Lot of bad luck the last few games IMO. Not the way you want to end things before a road trip, that's for sure.
 
On the bright side, Quick has been looking a lot better.

You're not gonna win games with too many turnovers and letting the goalie see everything. Sutter should have shook up the lines or something.
 
Great, in the middle of a scoring drought and now they have to face the best team in the league. Fantastic.

Also can toffoli be put back in again?
 
You are not going to score on NHL goalies, if you let them see the puck.

None of those shots were from prime scoring areas ether. The Kings just took what the Nucks gave them.

Didn't even try to attack the dangerous parts of the ice.

That was a lazy game all around.
 
Better this is happening now. Not to worried yet they are just running into a string of bad luck.
 
Onto Chicago for Monday. Lets hope they pull their heads out of their rear ends because the Hawks have completely dominated the Kings in their past two meetings.

Well said.
 
O well on to the road.

Looks like just in time too, Kings last four periods of hockey has been lazy.

Road might be a cure for that.
 
Garrett from the Vancouver feed talked about how Sutter felt he was over-playing Kopitar, Brown and Williams to the point they were tiring out. I've recently noticed they almost constantly, game in, game out, come in 4-5 minutes TOI over Richards and Carter, to-day being no exception. And, to boot, their average shift lengths are almost 10 seconds or better than the ex-Flyers. Last year, the TOI were much closer and I wonder why the change. I don't see it but are Carter and Richards playing that poorly or is there some other reason- maybe saving them for the play-offs. I'm stumped.
 
Yes, the Hawks are so great and hard to score on. That's why they gave up 6 goals to Colorado and 6 to Edmonton, that's why the Kings owned them in the third period the last time the Kings were in Chicago. Let's not act like they're unbeatable, not even close. That's a loser's mentality, one many of the teams they've played have taken on. The Kings don't have that.
 
The Kings had a chance to make their lives a little easier in the standings over last two games, but just couldn't get it done. Now onto a difficult 5 game road trip.
