Blue Jackets fast. Kings are slow.

If anyone wants to see the crazy start Columbus has had so far:

2nd highest points% since 05-06.

12th highest GF since 05-06

5th lowest GA since 05-06

And just for fun, they are tied for the 2nd highest PP% since 87-88.

It's the perfect game for the Kings to suddenly win.

Kings sound prepared at least per Rosen, watching lots of video.

Man, I love Derek Forbort...he's gone next year isn't he

 

[KingsFan7824]

I guess Brown wasn't going to play even if the game on Sunday was at night like Sutter was saying. He's probably out like Kopitar was; day to day, but then it became a few more days than day to day.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Kopitar and Brown are out?

 

[theMajor]

Brown is out. man, I love when Carter gets booed in CBJ ....

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kopitar and Brown are out?

Kopitar is playing, but I can see why people would think he's not given how invisible he has been.

This already is looking like another ugly road game. Kings are slow as molasses, which results in another penalty for the Kings.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Still booed? lol

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Guess we're going back to dump and watch.

Hate when we don't even try the controlled entry when the other team already has a d-man back in their zone waiting. Too predictable. You're not going to get the puck back when the guy has 3 seconds, all he has to do is not screw up majorly.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Muzzin caught flat footed again. There has to be an injury in there somewhere.

Where is the tv broadcast? Fsw?

 

[King'sPawn]

Still booed? lol

The booing for Carter is hilarious. So bitter.

 

[kingsholygrail]

It should be FSW. 790KABC for radio.

Pretty fun, even period when all said and done. Liked Dowd getting spicy, he knew what he was doing with that poke and he earned the mouth full of gloves...but haven't seen a King do that willingly in a while. Needed the emotional engagement.

 

[lexlavender]

Good First. Kings looked slow and overwhelmed in the beginning, but looked faster and settled as the Period went on. Loved the Penalty Kills

 

[KingsFan7824]

Pretty fun, even period when all said and done.

Yeah. Killed off 2 PP's already. Something to build on.

So... 7 periods of regulation hockey without a goal? Cool.

Going for the record!

 

[Bandit]

Going for the record!

Wonder what that is, tbh.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Wonder what that is, tbh.

1928-29 Chicago Blackhawks have the most shutouts against NHL record with 20 of 44 games. So I imagine they hold it. lol

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Their biggest weakness, a backup goalie.
