It would be nice if there was someone in front of the net to clean up the garbage once in a while when the goalie gives up a rebound. Muzzin gets it on net, not a player withing 10 feet.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'd be thrilled to be wrong. I'd also be thrilled if Florida didn't score in the next 5 shots.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Happy to be wrong, but I would have been upset if the teams were reversed

Why?

 

[damacles1156]

Budaj leaves a lot of the corners open, Florida almost picked another one.

 

[kingsfan28]

Maybe Kopitar and Gaborik don't know that King now has 2 more goals than both of them this year. That's $20m in salary between Kopitar and Gaborik this year too. At least that number goes down to $18m next year.

Maybe they're afraid to shoot, because most nights neither gets more than 1 shot, if that.

 

[damacles1156]

Kopitar/Kempe have done nothing but give up possession and scoring chances against. First decent play all night.

 

[kingsfan28]

I'm being optimistic, but Kopi may have put that in if not for the penalty.

 

[kingsfan28]

This powerplay sucks right now!

 

[KingsFan7824]

Strong moves at the net by Kopitar. Wish there was more of that. Everyone does.

And another solid PP.

 

[damacles1156]

Florida had more scoring chances on that PP, lazy, lazy , lazy skating by the Kings.

I would say fire the coach, but I honestly think it wouldn't make a difference.

This powerplay sucks right now!

Sucking would be an improvement

That was a golf swing by Doughty...

 

[kingsholygrail]

Omg that Pearson goal

 

[kingsholygrail]

ye ole can opener there.

 

[damacles1156]

Pearson is having a break out year.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Add another $250k.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

That was a beaut. Pearson makes this a tie game, folks. 2-2.

 

[Telos]

Excellent play by Pearson. Gotta love the initiative.

 

[kingsfan28]

That was an NHL goal Pearson!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Toffoli and Carter both took those defenders out of the play and Pearson did the rest. Beautiful.

 

[johnjm22]

Pearson has been accounting for a large percentage of the Kings offense lately.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Wow. That was gorgeous. And Jim and Ralph have been making me laugh all night. "Wow, hes' a dancer!"

 

[kingsfan28]

Pearson opened him up like a can opener.

2-2

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

LaDue needs to stay for the rest of the season. He's going to be a keeper for sure. He's only going to get better.

 

[kingsfan28]

No finish there by Shore.
