Pre-Game Talk: PDSF: (2) San Jose Sharks vs. (3) Los Angeles Kings (Schedule in OP)

[kingsholygrail]

Three unanswered goals. The Kingse were getting owned. I'm sure the line up had something to do with it.

They were answered. The final score was 6-3 and the Sharks clamped down pretty good after giving up the 3rd.

****ing clowns can't even delete the original tweet.

That's NBC L.A. for you. Then again, since Comcast has zero internet presence in L.A. and the fact they own the NBC family of networks...

Yeah, I should consider the source, but it's still insulting.

Once Comcast finishes buying out Time Warner it will.

Once Comcast finishes buying out Time Warner it will.

But, Comcast is purposely avoiding FCC scrutiny so that it can bring crappy capped and throttled internet to NYC and L.A. There's a reason why Comcast's reputation as a national embarrassment already reached JAPAN and gets Philadelphia, PA, dissed into "FAILadelphia" for it. Heck, even The Bronx calls Philly "Bronx Jr." for the latter's shenanigans.

At the moment, even The Bronx has uncapped AND unthrottled internet, compared to Silicon Valley/Northern California, Nashville, South Florida, DC, the Midwest (Chicago, Detroit, STL), Denver, Boston, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, and Philly, to name a few.

Back on topic, just place Trevor on the top line for the remainder of the series; he can handle Joe Thornton.

Well, ****. Let's hope the Sharks play like their sticks are broken for the rest of the series...

They got the jerseys backwards, that's actually Voynov.

DS deciding on Game 3 starter at Goaltender

Jon Rosen ‏@lakingsinsider 2h

Darryl referenced having to make a decision on his G2 starter. Quick is still expected to start G3, but it's still a decision, per DS.

Not expecting it, but that would be quite a shake up if Jones got the start.

All gamesmanship. Simply a big **** you to all the forwards and defensemen. This is on them, not 32.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Good move by DS. If this doesn't tell the players to man up, I don't know what will. Good. I respect this move. Respec

Yeah, the team has left Quick out to dry a number of times. Time to wake up guys.

 

[Reclamation Project]

So, what happens when Jones gets smoked for 5, 6, or 7 goals? Hell maybe 8 if they keep the trend going!

The forwards and defenders on this team need to sack up and play 60 minutes. Jonathan Quick is not the problem.

That was posted weird, DryIslandBartender. I meant that as a general statement and not an attack on your post.

Yep, hopefully just a mind game. Yeesh.

Oh damn, I almost forgot about this gem. Heard about it on the Steve Gorman Show.

There comes so much needed speed and skill. Sharks are doomed.

At least we have something to laugh about, eh KingKopitar?

Raffi Torres is going to check tears of blood out of him.

The lopsided results of this series thus far reminds me of the damage the Blues inflicted on the 1998 Kings where they had four lines completely dominate them in every which way possible. I'm not sure what to think of this team anymore. I mean, look at the way they performed in late December, January and early February.

This isn't a team that just went on hot and cold streaks, they dug themselves in a big rut for a lengthy period of time, and they've doing it yet again. They didn't look so hot to close out the season and the sloppy and lackadaisical play has carried over into the playoffs. To me, that is a major concern with the leadership group of this team and I question the heart of the supposed leader who wears a letter on his chest.

Someone on Twitter yesterday said something to the effect of "for those of you who weren't Kings fans until 2012, this is like all the years before summed up in two games"

I agree, I think some of it is leadership, some of it is having two (publicly, at least) too even-keeled, stoic coaches. At some point someone has to lose their mind.
