Win the 3rd, make adjustments for game 2.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Slava's year doesn't worry me much. He's 24 and this was his first full season.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Hey hey hey! Voynov.

Define "playing"

Heh heh heh. Some of the best humor comes on losing nights.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Just win the period, maybe put some doubt in Niemi for game 2.

 

[Bandit]

It's a shame it took the Kings getting blown out to have Carter at his best position.

Hopefully he is at center where he belongs to start game 2.

How did the Kings win a cup with Carter playing where he didn't belong?

 

[Herby]

Difference being a fan than a know it all who he thinks he knows more than the professionals. There's not much discussion on here it's "fans" thinking they know more and are blowing up the team before game 1 is over

Once again, stats were posted that showed that Joe Thornton's line completely and utterly dominated Mike Richards line in last years playoffs, if we as fans have these numbers the coaches surely should as well and we as fans on a messageboard have every reason to be discussing why Sutter started the game matching up Richards against Thornton, which resulted in a goal in the 2nd shift the lines faced each other.

How can you say that we shouldn't be discussing that, what is the purpose of this board if something like this shouldn't be discussed?

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Slava breaks that 60+ game goal drought . At least that has to feel good.

He broke it in Vancouver.

 

[Bandit]

Just win the period, maybe put some doubt in Niemi for game 2.

Pretty much this.

 

[Telos]

Win the 3rd, make adjustments for game 2.

Pretty much. Try for the miracle, but get the momentum back, show the Sharks they too are vulnerable, and take it to game 2.

Luck, remember?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yup one more goal would be great.

Still think it's really weird to single any one plAyer out tonight

 

[Face Wash]

Why cant they play like this for 60 minutes.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Broke that 10 games ago bud

 

[Little Psycho]

Yep just win the period.

 

[damacles1156]

He broke it in Vancouver.

Didn't Stoll tip that one ?

 

[Herby]

Because the Kings actually had capable linemates in Richards and Penner to play with him. Penner is gone and Richards is here in body only.

Do you really think King-Richards-Carter is the Kings best option for the second line? Come on Bandit, you are better than that, I understand you want to be loyal but the guy is done and killing Carter.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Bob just called Paul Stastny Peter

 

[Bandit]

Oh Bob... Peter? Paul? What's the difference.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Bob just called Paul Stastny Peter

Flashback I bet.

 

[kovacro]

Bob just called Paul Stastny Peter

Could have been worse. He could have called him Marian or Anton.

Who else do we have for the second line? A rookie with 20 career NHL games?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Didn't Stoll tip that one ?

Nope. Was credited to him. Just checked. Either way he needs to contribute more.

 

[kovacro]

C'mon Niemi let in another one, you know you want to.

 

[Herby]

I like the energy the Kings have shown in the third. I like the adjustments Sutter made to the lines, it will probably to late to salvage this game, but it will be nice to have a little momentum and confidence going into game 2.

That is if Sutter doesn't just go back to the old lines.

 

[dogyekcoh*]

Carter and Richards need to show up in this series or we are done.
