it would be a huge risk, but Pearson and Vey. I know it'll never happen but maybe they would at least play with some energy and Vey would at least provide more offense than Richie.

You'd play Lewis and Nolan over Williams and Richards in a playoff series?

 

[Reclamation Project]

6-3. Yuck.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

To add to above its clear the SJ coaching staff did it's homework. Let's see how that holds up over a linger series.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

If I'm Sutter, I'm at least considering benching Richards and Williams for game 2. They have done nothing positive for the past month.

No reason to bench either, just move them down the lineup:

Gaborik-Kopi-Toffoli
Pearson-Carter-Williams
King-Stoll-Brown
Clifford-Richards-Lewis

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Don't scratch anyone. Only Nolan for Pearson. And just put the lines that are working together. Don't force anything.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Kopitar played pretty dang good though.. 6 shots and 9 hits.

Can't really complain about Lewis tonight, Nolan though no i wouldn't want to.

I'm saying just for one game to try to get Williams and Richards back on track. Not for the rest of the series.

King-Stoll-Brown
Clifford-Richards-Lewis

I like this lineup a lot.

 

[fsanford]

Bodes well for game 2 is all I see. Big picture it would be nice to take one in SJ but it's still not a series till the home team loses a game. Glad we got our ***** kicked all over the rink in the first two periods to force some adjustments. Have no doubt that Quick will bounce back hard and the big guys will be ready to play.

This, Kings win Sunday and Sharks have to win at their house of horrors that is Staples to win the series.

Yeah this would probably work a lot better than my idea

 

[Little Psycho]

I just realized...Sutter might play Greene in game 2. I really hope not.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Also man if doughty would have scored that third goal drool worthy. Or kopitar. Hope he just had the wind knocked out of him.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Kopitar played pretty dang good though.. 6 shots and 9 hits.

He's always good. Even when the offense isn't there he's a defensive force.

King-Stoll-Brown

I like this lineup a lot. I'm a big fan of that third line, they always play well. And you give Carter some linemates who can keep up with him, which hasn't been the case when he plays right wing.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Brownie is pissed and annoyed. Good.

****ing right.

 

[Ron*]

Interesting stat: Historically between the two teams 14 playoff games, 1st one won by home team, next 5 by road team, last 8 by home team...

 

[Reclamation Project]

Brownie is pissed and annoyed. Good.

Needs to translate to something.

 

[Little Psycho]

Brownie is pissed and annoyed. Good.

Did he try to knee any of the reporters?

 

[Tadite]

I just realized...Sutter might play Greene in game 2. I really hope not.

This is his type of game. Alex's gets a bit pushed around in very physical games.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Did he try to knee any of the reporters?

Rofl.

Can't access the knee avatar right now but I bet he sent that one after the dumb questions.

Dirty, classless answers.

Prefer greener over Regehr

While I agree, the last thing we need to do is ice another slow footed defenseman

 

[Little Psycho]

If only he was a bit faster and took less delay of game penalties.

 

[damacles1156]

Muzzin was the best defender, I mean that's enough said.

Drew is still hurt, and it shows.
