I just got a rush of feeling. Sweet revenge for that heart breaking game 3 a few years back. I had the best seats of my life that game, just a row or two from the glass, Kings shoot twice. That roller coaster of emotion. I wanted to cry and kick people on the way out, but I didn't. I just plotted in my heart to get them back someday. Finally that nightmare can be put to bed.

Thank you. I don't revel too much in the victory. As a long time fan of the Kings I know the pain of a long rap sheet of team disappointments.

Now if we beat the Ducks, I can't say I'll be so gracious.

That's 'cause he gives dumb answers to their dumb questions and makes them look like idiots :laugh:
I simultaneously love it and yet can't watch because I get replacement shame for the reporters.

I always felt like post-game questions are usually pretty lame, useless and/or obvious ("How does it feel to lose??", or "Your guy who scored 6 times is pretty awesome, huh? What do YOU think??"), so it's nice to have someone who basically makes them sound as dumb as they are.

Also, Sutter's face on the video freeze-frame is priceless, LMAO
 
Full quote from Logan Couture.

Couture said the Sharks lost to a better team, one that showed more grit and resolve than San Jose.

"They're a great hockey team over there," Couture said. "They've got a great lineup, one line through four, one D-man through seven, and in my mind the best goaltender in the world. They're no pushover over there. It's just so disappointing that we were able to go up 3-0 and not find a way to have that killer instinct, to find a way to scrape and claw and win games like they did. It's tough saying it, but I think the better team won the series. They were better than us. We lost four games. It's tough."
 
Muzzin really did elevate his game and he looks like a different player when he is playing with confidence. Earlier in the season, whenever he struggled, you could just tell he was unsure of himself, he would hesitate to make plays and took too long to make decisions on the ice. He didn't look like a player playing with confidence but played like someone who was afraid of making mistakes.

Playing with Doughty and sticking with that pairing has really helped him out. He appears to be a lot calmer, his decision making has improved and he's quickly getting the puck out and not trapping himself or his linemates due to a bad pass or bad positioning. He's been the clear cut #2 dman on this team right after Doughty thus far in the playoffs.

It also has to be mentioned that the second pairing really improved their play as well. Guys like Voynov, Regehr, Mitchell and Greene were killing the Kings with their sloppy play, but they cleaned that crap up after the 3rd loss. The Kings wouldn't be advancing to the 2nd round had it not been for their turnaround.
 
This was really really impressive by the Kings. Kopitar is something special, and he is a...Slovenian? The land of like 2 rinks :P
 
Stoll, wow did he elevate his game.

Stoll's season was not that bad either, he was pretty darn good this year.

Kings good job YO.

Wow great production. They know what they're doing up there. Not just covering the play, but covering the emotions. Great stuff.

Feel sorry for the fans, not the team. Hate the team with a boiling passion.

And I sure as HELL don't want them winning squat at the expense of the Kings. Ever. Never. Ever.

With the new playoff setup, we'll be running into them a lot I'm sure. Let's just hope we're always a step ahead of them in developing our team/players.

Love this article, if only for the important part about this team: "Years from now, I'm sure I well tell my kids about these Kings."

Can you imagine many years down the road having these players come back for legends nights? or when some of these guys get their jerseys up in the rafters?

Amen, the way they cut to the bench...the raw emotion was crazy. Sharks were shellshocked. If I would have had that feed, I probably would have been a lot less nervous :laugh:

Honestly, as much as I hate that rat face I respect the hell out of this quote. Now that's the kind of attitude you want from a captain.

Trading Thornton/Marleau may not be an option, but perhaps moving the captaincy to a kid like Couture would really send a message and begin a culture change up there.

I also think it's time to get rid of TMac. Guy is just consistently out coached in seven game series.
 
Pretty impressive game. I'm not even pissed Sutter completely dicked with the lines at the end of the first and begging of the second. Just why man? I know Sutter has nightmares about Pearson out there when he can't control the matchups.

Everyone stepped up. Williams has been playing well with Stoll/King, but tonight he even looked fine with Kopitar on a few shifts. Making plays and not hesitating/having trouble finding his line mates.

:laugh:
Duck... it's what's for dinner.
 
What I love most about all this is seeing players develop and carry through. Players you wouldn't expect to make the jump so fast, or expect them to fold in these situations, coming out like this.

Muzzin, had moments where he messed up and that's normal. But the guy was reading plays exceptionally, playing the puck, and taking the man when needed. And angling the puck out really well, especially on the PK. I dont think I remembering seeing them intercept his clearing attempts. He's been great.

Pearson- Dude's got the wheels. What I love the most about Pearson is his no-******** approach to the game. Some players when they're playing you can tell they're over thinking, or just thinking too much. Pearson has really good hockey IQ and awareness in the offensive zone. he's agile too. I've seen him do some pretty quick and fast set ups, goal or not, were really smart attempts. Plus he's not scared to shoot. Plus he never backed out of scrums.

Tyler Toffoli- Game 7, limited ice time. Gets the cushion goal. Clutch player. I love the chemistry between Toffoli and Pearson. Toffoli is better at reading plays than pearson which makes him a more knowledgeable playmaker, dude can make plays even though he's known to be a sniper.Toffoli also has been rocking some players, his hitting game is really nice, especially this series. He's been hitting a lot and has been great on the forecheck. One thing that people don't know how good toffoli is with his stick on defense. He stick lifts a ton, and locks up sticks very well. I didn't expect him to be so good without the puck, with his stick. Just a really nice attribute to have. He has the signs of a really good stick checker in the future, gonna be stripping a lot of pucks.


Oh..and Matt Greene is just trash. My god. :)
