PGT: Game 32: Kings vs. Blackhawks - 3/25/13 - What a game!

[Tadite]

Crazy game. Now that they scored 5 they don't have to be clutching their sticks so tight. The second line was absolutely horrendous all night. The third and fourth lines really carried the workload, as did Drew Doughty who should be the #1 star of the game.

Thing I like about Sutter is that if you're not playing to you're abilities you're playing less minutes. Richards with 14 minutes seems on the low side. Be better!

Loved this game though.

3-0 with Toffoli in the lineup? eh eh?

 

[1dude]

Great game.

the goal by Toffoli was epic.

Richards did suck this game.

now DC time

I honestly was not expecting us to pull this out. This team knows how to surprise us on the big stage though!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

Not exactly sure how to feel about this game. Really happy for the win but the 2nd line needs to get it together. Few too many defensive breakdowns. Wasn't pretty, but 2 points is 2 points and great to win against the best in the league.

So much for Toews owning Kopi;

What time is the Kings' visit to the White House? Is it on FSW?

 

[AmadiosAmigos]

Doughty plays 30 seconds short of 30 minutes, absolutely puts the team on his back to create the very important 3rd goal and give us momentum for the 3rd and the losing HAWKS have Frolik and Keith named 1st and 2nd stars with Brown being 3rd. Wow... not that it matters, but talk about a bias.

 

[Muzzfan]

Great game for NBC to show. Lead changes and good physical game.

Glad we come upon top in the game. Good start to the roadie.

Go Kings!

They toyed with our emotions! Now if the second line shows up, I think they'd make our lives a bit easier. Goes to show you how mightly the team struggles when the top guns aren't on top of their game, but I was very satisfied by how Stoll, Nolan, Fraser, Toffoli, Clifford and Lewis stepped it up. King played well too and of course they got the big goal by Brown at the end. Kopitar played considerably better tonight too, but Williams, Carter and Richards have to get going.

The star of the game for the Kings has to be Doughty though. Who knows where this team would be without him keeping the defense together in absence of Mitchell and Greene.

Can't believe that there were four goals scored off of face offs. Fitting that the kings game winning goal was off a face off.

Toffoli sheltered on the fourth line looked much better. Smart move by Sutter.

Richards should sit if he is hurt. Doesn't look the same out there the past few games.

First period lines were horrific. Glad Sutter switched them back quickly.

Huge two points for the kings. Need to keep it going against st. Louis.

Kings dominated the shots again. Finally rewarded with some goals.

Could use some big saves by their goaltender.

As a hockey fan that was highly entertaining. As a kings fan... I'll take it!

Toffoli will be a wonderful player once he gets used to the playing style of the kings/add some weight too.

Even though toffoli isn't really fitting I think he'd fit soon so its best to give him games cause I think he'd turn out to a real keeper. Just needs to get stronger and forecheck more.

Also, has anyone noticed how good he is with his stick? I see him stick checking players very well.

There is no getting around home ice bias...that's why the three stars have becoming something of a joke in some arenas.

I think our arena is neutral when it comes to 3 Stars right?

 

[CNS]

3 stars are voted on by the media. Blame the Chicago media people.

 

[damacles1156]

Just watched my DVR, wow what a shot by Toffoli....Sick sick hands.

The Defense was awful, Richards/Carter were awful.

Next game please.

 

[Sydor25]

Can't believe that Kane was able to get away with two high sticks and Richards is called for a follow through on a shot.

NHL refs have had a rough season.


I hope herby enjoyed that game. His favorite player with the sniped SH goal.

Fantasy owner lurking around here, what's up with Richards? Been absolutely unproductive these last couple of games. Are these unlucky bounces or is his play been derailing for quite some time?

Some of us think he might be playing hurt.

Been some rumors that he's playing injured. His play has gone downhill ever since he took a bit of a cheapshot from Tim Jackman a couple weeks ago. He sat out practice the other day.

Playing injured, and it shows.
