WCF Gm#2: KINGS vs. Hawks - 6/2/13 - Heading Home 0-2 Again...

[Herby]

The Kings need a more skilled lineup and an infusion of energy

Penner - Carter - Toffoli
Brown - Richards - Williams
Richardson - Kopitar - Lewis
Nolan - Stoll - Fraser

Kopitar is our best defensive forward but can't be counted on to score right now. Stoll has been struggling so far, move him down but he can still take big draws. Carter's line was great tonight, Carter doesn't need Richards. See if Richards can get Brown and Williams going, because Kopi certainly isn't.

I put Nolan in just because King and Clifford look like zombies out there, and we need energy on the 4th line.

But this may not matter, very rarely do players miss one game with a concussion.

 

[Little Psycho]

If they thought what Fraser did to Toews was bad they would commit suicide over how the Bruins play.

Lol it will be great!

 

[Peter James Bond]

I would have no problem putting Pearson in for King and maybe Vey for Fraser.

This. I agree, 100%.

Pretty much F the NHL and Shanacan't. If MR is out then it just confirms every bit of BS about that guy.

Jeez Fraser looked lost out there. King with those wide turns.... Brutal

 

[Little Psycho]

Well, fudge.

Once the blood got going...and he had symptoms...I said if you're not 100%, you're not playing.' - Sutter on Richards.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

This. I agree, 100%.

We need to match their skill, We should put some of the kids in for sure.

 

[Shellz]

The Kings can win all they want at home..

This series is the Hawks to lose, sadly. Kings just can't get it done on the road and I think it starts with preparation.

 

[KingsFan7824]

The Kings finally lost a game by a score, and a way, they should've lost a good number of games in these playoffs, even at home. Quick has usually been there to rescue the skaters. He wasn't tonight, and the skaters didn't do anything different. Maybe this lack of whatever will get something going in a do or die Game 3.

If St.Louis had the offensive players the Hawks do, the Kings would've been out in the 1st round, in 4, 5 tops.

It's not over yet. The Kings took another punch to the nose. They now have to respond by coming up with a 3rd period of Game 4 against the Blues, or a Game 5 against the Sharks, type of effort in Game 3 against the Hawks. It's no more complicated than that.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Damn! Sounds badass. I should never turn the game off again regardless of the score...

I only kept it on in case of some kind of drama like that. Was a nice moment. I think the Kings should use it to build some fire for game 3. They're not a team that just lays down.

 

[damacles1156]

Richards is done for the series.

 

[Shellz]

The Kings might as well sit Kopitar. He has been no help and I have never said that about him before....makes me feel sick.

 

[kinghock]

Again, I think we need to put some of the young kids in to inject some life into this corpse of a team. It can't get any worse and you must be lying to yourself if you say it can. We need to try some kids in and give them more than 5 minutes of ice time.

We need to try some kids with skills. No more King, Fraser.
Replace them with Pearson and Vey.
I know it is risky or borderline desperate, but players without skills cannot win against Chicago.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Well, fudge.

@helennothelene

I agree. Protect your investment.

 

[ARIES626]

Got to hand it to Regehr for still playing after that head shot in the warm ups. He is a tank on skates.

 

[reset]

Well, fudge.

@helennothelene

ugggh. sometimes, its just not meant to be.

 

[moosehead81]

Richards is done for the series.

You know this how? Concussion yes you may be right; but he's also had shoulder problems over the years.

 

[damacles1156]

Read the LA times Post.....He is done.

It's going to take more than a couple days to get over symptoms.

Lol I think that shot to the head made him score on us.

I would agree, but sounds like Richards is done. We can still use Kopi for pk and face offs.

You don't get shoulder symptoms from skating under the lights. Writing's on the wall there.

 

[Shellz]

Meh. Well, throw him on the 4th line.

 

[Ron*]

I remember I told all the fake fans to leave after being down 0-2 to the Blues, but yet they came back...

...wonder how many of you still believe or not.

I do agree Chicago is the better team and maybe this is their year, but remember it still takes 4 games to win a series and we aren't done yet.

I will be there Tuesday night rooting on my team. Who is with me?

 

[KingKopitar11*]

If we wait too long to put the kids in, it might be too late.

We need to match skill with skill no matter how in experienced they are. We can't beat them playing our game. We need to try to play a bit of their game.

Pearson and Vey out for King and fraser would be great. We really have nothing to lose, atleast change it up and see what happens.

 

[moosehead81]

Kopitar has just got to be playing thru an injury cause he's a shadow of his former self. As I said before, Kings have been a bit fortunate to be as far along as they are given the lack of production by Kopi.
