GDT: WCQF Game 2: San Jose Sharks @ Los Angeles Kings | Saturday, Apr 16 2016 - 7:30PM

"Can anyone beat the Sharks?"

I could go on and on about schenn but reality is we have been top heavy all year and right now that top is getting schooled.

Kopitar, doughty, feel free to take over any time. This is no time to be average.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Also, doboer having the Sharks sit literally all five guys in the neutral zone to wreck our controlled breakouts/carries. It's obviously working really well, but hello Minnesota Wild.

 

[Omni Owl]

Sharks made a mistake at the end there, got the guys fired up at the wrong time. We should come out strong in the 2nd.

 

[HookKing]

Those two Irish guys hosting the game are delusional. They think the kings looked good out there.

 

[kingsfan28]

It could be worse.

I hope you're right.

One would hope but I'm not sure what to expect from this team each period. Hell it's been rare where they've exhibited any dominating, tone setting shifts that lasted more than just 30 seconds.

 

[KingsFan7824]

It'll be interesting to see how they come out for the 2nd. Quick is flying around every which way. Kopitar hasn't done...has he played yet? Doughty is, where? Carter? Toffoli? Lucic? Where are these guys? If not them, I'll even take Shore doing something. Anyone, anywhere. Someone do something.

 

[Hatter]

I'm surprised that this is surprising anyone

 

[The Butcher]

I like it when the Kings do hockey better.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It could be worse.

It is remarkable that the Sharks haven't scored more considering the chances they had. Officiating has been dreadful but the Kings have been their own worst enemy.

 

[kingsfan28]

The ground game has not shown up this series and it shows. Where the hell is our forecheck?

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I'm surprised that this is surprising anyone

I wasn't confident coming into this series at all, but I'm honestly surprised at just how awful they have been

Seriously, without that body save by Schenn on the pk, it's 2-0 .

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I trust sutter to make some adjustments. Reminds me a lot of the Sharks and Hawks and how they started their 2014 series with us making us look totally foolish and ineffective; the difference was then they were going for crazy streak passes and straight for the kill.

Now, the Sharks are trying to out-d us by killing our forechecking by setting up a minefield of players. Even if we just have to start throwing pucks at their feet, I'm confident sutter will find a tweak that will let us re establish some zone dominance

+1. There's just no fire/will on the Kings part. It's almost like they don't really give a ****.

 

[The Butcher]

Oh, I'm sure that's it.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The real difference makers have been the top players, and the Sharks' top guys have completely outclassed the Kings. Their bottom rotation players also haven't been a liability either. Shows to me that the Sharks have a deeper team. They also appear to be much faster than the sluggish Kings.

 

[Omni Owl]

Yup, if our top guys don't show up at some point its going to end in an ugly fashion.

 

[HookKing]

Kings beat to every puck, every pass/shot blocked or intercepted.

 

[Scottkmlps]

So Chorney holds McNabb's stick under his arm for about 5 seconds and no call.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I won't get greedy and ask for a goal, but how about a decent scoring chance?

 

[Bandit]

Main board thread full of twelve year olds. God times. LOLILILOLOLOLOLOLO

 

[TonySCV]

Kings need to find another gear pronto.

 

[TonySCV]

They're hitting, but they need shots. None this period so far, and 5 total.
