WCQF Gm#1: KINGS vs. BLUES - 4/30/13 - Tough Pill, But We'll Bounce Back!

[eleventy]

that's the kind of puck playing mishaps I make on my beer league team...

 

[BamBam1031]

It was because of Quick that we got that far in the first place.

We were well scouted. They were in our passing and shooting lanes all night. Our breakouts, our cycles, everything. We need to make adjustments.

 

[Live in the Now]

We lost game 1. This is so foreign to us.

Actually pretty common to be honest. Different situation than last year, the team will have to show the ability to overcome adversity.

I would roll with the same lines that finished that game. Defense should be fixed if Greene and Martinez can play.

 

[GKJ]

That scared us all so much last year.

 

[Sandino]

Embarrassing way to lose a playoff game. In Overtime. While on a Powerplay.

 

[ukyo]

Not exactly similar, but this just reminds me of Boyle's OT own goal.

That was exactly what I was thinking. And just like that one, the team taps the poor guy's pads, and head for the dressing room. They'll be back.

 

[CNS]

This is the most embarrassed I've been as a Kings fan in a long time. I can't even believe how pathetic that was because HE'S NEVER ****ING IMPROVED ON IT AND HE STILL TRIES TO HANDLE THE PUCK.

 

[Telos]

It's every time he touches the puck too. On a team with Hextall, Ranford, and Bernier for guidance... Sigh. Quick was the first star though, can't lay it at his feet.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Man, I thought we had them. The Blues were gassed.

 

[TwoMinutesWellWorthI*]

Could Jonathan Quick be any dumber? Jesus christ, what a ****ing idiot.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Meh, I don't care. Game one, whatever. I still think we got this series.

 

[LAX attack*]

That was exactly what I was thinking. And just like that one, the team taps the poor guy's pads, and head for the dressing room. They'll be back.

Yeah likewise, but the Sharks ended up winning that series.

My take away from that game - the Kings can absolutely dominate the Blues and make it look like last year still.

 

[SLang]

Haaahahahaha.....choke of the century right there. I was thinking that taking this to OT was a win, even if they lost....but damn what a way to lose! Gotta LOL...or I'd COL. On to game 2.....

 

[I Am Ziggy Palffy]

2 Things:

1. Hopefully this wakes the Kings up. Last year was too easy.
2. Quick has always been bad with the puck. Disappointed, but not surprised

 

[AKAY47]

Quick is ****ing Pejorative Slured. What the **** is he doing stickhandling the puck there? We're on a ****ing 4 min PP, throw the puck around, wow. I would've rather them lose in regulation

 

[Martyros]

Penner was the best player out there imo.

Martinez in for ellerby please, for the love of god.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Disappointing given the chance we had *however* we controlled OT, let's carry that over, steal game two and head back home in good shape.

Any kind of momentum evaporated with that last play.

Literally just gave the game to them. All that hard work, gone.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

This is the most embarrassed I've been as a Kings fan in a long time. I can't even believe how pathetic that was because HE'S NEVER ****ING IMPROVED ON IT AND HE STILL TRIES TO HANDLE THE PUCK.

He was great, but he's stupid still thinking he can play the puck. When will he stop that ****.

 

[kingsfansince1967]

Well, Quick is going to stay in his goal for the rest of the series, that's for sure!

Where were the Kings tonight? Blues were all over the place.

 

[Bandit]

I have such a headache from that Fox ******** and then to piss away the game on a PP like that...

Kings are getting swept.

**** that noise. Blues played the game of their life and barely won in OT with a gift from Quick. Blues are going DOWN!

 

[SFKingshomer]

Blues played their A game and it took a boneheaded play in OT to beat us. I'm not worried...we will bounce back.

 

[TheSentinel]

At least we know 2012 Quick is Back.

 

[Omni Owl]

You live by the Quick and die by the Quick....

 

[onlyalad]

Why was there no King there to help him.
Kings need to get back on those. They know Quick cant play the puck and leaving him alone with a forward is a mistake.
Not taking all the blame off Quick. He forgot to look and then was surprised to see a forward in his face but a Kings Dman should have come back quicker

 

[jml87]

Seriously, Quick. We're blaming QUICK?! The guy that made 40 saves tonight? The only reason they got to OT in the first place? The guy who was ****ing flipping all over the ice every time our defense wet themselves in front of him? You have got to be ******** me. You people are insane.

We were completely dominated tonight. One goal tonight is all we could muster. Just pathetic from the forwards to the defensemen to the coaching. But not Jonathan Quick. Just stop.
