The hit was awesome but his breakout pass to Richards to lead to their first goal was a thing of beauty. I hadn't been that impressed with him lately as well but he's been very good in games 3 and 4.

^ Thanks. I just noticed that Carter was on the ice during Kopi's goal. Is Carter now on the first line?

With Carter and Kopitar scoring the kings can win the series. Ellerby is more comfortable playing on the left side, now that Scuderi is on the right side. They need keep going after Jackman, because he seems not be able to keep from taking bad penaltys.

What I love about that goal is seeing how for just a moment the Blues let Kopitar make some room and he scores a goal.

Lines moved around a whole heck of a lot. Seems that:
Brown, Kopitar, Carter
King/Penner/Clifford Richards Williams
But then it changed minute to minute. Same with the defensive pairings. Lots of movement.
What I love about that video is how happy Kopi is. And Brown. Like brothers helping each other out.

Allow me to retort
with 7 dmen, someone had to double shift....since those players double shift, they would have to take a rest once in a while so he(Williams, for example) ends up playing on a different line.
That goal was nuts -- a video game game goal. So was Penner's.
Both were unexpected in a series like this one has been.
The shifting around really screws with Hitchcock's ability to match lines, too (already tough on the road).
Really curious to see how Sutter's 7 D strategy works in St Louis.
Also -- kudos to Sutter and the coaching staff for putting in the work and finding an answer to St Louis' answer to what the Kings have been doing the past two post seasons.

How could Blake have known?
Brown - Kopitar - Carter
King - Richards - Williams
Penner - Stoll - Lewis
Clifford - Fraser - Carter/Brown/Williams
Makes the most sense, especially with Penner playing so well. Three most talented guys on one line, Williams gets the most out of whoever he plays with, and the third line was our best line last night.
Hopefully DS sticks with these lines.

Long live the Kings!
Has Sutter finally found a winning formula? Have The kings finally got there MoJo back? I believe they have. Last nights game was great!! Penner was everywhere, No major turnovers, Passing was incredible and are top lines are scoring again. I hope they take this winning energy to St Louis and close the door on the Blues in 6!!!

I think we definitely took a step forward, in that we're playing our game better, but we have to remember every game has still been a one-goal game. No room for error. At the moment the difference is that we have the better finishers and the better goalie, we just need to keep that up and try to steal one in St. Louis.
We also seem to have turned the tide mentally in that the Blues are starting to look a little fragile and the Kings are feeding off that. Going back to St. Louis means that they will have a slight advantage in matchups, so it will be interesting to see how Sutter deals with that.

No it shows Kopitar that going to the net gets you chances, not playing high all the time trying to win a Selke. Kopitar needs to understand he needs to be a offensive force. Back checking is great but don't think like a 3rd line Center.
If Kopitar wasn't playing high (to cover for Egg McMuzzin) then he wouldn't have been left all alone in the first place to skate in to the slot and score the goal
Kopitar was open because Berglund was watching Muzzin skate away while Kopitar breakdanced in behind him

Regarding Regehr's check on Reaves:
In no way was Reaves defenseless or not aware of the impending hit. Regehr waited until Reaves was close to the boards so he wouldn't go into the boards face first, and then he turned him into a bug on the plexiglass. The primary point of contact was not the head.
That's good, tough old time hockey right there.

Great game last night and an awesome first playoff experience for my girlfriend. I left the game most impressed with Dustin Brown's play on the Kopitar goal...great stuff from the Captain when it was needed most.
I then discovered this last night: DUI Fries. Just dropping a suggestion for the next GDT as these were absolutely the right call after the game.
