Terrible, have been watching this game from 3 am to 5.45 am now. I'm dog tired and now a 18 minutes stoppage and OT.

I can only say, that the Blues deserved this one. They seem to be in the Kings zone all the time.

Meh they Kings have barley been in this series.

The Blues have outplayed them in just about every game.

Quick is the only reason the Kings are not out in 4.

4 times this year, Quick has created a faceoff with under a minute left and given a goal up on the ensuing faceoff.

I told my wife that was going to cost us and sure enough, we give up a goal.

Way to make it harder on everyone else.

It gave St Louis a chance to call a play with an extra player. If we keep the clock going, then they can't regroup.

Total **** up by Quick there. Bad idea. He doesn't learn.

So it's not Stoll's fault for losing the faceoff. It's Quick's fault for stopping the play. Lol, ok.
 
How many of us don't feel good about OT? Especially how St. Louis has been kicking our ASS in the third!

Blues are playing better as a team. They are all over the ice and flow together as a five man unit. They look like the kings did last year. They just don't have the top end skill that the kings do to run the table in the playoffs.

A blues-Blackhawks WCF could be a great series if Elliott continues to play well.
 
Play passive and you set yourself up to lose. Play with the will to win, apply pressure and you win games. Enforce your will upon your opponent and they will wilt.

If this is the Kings 'next level' or 'extra gear', well i prefer the 2012 version that controlled games and exerted their will upon their opponents.

It was just Quick's fault a few days ago for not stopping the play.

Nope, you win the faceoff, you score another goal. The Kings have hung Quick out to dry four times in this series. They've won one of them, hopefully they can win a second.

It's Quick's fault for allowing the Blues to get the extra attcker set-up and call a play.

When the puck is in play, there is no regroup by the Blues.

Sure, Stoll could have won the faceoff, but if the puck keeps moving and clock keeps moving, the Blues don't have a set play in our zone.
 
Quick couldn't see through a sea of bodies. They had the extra player, they were desperate and scored.

Quick is the only reason the Kings are not golfing right now. The Blues have kicked the Kings ass all over the ice, except for maybe a couple of periods.

At some point the Kings have to win a game for Quick.

Kings just don't have the defensemen to play like last season. Mitchell and Greene can shut down a game like no one else on the kings.

I don't think it was a good idea to go to four lines. Sutter should have stayed with 7 D man, it allowed everyone to play lower minutes.

The Kings are going to be gassed in the OT.

Blaming our goalie? Are you even watching the game?

I don't understand it either. Quick did everything he could to steal this game. His team let him down.

Shots are 32-18 for the blues. Kings are just as lucky to be in OT tonight as they were in game one.

Kings need to get lucky to get the win tonight. I don't see another pp in their future.

It allowed the Kings to regroup too. They had a chance to set up everything too. If the goalie feels things are a little chaotic he's going to stop the puck. If he played the puck and turned it over, you would've been mad at him too. He's not good at puckhandling so he covered it. He played everything fine. It's not Quick's fault the Kings lose their mind when there's a defensive zone faceoff with a minute left.
 
These guys are too professional to let this bother them. They'll win this yet.

Hard to do when you generate zero chances after going up 2-1.

The Kings get zero puck possession. It's sad.

They haven't been trying to get puck possession. For the last ten minutes of that period it was clear the puck out at any cost, regroup, clear again. No attempt to link together some passes or skate it out.

It's wrong to blame Quick, totally wrong. Only reason St. Louis didn't break out the brooms.
