GDT: WCQF Gm#6: KINGS#5 vs. BLUES#4 - FRI 5/10/13 @ 7:00pm (FS-Prime, FS-MW, NBCSN, CBC)

[The Big Giant Head]

My heart would really appreciate the Kings closing this thing out tonight and even better, if we could win it by more than a goal, that would help a lot as well.

 

[BigBrown]

There are sooo many reasons not to want a game 7, let's end this tonight!

 

[jimmy1100]

Really excited for tonight's game but cautiously concerned about how it will affect my entire weekend. It's either two days of happiness or two days of worrying/anticipating Monday night.

Let's wrap this up and relax this weekend!!!

Clifford not in practice... anybody see anything unusual happen to him on Wednesday?

Maybe its a recovery day or whatever they call it when he doesnt Patrice but instead works on other things off the ice

Hope he is ok to play. If not does Nolan go in or do we role 7 D again?

 

[Aussie King]

Please close this out tonight. Going back to St. Louis for a game seven is the worst thing imaginable in these playoffs.

He went feet first into the boards on a forecheck, left the game for a few minutes, but returned later in the period. I think it was the 2nd. I would guess that's whats up with him right now.

Well going by the tweets Sutter said Clifford is either ...

- he WAS there, he just get's there before everyone else
- was filming a GEICO Commercial
- was filming the local weather report for Channel 4 News up in the Helicoptor
- was taking a maintenance day (a little banged up, but should play come game time)



Watch the first few seconds ...

Nolan skated with the 4th line during Practice though, so ?

 

[KingKopitar11*]

He didn't fall hard into the boards? He went pretty slowly feet first? But if its from that he probably tweaked his knee a bit.

 

[KingsCorona]

That 4th line looks like it could be a sleeper. They have a lot of toughness with Clifford and Fraser, and when Clifford is on his game he can be pretty good offensively. Even better, having shown that he can keep up with the big boys in playoff hockey, Toffoli is less a liability than he is a shockingly dangerous sniper for the bottom line.

Fraser's performance last year inthe playoffs was steller (I guess the whole teams was) he always seemed to get things going. Created energy.
Hopefully he can provide this again.

Toffoli also threw a pretty big hit last game, which is something that I wasn't expecting from him. I like that our 4th can grind and score goals.

Stole this link from PuckDaddy today. The 4th win in the series isn't the hardest. The 3rd one is. And we've already got that. Go Kings!

The notion of the fourth win being the hardest comes from the memorable occasions when desperate teams rallied to stave off elimination. Much more often, the teams who are able to win three games in a series have already shown their ability to avoid mistakes and come prepared—and doing it one more time results in a fourth win and a handshake.

 

[GKJ]

Focus and killer instinct. If there was one thing that plagued the Kings in last year's playoffs, it's that they had trouble putting teams away.

 

[Dats13DET]

I've been to about 6 different boards so far, looking at their GTD's and this is the only one other than my Red Wings that's actually worth looking at. It's nothing like the ducks board where they just slop something together and don't even show the lineups. Congratz and good luck to you guys tonight.

 

[taz346]

Great gdt P.U.
Kings will win this tonite because St.Louis stinks.

 

[KINGS17]

We're not just going to beat those ********, we're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the blades of our skates. We're going to cream those lousy Blues ******* by the bushel.

 

[Nefarious]

Go Kings Go!!!!

 

[KopitarFAN]

I need to study for my finals this weekend, let's wrap it up. GO KINGS GO!!!!

I have a feeling this will be a high scoring game.

 

[Ron*]

Clifford not in pre-game skate, but Richardson and Nolan are. So is Toffoli.

 

[kingsfan28]

Stoll was trying not to laugh at Moriarty's questions. He just couldn't wait for the interview to end.

 

[Ron*]

And Fraser.
