Shots 21-9, yikes

Kinda reminds of the TM coached team doesn't it?

It makes one wonder what the Kings work on during there practice. It surely isn't offense or puck control.

 

[damacles1156]

Worst playoff performance I've seen in the last 4 seasons.

That is what I thought, that Start was just really bad.

Second period was better, but by then the game was just so tilted.

 

[Nefarious]

Idkk man. Blues just killed everything we had.

I think you're on to something. Seriously.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Conserving energy, because clearly these guys have absolutely nothing left in the tank. It seems like a chore for them to chase after the puck.

 

[MxH0CKEY]

Worst playoff performance I've seen in the last 4 seasons.

I'd say the playoff performance where the kings blew 4 goals against the sharks would be considered at the top.

 

[William H Bonney]

Idkk man. Blues just killed everything we had.

I don't buy it. It was a tough series and definitely took its toll but most of the Kings didn't show up for that series either. Hard to say the Blues killed something the Kings never showed up with in that series.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Now my question is, were the last 5 minutes of the 2nd a sign of finally figuring out the Sharks' pressure or the Sharks just took a breather? We shall see.

 

[ElKingsFan92]

You know, I've come to terms with the fact that the Kings aren't going to repeat this year, but for the love of god, at least get past the Sharks. I want them to be as miserable as we're going to feel once we bow out, maybe even more since they still haven't won a Cup.

 

[Herby]

I am just amazed at how Mike Richards continues to get quality minutes. Kopitar is invisible again. Can't win games if your supposed top guys aren't scoring. I wish we could play that Penner-Lewis-Toffoli line all game, how great would that be? Top line for the Kings tonight no doubt.

He gets top minutes because sometimes he is the best player on the ice. Then he has games like this. I challenge Kings fans to find me a more inconsistent player from game to game than MRichards, I can go back almost 25 years and can't think of one. Frolov would look like an all-pro for 5 games and horrible for the next 5, lots of guys do that, never quite seen anyone who does what MR does from a game to game basis.

He'll probably be the best player on the ice in game 5 and no-show again game 6 or 7.

 

[1dude]

this game would be fun to watch if we were winning

- come out strong in the 3rd...make the Sharks pay pls

The hitting picked up, Sharks players were paying a price to move the puck. It showed.

 

[The Butcher]

Everythings fine people, relax.

 

[ElKingsFan92]

I really hope DS is pissing the players off in the locker room. At least show me you still care about winning thos game.

 

[The Butcher]

Need to make some serious adjustments but this series still has a lot of second chances coming up for us.

We just need to get one tonight to get our legs going again.

Dustin Brown, Justin Williams, and since about March, Anze Kopitar. They've all been just as wildly inconsistent performers.

Richards has been our best forward these playoffs, that's scary. Needs Penner back on that line.

The Kings have to break up the top line. Sutter was right when he did this the first time. They don't break it up, we're done.

Why does everyone keep pointing out Richards and Kopitar? How about all their wingers who are doing nothing to help them out? They're driving me nuts, but I still have yet to see any of our top wingers step up and put the puck in the net. It's like Rick and Kopi are responsible for everything that goes wrong on their line. The job of the center is to make plays and they can't do that if there's not a single guy out there with some open space.

 

[Nefarious]

That's kind of where I'm at. I just want the effort to be there. If they lose, then fine, as long as they tried hard and wanted the win.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Idkk man. Blues just killed everything we had.

Makes no sense, since we won the first 2 games against the sharx after the blues series.

 

[ARIES626]

Everythings fine people, relax.

What have you been smoking? Pass it along.I could use some.

 

[Shellz]

At least faceoff wins are doing well

 

[Reclamation Project]

Nine shots on goal. Pathetic. Don't even play a third...

 

[Nefarious]

What have you been smoking? Pass it along.I could use some.

No joke. I'm about to go take some of my special cough medicine.
