The Kings shouldn't look this tired.

 

[Bandit]

Well, tied after 2. I think if anyone told us that we'd take it & run. Team has to show up for the 3rd though. Not sure they have much left in the tank.

 

[tny760]

i like seeing clifford taking legitimate runs at guys, not just hitting them

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

just got home and I see Carrier is playing now i'm even more angry Doughty was suspended such a travesty

 

[SFKingshomer]

Kings forwards aren't close enough on the breakout causing a lot of turnover from bad passes by inexperienced D.

 

[LAKings88]

Got to respect the team speed of Vegas.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Hard to be mad with 1-1 at this point, might as well go Brown-Kopitar-Carter and have at least one line that can generate offense

 

[riznat]

So hard to watch, are we just too worn out or just not good?

 

[onlyalad]

Can we see the 3rd period Kings of the regular season, merci beaucoup.

I think Merci Beaucoup plays left wing for the Habs

 

[lumbergh]

Kathryn Tappen makes JR almost bearable.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Pearson providing a great screen.

He's been great at that this season and love seeing it carry over.

All the Quick haters better be eating a lot of crow right now. He’s the only reason this game isn’t 5-1 Knights.

Seriously. Roll Call. We all said he'd need to be our best player to have a chance...he's 2012ing. Get him some love and some support.

Yeah Cliffy is going THROUGH dudes, love it.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Not only is Kopi having to check other teams top lines, he's having to skate everything out of their zone because the D can't make a long pass.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Gutsy ass performance. I think if we told anyone before the night we'd be 1-1 going into the third period of this game AT Vegas with shithole reffing and without Doughty, Muzzin, and Forbort we'd take it.

Quick's given us a chance. Get it done.

 

[member 88115]

A few uncharacteristic turnovers

I agree, his body is starting sag and now looks heavy. Not surprised with the turnovers. They were on PP to start. Kings score on the next shift. Right after Kopi is out with Carter and Brown

 

[SFKingshomer]

Kathryn Tappen makes JR almost bearable.

I'd Tapp that

 

[DoktorJeep]

Kings winning the special teams battle, need to draw more penalties on Vegas in the 3rd.

 

[TwzKing]

Just survive, win this game, get people back. Win at home.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Just need one in the 3rd, and not give anything up. Enable God mode, Quick.

The Kings shouldn't look this tired.

When you spend too much time in your own end defending and chasing, you are going to get worn down. I’d like to see the offensive possession zone numbers 5 on 5. Vegas is spending a bunch more time on our zone than we are in theirs.

Vegas is creating turnovers which is extending their puck time in the Kings end. It’s going to catch up to our guys sooner or later. Got to get that puck out.

We cannot seem to sustain any possession in their end. We’re one and done for the most part.

Not going lie, but they look legit. I thought LA was going to bring their forcheck and puck control: But Vegas team speed and passing has giving us fits.

They're like Pittsburgh. Just flip it out to center ice and use their speed to retrieve it. Don't need good d-men for that.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Props to Amadio...made 2 good plays in the zone on Ladue's goal. Good call to play him and give him some PP time.

 

[Butch 19]

ya know what we need? some good 'ol puck luck ********!

srsly

 

[Little Psycho]

Cmon boys show up for the third and shut these pretenders up

 

[KingsFan7824]

Not one player has been able to do anything.

They're just hoping for a bad penalty by Vegas(like they got on the goal), or hoping for a mistake by Vegas, and hoping Quick saves every shot. That's all they have. They actually do have a bunch of hits this time, but like 98% are in the d-zone. Unless they have a switch that's going to click between periods, if they manage to walk out with a win playing like this, that'll be fairly crazy. It's 1-1, but they're not even in the game. You can only constantly play in your own zone so often before you're done. You can't have any energy left.

Can't get too nuts, because they are down 3 of their top 4/5 defensemen, but it's waiting for Vegas to score at this point. 5 periods and they've had nothing going.
