That was NOT a fun game tonite.
Gutcheck - how? Swayman was really good and Kings hit a couple posts.This was a gutcheck game for the Kings and they really came apart at the seams. Still early in the season but it’ll be interesting to see how they respond to this effort.
Bruins are one the elite teams in the East. They’re big, physical and fast. The frustration of dominating play for 20 minutes and being down 1. The PP going 0-fer. The Bruins getting two lucky bounce goals. All of that creates as much of a gutcheck moment as possible this early in the season. The Kings effort waned halfway through the 3rd. That needs to be cleaned up.Gutcheck - how? Swayman was really good and Kings hit a couple posts.
End result sucked but that was a exciting, competitive matchup for 2.5 periods.That was NOT a fun game tonite.
"Bruins are one the elite teams in the East". You lost me there....Please explain your wrong statement
All true but that’s also just hockey. Not to be too semantic but I question calling it a “gutcheck” vs. just a plain old loss. They outshot the Bruins and had lots of grade A chances. Kempe stopped early on gave this game that ominous feel that ended up bearing out.Bruins are one the elite teams in the East. They’re big, physical and fast.

Agree. Kings are supposed to have excellent top end talent. The star players were invisible tonight. The Kings didn't do anything on a 5-on-3 or the other PP. Well except for the one where Todd put out the 4th line and they actually scored. Our best players were not our best players and we took the L. Marchand, Pasta, McAvoy+Forbort, and Zacha were +2. Kopi, Kempe, Dewey, Mikey were -2 or worse.Swayman did not steal that game.
The Bruins wore the Kings down on two of those goals, by just outplaying them and tiring them out. This was a good test and the Kings failed, at home. No more excuses for a team that is supposed to take the next step. Where’s the Tylenol
