On how he felt the Kings responded to some of the bad habits he mentioned on Monday
I thought that the first period we were pretty solid. I think we lost a 60-minute game in 20 minutes, that was in the second period and it was mostly self-inflicted. We turned the puck over, we took penalties, and they made us pay. I think the special teams ended up being a wash, but that period led to some frustration and like I said, it was self-inflicted on our part. We didn’t value the end boards and it triggered their transition game and penalties got us into trouble. That one at the end, we won the faceoff, but we got outbattled in the corner.
On if there was one moment in the second period that swung the momentum
I think you get out of the second period tied, as opposed to giving up the goal late……you give up one early, that happens sometimes, they scored a minute into the second and then with 30 seconds left in the second. We’ve got to get out of that tied to have a chance to reset and come out for the third in a tie game, as opposed to down one.
On Kaliyev’s game tonight and the evolution of his overall game
I’ve seen lots of progression in Arty’s game. He’s going to have nights where it’s not going his way, he’s a young man, he’s finding his way in the league. I think those two shots were a pretty good illustration of what his gifts are, and then he had the third one there at the end and their goalie made a really good save. That’s what Arty does. Trying to get his game so that it is a 200-foot game, so there are other elements he needs to bring and he’s worked on it, he’s getting better with it. When he does get those opportunities to shoot, like he did tonight, it shows what a gift he has.
On how he felt the Kings responded to some of the bad habits he mentioned on Monday
I think in the third period, they checked pretty well, but it was the second period that a lot of their momentum came off of the power play and turnovers. That allows their D to get involved and we spent a lot more time in our zone. When that happens, shift length gets longer, with the penalties we didn’t get enough guys in the game who are sitting, so you’re losing momentum all the time. Like I said, if we could have gotten out of that period tied, it would be a 20-minute game and anything can happen. It wasn’t horrible, it was that one period wasn’t up to our standards.

Tonight’s Poll Question:
Doing a 2-Parter tonight. Sunday/Monday will be a 2-Game question so be sure to guess - it’s a 10am game on Sunday. I’ll try to get the GDT up on Saturday night at a reasonable hour.
Part 1 -The Kings are 1st in the league in Shots Against, and the BJs are last. How many TOTAL SHOTS will there be in tonight’s game?
One Guess Only for Part 1
+/- 3 = 1 point, +/- 1 = 2 points, dead on = 3 points
Part 2 - The Blue Jackets are also 31st in Goals Against per Game. What will be the GOAL DIFFERENTIAL for tonight’s game?
You can take 2 guesses for Part 2. Only exactly correct guesses will get a point.
Take your best guesses in your post below.
The only prize is the glory of seeing your name in the next GDT if you get it right.
