Sure hope we see Kuzmenko in and Joseph out for Game 2. The skill deficit is far too big to keep a healthy Kuzmenko off the ice.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Kings too sloppy and tentative...on our heels...gotta start playing more aggressive... hopefully it's not too late.

Malott giveaway ends up in the net. What a surprise!

The Kings were pinned in their zone and Smith puts out the 4th line. It felt like a given that we'd give up a goal

 

[KHenry14]

Outclassed in every way.

 

[Halfwall]

What Would Hiller Do?

Dust off Todd's 1-3-1.

Doesn’t help that there’s 4 dmen on the roster who can’t exit their zone cleanly. The terrible blue line construction is really shining bright in this 3rd period.

 

[ICE24]

Series over.

To be fair it was over when the playoffs were decided. Let's not forget who the Kings are playing, the #1 team in the NHL. It was just a matter of time when they would make the Kings pay for their mistakes. The Kings have zero offense.

 

[admorrow]

Kings playing to get to OT, not realizing they're down 2 goals to 0.

 

[VCRW]

I just hope it gets no worse than 2-0… yeah… I know…

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Okay, LA is now back on the PP for the third time.

 

[jammer06]

That should have been kneeing, especially since landeskog very much knows better

 

[ICE24]

To be down by two with 11:00 to play, not one of us thought the game would be like this.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Now it's 0 for 3 for LA. So much for that one.

 

[johnbajuice]

Behold, the powerless play!

 

[Nyssa42]

At least some good chances on that PP

 

[jammer06]

At least some good chances on that PP

Juvenile me is making juvenile jokes

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Oh boy. Dodgers bullpen just imploded. Kings failed on the power play.

And this sports bar in Big Bear is all Denver.

 

[King of Pentacle5]

What Would Hiller Do?

Coach’s challenge

 

[Statue4Deano]

The Kings have to make a statement to finish out this game if they want any chance at winning this series. Not saying they need to win this one but they need significant pushback at the very least.
