Radio says Mikey is out for game

TV catches up. Upper body injury and will not return

13:53 left in 2nd
KINGS have 4 SOG

 

[VCRW]

Kings have no SOGs in this period. So much PP time granted to the Canes by these oh-so-generous refs.

 

[DarkLeftHand]

Yep. Good to see him drop the mitts. Announcers seemed clueless why he was fighting Martinook.

The new PBP guy often seems oblivious to nuance like this. I’m fairly sure he’s just a place holder, and I won’t be terribly distressed when he’s replaced.

The call on Joel was crap but Perry totally started a fight that Martinook wanted no part of. Perry was chirping both Staal and Martinook. Obviously Perry knew Mikey was not going to return.

 

[Liz4LA]

This game is not what I expected.

 

[VCRW]

Fiala never learns. Always the dumb play at the offensive blue line. I am so over that guy.

Martinook is fortunate that ‘the code’ insists a skill player like Perry must do the deed, rather than a guy like Malott compelling him to pay up.

For about every tenth time every game.

The Kings need offense , therefore Fiala despite blemishes and more mistakes lately is vital for the Klingons

The refs are horrible worst refs of season

 

[VCRW]

Last 3 games it’s been pretty apparent on both offense and defense that Kempe is actually centering the 14-9-10 line. Majority of faceoffs. Playing in the center position in the D-zone. Laffy it appears is a CINO.

 

[Liz4LA]

Nice play Armia.

 

[VCRW]

That was, of course, Fiala who just handed the Canes a 2 on 0. Dude is brain dead.

 

[Rogie-Vachon]

Aton pulled a Quicky - Cover? Nah. Clear? Whoops...SAVE!

Crazy sequence

 

[hokiecat]

Forsberg channeling Quick there. Great saves and bad decisions handling the puck.

 

[Rogie-Vachon]

Back to back game thoughts:

Goalies rarely go back to back...
If the Kings have "healthy scratches"
like Fogs & Mov...why not use fresh legs?

 

[Liz4LA]

Just 8 shots Kings. That's not going to cut it.

Coaches love to reward the skaters that won the last game.

It wasn't. Idk what game you're watching.

It was Dumoulin with the back to back turnovers and Clarke diving back because our defensive defenseman could not get the puck in deep for a change.
