We're doing a good job of playing through it. Which is the right way to approach it
without Jeannot.
Which goals are you blaming on him? Over a 3 game set you're going to have big discrepancies, just like you show. I'd like to see some additional stats such as goals saved above expected. I see him making the saves he needs to make, plus several absolute bangers.

And he deserves that! Both for the stupid challenge (although the blame also falls on the video crew) but also for thinking that rolling 3 lines will work in a long and extremely physical series like this!
Especially when both Helenius and Malott are playing pretty good when they are allowed to touch the ice…

It's simple, Hiller wanted to prove that a soon to be 38 year old Kopitar can proficiently play more minutes than a prime GOAT Conner McDavid.

Just looked this up:
Kopitar played 22:11 tonight. He played 22+ minutes just 4x in the entirety of the regular season. Game 1 21:29, Game 2 20:37.
Hiller is riding Kopi until the tires are bald.

Loved the stellar defending by 84&44 on the 5th goal...

Didn't the McSorley stick issue happen in Game 2?

That is a recipe for disaster…

I don't understand why we turtled in the third either. Spelled disaster in game 1 and cost us game 3. Such is life, moving on to game 4. Kings will split in Edmonton and take the series at home. That's 100%

It’s very annoying because Lewis and Malott were perfectly fine in their extremely limited shifts tonight.
Also Doughty and Anderson should not be playing 27 & 26 minutes per night.

So many clearing chances missed by kopi in the third

My exact thoughts. Like going to mommy after Dad said no, now we get grounded!

And there the 2 big bodies we need on the ice when guys like nurse is out there running over our guys especially byfieldAnd he deserves that!

Rog or Reg?

Okay, well reality is not always a pretty thing, but it is what it is. Worst case scenario, we come back to LA tied up 2-2.
Once again, it could be far worse than that. Factoring in all possible scenarios before the series started, we could potentially have been looking at being swept Sunday and fighting for our first win.
instead we're looking at the possibility of going up 3-1 in the series.
So the glass is still more than half full, and we need to remain positive and optimistic.
I still say Kings in 6.

Exactly!! I just don’t get this since the huge amount of bs moves from scumbags like Kane, Perry and Nurse makes it a no-brainer to play Helenius and Malott!!
