Should have had the galaxy out there for that kick in goal. May this loss p*ss us off to the point where we get our edge back f the Oilers and mcprincess

His stick hit the puck after the kick nevermind Jim blabbering about it nonstop since.

Just fully ruined my day

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Honestly hope he is unloaded in the summer. But Hiller deserves this L. Boys did fantastic after 10 min in the first.

Hiller did not coach a good game. He made a lot of mistakes tonight

 

[Sevenhole]

Just take the 4 to 4 tie and play your game and you win this game. The video guys that had some great calls recently really effed that one up.

 

[Pevsfreedom]

Worst game by a lot of Kings - Kuzmenko, Laffy, Kopitar, and Doughty - the last 2 being the worst.

 

[Halfwall]

I don't see how they recover from this. The oilers will be sky high on Sunday.

 

[Statue4Deano]

I just can’t get over how stupid that challenge was by Hiller. The Kings had 5+ minutes to look at that replay because of the Toronto review and still he ****ed it up.

 

[Liz4LA]

Maybe Hiller made that call because the guys on ice said it was interference. That's all I got as to why challenge such a non-call.

Eh - same way Oilers recover after losing in LA. One game at a time. I hope a lot of them learned something from this game - esp. Hiller and his strategy on the road. The sweep jitters are gone so go play some hockey for 60 maybe.

He does not watch the video or make the call. He goes with what the video coaches say. You are right though, really stupid call to challenge that.

Don't get overly emotional

 

[Bill Hicks]

Kuemper deserved better.

He has to play better, point blank. His #s are garbage.

As much as I'm angry at Hiller for unwisely challenging the goal, I'm more angry at the Kane goal itself since there was indeed a distinct kicking motion of the puck from him. If it was done by a player on the defending team, then yes, it will count as a goal but as an embarrassing own goal and I can understand that. But the puck wasn't touched by a Kings player when it went into the Kings net as Kane clearly used his own skate to kick the puck in and it still should not count even if it was incidental. How the refs decided to award a goal on that just screams conspiracy.

Seriously we need 6 a game and a 50% power play OR some goaltending/defense - a mix of those two is preferred. He made a few big saves this one at least.

 

[Statue4Deano]

If that’s the case the video review team should do us all a favor and take the next game off.

It bottles the mind how anyone would decide to call that though I will not blame the game on it.

 

[Ice Rhino]

I must be watching a different game.

 

[VF]

I hope Hiller has a really rough presser, cause he deserves it.

 

[Sevenhole]

Bottom line get better in the third period

Had the goal gone straight in on the kick, it definitely would have been disallowed. The thing that surprises me is that they actually allow players to kick at pucks in the crease at all due to safety reasons. Which is why the rule exists in the first place.
