That goal killed the momentum Kings created.

The 2nd Avs goal flipped the game on its head. Now the Avs are dominating every shift. Kings will be lucky to get out of this period down 1.

 

[Guinevere]

I just got caught up from my recorded game. Damn, I want the Kings to win one so bad. They have so much more passion, grit, and heart. On both sides the goalies have been phenomenal.

 

[Sevenhole]

I seriously hoped after two close games in Colorado that how horribly the Kings play at home. This wasn’t gonna be a blowout. Still to be seen. Forsberg has certainly made up for his error in the first and keeping us in the game.

 

[ICE24]

Eventually Colorado will find their game. As we see this period, their speed is taking over. We knew it would happen, just not in the 3rd game.

Every time I see Ceci give up possession by missing an open pass, or fall down in the defensive zone I remind myself he's being paid 4 million dollars.

Watching Dumo cough up the puck multiple times every game when checked on the boards is also annoying.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Edmundson flubbing that one-timer is the perfect example of why the blue line needs a massive overhaul.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

A great effort for the Kings at the end of the 2nd period, but the Avs have the lead at 2-1. Edmundson's hands are even stonier than Lewis, flubbing that one-timer on that pass from Juice; more like concrete.

 

[LUUUUC!]

Kings just not good enough, holding my thoughts until Sunday, sad to say goodbye and see you all next year

 

[Tiranga]

Im wondering if Fiala would have made a difference in this series.. ofcourse with Panarin as well.

Was going to write the exact same comment. Big slow and inaccurate doesn’t work on the back line anymore. And if the front office think so we all agree that they need to go to

 

[LUUUUC!]

I'm focusing on finding peace as long as Oilers and Ducks don't get too far

 

[Liz4LA]

I feel like the Kings have to work three times more than the Avs. Qs line has woken up. They can be the difference makers in the third.

I know it pains me to say this but I want the Quacks to knock off the Coilers in the 1st round. Then I (we) can go back to hating the Quacks.

 

[ICE24]

In order to compete with the top echelon teams in the NHL, the Kings will need at least 4 new defensemen. That is going to take years.

In this series, the defense is not costing the Kings wins. It's the top two lines. 3 goals and only one at even strength is the reason the Kings have lost each game. Defensively they are doing everything to stop this high powered offense.

 

[Bill Hicks]

Im wondering if Fiala would have made a difference in this series.. ofcourse with Panarin as well.

I think yes,, but to what degree?
Not until style of play changes org wide.
They are just starting to shed the Todd/Hiller/Luc way to play. Takes time.
Spence sure woulda fit in DJ's style.
f***in Hiller.

Fire Luc.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Kings look pretty good, but I have to hear the stupid b*tch scream "Shoot the f*cking puck" one more time, I'm sitting somewhere else.
It doesn't matter who has the puck, the Avalanche, the Kings, or our goalie, she's still screams "Shoot the f*cking puck"
My right ear will never be the sam

I agree. At the moment I hate the Oilers more!

I think I’ve accepted it once I knew we had the Avs. I always am optimistic until they lose. Our team has holes, not enough offense, and a system for 5 years now that is not working. It works could enough to keep the goals out but sacrifices scoring in the process. I’m already looking into next season 11 million cap space gets freed up. But, we still can win. I never say never….
