***R1 GAME 3 Colorado Avalanche vs. Los Angeles Kings GDT 4/23/26 7:00pm on TNT,

[Statue4Deano]

Kings are a step faster tonight but Wedgwood just looks unbeatable.

 

[Ice Rhino]

We're not being doubled up in shots currently, so that's a positive.

 

[ICE24]

Has there been a team in NHL playoffs that did not score a 5 on 5 goal in a series?

 

[King of Pentacle5]

Kings have negative breakout skills.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Kuz, don't pass it in that situation. Either shoot or keep the puck and find a better position to either pass or shoot it.

 

[Liz4LA]

Come on Kings!!!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Good, a Kings' PP.

 

[ICE24]

OK for all Panarin lovers, this is his time to shine.

 

[Rogie-Vachon]

4 CO goals have been on the fluke side this series.

 

[Ice Rhino]

Panera Bread commercial just popped up in the break before the power play. It's a sign.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

4 CO goals have been on the fluke side this series.

Actually, that first Avs goal tonight was a true fluke goal. The rest were legit, mainly from defensive lapses by the Kings.

 

[Liz4LA]

Kings need to elevate the puck on Wedgewood.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Man, the Kings still suck on the PP, even with Panarin. Yes, Panarin had a PP goal the other game, but everything else, ehh.

 

[admorrow]

I was about to say no one fears our power play, but I realized it's me. I do.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

And now a Kings' PK. Yeah, we needed that one. Thanks, QB.

 

[HiFi]

My son, who’s still learning the game, said, “That’s a good name. Byfield. ‘Cause he just left the field.”

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Well, 1st period is over. Other than that Avs fluke goal, the Kings for the most part are containing the Avs.

 

[Statue4Deano]

That was the first period of the series where the Kings carried play for the majority of the 20 minutes. Avs gave minimum effort and still lead 1-0.

 

[Halfwall]

Don't forget that Colorado has the number 1 PK.

 

[Locker Room Beers]

I wonder how much better the young kids would be if Hiller was canned earlier and they got more games and ice time with Smith. Would the bottom six have a bit more scoring or are what we’re seeing just who they are?
