Are you kidding me, Reinhart? You were all alone on that breakaway chance and you whiff on that shot attempt?

 

[JC6388LAKings]

What is up with the ice at Rogers Place? For a modern ice hockey arena in a northernly location like Deadmonton, that's just another source of embarassment and derision for that city.

And this game is now going to 2OT. Neither team's goalie has cracked yet. For goodness sake, Florida, finish the job and stop making us Kings fans get all on edge with your performance.

Here we go, 2OT of Game 2 is now underway.

The Rat/Nose Face Killa Marchand scores in 2OT!! The series is tied now! Suck it, Deadmonton!!

At least Marchand shows up in critical games like this. Sadly, the same cannot be said of his teammate Tkachuk.

Eat that Soilers!!!!

I was just going to point out ice times hugely favored Panthers. Marchand with just 21 minutes.

That'll shut up Edmonton fans for the night.

Good night y'all!

Marchand is playing better than their franchise Tkachuk.i would not be surprised if Florida could try to trade him

Sign his Majesty to a contract in the offseason, Holland.

I’ve heard lots of grief thrown at Tkachuk during the playoffs, but I’m pretty sure the guy is playing with half a groin right now. The injury sustained at the 4 nations tournament probably should have ended his season, no?

Marchand 17 (7 + 10) points in 19 games in the playoffs + /-14 ,today he is + 3

Yep. He was a beast last season, but he's been a shadow of himself since he came back from injury

Edge data shows Tkachuk is literally the slowest player in the entire playoffs. He’s broken but playing through it.

Bless his black heart

 

[What party?]

Ooo, a bit of a barn burner (fire!)last night ending on opposing rats trading goals for the double OT win. Amazing. Caught myself joyfully cheering Perry on that third period goal to send them to overtime and then felt dirty, Oilers dirty.

Reading through the thread and everyone's assessment of Florida is pretty spot on. JC holding it down, again last night, nice job. Glad you guys had fun. Okay, I will see all you Latin mamitas and papi chulos on Monday in Flor-i-da! Where I predict: There will be blood.

17 points in 19 games.. I’d say he’s definitely playing through it. I know he gets tons of hate around here because of the beef with Doughty, but this guy just wants to win at all costs. Actual talent aside, that type of attitude is absolutely the sort of spirit the Kings sorely missed these past 4 playoffs.
