Benoit probably shouldn’t have agreed to that fight. Ouch.

Any goalies on here - how easy is it really for a player to push your pad with a stick? To me it looked like Jones just wasn’t set. Pushing a heavily padded human leg with a stick sounds to me like it would take a lot more force than that, but I don’t have any experience to confirm that.

Pushing a pad is pushing a pad and not shooting the puck. I saw it as a good but unfortunate call

All the sudden what were penalties in the first and second....are not in the third.

 

[TooCool]

82 game season. You're bound to have some stinkers. It does suck though seeing the Oilers in our rear view mirror and the Kings are taking this time to look like crap.

 

[Statue4Deano]

For some unknown reason this team thinks they can coast for 20 minutes a game and then try to play hard enough to win in the other 40. Not good.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Are you kidding me? You call a penalty on PLD for a phantom tripping call?

Simple enough. Thanks for that.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Well, at least LA has killed 3 penalties this game. But man, is Toronto clamping it down and making this game a snoozefest.

 

[Sevenhole]

If the kings could only take the energy of their PK to their offense

 

[Sevenhole]

Fiala has broken three sticks on shots tonight

 

[hornman]

I’m sorry. PLD is a doofus.

 

[Nyssa42]

The play where Kempe mishandled the puck and then slammed his stick into the boards pretty much sums up this game

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Great. Another Kings penalty. This game's good as over. LA has no answer this whole game. Just absolutely pathetic.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

The play where Kempe mishandled the puck and then slammed his stick into the boards pretty much sums up this game

That was LOUD!

 

[hornman]

That was LOUD!

I heard that all the way from Long Beach…

 

[Nyssa42]

The chrome dome magic has worn off

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Well, there goes Toronto's PP. Now it's 4-on-4.

 

[Sevenhole]

Just look at all the shots on Jones… everything in his pads not sure the Kings have an actual scoring opportunity

 

[Nyssa42]

Jones goalie goal incoming

 

[JC6388LAKings]

ENG for Toronto. That's the dagger. The Kings got caught napping the whole game and it's just inexcusable.
