Feel good I can complain about this after a win--why on earth did Leddy try to play dump and chase during the 3-on-3????

They were really sleepwalking for most of that OT, thankfully for us it's such a coin flip.

I agree. I was dumbfounded at that play. Until Ebs scored, the Isles were in a surreal fog.

Deserved that goal.

They battled hard to score in that 3rd. Thought LA was locking them down as good as we’ve seen. Maybe fatigue played a role.

Loved that barzy to ebs play. Perfect pass and perfect shot. I hope barzy can battle through the tight checking; overall he’s been as close to shutdown as we’ve seen.

Beautiful goal by Lee. Absolutely gifted hands.

JT came on nicely.

D played well.

Greiss was solid, thought the first goal was stoppable.

Hope they can build off if this.

What happened to de Haan? He got hurt? Just heard it on the post game.
Upper body on last play of the game, right before the goal. Didn't see what happened but from his reaction -- went straight to the dressing room while everyone else was celebrating --it didn't look good. We'll see.

Our goaltending has been bad but gotta give Greiss credit for coming up huge in OT to stone Kopitar on that breakaway

Is it just me or could the Kings have played the entire 3rd period down a man? Once they got tired in the 3rd and the Isles started working them, they just started cross checking guys from behind left and right.

Anyone else really finding Brendan Burke growing on them? Not that I ever disliked him - I thought he'd been terrific since day 1, but he really sounds so enthused about the team now and it's infectious.

This was a great win, down 2-0 and come back and then win in OT, very strong game on D for Pulock continues to impress, 1st line was dangerous as always.

Bernier was what we needed, a low error guy, with higher energy that probably won't contribute much to the scoresheet. We should Beau down, he needs to play more, this is going to hurt him more than help him. Acquire Maroon and the bottom will be a proper bottom 6, even with Lady Jane.

Greiss was good tonight, Kings were tired but still we managed to win the game.

Grown on me for sure, took a bit, only because of habit, and habit is Howie Rose... probably takes about 100 games for that announcer to feel like the hometown announcer

Jt looks back in form. Idk what switch he flipped but he’s been dominant the past 2 games not just quietly racking up points like most games. If he keeps this up that line is probably the best in the nhl. Also liked bernier. Thought he gave us some stability in the bottom 6. Calling him up was a good move. Hopefully ho sang is ready to work hard

I second this. A lot of uncalled holds.

I don't think JHS is not working hard. He needs some more seasoning in terms of being in control on the ice. He needs to almost slow down his game a step, look for the better pass, play better positionally, work on overall decision-making.

I saw the replay on NHL Network right before Eberle's OT winner. Damn, I hope he's ok. He's been a really underrated rock on the blue line, we need him.

I don't think anyone has made this connection. The game turned around because of Clutterbuck. He oversold that elbowing call on Muzzin and if you look at the replay, Muzzing just gave him a hit to the upper part of his chest. Never touched his face at all.

After that, we had the upper hand.

poorly worded on my end. Meant ready to work hard in terms of learning what he needs to do. Wasn’t implying he’s not trying out there

Yeah, and the Kings deserved it anyway. They could have had at least 5 additional penalties called on them in the 3rd period alone.

That and the fight even if it was a draw, so Chimera did something good

Yes, i agree on that too. Chimera needed to get himself and the team going and I think that helped as well.
