Kings suck against teams that fore check heavy. Really exposes the lack of talent on the back-end that can move the puck.

Forbort / MacD/Muzzin

Also, the Devils are extremely lucky with the bounces they're getting.

Last year's team this game would be over, but I don't think all is lost yet. Gotta tighten up, get some saves from Quick and hope the bounces start going the other way.

If the Hurricanes can come back to tie it, no reason LA can't.

I doubt the Devils can keep this up, one goal in the second, another in the third. We're in this. I've seen teams like this before. Let's see how the Devils do once they naturally take their foot off the gas, and the Kings pour on.

Let’s all take a deep breath. Plenty of time for the Kings to come back. Kings 1st periods are hit or miss. Not saying they’re going to win, but.. let’s see if they can turn it around.

Only doughty and Martinez to some extent can consistently move the puck up. The other 4 is like betting on green on a roulette table...

The entire team must have gotten the flu. Sluggish start.

I'm trying not to play Dr. from 3 timezones away but that was my thought as soon as I heard Kempe was sick :laugh:

Lotta guys look sloppy and not so much in a puck-fumbly way as in a weak-legs sort of way.

No excuses though because that was one of the worst periods I've seen us open with all year.

The Devils can't match our talent. Kings need to just be better and the Devils naturally back off as well, Kings can easily win this game.

While the Devils forecheck is impressive, their puck luck is what's putting them ahead right now. A lot of bizarre bounces. Poor ice as well.
