WCQF Game 2: Los Angeles Kings (WC1) vs Vegas Golden Knights (1) | 7:00 PT |ATTSN, NBCSN, CBC, TVA

Gotta disagree. I think he's upper tier.

Chicken Parm was best on NHL2Night with Bucci

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Knew it was a matter of time for awhile. I don't even know if LA established possession in the offensive zone that whole second OT.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

Vegas needs double overtime to beat a Doughty-less Kings team also missing two more of its top 4 defensemen?

Quick was spectacular tonight.

Right... but that game is also a blowout without Quick being absolutely fantastic.

 

[Porkleaker]

Vegas is dominating more than any team in the playoffs along with the jets. Quick is making this series not a blowout.

you must've missed the Jets game lol they dominated tonight.

 

[ZzZz]

Its really just the forecheck of Vegas that makes it so hard for other teams to break out of their own end. There is always some one moving towards the puck.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

30 shots against in a double OT game. Knights are ridiculously good.

Or Kings is bad.

 

[HanSolo]

Great display of hockey. Even after two OTs, VGK are faster than most teams. I’m on the bandwagon. Can’t give McPhee enough credit, he plucked a lot of talent buried in other organizations.

LA doesn’t have the speed or pace to win this series.

This goes back to something I said all year but nobody really gave much notice to.

Whoever is in charge of Vegas' conditioning needs to get a huge amount of credit. Not only are Vegas fast, but they can stay fast for a long time. They remained the faster team through nearly 100 minutes of hockey.

 

[JeremyTB]

Kings only getting 30 shots on net in nearly 5 periods lol.

 

[SlimCharles]

Missing Doughty, Muzzin and Forbort, just in case anyone forgot. But yeah, LOL Kings.

 

[EichHart]

you must've missed the Jets game lol they dominated tonight.

That’s why I said both teams are dominating

 

[Bounces R Way]

Cinderella season doesn't even do it justice. Pretty glad the NHL decided to go with Vegas over Quebec City honestly. In that town if you want to put on a show you'd better come correct.

 

[SFKingshomer]

people are underestimating the effect a clean breakout has on an offense.

 

[Porkleaker]

That’s why I said both teams are dominating

Whoops, missed that...It's late, I have a cold and I'm exhausted lol

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Yep it will be Preds - Knights, and it's going to be fantastic

I’d cool your Jets on that one

 

[Frosty415]

Don't forget the Kings have came back from a 3-0 deficit.

I remember.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

LA was lucky to even have a chance of winning. When Quick is on his game he is one if not the best goalie in the NHL

 

[Hostile Offer]

Honestly I think it was survival mode 99% of the game for LA

Kings only hope is to bounce back at home and hope Quick can steal Game 5 at T-Mobile, but the forwards have to show up.

Only saw the OT so can't really comment on the rest of the game but it sure was all Vegas in there. The Kings looked like they were skating in quicksand.

 

[HanSolo]

Knew it was a matter of time for awhile. I don't even know if LA established possession in the offensive zone that whole second OT.

But...Vegas is a

A quick strike offence that has no puck possession

 

[aufheben]

Lol what game were you watching

Probably just meant Vegas, the sames are easy to mix up.

He wouldnt be so bad if he didnt talk to much. He interupts the PBP too much

Lol thank you. Like, damn dude catch your breath.

 

[Lolonegoal]

Vegas needs double overtime to beat a Doughty-less Kings team also missing two more of its top 4 defensemen?

Quick was spectacular tonight.

yeah, pathetic franchise took 82 games before they even make to the first playoff series! I bet they can't even sweep this team of multi-cup winners.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Who was that on left defense for LA? Major screw-up.

Well maybe not. Winger could have picked the guy off too.

Our f***ing #9 d-man.

Missing Doughty, Muzzin and Forbort, just in case anyone forgot. But yeah, LOL Kings.

Yep. Take that performance from Quick, add Doughty and Muzzin and home ice. I guarantee not 5 posters loling in this thread have even heard of the dude who logged the 2nd most ice time in the game.

Looking forward to Game 3.

 

[fsanford]

The Kings have experience in rallying down 0-2, but Vegas seems different compared to the 2013 Blues/2014 Sharks

Sharks were putting much worse whippings on the Kings in 2014 first 2 games, 7-2 and 6-3 and people were saying the same thing Kings did not belong on the ice with them.

Not same Kings team though, but until LA loses at home, series has not yet started. At least Doughty will be rested.

 

[seroes]

Maybe quick steals one at home but the king's just look outclassed in every other way. This series is just about over.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

Don't forget the Kings have came back from a 3-0 deficit.

I remember.

Everything is possible... but the first two games i think LA was npt good. Vegas always keep the gas pedal for high speed.. and they have Fleury

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Only saw the OT so can't really comment on the rest of the game but it sure was all Vegas in there. The Kings looked like they were skating in quicksand.

It got really bad at the end but Vegas was in control the majority of the game, I can probably count on one hand how many sustained shifts the Kings had in the offensive zone all 5 periods combine don’t
