I do? I'm saying that the reason the scores have been as tight as they are is because Quick has been phenomenal...if not, VGK would be up by probably 5-6 more goals. I can't remember one time in this series that we've made Fleury really work.
Again, I go back to the first two games we played them...they absolutely came at us wave after wave...this is why they are where they are at. Sorry folks, Vegas is as VERY good team.

The officiating was atrocious all night long, both sides,
The slash on Marchessault, WTF was that, one of the weakest calls I've seen, the one on Phaneuf, that is a call you make in game 1 when everyone was scrumming it up, a day late and a dollar short to the party on that one, just...absolutely garbage last night, but, it was for both sides.
It read that way, Fleury has made his saves when he has had to, granted, not as often as Quick, but he still has saved their bacon, I don't see Vegas coming in wave after wave, after Karlsson line, Tuch line is, meh, it has its spurts, other than that, it's more energy and grind, than skill etc, not saying that isn't good, and they absolutely use everything to the fullest and their advantage, but they are a good team, not a very good one, imo, they are beatable if the offense shows up.

i'm just mad about how outrageously soft both of these penalties are
clifford has a stick between his legs, barely even touches fleury, doesn't effect play at all. karlsson creates the contact because he needs to slash quick after the whistle then lets his feet slip out from under him. why's he even skating at the net? but elbow kopi in the head behind the play? no big deal boys play on

Are you as equally upset with how soft the Marchessault penalty was?
Initially I was upset about the Clifford penalty, but there was separation and he made no effort to move,
I will give the Phaneuf one, that made no sense....

One thing I learned last night Fantenberg seems to be better equipped to play these faster skating teams.
People can talk about missing Forbort all they want, but lets be real, despite his alleged improved play, the guy really struggles against an aggressive forecheck.
Blake is working on trying to fix the team speed, gonna be a tall task, Toffolli is Luc kind of skating slow, he is over matched in this series.

Fantenberg was just excellent again. Major props.
I am still proud of the boys.
We can beat this Vegas team, yes we can.
This is now a mental thing. What I always did, just act like the series is still 0-0 and go from there.

Fantenberg has looked good the past two games, made some oh crap pinches, and got a beat, but all D do that and get beat etc, I don't know if you replace a Frolin with him, but you think about it

We went into the enemies building without our number 1, 2 and 3 defenseman in game two.
The boys played their hearts out an only lost by one goal. We lost to one of the better teams in the league during the regular season, the team that was built for the playoffs and backed by an incredible goalie. They have Depth and speed galore but they too have only scored 3 goals in 2 1/2 games.
Look at it the other way. How are they feeling knowing they can't score against an AHL defenseman? They also know that at least Drew is coming back and they're heading to the enemy building. I don't think Vegas will be celebrating too much yet.
I don't know why some people are ragging on Kopitar play last night. The guy played 40 minutes of hockey lugging The puck from one into the other. He had to be exhausted. No one trains for that type a marathon in the playoffs against a shutdown team like Vegas. We have some other guys that have been true ghosts out there like Toffoli, Reider, and both Carter and Lewis look like they are still recovering from injury.
Saying that though we are still in this and I believe we are going to crush them in our building.
This year was a true write off for me. It was very evident that Blake and company had to reshuffle this team and inject youth in which they did a very good job. It was very evident that the team could still also compete at the same time which we have. I am just going to enjoy how this year plays out and and very curious to see what Blake and Company are going to do in the off-season as I think they are going in the right direction and that we are only a few pieces short.

Oh, stop. The only reason these games have been close is because of Quick. That should be obvious to everyone.

Last time I checked Quick was still a player of the Kings.
I also believe if you play a 7 game series, that each outcome could be different.

Every team is beatable. That doesn’t make Vegas “phonies” who are only doing well because they’re scrappy tryhards. Frankly, that’s f***ing stupid, BK, and you’re the last person I would expect that from.
The Knights are not the Coyotes circa 2012. They’re a real team with real talent, including a Cup champion goaltender. Marchessault would be the Kings third if not second best forward. Vegas has a lot of f***ing talent, and they’re the best coached team in the league.
Some of you need to get real and take off the homer glasses. The Kings are getting their butts handed to them. It’s not because of reffing, or injuries, or anything else. It’s because Vegas has been better in every area besides between the pipes.

The Kings not being a very good team doesn't make Vegas great.
There was much Clase Azul to be had last night so I admit I was a bit over the top; however, I'm still not on board the Vegas train.

To summarize, Kings top six 0 goals, 0 assists. Kopitar looks gassed out there. Can't say as I blame him, as he is playing far too many minutes and has been all season. This off season when I once again suggest moving some of the vets while they still have some value, I hope people will stop with the usual hyperbole.

They literally bring everyone back next year sans Folin, Mitchell and Gravel.
Villardi will hopefully make the club. You need to move Muzzin, for some speed winger or picks and sign a guy like Grabner
Or you need to see what kind of winger Clague can bring.
I am also open to sending Toffoli out, think Flyers would send us back Konecny?

Why are you talking about homerism here.
Last time I have seen you post you were talking about the fact that LA is too banged up at the blueline. Vegas had 30 Doughty-less minutes to do whatever they want out there.
Well Doughty didnt even play last night, so make that 60. Heck, make it 95 !
Not once did you give any credit to Vegas. It was all injury riddled Kings, that was the deciding factor according to you.
Now you are calling people out like you knew it along.
Give me a ******* break.
Your delusional if you think not having Forbort or Muzzin doesn't help Vegas, having said that, they are a good team, but again, they are beatable if our offense shows up, it's pretty simple.

Disagree about moving Muzzin, let's assume that Folin and Gravel don't come back, thats one hole you need to fill on D, we have LaDue and Brickley to choose from right now barring any FA etc, let's say Brickley gets it, La Due is 7th, you move Muzzin, you have to slot LaDue in, doesn't make sense YET. If you bring back Frolin, then I think you can make that move etc.

Fantenberg played 41:03 last night, second most of all players, except Martinez, who played 44. Intersting to note Toffoli only had 19:56, which was about 8-10 mins less than: Carter, Pearson and Lewis! ...even Rieder had 23 mins. Makes you wonder if TT is 100% healthy. Kempe only had 18:02 and needs more time out there.
I think team speed is being addressed with adding Iafallo and Rieder and the recent drafts, with Clague and JAD. Fantenberg is not signed beyond this year and pretty sure Gravel will not be back. I was biting nails, every time he was out there. Wouldn't mind seeing Fantenberg getting another contract, but I am sure he may have better options. Would not be shocked to see Clague make the team.

I agree, I thought Kempe looked ok. It was such a relief to see a fast Kings player.
Problem is, Stevens doesnt trust him defensively.

Toffoli didn't deserve the minutes he got. Downright putrid. Really hard to watch how far he's fallen off a cliff.
I feel bad for Gravel. Clearly overmatched and didn't belong in the game, but that's why he was not playing. Tough to come in cold after sitting on ass for months and be effective.
