indeed

 

[sufferer]

Hasek never even had a 44 save shutout with the Sabres?

Those teams could play defense.

 

[Chainshot]

Many goats were lent in LA tonight. Many.

 

[Djp]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[valet]

remember last year when all Phil talked about in his post game press conferences was 'the details'. lol, what was he even talking about?

 

[jd1970]

Play this way against Toronto and see what happens

 

[buffalojedwardo]

Lol I’d be so mad if I was a Kings fan

Please shake up the top 6. There’s not enough getting generated at 5 on 5. Yes I know they were tired but it’s been a trend all year.

At least they get some rest now

I think it was a good bounce back game where we won in different ways than the rest of the year. Nice to see other players contributing. Let them gel.

Cant wait to play them.

Except for that 70-save one in the playoffs in an elimination game

 

[Buffaloed]

Yeah, the 3rd period was much better than the 2nd. I didn't feel like the Kings got that many chances, despite all the shots. Good game.

True, but when there's that many pucks on the net, bad bounces, deflections, poor angle coverage etc. can happen and often does.

If by “different way” you mean LA Kings hitting posts and having no finish I guess yeah

I just want to forget about this game except for Mittelstadt’s performance lmao

[sabremike]

indeed

Tre White > Mitch Korn

 

[valet]

92 shot attempts from la. Why don't they score? It's cause they suck

 

[Derg12]

70 saves against Jersey 4/27/94 in the playoffs.

 

[Buffaloed]

I maintain... the Sabres are so much better at home it’s almost weird

I blame Dunleavy

 

[Montag DP]

True, but when there's that many pucks on the net, bad bounces, deflections, poor angle coverage etc. can happen and often does.

Considering the circumstances (3-0 lead on second game of a West coast b2b), I'll take it.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

I'm totally writing off the 3rd period. This is their 3rd game in 4 days, including a 3 time zone cross country flight, against a more rested team in their barn. They did just enough to make sure that their early lead stood, and that's good enough for me.

The first two periods leave quite a bit to work on though.

 

[TheStorm]

Very happy for Mitts. Hope this jumpstarts a long point streak.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Many goats were lent in LA tonight. Many.

That name isn't one I want to hear....

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Be careful, last time this team was in first...

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

I think the physicality of last night’s game was apparent in the last half of the game. These guys were gassed. San Jose is gonna be rough.

 

[Chainshot]

That name isn't one I want to hear....

They had to. They talked all about Jimmy earlier. Now they have to mention Johnson.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Many goats were lent in LA tonight. Many.

There are other games than these...S.K.

 

[darcyRegier]

70 saves against Jersey 4/27/94 in the playoffs.

Gotcha, maybe that stat is just regular season then?
