#58 KINGS v. BLACKHAWKS - 2/3/14, lose 5-3 ... but show heart, so there's that.

[Herby]

Chicago had lost 5 out of 6 coming into this game, including losses to Calgary, Minnesota, Winnipeg and Detroit.

They weren't playing well, and they aren't even as good as last years team.

 

[Little Psycho]

5-15-2 in 22 games. At least it looks like they finally woke up.

 

[Riposte!]

You know what the Kings need? The Monstars from Space Jam.

 

[damacles1156]

Columbus is up next, i'm actually worried that we won't beat them either.

If the Kings play like they did the second period for a full 60, they can beat Columbus.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Did anyone see The Royal Half's tweet about a fan in a Red Wings jersey fought both Kings and Blackhawk fans?

At least one good thing came out of the loss

5-15-2 in 22 games.

Painful to read.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Richards line looked more inspired but is trying to do too much. Get used to it...he is here to stay.

The defense might not be as good , and Crawford is a little leaky ..

But this Hawks team scores at will. You have to play a perfect game on defense to keep this Hawks team off the board.

F the moral victory.

Can't remember what a win feels like.

PP still sucks and the kings take too many penalties.

Why does Chicago make Quick look like Cloutier?

Richards Brown and Williams need to be separated.

Kings will not beat Chicago in a seven game series in the next two or three years.

It's our defense that does that. Quick can only do so much, especially when the Kings allow so many out numbered attacks. Voynov loses his mind every time he faces the hawks.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

...lol Really?

That would be a sight to see lol

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Seriously, this was our best game in weeks. If that doesn't spark something, nothing will.

And Vancouver and San Jose both lost again, so all is not lost.

 

[Chain]

There is no comparison.

I was going to have to pay $125 for standing room tickets to see the Kings in Chicago in December. For $125 I could get 3rd row from the ice, center ice for the Kings next game. Those same tickets would be $400 a ticket at United Center, hockey is insanely hot in Chicago right now. Like Lakers basketball used to be in LA. Ask whiskeypete, he can back me up on this one.

Not to mention that, for many people, Chicago probably isn't as attractive a place to visit in winter as LA is.

I agree about trading Richards. I don't see it happening though.

At least Kopi/Carter/TT is a silver lining. The performance tonight was better than most in recent games. I don't feel as bad about it as their other recent losses, but they've obviously still got some things to work out.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Voynov needs to sit a game or two

Doughty statistically has his worst games against the Hawks .

 

[SFKingshomer]

Trade Richards and Brown for what? Dream on

Actually, technically, it is (thankfully). As long as everyone keeps losing together, we'll all get to the playoffs holding hands.

Muzzin too

 

[rapots]

Can't be dissapointed altough the loss. Man do we have some bad luck...3, 4 posts again? 3rd goal of Hawks was fluke
Oh well Kings are showing some sign of life if nothing else

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Have to agree on Voynov saving his worst against the Hawks. It was his bad pinch that led to the Kings' elimination in 2013. And we saw another bad punch by him that resulted in a Hawks goal.

 

[damacles1156]

Voynov needs to sit a game or two

I agree , we can crap on Muzzin all day. But Slava is Paid 4million to score and not make mistakes .....he has sucked all year.

Sharks and Nucks cant score either.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Muzzin too

Muzzin needs to ''disappear''.

Very true, but none of us has seen that in a while. I really hope they come out for blood and just pound them .

How much longer can la rely on that? SJ is ahead of us. Vancouver isn't even who I'm worried about behind us.

This team will be lucky to make the playoffs.
