Looked very similar to the game last year.
I think both teams are on the same page. Nobody on the Kings actually thinks they can compete in this game, and nobody on the Lightning thinks the Kings can compete in this game. It's all very matter of fact. Even if Kopitar scored early, or there were no 5 on 3's, the score might be a little different, but the game would look the same. There's nothing to take away from the game, positive or negative. It's a waste of everyone's time. Tampa just wants to get out without an injury before they play an actual opponent on Saturday. The Kings just want to get home. Both teams are obligated to be on the ice, but neither team wants to be on the ice for this. Tampa isn't even excited to score. They both know who the other team is, and the quicker the next 40 minutes go, the better for everyone.

Kings working hard to see just how far away from the goalie they can get in the O zone on the power play

Would you happen to be sitting in 304? The cackling and obnoxiously loud wench in that section pretty much made me drop my Dave Taylor Die Hard season tix. I couldn’t stand sitting there, on top of the shitty hockey.
Meh I've seen this story from the lightning the past few years lead the league in everything, Kucherov leading the league in scoring then the second half comes and playoffs starts and we crown a Stanley cup champ not named Lightning. But on a positive note we're still right on track.

Wagner will be a healthy scratch in the next game.

I like how Fox describes the 2nd power play as “the one that moves the puck and their feet” as if there’s another strategy where being slow and shitty is successful.
Wags! Good job kid.

I don't know what is up with Kopitar this season. I've never seen him this bad, even in '16-'17 when his scoring plummeted he was still good defensively. The way he turns pucks over, just gives up on board battles and lazily moves the puck is just not reminiscent of Kopitar. Feels like he just gave up, but if he is injured they should rest him up because this is bad.
