If you aren't supremely talented like, say, TB, you have to be emotionally jacked for these games. Buy in. Be willing to take a bullet for each other.

These guys wouldn't do that two seasons ago. Haven't this year either except for a couple dudes. The majority of this team needs to be winning to care.

They need to realize the caring comes before the winning.

This is easily one of the best games I've been to this year and it's all because the captain got made to look like a bitch so they got mad.

Vegas is going to wreck SJ in the 1st round if tonight game is any indication.

Forbort took the high school year book quote "never change" literally.

yeah this has been very very different

not just the fighting presence but rolling 4 for the most part outside of special teams

very different than watching tired kopi dog it out there for 30 minutes

 

[kingsfan28]

The Kings haven't had a shot since they had the pp last period. Stuck on 15 shots and this goalie has been shakey all night.

Forbort is one of the worst defenseman I've seen on the Kings for a long time.


His turnovers are so insane.

 

[kingsfan28]

Forbort is the new Randy Jones. Just a fricken turnover machine!

He's the worst defenseman I've seen since Jones. Honestly, hes so bad. Blows my mind he's on the team.

 

[tny760]

drew put one of those breakouts into his skates so i'd like to share some of the blame but he's just so goddamn slow about everything

Good thing he provides scoring, hitting and toughness

He's so lucky that he's a first round pick. The Kings are only playing his dumb ass so they don't admit to the fact he's a failure

 

[Sol]

A bit weird that Chris Sutter is still here tbh. Kind of like a side show at this point. Sad.

 

[kingsfan28]

No shots this period. WD must've really said something great between periods like, "We're down a goal, lets play good defense and not try to score ".

 

[tny760]

not super relevant but i find it pretty interesting the difference between the team's communication with the goalie when quick is in net vs when campbell's in

almost every time campbell freezes it, a defenseman comes to him and they have a word or two, usually campbell taps em on the shins.. quick: nobody ever even looks at him

So much for hoping that Toffoli would catch fire after not being moved at the deadline. He has 2 goals and no assists in his last 15 games. The Kings will be lucky to get a Happy Meal in return when they decide to trade him. At this point, no way you can sell this low on him this Summer. Need him to start fresh next year and hopefully get right.

He was never a summer move. You hope he has a good season next year. TDL move

They finally get their first shot of the period. The fans are getting their money’s worth.

 

[kingsholygrail]

All the dead weight out on the ice for the goalie pull. Glorious.

 

[AzKing]

Winnipeg with more stupid passing that led to that 2 on 1. They don't take the safe route off the boards.

willie reverts to his old ways no matter what

that bench got awful short in the 3rd period

 

[SlimCharles]

Success

 

[The Butcher]

I got the feeling that if the game were another minute longer the Kings would have gotten at least one more shot.

You give them too much credit. Someone would have shot it wide.
