GDT: Royal Treatment - Hawks vs Kings - 12/15 WCF Rematch

Whatever. I don't have the energy to complain about the PP when the PK is as bad as it is. It's like complaining about a car splashing dirty water on you after getting shot 50 times.

Kings are struggling to complete passes and look slower than normal They look a little off. Not sure what their record is for seconds of back to backs though.

Great teams just sometimes have bad/off nights. They happen in the course of an 82-game season.

That's why nobody should lose their head over a bad loss or a two or three game skid... just so long as they don't happen too regularly.

So is tonight a matter of LA having a bad night, or us having a good night?

 

[madgoat33]

I just don't think the kings matchup well to us. They can outgrind teams like st louis, but I think we just out-talent them.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Hawks PK time.

 

[Nothingman*]

Here comes a goal........

agreed. wouldn't mind seeing them again in the playoffs.

 

[CertainAffinity*]

Oh great, PK without our best PK man.

Both.

Good teams find ways to win bad games, and we've had bad performances this year where we've managed to get two points from. We're playing well, the Kings are playing only average, and the end result is a 3-0 lead for the good guys with half a period to go.

I'd say that the Kings have been slightly off, not all out bad, though.

I wouldn't say out-talent, I would say out-pace. They can't handle our speed.

On the other hand, we couldn't beat Anaheim if half their lineup was out of the game with the plague.

Match-ups are funny that way. Sometimes a team just has your number.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Ahhh..... Kane just barely misses a tailor-made goal.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

I know it's a small sample size but Raanta when screened is really solid.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Wow, Saad is great.

 

[Kurtosis]

Holy crap. That was amazing from Saad.

 

[Marina]

Saad <3

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Ahhh..... Kane just barely misses a tailor-made goal.

He's had so many tonight. Just one more freaking point and he ties Crosby.

 

[MadhouseOnMadison]

He deserves better than Brookbank on his line. Anyone else and that probably goes in and Saad tallies another point.

 

[Nothingman*]

I learn more things hockey related on the Kings feed than with Foley. Love Foley but sometimes.......he is frustrating.

 

[Kurtosis]

LOL at Dustin Brown.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

There goes the shutout.

 

[Marina]

Boo.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

And there goes the shutout

 

[Nothingman*]

Dammit!

 

[MadhouseOnMadison]

We're not getting a shutout this year.

 

[Sevanston]

So close to that shutout, Antti.
