WCSF Gm#6: KINGS vs. Sharks - 5/26/13 - One More Win.

[damacles1156]

You guys all complaining about the Kings, perhaps you should give the opponents some credit! Sharks came out aggressive in the third. Great game plan.

They did what they are suppose too. I thought the Kings played a better road game.

But you don't win road games (any game really) scoring one goal.

What I don't understand is how can a team play so well in game 5 and then forget about everything that worked in game 6

 

[Herby]

In fairness to Richards, he has not been good all year defensively, yet DS is sending him out there against a puck possession guy who is a much much larger man. He is running around and being physically abused because of Sutter's stubbornness and refusal to end that laughable experiment.

Richards has played great this series at home and horrible on the road, it's obvious to see why. He should bounce back in game 7, the Kings will need him.

Sharks made good adjustments. They changed the break out.

Sharks clogged up the neutral zone,and had one guy attacking. It was tthe kings who never adjusted. It's the kings. Our defense never activated.

Someone mentioned this on Twitter but Doughty seems like he's being held back? I don't understand this, he's our best player, let him create something. Martinez should come in for Muzzin, keep Toffoli in. He brings some offense to that 4th line. Nolan, King have been useless. They scored key goals for us last year, haven't done anything this year.

Don't know, but he kept on having to save Regeher's butt.

Regehr is playing awful on the road. Shoot whole team is.

Drew and Quick are about the only guys that show up.

 

[taz346]

This effort is all on the players. The played like if it was there first playoff game. What a piss poor effort. Oh well, on to game 7.

This. It was the team who played like crap and how can people blame Sutter for his decisions? Fans are fans for a reason and Sutter has his job for a reason. He brought the Cup to the Kings and he's one smart coach. The guys screwing up is not his fault. Scorers haven't been scoring and you can't win games if you make all goalies look like HHOF men. Only thing consistant about the Kings is their inconsistancy.

Don't know, but he kept on having to save Regeher's butt.

Speaking of which, did anybody else see him after mid-way through the 3rd? I don't remember seeing his number or Forslund saying his name once after about 8 or 9 minutes into the 3rd period.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

This is random has anyone noticed how bad our line changes have been in regards to their timings?

 

[lumbergh]

Here's a thought for you. Tuesday will be the first game the Kings have faced elimination in two years.

 

[Ron*]

You guys keep forgetting that the home team has the last change! San Jose has been using that to match Thornton line to the Richards line. It has obviously made a HUGE difference in these playoffs.

That, and the fact we can't win a face off to save our lives. That trend is going to have to stop or we can forget a title defense.

You'd think that Darryl Sutter would have adjusted to this game plan by now. It's the same exact one they had in game 3 & game 4

 

[1dude]

Sharks played a good game. Giving up a 5-3 goal early didn't help the Kings.

Kings hit some posts...the Doughty ringer probably would have sent the game the other way if it went in. Oh well.

Kings play good at home and Sharks will have their hands full. It'll be a great game 7 to watch.

Stoll....

You never know what you have till it's gone.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Yes. How many too many men calls have we had this year?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I thought only one line played really well today, and that was the line of King-Lewis-Brown. That's it. The top two lines didn't generate much flow or scoring chances and the fourth line was utterly useless.

Agreed. Sometimes the other team deseves credit for their work.

 

[etherialone]

This is what the Sharks knew they would get by taking Stoll out (or at least that POS Torres knew) and it holds true. The team that wins critical draws wins games. With Stoll in the line up we had at the very least a better than average two way center to anchor our 3rd line but we also had one of the very best face off men in the game. Stoll was a very very important part of our puzzle and that is the reason he was targeted.

But that was that and now we have to win one more game at home. The officiating remains embarrassing but we have to rise above that and win the next game. We are the better team and it will show next game.

Tonight was frustrating but we will end up the better team next game.

I give ZERO credit to the sharks. They suck and have gotten away with being a very dirty average team. I said it before the playoffs started and I say it again, the only team that can beat us out there is ourselves. We will get a chance to prove that we are the better team next game and return to the WCF's as a result.

F the sharks.

Sutter is one mean person.

Even when we win face offs, the other team gets control over the puck. So frustrating.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Yes. How many too many men calls have we had this year?

Too many. But not that exactly, the timings have been horrible.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Too many. But not that exactly, the timings have been horrible.

Agreed on that. Rough to watch, among other things...

 

[kingsfan28]

I hope someone ask him why he chose Nolan over Toffoli

 

[Sydor25]

Kings should go with seven defensemen again for game seven. Muzzin has been terrible at both ends of the ice. Can't get shots through and continues to turn over the puck.

Oh well. One more home game for the kings. Must win for the first time in two years.

Go kings! I'm going to be a mess on Tuesday.
