Winnipeg's utter domination against the Kings

[BullLund]

Kings looked pretty gassed. I wouldn't draw too many conclusions based on that performance.

Kings were gassed, but game couldve easily been a blowout. Their goalie made a couple of really good saves and kept them in the game.

You guys are getting nashville or vegas... were taking the 3 spot

YOU STAY OUT OF THIS

After the Kings players comments about playing in Winnipeg. Kind of neat Jets have their number.

What is this? Think you have us mixed up with someone else. Plus we beat the Jets in WPG a month ago.

They looked gassed before the PKs, and Kopitar chugging pepto on the bench was a good sign guys have been getting flushed in and out of the lineup randomly, i.e. Clifford and Andreoff in the lineup at the second time? And maybe we're seeing why. Make no mistake, WPG amplified it by being awesome and skating us into the ground, but that's about the only game this year I remember the Kings basically saying "f*** it we're playing defense, hold on to your butts" and then tripping over themselves before getting the puck to the red line because they were suprised to find a black disc on their sticks.

Probably the perfect storm for the Kings' bad performance really. But the Jets are also just that good.

That's right. It was SJ players not LA players that said they didn't like Winnipeg. Got my west coast teams mixed up.

Being in a playoff spot alone is not an indication of a good team. Kings have been far luckier than Dallas, Calgary, Minnesota, and San Jose just to name a few of the teams competing with them this season.

Did a Kings' player run over your dog?

Utter Dominance is a 7-0 win not a 2-1 gimmick OT win.

Not really.

The Jets dominated territorial play and possession for good portions of the game.

Kings are a good team though, blocked a ton of shots, and their goalie played lights out.

Game play can be lopsided and one team can still come away with a marginal victory. It happens.

Was at the game. It was a weird one because for large chunks, we were hemmed in our own zone. We kept control of the puck but just could not get it out. I felt like we were in for a rough night. Then I saw they only had 4 shots midway through the first. We certainly had more scoring chances. We certainly did not dominate that game though.

One area I fee we did dominate was physicality. We were laying guys out the whole game.


Also.....they had Jack Campbell in net. Only putting 2 past him is not good enough in my opinion.

The post above yours shows only 3 minutes for the entire game

Sorry I edited my post. We still maintained possession but just could not get the puck out. They had a very solid forcheck going.

How have they been luckier? They've missed their 2nd best forward for over 3/4ths of the season. Were they handed free points? Are you pointing out that the Kings are lucky that Quick is lucky to not be unlucky because he can do the splits and not tear his groin after 2 injuries?

Salty Flames fan noted

As Jets fan I think the Jets control play the whole game but, but it wasn’t nearly as one sided as the OP suggests. The Jets had to grind because the Kings were not giving up much. Even the close in shots were not really great chances because defensive coverage was always right there.


I’d be happy with this performance from the Jets on any given night but given the circumstances it was a good game plan and got the Kings a point

 

[GoJetsGo55]

P.S. potentially the worst game of the season for Myers. Sloppy passes. Sloppy puck control. Sloppy everything.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

I'm sure the condensed game highlights could have been biased but Toffoli did have some good chances as well, that had luck gone Kings way, brought them a win. (pass to Carter, shot off the crossbar).

I didn't see the game but I dont doubt it, HDSCs are pretty questionable in their classification.

No, just their playoff chances.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

The really fun thing is going to be after being this tired...flying to a mile high city to play what would hopefully be a great game but I suspect will just be the Kings puking in their own laps on the bench...

Winnipeg is good - other than Nashville best team in West

yupp. that's hockey for you
that's also why they play 7 game series in the playoffs

 

[volcom92886]

Why is this even a thread? A rested team beat a fatigued team on the back end of back to backs in OT. Cool story, move on.

 

[Bandit]

Kings played the Jets twice in Winnipeg in the last month on the second night of a back-to-back, got 3 out of 4 points. Not bad.

 

[antiqueslivers]

yeah I didn't feel wpg "dominated" the game. I mean Carter's missed shot would of changed everything. At least to me dominating a games doesn't hinge on one missed shot. Loved Kopitar chugging the PB on the bench... even tho the jets are my jam, you gotta respect the kings and their players.

 

[rajuabju]

I really like the Jets team.

If Vegas doesnt win the Cup, I want them to win.

I don't want Vegas to win. I've never liked the idea of a team winning in their first year in the league because of what it does to their fans psychologically.
