Jere Lehtinen knocked in a one-timer off a feed from Brenden Morrow with 3:55 left in the period. Not much LaBarbera could do about that one. He came up with a big save on Jussi Jokinen a few minutes later. By the way, even though Kopitar started with Frolov and Nagy, he's gone back to playing with Cammalleri and Brown.

Well, I guess I just lost $5 Bucks. I thought Crow would hold off on the line juggling until the second period. But as predicted, he gets an itch in his pants and players get moved.
What a joke.
By the way, Blake could have bought tickets to watch that first goal go in.
How much hitting can you expect??? How can the guys even hit. It was 20 minutes of straight dump and chase, dump and chase. And when we dump it in, Turco handles the puck so we can't even get in to forcheck/hit.
Need to change that up abit
scratch that post above, belongs in the previous blog comments
Kredell, next time you or Hammond talk to Crawford, can you please ask why he feels that he must change lines every game? With the success that the team had for 2 games with set lines, he changes them half way through the first period of tonights and the Kings start running around again.
O'Sullivan looked like he was lost on the ice for that first goal because he is playing with different line mates.
How can this team play a solid 5 man defense when they are constantly changing who they play with? How can they develop some familiarity?
From my understanding, and even Bob And Jim mentioned it within the first 5 SECONDS of the telecast, Kopitar was only on the ice with Nagy and Frolov, so that he can take the faceoff, less than three seconds after the faceoff Kopitar went off the ice. From my standpoint, that was the only time the lines were different.
What about the fact that Armstrong is on the second line, O'Sullivan is on the third line, and Handzus is on the fourth line? That doesn't constitute change from the previous few games to you?
Why's everybody gotta be lineNazi's??! 22 guys familiar with each other is lethal
I knew someone would try and blame Blake for that goal...anthony. I believe your boy Sully should take the blame for that one. Blake was holding his position along with the other 3 guys on the ice who were not expecting Sully to leave the slot wide open for a prime scoring opportunity. The Blake bashing is getting old...let's get over it.
