Kings of giveaways
Aubin leaves the puck for Preissing going behind the net and Branko Radivojevic swoops in to steal it and feed an oncoming Mikko Koivu for the goal. One of the ugliest goals of the year. Aubin really didn't even have time to get set.
As I was typing, the Kings quickly tied it up on a power play. Brad Stuart took a long-range slap shot that deflected off Kyle Calder for the goal. And now the Kings get another power play ...

Nice deflection by Calder. It's nice to see a Kings forward plant himself in front of the net.
come on, matt.
one of the 'ugliest goals of the year'?? it was a physical mistake by preissing, the kind that happens to the best of players. and the passing. . .more like one of the 'prettiest' goals of the year! they'd've beaten any team with that type of play, so i don't understand why you'd make such a statement.
You're right that it was a beautiful goal, as long as you're not a Kings fan. Just a bad giveaway.
Don't miss the fact that Frolov screwed the pooch on that one too. Watch the replay. First, he makes a feeble attempt to disrupt the Wild's outlet pass to the nuetral zone skater. Then he doesn't backcheck to help Preissing out. Yeah Preissing made the first mistake but Fro could have provided some support and at least stopped Bouchard from making that pass.
