Heading to OT
It's tied 2-2. Regardless of what happens, the Kings will do something only one team has done since Nov. 11: get at least one point in a game against the Sharks...

my guess is labs will blow the shutout... i hope not but he isn't great when they skate slow.
you guessed right. knew it was coming too. I hope Iceberg is okay
has LOLbarbera EVER made a save in any shootout...ever?
Labs couldn't stop a beachball in the shootout.
Jason is the worst at shootouts... He does a weird shrinking backwards jog with shaky feet and no angle.
Labarbera couldn't stop a breakaway if it meant his life. Marleau, Dan Boyle and Clowe all ate him up, the last 2 with the EXACT same move. He stands no chance in there. If there is ever a benefit of ersberg getting hurt, it may mean a call up for quick/bernier. God this one stings!
great game though...
Ive never seen a goalie as overmatched as LaBarbera in a shootout. Pull the goalie with a minute left in overtime

The team that pulls a goalie in OT and loses on an empty net goal also loses the point in the standings for making it to OT. I know you're being sarcastic but you'll never see it happen.

You will see this happen at the end of the season when teams need 2 points to get into the playoffs. Andy Murray and his Kings did the a few years ago.
