Peter Harrold's slap shot beat Mike Smith, with Dustin Brown running interference in front, with 1:58 remaining in the second period to pull the Kings within two goals.

How can the team play with passion and enthusiasm when you have a person behind the bench that shows no emotion or feelings.
Its like a statue behind is the bench without a care in the world.

Looks like Stoll is going back to the doghouse.

sorry, this game is a lost cause. i'm not even counting on someone to challenge artyukhin, as rupp did to greene. i could at least take something positive away from this game if they would step up for eachother. we just don't have that kind of character. sad. sad. sad.
