quick!!! that cant go in!
I can't see it, but it sounds like the Kings haven't come out the way they needed to...hopefully they can pick it up.
Color Commentary Rich?!?!
WTF is up with these calls... It's on both sides too
Rich, I asked a question on the forum the other day about the recent breakdown in Quick's mechanics and as it went unanswered I figured either you really didn't have anything specific to say about it, or that it really wasn't a very good question. Well, at least after tonight I think it wasn't too bad of a question :-)
Does that really say Shots for Vancouver 20.
Shots for the Kings 3?
Wow.
Sounds like a crazy game.
Kings aren't taking advantage of the PPs they've been given so far. I hope this one is different. Vancouver is playing well. Quick has been good less the one mistake.
What's he now doing with these line combinations.
TM is coaching terribly.
Just aweful.
Can somebody saboutage Gauthiers means of transportation.
Why is gauthier still on this team. I think this just shows that management doesnt think this team will reach the playoffs otherwise DD2 would be playing. And not just staying in Man. to play in the AHL playoffs.
the refs are AWFUL in this game. terrible.
Thanks Dominic...I guess I forgot my daily plea.
Quick needs to learn how to play the puck behind the net, he has been very weak on that since he came up. He was playing great until then.
Kings offense stayed back in LA, or maybe they are already in San Jose, they sure are not in Vancouver!!!
Dominic Lavoie,
Agreed.
Just pay $169.00 and get the center ice package.
I'm really disgusted with this game.
I can't keep up with these pathetic line combinations.
Handzus looks terrible on the penalty kill.
I don't care how much he's loved around here, he's the slowest player I've ever seen this decade.
If TM can bench Calder, he sure has hell can bench Gauthier.
He is now the worst player on this team. Completely clueles on how to play the man.
Please.
Do.
Not.

Thank you.
NICE!!!!
2-2
Now we're in business.
wow, the leaders are stepping up. One more boys
Errr, nvm.
This loss hurts.
Running out of time. And games.
Maybe Rich was right.
It was fitting that the Canucks fans were singing "shana-na-na, hey hey hey goodbye" near the end. Not only was it "goodbye" for the game, it was "goodbye" for the season.
Bad Kings! It was a great run on the playoffs but the Kings are playing like they were on spring break in Manhattan Beach all week! The Kings are not going to make it this year because they havn't been consistant! As a 500 pct. team the Kings are not a playoff team yet!
Watched end of the game on one of those "illegal streaming threads" and it appeared, from the highlight, that actually the puck took a funny bounce off the end boards as Quickie stepped out to play it - on the first Vancouver goal, of course.
I didn't see any "mishandling."
Great goal by Frolov.
And a nice pass on the Kopitar goal.
Anyone miss O'Sullivan tonight?
I did.
With no o'sullivan, we had Harrold on wing and Ivan AND Westie?
While striving for the playoffs???
JJ had a nice rush to nearly score and knock it off the crossbar.
Wasn't he "off" the PP, PK last week?
g'night.
Hey Rich, Sorry I know I posted a site earlier, I didnt know there was an issue with that....
Funny how Karma works, I ended up not being able to watch it on the streaming site tonite.
Should have just paid for Center Ice, but I ran out of cash after I paid for my playoff tickets....... =)
I thought we traded Labarbera....How many goals is this guy going to let in while skating behind the net. WHY HAS THE COACHING STAFF NOT TOLD HIM TO NEVER LEAVE HIS CREASE?????
Well,looked good up until the colapse.Brown,Kopi and Purcell were not involved enough-too soft.I think were done if they play even a couple more like this.TM always seems to find away of messing with the lines,with no regularity there is no chemistry.Quick looked tired.
Very frustrating to say the least.We win three in a row,then TM puts his over thinking cap on.I`ve never seen such a confused offense, and defense.What the hell did they work on this week in practice?I think TM is in love with Rat and Goat.(PLAY YOUR BEST PLAYERS TM).Good nite.
"I thought we traded Labarbera....How many goals is this guy going to let in while skating behind the net. WHY HAS THE COACHING STAFF NOT TOLD HIM TO NEVER LEAVE HIS CREASE?????"
the funny thing is Hextall was on Kings Talk after last Saturday's game explaining that it was one of the main things they were working with him on. he screws it up at least twice a game, but it doesn't usually result in a goal against. only this time
Sorry Rich, it won't happen again.
