Probably gonna get tied early in the 3rd, withstand the next storm play their game and deal with the end...they can do this

The most "Kings" mindset, and I totally understand it. Kings won't just come out and do work, they'll give up the 4th, and then they'll grind and get another.

But this team feels so different. They have 3 lines that are so focused on the next shift, they might just be dialed in.

Edmonton shot their whole best shot 1st period, and are just trying to reel it in. On their point, they've been losing by 2-3 goals heading into every 3rd so far, so they're probably okay mentally. But Kings need to know this game is probably gonna be 6-4 or 6-5. Still need more

Sometimes you are just lucky

 

[Kings4OT]

Kings gotta start getting those pucks out when they have a chance...playing with fire

 

[Kings4OT]

Rather be lucky than good

Kings are both right now

 

[Kings4OT]

Not shocked, Kings dont learn...cant keep playing back your gonna lose

 

[Kings4OT]

[Kings4OT]

Hopefully LA can overcome being stupid again....giving it away, thats how they start

4-5

 

[davnlaguna]

This is mentally challenging. Kane even playing. But the iffy kicking BS. You KNEW Canada was ruling favorably

I saw it as a good goal, but kings shouldnt even be playing back....has that ever once worked for them vs edm? The challenge was stupid, now up hill and that doubt is in la

 

[Kings4OT]

Worst way to lose IMO, this was bad

 

[davnlaguna]

Funny when you play a prevent defense for 13 minutes
You lose
Fox calling them out for it

This TBS/TNT broadcast the most Canada Homer bs

Just noting that Fox was calling it a bad coaching decision. He doesn’t do that often.

Ya, it was bad bad bad...sorry, just mad. Can see it was gonna happen. Why dont you change whats going on from the bench. Has he ever seen a team win playing back? Then see it fail, see no reason for a challenge and do that to lose the game...horrid coaching

Pretty much. Kings came out not to lose, instead of going for the win. They deserve to lose. PP 2 for 2, otherwise their 5 on 5 wasn't great.

Good for the league and for non partisan fans, but hoping Kings regroup and take care of business Game 4. I feel like that PK after the challenge was almost worse. 7 second PK

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Kings blow the whole thing with 6 minutes left in the game. But there were chances before that. I hate so much about this, but we're about to see if this team actually has character. Edmonton barely wins their 1st game at home, and maybe that's a thing.
