Relevant Game Information

Hopefully we see Ben Scrivens in net. The guy was a solid backup and never once complained about his time in LA.

No Gabby and Quick to start

Last game everyone had a lot of minutes. This game a few guys will have limited minutes

Andreoff fights on his first shift in the NHL.....

Good start but the Kings power play still looks like it belongs in some beer league. Now they have to kill a penalty against a team that apparently knows how to execute with an extra man.

Short handed Toffoli

Men vs boys, and I remember not too long ago, I was saying this, and the boys were the Kings.

Scrivens now in net to replace Fasth. The Oilers do look out-classed. I expect them to come out a lot better in the 2nd period though.

Wow! I sure had that wrong. Oilers don't look any better at all. The captain gets one and Pearson gets another right after.

Save some goals boys.

nope

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Edmonton getting a few more chances now but I'm not sure if that's due to their better play or the Kings backing off a little after building the big lead.

Ox

 

[pete6835]

The difference is our kids are scoring.

Pearson

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

And the Kings power play gets off the schneid. Plus Richards gets a point.

Ox

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Good solid performance against a much weaker team. Too bad they couldn't get Quick the shutout but there'll be more chances for him to pass Vachon for the team lead in that category.

Is it true that they showed a graphic about the shut out right before the Oilers scored?

I don't remember seeing any graphic but that doesn't mean there wasn't one up. I ignore most of the graphics that FSW puts on the screen.

Taken from the blog
-No King recorded fewer than 12:16 of ice time (Andreoff) or more than 22:53 (Voynov). All forwards recorded between 12:16 (Andreoff) and 17:37 (Kopitar) of ice time. The skater with the least amount of even strength ice time was Tyler Toffoli, with 10:45.

This is what makes the Kings hard to play against. They play everyone quite a bit. It wears teams down over a game, over a season and in the playoffs.
