Bieksa was horrible. I agree, I didn't think Hamhuis had a great game. I thought our coverage in our own zone was suspect again.

 

[mattola]

Keslers line needs to find its game in game 5. the sedins will be targets by LA all game and maybe it will free up Kesler. we need him now

 

[mooger_35]

And we also need our 4th line to play some minutes in the offensive zone (and earn more than 4 or 5 mins a night).

I thought lines 1 and 3 were good last night... 2 and 4, not so much.

I notice Kassian in the first period for one shift. then I NEVER see him again

does he even touch the puck after that. its crazy

Im usually missing the first 5 mins of games because its bedtime for the kids and i never find out who the 4th line is lol

 

[mooger_35]

He'll be in the AHL next year. I'd rather have Reinprecht (sp?)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

this break will be good for the Kings star players ... I thought they looked tired last night ... Dutter has been playing em into the ice ... probably why their 4th line looked so good ... He finally gave them some ice and they had fresh legs

wish av would trust our 4th liners

is he under contract next year? Reinprecht? I think its a colossal fuck up that they seemed to indicate that they could call him up freely for the playoffs only to indicate that he had to clear reentry waivers. did they not know that? why even think he was a potential call up you know he would get claimed in a second

you think? Ill wait til training camp .. they get him on a better fitness program, get some man strength on him and monitor him, give him advice on what they want from him in exit meetings and i think he can provide something next season

i think he's running from his junior rep ... needs to learn when to ramp up the hate

i can agree with this as well. won't know until camp to see if he starts in the A or not.

he will be given every chance. depends on who the coach is as well if AV is back or not.

Very true

 

[mattola]

have you ever seen a goalie LIE DOWN on the ice as much as quick when he's looking for pucks. its weird. effective for him but weird to watch

Dr Recchi ‏ @DrRecchi
Hey Dustin Brown, I heard you got pimp slapped last night by Henrik Sedin. I have no diagnosis for that, I just find it funny as hell

 

[mooger_35]

When it comes to lying down... Luongo takes that.

After watching Schneider this year, he may be the most technically sound goalie in the NHL.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Dustin Brown post game called Luongo a "blocker" ... a term i know alot of goalies find insulting ... called Crampy more reflex

and thats the difference between Lou and Quick when it comes to getting down on the ice ... Quicks reflexes are like his surname, Quick

Luongo seems to just go down and lay there and wait ... for what? ... i dont know because the puck never hits him when hes down

I understand goalies want to rely on their economy of motion but when youre down on the ice and scrambling ... react fast dammit!

He plays net like a fucking ninja... I love watching him play. I secretly root for the guy only cause he is from Milford, CT.

Here is Brown's take
(on the hit from Henrik Sedin…)
BROWN: “I didn’t know who it was. I had a puck in my face, so my eyes were watering. I didn’t really know if it was my player, their player. I didn’t really know. Whatever hit me, hit me in the head. … I haven’t seen it. I had just got hit in the face with a puck, so I didn’t really know if it was my guy, their guy, a stick. I really didn’t know.’’

(on the save on his penalty shot…)
BROWN: “It’s a big momentum swing for them. It’s goes from a (potential) 2-2 game to a 3-1 game in a matter of 20, 30 seconds. I made a move and he made a save.’’
