Doaner seemed to have grabbed doughnuts head and fall backward thus giving the impression of a krispy kreme tackle.

I think he is holding Doughty's head

I think he is holding on for dear life because he is about to get body slammed.

Again, it's rubbish, since the ref wasn't going to call anything, as evidenced by allowing the play to continue for 7 seconds.

that's awesome a fucking DDT!

Both people were given the proper penalty (this time).
:tinfoil: we really need a tinfoil hat smiley
There have been bad calls or/and non calls or/and wrong calls both ways in every game this season and post season.
I think it was Williams who got a cross check to the throat that was not called. I am sure if I watched the game again I could find several missed/wrong calls both ways.

So the thing that upsets you is that it took too long to make the right call?

anyways Im predicting a 5-1 Kings win. They will close it out in Fashion.

Quick

Game 4 will likely see new blood for the Coyotes. Adrian Aucoin practiced with the team in recent days and appears ready to go. Martin Hanzal is returning from suspension. Will this be enough for the Coyotes to finally take their first game in the series?



If not, and the Kings get on top early, will the Coyotes frustrations boil over? Hopefully not for the Kings sake. They need everyone healthy if they're going onto the final.

If the Coyotes do get a jump early (as they did in Game 1) it'll be an interesting reality check. The Coyotes have been nearly unbeatable under Dave Tippett when they get an early lead (they've won 79% of games when scoring first over 4 years). In order to avoid this Sutter is trying to keep his team focused. They again stayed at a hotel near Staples. Also via LAKI he had this message to his team:

"I think just trying to continue to harp detail on them. Hopefully they have the preparation skills to do that. … You’re going to get the same thing we got in the first period of last game, for sure. That’s logical, right? If I was those guys, I’d be doing the same thing. So, expect that. … I think they were really good in the neutral zone, and we weren’t as good."


We'll see what happens in few hours. I have a feeling there's a stronger likelihood than usual that first goal wins.

GO KINGS GO!

 

[OregonDucks]

I think PHX takes this one, but I don't see them winning GAme 5.

 

[Ho_Brah]

I have a not so good feeling about this one too. Browns head seemed a little in the clouds during yesterdays post practice interview.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

This should be a good one (I know Captain Obvious) looking forward to the game and good luck to the Yotes, Kings and their fans !!

Rock and Roll lets drop the puck !!

Well for what it's worth I think the Kings win 4-2. Remember this post.....








Only if I'm correct.

Kings didn't score on that early PP, but it looked pretty good. Pretty good pace to start the game.

 

[OregonDucks]

at least go down fighting Yotes! Jeeze

Big save by Smith on Lewis...

 

[dash]

Refs are calling everything so far...

 

[BOSSMANPC]

The Kings seem like they are always in fifth gear. So relentless in their checking and hustle.

Kings to the PP.

 

[beantownmaniac]

Not quite. Watch the replay. The ref isn't going to call anything against Doughty until they get up and the pushing and shoving ensues. You can tell because a) the ref is staring straight at Doughty and Doan from the back corner (see :06) and doesn't have his arm up and b) because the Kings pick up the puck, carry it up the ice, and complete several passes, and the whistle finally blows about 7 seconds later.

What did Doan get called for, not eluding the tackle? That was pathetic.

 

[beantownmaniac]

Doan on the PP!!!! 1-0 Yotes
