#5 Los Angeles Kings vs #1 Chicago Blackhawks WCF series thread

[Ho_Brah]

I know the Kings talk about having “champions’ poise” but it’s really looking like “champions’ laziness” at this point. Just a lot of coasting, a lot of watching. Need to get legs moving, and pucks and bodies to the net.

Quick is amazing....but you cannot give Chicago this many chances and not have them bury them

Now he knows how Ryan Miller felt this year. Sabres gave up tons of quality chances every game. They arent supermen.

that's what i thought after the first

 

[davnlaguna]

Kings always play poorly in early Saturday games
hope the third period is better

 

[Darkstone42]

What a play that was by Saad.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

that was a good penalty to take imo

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Kings to the PP, Big chance here to tie it.

 

[davnlaguna]

as bad as kompon is on coaching the PP he is that good on the PK

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Kings running out of time. Damn good close game though !

 

[puckhead]

Bolland left his feet.

 

[esls79]

Bolland left his feet.

I thinks it's allowed as long as you don't lead with the elbow, shoulder, or skate.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Good first game. If you have it on DVR save it because this series will be like this all the way. Just watch the replay.

Congrats Hawks fans.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

it seemed to me like Chicago was resting some of the top guys at the end (or just rolling 4 lines) so i will be interested to see if they look like they have more gas tomorrow with the quick turnaround.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Both Richards and Bolland could be suspended....good game Hawks

 

[gmalis1]

When the Kings get two goals they usually win. When they get two goals one is pretty and one is ugly. Here is hoping for a pretty goal soon

Maybe in tomorrow's game. Or the next game. Or the next.

 

[gmalis1]

second chance opportunities...thats how it's gonna have to go this series.

Rebounds and redirects...that's how it always goes. Lots of "greasy" goals in the playoffs. Not too many pretty ones.

Hawks always roll four lines. Actually, even though all four lines played very well today, I thought the Hawks third and fourth lines were terrific. Really carried the play and stifled the Kings offensively.
