#5 Los Angeles Kings vs. #6 San Jose Sharks - Western semis

[Ho_Brah]

wow that was almost a brilliant play by Doughty.

 

[Ho_Brah]

Sharks dominated this game. See you at Staples.

Sharks win a two two tie

lol - Oh well, they needed game six to pay off that 100 grand fine.

 

[rares]

That was ridiculous. Sitting on the lead doesn't fucking work. Sutter is like a million times better at coaching than McLellan.

Pissing me off even though they won.

It almost makes up for the game 2 bullshit but I'd still take being up 3-1 vs. tied 2-2. Oh well.

I don't follow the twitter feed.
It appears the Kings let a guest take over for a while (they have done that before) and have apologized .

I agree with you.

Yeah, I saw that...still, they may feel the pressure after a few of things they put out. I mean, they have to be professional to an extent. They did a great job of toeing the line last season, heck most clubs are copy cats now...but yeah, line crossed, etc. etc. Wouldn't shock me if the NHL fines them or something. Terrible publicity.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SITTING ON LEADS DOESN'T WORK?! Has anyone told Bylsma this?! NO?! HURRY, WE MAY HAVE TIM...nope, no we lost that game. Yep.

Game #5 is going to be EPIC!

 

[Ties5o11]

Kings made a great push and the game got real dicey, but Sharks held on. Good game. Best of 3 now.

I didn't see the posts. It is half of an la radio morning crew. A friend at work is friends with the other guy and my wife knows the guy that was posting and says he has always been an asshole
I don't think the kings people were very smart on this one

Haha.. to clarify, I am fully aware that all teams in today's NHL sit on leads in the 3rd period.

I just think that McLellan mismanaged his lines pretty bad in the 3rd (he even gave a few long shifts to his all-AHL -- aka 4th -- line... ).

Full credit to the Kings for coming hard at the Sharks like everyone figured they would, but still... he did nothing to help the situation.

If this was it, I didn't think the tweet was that bad... /shrug

Most of what he said was him just being an ass, which is fine...but that's why the guy has his own account.

"Galiardi gets penalty for running over Quick. Powerplay Kings. Kopitar just got sexually assaulted in front of Niemi."

A lot of people are responding with "Stop being so sensitive." Butttt, they've probably never been the victim of that.

Annnnyway, hockey. Sorry to derail. I'm certain their PR department will NEVER let this happen again. Ever.

It's not even marginally professional and it's insensitive in that light. I don't like joe schmo using the term "r*pe" in a sporting sense (just like we all tend to overuse the term "warrior", etc.), but when a professionally linked account does it, a line is crossed. The world of social media has blurred the lines a LOT...too much probably. Doesn't make it acceptable in my eyes though. I'm chairwoman of the "PC is over the top" board, but this isn't really a PC topic...it's a real issue, not just stepping on people's overly sensitive toes.

 

[rares]

Yeah, that part I agree with -- stuff like that has no business being tweeted from an official team twitter account, definitely.

Oh, I know, I was making light of the fact that my team's coach is equally terrible at managing a game late in it. "Oh, we're up one with a powerplay and under 2 to go? TOP LINE! GO OUT THERE, DUMP THE PUCK IN, AND PLAY DEFENSE, OKAY?!"

you two are cute with your Coach Stories on protecting 1 goal leads..

Speaking of the Canucks... Can the Sharks ride the "knocked Canucks out" roll to the Stanley Cup like the last 3 winners have?

im hoping that trend ends but not because I hate San Jose... I just hate that stigma the last while
