Good job Buster, big PK coming.

Moore with the horrendous pass to miss Byfield and then Byfield lazy stick offensive zone penalty. Cannot be doing that.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Kings won that faceoff too. Lazy predictable play to the board the Avs jumped on.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Overall. Colorado controlling play and it was a matter of time. LA actually doing the best they can do I think. They get fewer chances so that's why it was so important to bury their chances. Felt like Kempe was all over in the 1st but much quieter in that second.

We'll see how it goes. Kings generally should be comfy in these closer games. 33 OTs and all...

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Man. They just said Avs 41-0-0 this season leading after 2. But to quote Bill Burr "That's the record, until it isn't". Hoping for some luck/magic?

 

[Kings4OT]

DD8 literally has the entire sheet of ice to move the puck from his end and hits the only Av thats behind him.

How the fuc.k you do that, luckily Av was just as suprised as I am

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

That will probably do it. Kings look so amateur in these little passes in their own zone. Tripping over themselves. Just panicky and out of sync.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

They are worse than last year and arw playing a better opponent this year. Expected.

Yea, they just aren't that good and the dmen are a liability these days

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

I want to start the annual "Trevor Moore is too small and ineffective for playoff hockey" chain. Be nice if "Red Hot" Byfield could also make an appearance.

But yeah, overall, this is probably closer than we expected and it is what it is.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Kings 5 forward PP to start here

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Not the worst PP overall.

Funny to see Moore come in for 2nd unit PP and just get bodied off the puck. Right on cue.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

You see Makar is being a Bitch with the extra slashes, but the point is Landeskog comes out and immediately deals with Kempe. The Kings have never learned that. Helenius or whoever should be all over Makar for those little slashes.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Kings look gassed, I think the altitude definitely affecting them.

Or they are just old and slow.

The Kings are not going to win this game, time to send L4 out and have Malott and Helenius abuse some Avs. At least get your pound of flesh out of this series.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

2-1

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Ouch. Like the 3rd or 4th offensive zone penalty on LA

 

[Kings4OT]

Lol wtf, you cant play PK with 1:30 left

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

This whole thing is weird. Avs run 4 forwards and Kings playing legit PK.
