Clarke with one of his defensive gaffes, lucky Kuemper bailed him out.

DONT! switch back if you can

No sense of urgency on Kings PP. Need to understand the importance of these moments in the game.

 

[Kings4OT]

DD8 been a liability

Already did, I had to hand them a napkin through the TV to clean up the drool off their faces talking about the Oilers.

He really is. Him and Kopitar I actually think are struggling this game. The other two Kings lines look good. Even Fiala came to play.

The Kempe-Kopitar-Kuz line is MIA.

 

[Kings4OT]

God damn nailbiters killing me

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Which means the Kings are down to two lines basically since L4 won't see any time in the third. Crunch time, manage those minutes.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

I'm pretty sure Kopitar is personally responsible for the turning the puck over in the EDM zone, that has resulted in a 3-2 the other way at least 3 different times.

I still think Kings need another goal or two. To come out and defend only would be madness. Need some sort of forecheck and need to bury chances on the counter, because you know EDM activating all 5 guys on the rush

Missed the first two periods. (Insert joke)
Hoping to see a good third

The push will be on the moment the third starts, absolutely cannot go into the prevent defense. At the very least keep sustained pressure on them in their zone, sit back and the Kings will be toast.

Time to see if they learned something from G3.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Kuemper looking back into his own net cannot be how they teach you how to deal with the puck bouncing off endboards.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

What is this start? Keumper bailed them out. This start with successive icings. Bouchard is leading the attack, so Kings need to get going the other way.

 

[Kings4OT]

Well shit, here we go...just barely chip out and then change or play back....stop it

 

[Kings4OT]

Attack, wtf

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Unbelievable, chip it out and fall back into the NZ or icing. This is how you lose games.

 

[Kings4OT]

If i ever meet Jill im gonna punch him....just know when you hear about it...it was me
