Lucky the Kings didn’t get a penalty for holding the stick with his teeth

Then no call for intentionally lying on the puck in the crease

"Kings fire it wide" is insane. Highlighted by that last Fogoele one. Just plays out like a record.

Pickard now looks like Dominic Hasek. Haha

Kings had a great look. But Kings finally getting it to the net with traffic. Gotta do that normally and not just with goalie pulled.

5-4

Lol this fucking team...give us hope for 50 seconds, just like this season. Perfect

Kopitar got a little piece at the net, but he's 1 on 3. Kings need to be CRASHING the net like Edmonton does.

Jill telling them to go shake, best coaching hes done this series

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Should have stayed back, he's good at that.

 

[Kings4OT]

Shitty way to end, but could see it days and days ago

Bad reffing for sure.
But probably both ways
Good teams beat bad refs

The thing that bothered me the most was getting a lead and then not playing offense.
They had the lead in every game and only game two they they keep the pressure on.
In game 5 they only had the lead for maybe a minute total but they did keep attacking.

Kopi and Drew looked old and tired.
4 years in a row and it just gets worse

Now that the season is over, I’m just here to say that I would like to see Rob Blake and the rest of the front office cleared out.

100%

But wishful for us most likely

Well. Overplayed their dudes early and blew too many games early. Had their chances tonight and let Pickard beat them. Beyond frustrating, but thus is this Kings experience. Can't get over the 2-0 breakaway and the Danault 2-1. Looking back Kempe breakaway in Game 5 as well.

Good news is Kuzmenko price probably nice and affordable now. Gavrikov not so much. I swear, if I'm Kempe, I actually consider my options as a FA coming up.

Felt like 4th line dudes got big minutes, which I can get behind. Kuemper was great and not so great. Clarke is Bouchard light. Offensive upside, but massive liability in his own end. 150lbs soaking wet.

Can't wait to talk about shows all summer.

Can't wait to watch the two teams I hate more than life go at it yet again for a chance to go the Western finals.

 

[Kings4OT]

Ya can hop Dal, Canes or fuck Flo again wins it all

Actually not sure if this is real
