GDT: Game 1 - 4/14 Kings @ Sharks 7:00PM

Did Demers and Murray switch water bottles or something? Jason is really throwing the body around - I like the physical play. Murray needs to get his back. Wallin needs to go refill the water bottles and just stay off the damn ice.

I have not seen a lot here to be very proud of. Sharks should have put this one away in the first and then padded some stats for the rest of the game. Give the Kings a lot of credit here. They are playing a simple game, keeping out of the penalty box and hustling. They get into good position and wait for the Sharks to choke, and they frequently do, and then they take advantage of it.

I am really beginning to think that the Sharks just have a prima-donna attitude about their game. The come out with a bunch of flash in the first 10 minutes, they coast until the final five and then try to pull it out of the hat. This is a recipe for yet another choke.

What happened to White? Kings announcers havent said anything about him? Was he hurt in the fight?

This team isn't in sync at all. Yeah LA is clogging the neutral zone, but where is Thornton to find that killer pass? Same ol crap - JoeT disappears for a whole series.

I agree Mad as I'm not a huge Thornton fan. But to be fair, he's only been invisible this game. He's gotta be better, that's for sure, but it's too early to say he'll disappear for the entire series. That said, shut us up jumbo

Do you mean Eager? White was hurt by a check from behind by Stoll.

Did they just fucking quit or what? How can you get dominated so bad on home ice in a fucking overtime?

 

[Cbrower91]

guess I got home in time for the good part.

 

[Yoshi]

We have no jump. Typical Sharks.

 

[filosofy29]

Thornton just got out-muscled by Richarddaughter and Simmonds.

 

[SJVP408]

Stoll is winning every faceoff it seems.

 

[filosofy29]

Somebody please kill Wallin.

 

[Ho_Brah]

Congrats so far Hawaiian. Your boys have played really hard so far and deserve OT. Sharks need to learn some heart.

thanks man.. crazy OT!!! Best game of these playoffs so far.

 

[rares]

Who had Kings-in-4 in this series?

 

[Yoshi]

Kings are running loops around us. Nice no call on the cross check by Mitchell as well.

 

[Ho_Brah]

omg

 

[rares]

Sharks playing like it's the first game of the regular season here. Pretty pathetic.

 

[Yoshi]

Pavs was the man on that takeaway.

I thought Logan kind of sold that one. Regardless, you can't call that in OT.

Yeah it's unfortunate the Sharks never play up to potential.

 

[rares]

They're not forechecking at all because they are scared like the little girls that they are.

Coaching fail, IMO.

That's why I said "nice no call"
