Game Thread: Kings @ Jets

[Kings4OT]

Kovy with his first as a King...great start, I missed it

 

[Kings4OT]

Wagner burned....1-1

 

[Kings4OT]

Im going to get Pearson going....has he played this season? haven't noticed him doing anything, usually at least in front of the net and chasing down pucks...outside of a few whiffed shots I haven't noticed him

 

[Kings4OT]

Gonna be a long season if Muffin is clearing the puck on PK after DD failed twice

 

[Kings4OT]

difference in skill very noticeable so far this game, Soup keeping the game winnable so far

 

[Kings4OT]

Jets PP too much and too many...1-2

Campbell is the only King still playing
Hopefully the Jets will be tired from skating circles around the Kings and will fall flat in the third. I think the Jets goalie has forgotten what a puck looks like

is he still in net? I thought they pulled him for the extra attacker a couple periods ago

Kings almost got a PP goal, I think they should give it to them

Two posts (crossbars) should count as one goal.
Shot count over 10

3min left Kings powerless play on the ice

Better 3rd, but not much. Kings very outclassed this game, hopefully they can get their groove because they didn't seem like any kind of threat tonight. 0-9? on the PP to start the season, I don't know why the Kings are so pathetic on the PP(nobody does) but its seriously annoying.

Yeah you pretty much said it all. Campbell looked awesome, and game could have (Should have?) been a lot worse. 100% Wagner got burned on that first goal. Kings had 9 total shots until sometime into the 3rd. 2 super lazy penalties back-to-back in that 2nd, which really hurt an already one-sided game (But that's what happens when the other team has the puck the whole game).

Power Play is just AHL quality. Standing around, scared, no movement. Rough. And you get the vibe that scoring is so scarce, that guys are passing up shots and overcomplicating things because they don't want to blow the single chance.

Yeah Pearson is no-show. Kempe might be my new whipping boy as well since he gets his skates moving too fast for his hands and pretty much overskates the puck or fans on it every time he's near it (What's his goal-less count up to now? 40 games?). Toffoli is easy to pick on, but I don't see what he brings with him being so slow. His shot isn't even that great, as shown on that little break he had coming down the wing on the Jets. Kings issues seem to go well beyond just him, but he doesn't help. Carter still looks hurt.

Jets are very good, and even better at home, so it is what it is. They seem bigger and faster than LA, and they were very disciplined with their defense, so it was even harder for LA to find room.

Some good hits in this game at least. Some highlight stuff for sure, but we're really reaching when those are the two biggest things.

3 more games on this road trip...
