Relevant Game Information

I think everyone should one day check out a game in Nashville, it's really cool. If the Kings lose tonight, someone else make the GDT tomorrow, 1 road win in 8 games in unacceptable.

Strange as last year they were better on the road (esp in the PO)

 

[ouendan1]

Actually last year their home and road records were identical in the regular season, 23-14-4

I guess Sutter is saving Quick for Minnesota tomorrow night. So far it looks like a good road game start for the Kings but it is rather early. And as I type this they have a complete defensive breakdown and they are once again behind early on and have to try and come back. Not their forte so far on the road.

OK. Now it's a new game again. Good offensive push by McBain but I still wish he was better on the defensive side of the puck.

Gabby!

Nice feed from Carter to set him loose. More importantly was the shift after the goal. Kings didn't give the Predators any chance to answer back.

That was a great pass and finish for sure

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Kings are really getting hung up in their own end a lot this game. Those 2 penalty kills were spend almost entirely in the Kings defensive zone. Predators are really forechecking the heck out of the Kings.

2 goals in 52 seconds at the end of the 2nd is disappointing

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

And twice inside of a minute the Predators forecheck scores to give them the lead. Kings had better come up with something in the 3rd period to slow down their forecheck or it's going to turn into a blowout.

Kings tied to (semi) start the third.

Doughty ties it up early in the 3rd. His Paul Coffey imitation finally worked. End-to-end unassisted.

Unfortunately I'm at work so I can't watch the game, was it similar to Doughty's end-to-end rush in game 2 of the SCF against the Devils in 2012?

You want me to remember a play from 2 years ago? I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night but I'm guessing it was pretty similar. From deep in the Kings end up through the neutral zone between a couple of defenders and a shot that beat Rinne.

Objectively, Ox, Muzzin has had a HORRIBLE game. Mistakes galore--on defense, 5:5 and especially on PP.
This guy makes $4M?!? Hope he has a helluva playoff

 

[davnlaguna]

A point

Kings get a point

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Yeah pretty similar to that one except he went up the left side of the ice and not the right side as he did against New Jersey.

I don't think he's making $4M yet. That doesn't kick in until next year if I'm not mistaken. Of course I could be wrong as time all seems to run together here lately.
