Mistakes on defense will kill you. More goals are scored off those than off end-to-end rushes.

Still leading after 2 periods
Not the worst thing

 

[davnlaguna]

What is it with the first and last minute of periods? And don't get me started on the 2 minutes after the Kings score

Deja vu

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

And here starts the breakdown. Couldn't hold a 1-goal lead in the 3rd against Florida and now they're trying to give up a 2-goal lead.

How was that not interference on Fippula taking out Stoll

 

[smackdown380]

Wow what a play by Drew

 

[smackdown380]

Wow what a series!

 

[pete6835]

J-Wil x2

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

I'm wondering if the Kings will even try to score in this 3rd period. Well I guess they will. Thank you Justin Williams.

TB goalie napping
Thank you

Just before the goal Muzzin gets caught flat footed and Drew has to come back and break the play up. That goal by J-Wil does not happen without Drew on the backend cleaning things up.

was going to mention this. Drew may not have gotten an assist on that play, but his defense was amazing on that shift, both on the 2-on-1 and he made a great poke check shortly after.

Doughty has been the best player on the ice. Don't know if he'll get the no. 1 star but he deserves it.

Is this what a win feels like?

Absolutely, guy was a beast. Huge win for the Kings and hopefully a momentum shift.

Nice win boys.

 

[ouendan1]

Feels kind of dirty

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Not quite the same as winning the Cup but after such a long dry spell it sure feels nice. Shame on me for thinking they were going to blow another on in the 3rd period after the Lightning scored that early goal to make it 3-2.

I was right there with you Ox, thinking this cannot happen again can it?
