Game Thread: Nashville Predators @ Los Angeles Kings, 10/31 1:00 PM, FS-W

[ouendan1]

It is Halloween, and a 1pm game is scary enough without this particular day.

No changes to LA's lineup, Nashville apparently has a 5 game winning streak against the Kings. Let's change that!

Pekka Rinne to start for the Preds.

Great pass by Erhoff.... What is the story on Efhoff?

Very offensive minded D-man - He was low on that PP? He was like a 4th forward.

Kings penalty kill super sad

# 15 the temp

Not a great game from Quick. Couple of long goals with no screens. Perfect placement sure but still not his best

That's why I said AA

LOL Bailey is dressed as a Storm Trooper. After that last goal he came and started pounding on the glass

Carter an Kopi leave Doughty out to dry on the 3 on 1
Doughty somehow breaks up the pass using the midpoint of the shaft and the two coasting Kings get the puck for the win.
Sometimes you get lucky

3-on-3 can quickly turn into back and forth 2-on-1's. Someone is nearly always going to get left out to dry if both teams go with 2 forwards and 1 D. that means there is always an F on F which is never a good thing for whoever is in the D zone.

Good skater, great first pass and moves the puck quickly - always has, even when he was in SJ early in his career. He really blossomed in Vancouver where he was allowed to play an offensive game.

His shortcomings are in the defensive zone, he can make some suspect plays at times (see preseason game against Anaheim where it went into OT and he crept too low against the right board in the 3 on 3 OT, lost Perry behind him in front of Quick, then he realized it but Maroon made a great pass and Ehrhoff could not cut off the pass in time. Perry fired it home for the GW goal).

The Kings got him to replace Voynov's decision making on breakouts, which was stellar. I think Voynov was a better defender in his zone however and could have eventually become another number 1 defenseman in time.
