GO KINGS GO!

NBCSN has an alternate channel (at least on Directv) , so I imagine that's where it'll start.

They now say puck drop at 7:50 PT

Shore

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

Nice start. LOS ANGELES GOAL! Nick Shore

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

fight on ensuing faceoff. Clifford vs Mike brown.

 

[pete6835]

Cliffy with the beatdown

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

Quick stones Marleau

 

[pete6835]

Looked off sides, but what a save by Quick

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

defenisve lapse and Thornton evens it on a 3 on 1.

 

[Psych3man]

Muzzin, first bad play of year leads to goal

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

Muzzin, first bad play of year leads to goal

new year, same old same old. Quick probably should've made that save though

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

Brown might've gotten away with one

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

penalty on us for a Sharks player skating into Ehrhoff and falling down. They're up 2-1 at 1st intermission

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

not getting very many shots through

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

3-1. Muzzin turns it over, they get possession, eventually scores

 

[pete6835]

We had fresh men on the ice against a tired San Jose team, and Muzzin just shoots it instead od passes it - WTF

Then whiffs on a pass from Gaborik in the defensive zone and you know what happens next...

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

Well this is embarrassing

 

[pete6835]

Muzzin on the PP is embarrassing
