2)Just before the tying goal, Raymond and Glencross has great chances (both fanned) due to Kings defensive soft plays.
3)Letting Gaudreau skate right through the middle of two forwards, and then behind a defenseman at the blue line (and a a great pass by Hudler) on the tying goal.
4)The 2-0 in the the OT, only two good saves by Quick prevented a 4 goal game by JG....if JG only could've gotten a bit further from Hudler.
5)Seconds later, Gio's rush. McBain gave Gio way to much room width wise, and then when Gio cut in, McBain didn't come down far enough to cut him off or even touch him. Carter couldn't hold the back check, likely expecting McBain to get a piece of Gio, Quick let it slide under his stick and Martinez played it soft too as Gio cut across. Gio wanted it much much more,and only a few defenseman would have the guts to do that in that situation.

So many amazing points, thanks for contributing to this thread.
L.A is a crap team anyways, not like they've done much lately. You're right, such a soft team.
