Holy smokes if you can’t enjoy a win in a game like that you need to stop watching hockey. I think everyone in here is sick of the negativity. We had 7 games to get it out. Piss off and go whine in one of the other threads.
Really annoying being excited after a win and coming here to read half the fans taking a crap on the team, especially considering that’s all we’ve been reading for weeks now.

I know we don’t like to question the coach around here but what the hecks he smoking? I want some of that Viking, AB good stuff. Mans lost his mind in the whiskey.

I get that Markstrom hasn’t been brilliant this season. Well, he looked like his old self last game against WPG. Anyway, I feel he didn’t have much chance on nearly every GA tonight. Most goals were top shelf or off the pipe. Ol’ fashioned puck luck for LA. Or was it? They have some serious snipers man. That second goal hurt, but that one caught everyone off guard, even the goal scorer!
Not Marky’s best game, but he showed up big in the end. Just enjoy the extremely important division W.

Oh well, can’t win them all. Sucks that Markstrom lost us the game and the 4th line played the entire game while Huberdeau was benched for pooping again. Nightmare season continues!

Markstrom almost went full Petersen. Then of course the guy they say is struggling in the pregame scores on us.

Huberdeau always scores vs the Kings. It's insane

Accidental pump fake lol

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but we've allowed the first goal of the game in under 5 shots on net.
Quote:
Saved the first shot on goal, that's usually a good sign
Quote:
Just leave the slot wide open. What could go wrong?
Quote:
Of course the Kings are gonna be the team to get Huberdeau going again, horrible coverage there

Always a tough game on the road. I expect Calgary to pick it up soon since Sutter isn't near his usual shelf life.

I f***en hate the Flames even without the POS traded away. Just win I don't care how ugly.

Imagine going in the corner for a puck retrieval and you look over your shoulder and see Lucic’s Neanderthal ass coming behind you at full speed
Mangiapane ties it up

That second goal is gonna be a dang it. Everyone decided to stop playing defense with the puck bouncing right through the slot.

I’d take a bag of used pucks for Edler at this point

that's on fiala for sure but holy #### where is durzi looking and where is roy going?
Ritchie Rich
Quote:
Didn’t know you could take out the goalie while the puck is still sliding in
Quote:
3 goals on 7 shots. #### my life
Quote:
Typical Quick start. At least two of them are 100% on our defense. Probably all 3. This team hates Quickie. Always have.
Quote:
Is allowing 3 goals on 7 shots considered bad?
Quote:
Fiala could’ve done better there I feel
Quote:
Good lord how did we #### that defensive sequence up so badly?
Quote:
You're asking how we, the Kings, ####ed up a defensive sequence? Atrocious defense is like our whole deal.
Quote:
Yeah this was basically par for the course. Fail to clear + defensive breakdown right in front of Quick = goal against
Quote:
forget defense anyway. That ####s for losers
Quote:
It’s going to be a no defense night I guess
Quote:
This game has all the feels of a 7-4 loss. We were obviously not prepared defensively, which has been the case more often than not this season.

For every 1 good game, Durzi has 2-3 bad ones. Two goals have resulted because of him pinching.

Bad defense but Quick getting stroked like crazy right now. Dudes just letting everything in right now. No big saves and bad defense. Brutal game.
Tmac SO GOOD

Mr Ed needs to go to the glue factory

at least help your goalie ffs
Quote:
Defensive issues or not, 2 on 1s are going to happen and the goalie can't be that far out of his crease challenging the shooter. Any pass is a wide open net for the shooter.
Quote:
Yeah. Quicks positioning was pure dog#### on the play.. that's on Quick, I think he got a bit too excited..

Roy was in no man’s land there. Durzi has a habit of taking himself out of a play.
Lindholm with the PPG

WHAAAT THEEEE FFFFFUUUU......

Ok, I’m gonna call it a night. I know these Kings can come back from this, but I’m in too good a mood to watch them not. They scored twice when I wasn’t looking and all the Flames goals have been while I was watching so call me a little stitious, good luck y’all, I’m gonna watch Breaking Bad

Edler nowhere to be seen . Oh my god look at him! Dudes near the blue line oh my god what the f*** man

Man, I hope kings trade for a defenseman or two. Don’t get me wrong, forwards have made some sloppy and lazy plays, but it feels like the defense has plagued the kings all year.
Quote:
Oh Durzi. Turnover and let your man out muscle you. Brutal.
Quote:
Durzi carried the puck into trouble. It should never have come to that. Refs get in the way...you just gotta deal with it
Ruzicka’s Game Winner
Quote:
Cut them some slack. It's hard to remember you have to play defense and offense at the same time in the NHL. Most of our skaters just want to go brrrrr and forget they have to backcheck and clear pucks. Totally understandable.
Quote:
Bro Edler sucks so ####ing bad it's actually criminal. Lock this mfer up for crimes against basic defensive structure.
Quote:
If there is a game that will make me hate Tmac even more than I already do, it's having his team this utterly unprepared against a Darryl f******* Sutter coached team. Makes me feel reassured about the decision to jettison our only Stanley cup winning coach for this clown.

Edler falling down after running into the net is one of the funniest hockey moments I've ever seen

What the f*** is going on? Where was the LD?

Quick getting sassy. lol

whooo boy
roy/durzi really been a f***in disaster tonight
durzi pinching every chance he gets when clearly the instruction during the timeout was to dump and chase, roy with... that.

If only the kings didn’t let the flames score so many 2-1s :eyeroll:

Entertaining hockey gets you new fans & a .500 record. Good hockey gets you to the playoffs.

By god. That chance Kopi had in the dying minute, goes in like 90% of the time. We definitely deserved a point from that game, and I still can’t believe Markstrom saved that. ####.
We could be watching OT rn if it wasn’t for Marky smh
#### game defensively, but don’t care to comment on why or what because everybody watched that #### Lmfao. GG flames. We will pick it back up next game. Watch us come out swinging
Quote:
Well folks, not that it hasn't been fun, but I'm gonna do something else. Years of Darryl Sutter 2-1 hockey haven't prepared me for blow outs in this new era.

Think im just gonna go back to watching clown porn
Quote:
Oh I didn't know the Oilers played today
Quote:
This is quite the score fest.
Quote:
LA looks terrible defensively. I think they gave up 10 Grade A chances in the second period alone.
Watch them shut us out next.
Quote:
They got exposed defensively and especially on the transition.
Oilers shouldnt have a problem generating chances if their forwards show up to play hockey.
Quote:
Huberdeau is like, I'm leaving if we don't start playing like I did in Florida
Quote:
Sutter about to have a stroke.
Quote:
I am watching this Flames LA game and thinking the Oilers are not quite as bad as I thought they were defensively.
This game is goaltending and defense optional.
DO NOT PICK THE UNDER!

Cassie and Hrudey know a thing or two about polishing turds in Calgary, if that’s ever a concern

5 on 11 isn’t better. Chasing Campbells stats
Quote:
Good thing the Kings are laying an egg in this one so that they are motivated to be sharp for our game.
Quote:
Well at least this game is likely to end in regulation.
I'm sure Quick will transform into prime Jonathan Quick just in time for our game Wednesday.

Every King has at least one goal against.

Well most of that has to do with PP time. PP2 had 1:52 of ice time, meanwhile PP1 had 1:06, but Kdari changed early and got only 0:47. The reason for PP1 getting less ice time seemed to be that the first line was on the ice when the Kings took their penalties, so we ended up starting PP2. In addition Backlund, Lindholm, and Lewis got over a min of SH time, meanwhile Kadri and Huberdeau don't kill penalties.
As for average line time 5 on 5 they were pretty even:
Huberdeau - Backlund - Lewis 11:40
Coleman - Dube - Ritchie 11:01
Ruzicka - Lindholm - Toffoli 10:21
Lucic - Kadri - Mangiapane 9:43

yep, sometimes people need to step back from the ledge and actually look at what is going on out there.
Like the game against Boston when people were freaking out about Ritchie being on the ice in the final two minutes of a 2-1 game!
The reality of it was he came out of the penalty box and setup an odd man rush and then went directly off.
Well Markstrom did stop the first and the last shot in the game. That's an improvement.
Not to continue on the negativity train, but there are some fundamental issues with Markstrom's play that get taught and harped on even at the peewee level.
Goal #2 he didn't hold his post. Inexcusable.
Goal #4 wasn't at the top of his crease or beyond.
One more goal I can't remember which. You need to have your glove in the air with your elbow tucked tight.
For all the short leash that seemingly every other player is getting from Sutter there are three mistakes by Markstrom which should have him watching the next game.
He made one real save all night. The team won tonight in spite of him.

Let's not forget that LA was a playoff team last year. Need wins against these types of teams and this is a big win early in the season. You either go 2-7 or 1-8 as a record and most would prefer the former.
Shout out to Tanev, Backlund, and Ruzicka for two in a row solid games. Shout out to Mang for potting one too.
Need Huberdeau and Dube to get hot then this team is cooking with gas.
This team is just not impressive. There is a profound lack of toughness or compete. They are simply very bad in third periods. There is very little chemistry in any area, except for sometimes on the offensive side of things. It's just a disorganized group that does not play very hard and lacks mental toughness. Really really concerning. Nothing resembling an identity.
they have chemistry and were good tonight, we can't expect good terms to lay down and die without any pushback? we could have had a couple more goals.
Win is all that matters 6-5 or 6-3

Markstrom is lucky you can’t buyout a player during the regular season. He’s awful right now and I think this team would be better with Vladar and Wolfe.
Hahahaha! What?

Ugly win. On one hand Markstrom was terrible once again. On the other hand he did make the game sealing save at the end of the game. Not a win you feel great about but two points is all that counts and hope that goaltending improves going forward as it's just not good enough. Also Lewis needed to do something more with that open net opportunity.
he was terrible ? bit of a hot take, 1 goal he would like to have back, that was pretty fast turn and shoot on the rebound

However this team lacks chemistry in spades. Should THIS team make the playoffs, they are not poised to perform well.
We need a high-performing RW that can play with Hubs. We need goaltending.
We need chemistry.
Salute.
