Quick actually made a lot of big stops, but lets in the soft goal 13 seconds into the game. I'm not going to complain about any one particular player, the whole team did not play very well.

I'm talking about Dustin "ooh, the puck is on my stick, I should shoot even though there are 4 guys between me and the net and I'm just going to put it into the goalie's chest protector anyway" Brown, Michael "I play defensive hockey so I don't have to chip in on offense so I'll just dump the puck deep and let my linemates chase it" Handzus, Jonathan "Hockey is a 60-minute game?" Quick, and Justin "I really don't do anything except take ill-advised shots" Williams. Mainly I blame today's loss on Quick for giving up that ridiculous goal 13 seconds in, but the other guys I just mentioned were all awful today. Do you think Terry Murray will bench Brown or even give him a harsh talking-to? I doubt it. And why the hell does Murray insist on playing Stoll on the point on the PP? It doesn't work!!! Put Doughty and Johnson back there together for the full two minutes and let them fire their canons with someone standing in front of the net! The power play has been abysmal for a while now but for whatever reason nothing seems to get changed. Why not continue using the same ineffective strategies? Enough venting. This team can just be really frustrating sometimes. Can the Kings call up a bunch of kids from Manchester and bench some of the guys who have been dogging it of late?

Keeping things simple usually helps a player to rediscover his game. Murray should also move him to third line so he can focus on playing this style.

The west is so close that if 15th place Anaheim "Sux" win all games in hand (like that will ever happen) We would only be 3 points over them. We are now 5th in west. If 6-11 win all games in hand we drop to 11 without having to lose a single game. Granted that doesn't take into account the games that we all play against each other. Needless to say those games are must win now. Man I hate math! I hat to say this but I did some math.

These are the forwards that will be here for the next few years. Kopitar Smyth Brown Williams Simmonds Stoll Who's going to fill the remaining spots? Frolov? How long will he be here? Richardson? I can skate really hard and fast and not be able to score...maybe if you were 8" taller and 50lbs heavier! Purcell? 180lbs soaking wet playing on the checking line? Parse? Nothing more than pure adrenaline the first few games and than flat. Lewis? Never impressed me! Lokitonov? Sounds promising but so was Purcell and Lewis, cross our fingers! Clune? The second coming is not coming. Too soon to tell players Clifford??? Holloway??? Westgarth??? Not even in an emergency players Zeiler...no way Moller...no way Gauthier...no way Meckler...no way This is why the DL can’t bring anyone up….
