The Kings outshot the Coyotes 10-6 in the first period, and got the better of the offensive chances, but Phoenix goalie Ilya Bryzgalov looked sharp and each team failed to score on one power-play opportunity.

@K-Dog, Maybe not Murray, but definitely Kompon.

I have a good feeling about this one. Haven’t had this feeling in weeks.

@xeropoint, I hear what you’re saying. I was just telling my buddy that I don’t have any real reason, but I just feel good about tonight.
[Reply]
Did Loktionov get injured from that big hit he took on the power play? He cane off the ice earlier than everyone else and he didn’t go out at the end of the 1st with Kopi and Brown, Handzus did. Hope he’s ok

@CB14, I think he was. That was the first time I have ever seen him hit. It wasn’t that hard of an nhl hit, but Lokti is small. Wasn’t he hurt last year in his first game after a hit?
[Reply]
CB14 Reply:
January 20th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
@kylecliffordfan, yeah i think you’re right
[Reply]
I think Lokti got hurt after being checked on that power play. Williams came out and played a bit with the first unit after the check and then Hanz took a shift with the #1 line. Rich any news?
Too bad, because the Kid actually looked good in the first.
The whole team looked really good.

@CB14, LOL..
I have to give the Kid props, earlier in the year he would have shyed away from a hit like that, but tonight he tried to make a play. It’s too bad he looks like he got injured.

@kylecliffordfan, I hate to say I told you so however earlier blog today I suggested Lotki size is not at this level, he’s creative and very fast and skilled however these guys are good and strong, he just has to stay out of traffic
Hope he’s okay but he will fight this fact his entire career unless he bulks up somewhat
kylecliffordfan Reply:
January 20th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
@Harty,
I have been saying it with you and everyone on here gives both of us a hard time. Skill can’t be all you bring in this sport, it still is a contact game.
I hope he is ok..
CB14 Reply:
January 20th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
@kylecliffordfan, yeah he did hang in there pretty long, lets just hope for the best because he’s been our best player so far tonight.
CB14 Reply:
January 20th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
@kylecliffordfan, YES, he’s back out there!!!

January 20th, 2011 at 9:02 pm
@kylecliffordfan, And it was Derek Morris that laid out Lokti. Morris isn’t exactly thick and he’s not known for playing heavy. Lokti keeps getting dropped but keeps popping back up. good for him. He reminds me of Yachmenev.
[Reply]
First time in a long while the team looked that good and playing with the desparation they need. Will they do it for 60?
[Reply]
crap i hope lokti is alright.. we have the fragile hockey players thats for sure
[Reply]
wow on that slo-mo of that hip check doughty is lucky he didnt get a skate up in his face

You guys are getting all excited, and guess what? They still didnt score! All it will take is for the Yotes to score the games 1st goal and that will put the Kings to bed, and the rest of you for the night !

@puck73,
Yeah I hear ya I have become the enemy to the cheerleaders on here myself so just tonight, having a decent glass of red, burning meat with quality fire and trying to cheer my only sports team besides greenbay on in my entire lifetime.
Lokti is out there on the ice.
[Reply]
puck movement on pp way better.
[Reply]
Predators just did the Kings a huge favor by beating 8th place Colorado in regulation 5 to 1.
Of course that means Nashville is now 9 points ahead of the Kings, how is this possible?
[Reply]
Nearly 23 minutes into the game and we finally have a Kopitar sighting.
[Reply]
I know people are saying Loki is too small but, St.Louis is 5-8 176 : Briere is 5-10 179. Loki is 5-10 180 although i will say that he probably doesn’t have as much muscle mass as those other two although that doesn’t help you when you get checked hard.
[Reply]
Damn Loki was open for a pass on Kopis last shot, easy tip it
[Reply]
man lewis, clifford line doing well
[Reply]
NICE MOVE CLIFFY!!
[Reply]
Great shift by Lewis,Clifford and Simmons
[Reply]
LOVING the Clifford-Lewis-Simmonds line. They’re getting to the net and drawing the PPs. That’s what we need.

bryzgalov is playing too good… kings are getting traffic in front too

we need a goal
[Reply]
So our 3rd line is drawing penalties…but the first 2 lines are doing what exactly???
[Reply]
wow doughty, please do that every period a few times.. i will love you long time
[Reply]
3 pp chances and still a big fat zero…I’m still waiting Kompon………….
[Reply]
no goal
[Reply]
Wow. Freaking typical. Wow.
[Reply]
the ref needs to see that and call no goal..pretty obvious
[Reply]
NO GOAL
[Reply]
this will not be a goal

That ice level camera showed it clearly above the crossbar.

Toronto hates us….this may be a goal

Are they blind; it’s SO obvious!
The league wants to destroy us!

You can go to sleep now Kings fans, and when you wake up you can read what a heavy game it was from your fearless leader TM.

Game over. Typical Kings game.

THERE goes the game

WOW oh no…..

Why is Westgarth on the ice???

Not again, 0-2 in just less than 2 min…. when this will stop????

Hey Lombardi, how did that taste buddy ! 2 zilch now !
[Reply]
Double oh no triple double oh no
WHAT IS HAPPENING??
[Reply]
Pretty sure our confidence was shattered on that first goal. Second goal was Phoenix smelling blood in the water and capitalizing.
This is where you hope your guys can pull together and fight back. Honestly though, I dont know that we will.
[Reply]
I’m very impressed by this team…not.
[Reply]
Westgarth!!!! You’re the man! thanks for that brilliant pass to phoenix. Good Lord you’ve got some serious skills buddy!
[Reply]
Here we go again, this is getting bloody ridiculous!
[Reply]
Let the hating on Westgarth recommence. Oh and &%$# you Toronto!!

ok murray needs to be fired.. After a huge break he puts the 4th line out there to screw everything up and get scored on. Hey murray do you want to win you retard.. Play your best lines and quit screwing around ruining our season..

Well the video replay goal just summed up how the Kings season has been going lately………..on that second goal that was a nice pass by Westgarth to the other team to start them on the break……wow this is unreal.
[Reply]
One word GARBAGE. Toronto needs to get there heads out of there bums they’ve been hating on us all year.
