End of first: 0-0

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.

    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 meant to say came not cane, this blog needs spell check

    kylecliffordfan Reply:

    @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?

    @kylecliffordfan, yeah i think you’re right

    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.

    kylecliffordfan Reply:

    @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:

    @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:

    @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:

    @kylecliffordfan, YES, he’s back out there!!!

    Kenny44 Reply:

    @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.

    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?

  13. CB14 says:

    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.

    Pretty sure our confidence was shattered on that first goal. Second goal was Phoenix smelling blood in the water and capitalizing.
