Kings 1, Canucks 0

After a Canucks-heavy start to the game, the Kings managed to score the first goal. Drew Doughty pinched down deep in the Vancouver zone, and his attempt to get the puck to the front of the net got deflected, but it got deflected right onto the stick of Kyle Clifford, who shot and scored from near the middle of the left circle to give the Kings a 1-0 lead with 6:51 remaining in the first period.

    Kings scored on their first legitimate offensive attack. That’s a very good sign, friends.

    @Capt Jam, First offensive attack 13 minutes into the game is not a very good sign though

    @CB14,

    Unfortunately it’s not exactly atypical of this team, so I’m sure they’re more than comfortable with it to a certain degree.

    @Capt Jam,

    All I can say is:
    –Remember Miss Turkey!

    The goal was even more gorgeous, however…

    @Capt Jam,

    That was my dream at the beginning of the year.
    Kinda got lost near the season halfway point…

    Have to win them all, though…

    Looks like Doughty really doesn’t like Vancouver.

    I swear before that goal there were some nervous fans in here who I know and like seeing these negative things in the kings play tonight that simply did not exist.. I’m not promising a win, but hey the nucks been to the box twice and a goal down..

    And we drew 1st blood…

    @jess, In my best Stallone voice, “They drew first blood”. They being the Kings of course.

    Could be worse. You could be listening to the Canucks broadcast. They call half the guys be their first names, so annoying. Maybe the Sedins but not Tanner Glass. Other than that, enjoyed the first

    @dmh012, I think they’re talking about some guy named Chris Tanev. Tanner Glass isn’t playing tonight.

  12. Harty says:

    why is it guys like Clifford, Richardson, Lewis, etc works their butts off and draw a penalty by moving thier feet and then we go on the pp and we play people like Zues, Smyth, Penner, slow, slow, slow. We just cannot take away the attack with these slow players. Let those creating the opportunities play the pp.
