Shots on goal were 14-3 in favor of the Sharks in the first period. Things got testy late in the period, as San Jose’s Ian White smashed his head into the boards after a hit from Jarret Stoll. That resulted in a fight between Kyle Clifford and Ben Eager, followed by a shift in which San Jose’s Douglas Murray made several attacks to hit Justin Williams in the shoulder, leading to some post-horn words between Murray and Kevin Westgarth.

Call up Schenn now because Stoll is going to be gone for a couple of games. Just as I thought, that first goal was Penner’s fault. keep your head up man.

@Bluecoconuts, If Stoll is gone, Chara should be gone much longer. His antics against Montreal tonight were thuggish to say the least. If Stoll gets suspended and Chara doesn’t then the league is blind (we know they are). Chara already owes a few games for the dirty play against Montreal in the reagular season.
So much for the faceoffs if Stoll goes.

Watched the whole Habs vs. Bruins game and absolutely no fighting or anything. And now THIS!!? Not pleasant to watch. Rather than hit hard, it would behove the Kings to see if they can get more than 3 shots on goal. They’re fortunate it isn’t looking like the last game in SJ.

@number 6, What do you expect when the Head Coach plays a fighter over a skilled forward. He’s practically telling the team to play big, hard, and heavy rather than do something offensively.
P.S. I’m sorry if I offended you with my response to your post last night. I read some of your earlier comments from today and I could see that I pissed you off. That wasn’t what I was trying to do. It just seemed to me like you were telling people to stop questioning weather or not he was going to be called up or not. (You were right BTW) I was just trying to say let people discuss it freely. Then I re-read your post and saw that you probably meant it a different way. Didn’t mean to piss you off and I’m sorry that I did.

Considering Stoll did this recently, they might just suspend him. Exactly the wrong hit -even if he can play it off like it was an accident (It might have been, but it doesn’t matter). We lose another 20 goal guy and another centerman?
Do we have a single capable centerman in the AHL?
If he doesn’t get suspended, someone really wants us to win.
[Reply]
Penner was off for a skate when the goal was scored, later made a ridiculously bad pass on the PP, missing a wide-open teammate… how can he be this bad?
Quick as always giving heart palpitations anytime he handles the puck.
Not a bad period but the forecheck needs to stronger and quicker… oh, and when you do finally GET a clear shot at the goal – get it ON goal!

The game is turning, slowly, but surely. The Kings have already slowed the Sharks down, kept the game close, and made some physical statements. Just like all year and last year, second period we come out better and turn the tide, then hold them off better and better, finishing strong. Maybe just alittle faith for your team, people, it won’t kill ya.

You bet the Kings are hanging in there. Get that goal back Kings! Come out strong in the 2nd! GKG!!!!!

TM won’t call anyone up if stoll is suspended. Moller will be put in and westy will stay in the lineup.. In other words this will not improve us offensively.

@Alanj21, True words. Offensive powerhouse we are. Moller < Dirt < Stoll

@Alanj21, There is no one in the minors who would help.

could someone tell the main cameraman at the shark tank we would like to see the puck, he is sooo wide it looks like he is shooting from a blimp cam. Tighten up the camera.

@Kinguy Josh, According to Murray, an attempted shot is good too…

I use this blog to vent and so does most other people. We need an outlet. We are kings fans. I know I am. GkG

@OC Hip Check, Thanks for your misspelled perspective. Now please review tapes on prior dirty hits. You may just find Stoll’s was nowhere near long suspension material.

Maybe Boyle will score for us like he did last year…

@TiredOfIt,
Amen. TM should say to DP “Give me one reason why I shouldn’t put a blow-up doll out there instead of you?”
Personally, I can’t think of a reason.
[Reply]
How ironic if Stoll gets the game winner and then gets suspended.
[Reply]
“4 on 2… simmons shoots!… wide..”
[Reply]
Shots? What shots? Does this team know where the net is? Not
[Reply]
For the love of……4 on 2???
[Reply]
We’re so terrible at odd-man breaks…..and then getting back on D. Ughhh
[Reply]
kings playing well… tide is turning?

Decline the penalty and just say they’ll take a faceoff in the Sharks zone.

18 shots to 3 kings shots… wow, pathetic

@jason, that could work for us if we decide to shooting again..
[Reply]
Ok, third time’s a charm. The Kings will……..have a SOG on this one.
[Reply]
PP#3? Shots please
[Reply]
Oh scary, here comes another King’s Power(less) play. 4 shots so far in the game….how is that possible? I thought shooting the puck and some offense was sort of important.
[Reply]
Here we go pp… O wait
[Reply]
Stoll? Really?
[Reply]
i’m starting to think it’s better if we just get swept so we can fire kompon right after the last game..

What’s happened to Simmons’ game? He’s played well all season right thru the games where he had those couple of great wrist shots right in the slot. After that, he hasn’t done much…doesn’t seem to be skating well, making good passes, or getting good scoring chances. He’s another one that needs to pick up his game. Just my opinion…
