@Jamesonafterawin, No! That’s why I’ve got the Internet radio feed on and I synched it with the picture. Got those announcers on mute! Nick is so much better

@DFW King, I do the same thing – can’t stand those guys. Only prob I have is that every once in a while it acts like it buffers (I have satellite internet), discovered if I reload the audio feed right way it’s back in near perfect sync. SO much better listening to Nick and Daryl . . .

@Jamesonafterawin, I know almost no camera time for the Kings. I miss Bob and Jim. And my computer isn’t close enough to my TV to listen on the internet radio. I have to settle for Versus and the Sharts announcers. At least I’m not blacked out. Go Kings GO!!!!

I think the Kings strategy is to put Niemi to sleep, make him rusty and cold, then blitz him in the 2nd.
[Reply]
Quick is keeping us in it..
Again…
C’mon boyz…get feet going..
Make sharp pases..
Neimi can be beat..
GKG

Okay not bad no damage, we just need to settle our nervousness.
Simmonds, Williams, Handzus get the puck out then think attack.
D continue to be first to the puck, and Drew play D stop the rushes for a while……
Keep it going Quicker your big, real big for us……

Who’s idea from Fox is it to have McSorley at the game? He’s the most cursed player in King’s history?!?
[Reply]
So nerve racking… I can barely watch…
[Reply]
Whoa, keep it boring Kings. It doesn’t look like it is going to be a flashy game. A low scoring win Kings, I won’t mind. But get some more shots on net! GKG!!!!
[Reply]
Great time out!!! That is coaching!!! shots were 5 to 5 after the to….S.J. has a great team…Hot goalies is the way for the Kings tonight.Also S.J. is going to get tired from all that energy shooting….

Brown and Simmonds need to get in sync with the rhythm of the game. Simmonds, especially, is an odd man rush turnover waiting to happen.
Wake up Kings!!
[Reply]
thank god for quick! please kings wake the hell up!! lets do this
[Reply]
16 shots against? That is bad for a team that prides itself on being defensive.
5 shots for? We gotta do better than that.
Quick is keeping us in the game yet again.
Brown needs to start scoring. So does zues and the rest other than the KIDS line
TM good timeout call
Go Kings Go
[Reply]
both Lundy and I agree chip ucks out and get them deep behind the SJ D and make them work, crash the net, Nemi is weak at best and will give rebounds
[Reply]
come on Kings they going to boot us in our house are we going to let them do that
get a win for the Fans..they need to celebrate a victory at home plus u need to tie the series we all believe in u can
[Reply]
Going to take some net crashing by the energy line. Stop with the Dump N Chase.
Brown and doughty need to step it up too.
Can’t have such trouble clearing your zone either.

The bad blue line call cost us a goal. The Kings look out of synch and trying to stay in certain spots on the ice. DD isn’t attacking and the defensemen are pinching as we have seen in the past. Basically we are being complelely reactive right now. The crowd here is also not as loud as the previous 2 games here.

The second is our season 20 minuets of gut check time . Then empty the tank the last 20 but man how many shots in the last 4 periods it has to stop now please slow them down.

We gotta start playing, the Sharks are all over us. When in doubt get it out….we’ll bounce back

maybe in the 2nd period we can swap to the Road White jerseys. We play 100x better than the black. BTW, I’m tired of seeing that Black shield jersey. Purple is our FOUNDATION! GO KINGS!

The Kings have comveniently set up the Sharks for their strongest period in this series. I smell a disaster coming.

Did TM use his sole timeout appropriately?

Glad we got out of that period scoreless. Hope they can make adjustments. Sharks will make mistakes sooner or later.

@Hockeysureshot, The sharks made a ton of mistakes in that period. We just made more instead of capitalizing on theirs.
[Reply]
It’s almost like they’ve been on the PK all period. Can’t expect Quick to keep them out forever even if the D is solid.
At least San Jose respects us enough to bring their A game. They’re not expecting to just skate to victory now that they got a bloody nose. Favorites still have to play, and play well. Niemi still looks shaky and I hope we can exploit that. I hope TM gets them to open things up and get a nice cushion.
Jim Fox’s beard is looking double-plus good.

This is something that you had a feeling that they will score… unfortunatly. Now go and score on sharks !

So the strategy is PK for 60?
Give them confidence, they will cycle and they will score.
