The Kings and Anaheim Ducks are back at it tonight, with all the action on Fox Sports West and on 1150-AM and affiliates, and with all the game updates here as well…
THIRD PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Quick vs. Ellis.
Game delayed: The start of the third period was delayed because of a lightning malfunction at Honda Center. The period started after a 17-minute delay.
Kings 3, Ducks 1: The Kings took a two-goal lead with a power-play goal 2:45 into the third period. Slava Voynov pinched down to the left side of the net and Simon Gagne fed a pass through traffic. Voynov whacked at the puck from close range and scored to give the Kings a 3-1 lead. Dustin Brown also got an assist.
Kings 3, Ducks 2: Corey Perry’s power-play goal pulled the Ducks within 3-2 at the 8:24 mark. Ryan Getzlaf took a shot and Perry was allowed to park to the right of the net. The puck deflected off Perry’s body, directly in front of Quick, and trickled across the line.
Kings 3, Ducks 3: The Ducks kept the pressure on, and tied the game with 6:25 remaining in the third, on Cogliano’s second goal of the game. Luca Sbisa shot through heavy traffic, and Cogliano deflected the puck past Quick to make it a 3-3 game. Teemu Selanne also got an assist.
Kings 4, Ducks 3: The Kings got the lead back with 3:01 remaining in regulation. Kopitar took the puck to the net and Ellis made a save, but Kopitar picked up his own rebound and scored on a wraparound to give the Kings a 4-3 lead. Justin Williams and Rob Scuderi got assists.
Kings 5, Ducks 3: On the power play, trailing by a goal, the Ducks pulled Ellis with 1:50 remaining. Shortly thereafter, Mike Richards controlled the puck and fired a shot into an empty Anaheim net from approximately 140 feet away to give the Kings a 5-3 lead.
SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Quick vs. Ellis.
Kings 1, Ducks 0: Mike Richards broke the scoreless tie 1:54 into the second period. Richards took a short pass from Andrei Loktionov and found some space in the middle of the ice. Richards went to the net with Anaheim defensman Kurtis Foster, then whipped a backhand shot past Ellis from the right circle to give the Kings a 1-0 lead. Slava Voynov also got an assist.
Kings 1, Ducks 1: The Kings’ lead lasted just more than two minutes, as the Ducks tied the game 1-1 at the 3:19 mark. Teemu Selanne attempted a wraparound shot, which got deflected by Saku Koivu in front of the net, right onto the stick of Andrew Cogliano to the right of the net. Cogliano, unmarked, shot the puck into an open net before Quick could slide across.
Kings 2, Ducks 1: Simon Gagne’s shorthanded goal gave the Kings the lead back at the 7:28 mark. Gagne picked up the puck in the neutral zone and went in alone against Ellis. Gagne started wide right, then cut to the front of the net and tucked the puck around Ellis to give the Kings a 2-1 lead with his unassisted goal. It was the Kings’ first shorthanded goal of the season.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Ducks 13-11 in the second period. The Kings went 0-for-1 on the power play and 1-for-1 on the penalty kill and scored a shorthanded goal.
FIRST PERIOD
In goal: It’s the Kings’ Jonathan Quick against the Ducks’ Dan Ellis.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Ducks 14-13 in the first period, but neither team controlled play for long stretches. Jonathan Quick made a handful of great saves, including point-blank saves on Bobby Ryan (eight minutes in) and Andrew Cogliano (in the final minute). The Kings went 1-for-1 on the penalty kill and did not have a power play.
LGMFK!!

@Waxieman, The people in the row in front of me would not sit down when the puck was in play and we all started yelling at them. The yelling got pretty intense so my friend tried to calm me down. After we calmed me down, he got punched and then I smacked the guy’s hat in his face and got punched straight in the nose. Food went flying everywhere and got all over my jersey (including blood). Later, they put me in cuffs because I was the aggressor, but we agreed to not press charges on each other. So I just got thrown out.
How did you know I got cheese in my hair?

@King Alex, I’ve seen it happen there, and it wasn’t pretty. The Duck fan was wearing a white sweater and was sitting with his little kid right on the glass in the corner. A player tried to clear the puck from inside the far blue line. It floated just above the top of the glass for the length of the rink and then dropped down SMACK, right in the forehead. Kid ran to get the puck, then turned around to see dad’s sweater wasn’t all white anymore. I heard the tally was 40 something stitches and a concussion.

CB14 Reply:
November 17th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
@Deke’r, I would’ve rather seen Bernier in net tonight, but that’s not because I think he’s better than Quick. There’s no doubt in my mind that Quick is better, it’s just that when you have a capable back-up goaltender and are playing in back to back games, you play the back-up goalie. At least that’s my opinion on things. Also, you can’t say it was a good choice or a bad choice until after the Detroit game. That’ll be 3 games in 4 nights for Quick, that’s asking alot from a goalie. Especially when you have a very capable back-up like Bernier.

Wow the boys are looking a little lazy defensively

Kings have come out pretty flat in the 1st. Must have been the travel. Quick is saving them like Hiller was saving the Quacks last night. Will we ever see a 5 on 5 goal again?

They need to go to the net more. We have been taking most of our shots from far out and outside the dots. That will help us draw some penalties too.
[Reply]
TM lines ahead of time; “Well, it’s the new NHL. everybody’s having a hard time scoring. Just look at Pittsburgh, the Flyers, Chicago, Boston. No one can seem to score, so I don’t feel responsible for any lack of scoring on our part, no. We’re doing all the right things. We got 13 shots in the first against the 17th best defensive team there, and their back up goalie. Real shot mentality. I liked it.”

@jess, Yeah, we should be setting you VV for the one-timer on top of the umbrella instead of Stoll. Stoll needs to slide down and shoot more from the top of the circle (like where Stamkos scores a million goals from). I’d rather see Stoll taking that one timer from the top of the circle for VV taking it from the blueline.

Much better 2nd period, one more to go…
[Reply]
Not a bad 2nd period. Brown is playing like the Brown we all know and love. And I think Richardson is playing great out there — I don’t think there is a reason he should be in our “scratched” rotation, he is just to good.
We really need to fix our 2nd PP unit (I think Lokti could help here), but other then that, Quick is playing great and our D looks fair to good.
If the Kings keep these D pairings goings — I think it’s safe to say that the Kings have the most mobile or offensively threatening top 4 Dmen in the NHL.

No idea. The “Big Body” in front is no reason to have EM on the PP. It should be VV on top, Stoll on the left side (for the one timer), Lokti on the right (to set up Stoll and VV) and Gagne/Williams down around thet net. Set up the one-timer, get the rebound.

@jlium, Love the way the Kings took back the game after it was tied. But we have a disturbing trend developing. Last 3 games, they’ve had control through 2 periods, then back off in the third and let opponent get back in the game. Kings have already blown 5 third period leads in only 19 games this year. Prevent defense is one thing, but you can’t get too passive for too long out there.

OH MAN DID WE DODGE THAT BULLET! First of all I think anyone that is enamored with Lokti after this game should have their eyes checked. He looked way overmatched against Perry/Getzlaf and he made that bad turn over in the middle of the ice trying to go between the legs w/ a puck. Eventually that turnover led to that 3rd tying goal. I”ll take Penner over that performance. geesh
[Reply]
PP Anybody? Reply:
November 17th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
@JB, Agreed on the mismatch, but that is a tall order. Honestly, I just didn’t like TM’s call of trying to go up against them with Lokti’s line. Brownie is the biggest guy on that line, and that is stretching it. Should’ve tried going with Kopi’s line more. I know the Ducks got the last change, but it seemed like Murray was trying to get his 2nd “stopper line” against them.
Also, I thought the fourth line was very effective, especially Fraser. I would’ve liked to see more ice time for those guys all game. They never were in trouble defensively, and had good offensive zone pressure when they got their turn.

Good character win for the Kings. Got to give the Ducks credit for keeping up and tying the affair twice. Really like how the Kings are playing a more wide open offensive attack with the defense really standing up and pinching in when they have the chance. Nice goals by Kopitar,Gagne,Richards(2X) and Voynov my new Kings favorite player amongst at least 20 of them on this current crew…Can hardly wait for Loktionov to start clicking with Richards and Brown…

@andy,
I disagree with the stand up d. When I watch I feel like they give the offense the blue line every time and then a 3rd man or drop pass exposes them and Quick bails them out. I think they need to stand up more at the line. Jut an opinion though. The last few games when the quacks tied it up I was worried but they have really showed they can power through it.

Kopi is a mans man! Boss. Richards way to be a duck killer

If management sends down Loki and VV, and put Penner back in…. oh boy. I bet that is exactly what happens though.

[Reply]
Funny game tonight. Had both what I love and what I dislike in one game. Great individual performances by Quick, Kopi, Gagne, and Richards, yet typical game management gaffs by Murray and staff. Going into a defensive shell was a bad call last night, and again tonight. I don’t know what it will take for this team to keep the pedal down and actually keep going for the win, instead of trying not to lose, other than perhaps someone else behind the helm. If not for Kopi taking this game back by himself, this probably would’ve been another shootout.
Anyways, nice to see them get the win regardless, and nice to see them put in some goals. Hopefully this team can find the balance it needs, and learn how to really put teams away as the season goes along.

@SpencerMaze, it could mean little. With DD and JJ maturing and getting comfortable with stayin solid defensively, and Mitchell UFA this year, they may look at DD-JJ for a permanent top pairing with Scuderi-Voynov second and Greene-Martinez third. That also gives us four Mobile Quarterbacks for the powerplay, consider these PP units for full time next year:
Kopi-Richards-Brown-Doughty-Johnson
Gagne-Lokti-Williams-Voynov-Martinez
Pretty sure that power play would steamroll everything in their path.

VV has looked better than DD in every game he has played. If you knew nothing about the Kings except one of them just signed a 7 million a year contract, you wouldn’t guess it was DD. The DD, JJ pairing is a little sketchy. The first goal the ducks scored JJ and Stoll were following around the puck likes chickens.

He is a very genuine, good man. Everytime I’ve stopped him to say hello, he stops & talks to me for a minute. He may not know as much about hockey as you all do, but he tries hard, he does follow the sport, & he LOVES the Kings. He’s a good family man, too.

It’s a personal preference. He does know a lot about the Kings, and has paid his dues and worked really hard to support the Kings for years now. He’s definately put in his share of time with the Kings, and at the very least has earned my respect, and admiration for a thankless job, and for his dedication to this organization.
Call me old fashioned, but loyalty counts, and he’s stuck it out by the Kings side for some not so wonderful years, and with some great years to look forward too coming up, I would feel cheated if he wasn’t here to enjoy them with us.
Just want to put my support in for a guy who has selflessly supported the Kings.

Even Fox said that DD2 should be put to waivers in order to keep VV. Well, he basically said that. AM is way better and more dynamic a d man that DD. If they send him back down again, it would be unbelievably disconcerting. I know WHY he is being sent down but after how he has performed, a sacrifice is to be made. I think Loki played well too and once he is a bit more adjusted I see that line really clicking.
