Game 5 between the Kings and the Vancouver Canucks will be played Sunday. That much is known. What time? Nobody knows. The reason, mostly, is television. There could be as many as four playoff games on Sunday — including Boston-Washington, Pittsburgh-Philadelphia and Nashville-Detroit — or it’s also possible that the Kings and Canucks could be playing the day’s only game, if those other series end before Sunday. None of the potential Sunday games have start times scheduled yet
That is frustrating for Darryl Sutter, who said today, with dripping sarcasm, “It’s only the Stanley Cup playoffs, and it’s only Game 5, but we don’t know what time we’re playing Sunday? We have to travel and set practice plans. I hope it’s not interfering with anything else.’’
The uncertain start time doesn’t bother the Canucks so much. They’re sitting at home waiting for the game, so whether it’s an afternoon or evening start, it makes little impact. The Kings, however, have to determine whether it’s better for them to practice Saturday morning in El Segundo and then fly to Vancouver, or perhaps fly on Friday (in the event of an afternoon start on Sunday). That left Sutter jokingly seeking assistance from media members…
SUTTER: “If you guys find out (the start time), tell me. That’s beyond frustrating. I know it’s only a two-hour flight to Vancouver, but say we were going to St. Louis or Detroit, and we still don’t know? And you’re two time zones away? What’s hard about (determining a start time)? I understand there’s TV and all that stuff. It does affect. It doesn’t necessarily affect that day, but it certainly affects the team that’s traveling. … I’m going to assume it has something to do with the two Canadian teams, with Ottawa and with the center of the universe [Vancouver] does. … It’s like getting a horse ready to run on Sunday. He’s got to do things right on Saturday.’’
Incidentally, the reason for the three-day break between games is because Coldplay is at Rogers Arena on Friday and Saturday.
No day game please! We typically don’t play that well. I love DS!! He’s the best!! Sunday does seem like FOREVER away!!

Personally, I think the Kings/Canucks game will be at 7pm (but don’t know if it will be FSW or NBC-Sports Net. The BOS/WAS will probably be the early game (noon PST), then if there is a PIT/PHI or NAS/DET game, that will be in the late afternoon, and then the LAK/VAN game at 7pm.
Dunno.. can’t do anything about it… just sit and wait… patiently…biting on nails… etc.

@Croz, That oddly was one of the problems. As Kings players attempted to skate the puck out of the zone, they were consistantly back checked off the puck from behind. It was a very odd game particularly in the Dzone.
Boy it was really smart to book Coldplay right in the middle of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Maybe Rogers Arena management figured the Kings would sweep the Canucks.

@COUS, I agree about Penner playing well in Vancouver. Thinking about it I couldn’t help but conclude that being away from LA and the pain and mess of his divorce is helpful. You can definitely see a change in his game and his intensity away from home. Not an excuse because he is a very well paid professional, but the reality of life does take a toll. I too, scream and moan at his lethargic, half-hearted effort on the ice and have been doing so all season long. I can’t wait for him to be an ex-King, just trying to put two and two together.

@micwoo,
When is on time supposed to be. Wouldn’t it be better for the Kings to have an extra day at home if they don’t have to be in Vancouver until Sunday night? Wouldn’t you like to know when you have to get ready to hit the road. Why should they get in Vancouver early Saturday if they don’t play until Sunday night. The schedule does matter.

@AZ King, This was caused by the unavailability of Staples on

in Vancouver on Thursday and not wait until Sunday… So you and Daryl need to chill out

@micwoo, Phoenix caused the problem by winning their last 5 regular season games and bumping us down a seeding that caused us to play Vancouver.
Nothing to do with anything above. Nothing “for or against’ the Kings…but Brownie’s penalty shot rekindled something I’ve thought about for a long time. If I trip you 140 from the goal without the puck, I get 2 mins for trip or interference.
If I haul you down from behind, as you’re going in alone on the goalie, then, in my opinion, you should STILL get that 2-minute man advantage….PLUS the penalty shot , assuming you miss the penatly shot. That is, you score on the penalty shot, fine, you made good on the ‘breakaway’ on which I fouled you. If you miss the penalty shot, your team then gets a 2 minute power play. I realize the conversion rate on the penalty shot has historically been a bit higher than that on a power play. I”m interested to hear what some of you think, poke holes in my proposal.

@Chris Chllcott, I hate to agree with riff raff of the likes of @Scruart here, but in Association Football you pull a Ballard like that in the penalty area and you sit the rest of the game. AND your team plays short. AND a penalty shot is assessed.
Apart from people in this country having a problem with Double Jeopardy (my grannie will never watch two nights in a row), many say (can’t you hear them knocking) this might be a very personal ego gratifying change to make!
The very progreesive ‘New’ NHL is just a little behind the times when it comes to encouraging more goals to be scored.
Of course, Association Football goals are 8 yds x 8 ft also so perhaps we could meet them halfway in this respect as well.
Food for thought …. if you are already filled to the gunwales!

@Chris Chllcott, Yes, I have thought about the same exact thing. A trip infraction is worth TWO minutes regardless. If you make a goal, then the two minutes should be cancelled.
Also, the goalie has the advantage because he has time to think and hit the “reset” button.
During a break-away a goalie is somewhat caught of guard and really doesn’t have time to think of his strategy and the shooters strategy.
Maybe a good balance would be like football where the team has a CHOICE to go on PP or take a penalty shot.

Still when we played the Blues they don’t seem to have too much offensive threat save oshie. Yotes have Vrabatta, Hanzal, Doan, Vermette, ekman-larson, yandel. They have a pretty deep team.

i can’t believe all the complaints about the Kings play… Did you people not see the regular season?!?!?!?
Let’s be honest, we’re not the premiere team in the league. And even the premiere teams are trailing in their respective series’.
I DO NOT LIKE Penner, but he is playing better than usual. Doughty has been logging more minutes than anyone and has been doing the right things. We lose one freaking game and you all start blaming guys like Richards? Are you serious!?!?!
The Canucks won 51 games this season… of course they’re going to win 52. We can’t sweep our way to the finals. We put up a ton of shots and just didn’t get the right bounces… That’s all it was.
I’m afraid to lose after being up 3-0 too but for God sakes, give it a rest. We’re not going to win every night.

Starting in round 2 NBC Sports/NBC will have exclusive rights to the entire Stanley Cup Playoffs games. This means that at most we will enjoy Bob and Jim 3 more times but I wish I see and hear them announcing a game only one more time this season:). It is almost impossible to listen to the biased voices during upcoming Kings games in the next rounds. For this reason I will use the video from NBC and audio from KTLK AM 1150 by Nick Nickson and Daryl Evans. KTLK AM 1150 is also on the internet iHeart Radio so you can hear from your laptop and your phone.
The only problem is that TV is always few seconds behind the radio broadcast.
You can order a portable radio with built in delay dial called SportSync and enjoy.
Or if you are not a computer challenged use free program called RadioDelay.
I downloaded and installed RadioDelay on my home theater computer and connected my iphone streaming the Kings game to audio Line In jack of the computer.
(instead you can connect a portable AM radio to this jack).
Finally you adjust for the delay in the computer’s RadioDelay program.
Enjoy!
Anyone know how many seconds KTLK AM 1150 is ahead of TV?
Is there a radio rebroadcast inside Staple’s center and if yes what’s the frequency?(Kenneth:)
Anyone successfully connects to iHeart Radio KTLK AM 1150 stream on ATT phone inside the Staple’s?

NEWS FLASH:
In a stunning display of common sense, the NHL has voted to rename itself. The Board of Directors, at the direction of commissioner Gary Bettman, has decieded to change the league’s name to the We Don’t Have A Clue About How To Run A League Including A Total Inability To Keep Time And Deal Properly With Cheaters And Liars League, now known as the WDAHACAHTRALIATITKTADPWCALL. When asked about the name change, Commissiner Bettman stated (We are trying to be more transparent about who and what we are. We want our teams, players, officials and referees to be clear on what we stand for. We felt our name should reflect our values, and in fact, we have now made the league name our value statement. We are really excited about this new direction and what it will do for all of us.” When asked about possible fan reaction to the name change, Commissioner Bettman replied “Fans? Yes, we all ow fans in all of the offies and training facilities to ensure employees are comfortable. What are you, some kind of moron? Of couse we have fans.”
In an unrelated story, the Kings buried the Canucks in Game 5 of the first round series to eliminate the Canucks from the newly renamed Lord Bettman’s Super Big Silver Cup That Now Has A Clock Showing The Wrong Time And Wearing Blinders Play-offs. Players, who are not happy about the name change, have indicated there will be a new ceremony for the team who wins the Cup. An unidentified player wouldn’t provide details, but implied “it’s gonna involve some bodily functions.”

@DesertKing, That was interesting. Question..why does that one blogger refer to you as @DessertKing? I have met you several times and you do not look like you have eaten many desserts, or spent much time at a buffet line.

@puck73, I haven’t met DesertKing, but with the many nacho references, that made me laugh.

Whatever the time may be, let’s just get a win!!!!
I feel like I used to feel in high school before finals week.
getting a win or punching a ginger in the face will be the only two things that could help….
Both you ask? I won’t say no.

@BryBry,
Blame Coldplay

Just heard on HNIC that Sunday’s game will indeed by played tomorrow night (Saturday) on one condition: The NHL is waiting to see if the Wings lose to Nashville. If Detroit loses, then game 5 will be played at the Joe on Saturday night, since Pavel and Co. won’t be needing to use the building anymore this season and the Coldplay concert will not bother those who would prefer to watch and listen to hockey.

Are any other stars making dissapearing acts like Richards, Carter on the Kings? I know they played better in Vancouver, but I wonder if the other team’s leaders are also doing the David Copperfield for more than a period at a time as well.

@Jack, David Copperfield??? Carter’s been more like Chester Copperpot!

Sorry but this playoff schedule is a joke…3 days between games? Why dont they postpone the series until Daniel is completely healed and is feeling 110% This is the longest 4 game series out of all of them and if this is the best that the NHL can do for the Stepchild King franchise then Heres my arm with my fist up bent at a 90 angle while my other fist is slamming down on my inner elbow Italian style……….
