The long wait is over, and it’s time for the second round of the playoffs, with the Kings facing the St. Louis Blues in Game 1. All the action is on NBC Sports Network and on 1150-AM and affiliates, with all the game updates here as well, along with a live chat with Jim Fox…

End of period: The Kings took a 1-0 lead in the series. Shots were 29-29.
SECOND PERIOD
In goal: It’s still Quick vs. Elliott.
Kings 2, Blues 1: The Kings took the lead on Matt Greene’s shorthanded goal with 1:03 remaining. Dustin Brown picked up the puck in the neutral zone and took it to the net with speed. Elliott made the stop, but Greene crashed the net and knocked in the rebound from close range.
End of period: The Kings outshot the Blues 9-8 in the period. The Kings did not have a power play and went 1-for-1 on the penalty kill, with a shorthanded goal. The Blues will be on the power play for the first 47 seconds of the third period.

Kings 1, Blues 1: The Kings tied the game with 3:02 remaining in the period.

@Subby, Sweet. Also maybe check a printer in your area. Maybe pricey to set it up. Or… just thought of this… Fat Head. My son got a Kopi and it came with all kinds of extra removable decals since the player isn’t rectangular but the roll is and they give you decals in the extra space.

Yeah, that’s gotta be frustrating for the blues… if we come out with legs to start the second could put a hurting on them. All those chances, all that pressure and… tied game.
[Reply]
Well ST Louis dominated most of the period with the Kings coming on towards the end. Quick saved our bacon though while the Blues dominated. 1-1 not bad considering. Need to regroup come out aggressive in the 2nd and take the game over the final 40 minutes.

A little bit of a rough start, but we’re even after 1 (good call @Jeff_R) – I’ll take it!

Quick is so good it’s almost absurd. Saved our bacon multiple times. Richard line looks good. Kopitar’s line, not so much. King looked like he was gripping the stick a bit too tight, but settled down later in the period.
These guys look a lot better than Vancouver.

@xeropoint,
Come out skating in the second and good things will happen… the blues have to be frustrated right now and are telling each other that the Kings goal was a fluke… trying to calm each other down. Kings come out strong and get the only goal in the first half of the second and then bad thoughts start keeping in…
[Reply]
I think we saw pretty much what we expected. Each team is going to have its chance to dictate the flow of the game. The Blues dominated the first half of the period, and the Kings found their way back in the second half. The crowd has settled, and now it’s up to the Kings to spend time in their zone and take the energy out of the building. Great job by Quick keeping them in it early, and what a job by Penner to take the puck away, and thread a beautiful pass to Voynov for the goal.
I expect the Kings to come out and force more time down in their end, and draw some penalties. The power play looked good, but it can be better, and they will need that unit to come up with goals at the right time.
This game can be taken. Go get it, boys!

jim fox had mentioned how willie mitchell sat down and had a nice one-on-one talk with slava the other day at practice, making sure the kid was on the same page and ready to come out and execute according to the game plan…and the kid comes out and ties up the game when we needed someone to step up and counter their domination…nice set up by penner, too, on that play…
another reason why willie mitchell is so valuable – veteran leadership is invaluable…

Furst was very much like the first period in game 5 vs Canucks.. have to weather the adrenalie for the home team and then settle down, which is what happened. VV needs to make faster decisions, he holds the puck too long and gets into trouble, but he’s still learning.
Need the 4th line to generate some forecheck, make the Blues think twice in their end. Otherwise, was about the first period I expected for game one. I was prepared to be behind 1-0 after one, so being tied is a bonus.
GKG!

[Reply]
Stuart Reply:
April 28th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
@g smith86, wrong, I’d rather he be a stay at home and never score again if it means he makes smart decisions with the puck… trying to clear it on the back hand from your goal line with a minute left that’s kept in IS NOT THE SAFE PLAY. He needs to make the safe play each and every time!!! the times he doesn’t, he is very lucky they all dont end up in the back of our net. He does owe JQ a part of his salary, any other lesser goalie and his +/- is equalling JJ levels…
Safe plays more often then not is not good enough in the playoffs. Once, ok, I can deal with that, but with DDD, it’s a chronic habit. too cute with the puck is not the smart play. no hating here, just wanting smart hockey at all costs.

That’s really been true since the playoffs started. I haven’t seen them dominate any single game, but they’ve found ways to win, even in games where they were badly outplayed (Game 3 against Vancouver). That is an encouraging game. And hey,I don’t care if NBC doesn’t want to give them credit. The Kings seem to be happy being underestimated.

Great effort from the pluggers again. Congrats to Penner, good to see him rewarded. But, this game was all about Quick keeping them in it for the first half of the first period, and then the defense made the rest of his night easy.

So did Penner call Bank?

@King Alex, It’s just you and it’s just Kings fans… I know for a fact that St. Louis Blues fans are saying the same thing about the national coverage being biased toward the underdog Kings.
If you’re not listening to your home team’s broadcasts and getting love from the likes of Bob/Jim or Nick/Daryl, you’re probably thinking your team is not getting the love. Outsiders listening to the Kings broadcasts say the same thing about our broadcasts (Biased and favoring the Kings).
It is what it is. The National broadcasters show a little love for each team at times. You just filter what you want to hear. I think Dave Strader is an outstanding play by play guy and the former King Brian Engblom used to do Kings radio before he was picked up nationally. I heard both of them give Quick, Kopitar, Brown, Richards, Carter and Doughty props among others.
Personally, as watch as I’m watching the game in HD, I could care less about what the announcers are saying. As long as they say “HE SCORES!” when the Kings get a goal, that’s all I really care about… That’s why you come to this board to tell everyone how much you love the Kings and how everything they do is good and everything the other team does is bad.
GO KINGS GO!
[Reply]
We’ll take that one. Quick is on his game! S H goal was sweet.
[Reply]
this was a great team effort again from the Kings…this seems to be a common theme so far…JQ bailed them out early, but then the Kings found their legs and began to dictate the flow a little better…St Louis had no answer for the Kings defense in the third…they just shut them down! I love to see that…only negatives would be a struggeling PP which needs to start coming through…trust me…one of these games it will come back to bite the Kings if they can’t capitalize on the PP

I need to check the replay because I thought Petrangelo was closer to the net than to the boards when King hit him. Not sure how he hit the board that hard from that far from the boards, but it also didn’t look like King’s hit was that hard either.
It was a boarding penalty for sure, but not one that I would consider a bad one compare to all the shenanigans that have gone on in these playoffs.

Carter also played well tonight.
For some reason, Williams can’t seem to get going in these playoffs. He can’t seem to find the space to work with and when he does, he’s not making the most of it.
The Kings should be making believers out of a lot of people by the way they’re playing on the road. They look really good playing on the other team’s ice.

What a big win by the kings. Such a huge effort. Would liked for them to have the killer instinct when on the pp though. Put that game away. From TSN
Has the fourth-overall pick from 2008 (Alex Pietrangelo) supplanted the second-overall pick from that same draft (Drew Doughty) as an NHL defenceman?
Mckenzie: I’ll say yes, to the extent that these questions are transient, that is they go from week to week. I will say this, Pietrangelo, in my mind, has not played the game at a level as high as Doughty played at the Olympics, but Doughty I don’t think recently has played at that level either. Pietrangelo has probably been a better all-around defenceman this season.
Maurice: I’m going to say no. We’ve got a player in Doughty that missed training camp and we are not seeing his best. Is he good? Yes. Is he at the level he will normally play at? No. Pietrangelo’s been outstanding but Doughty will get better as he gets back into the rhythm. Just wait one training camp.
Dreger: I’m going to say yes and I’m going to be more biting in my description because Pietrangelo is a more consistent player. He’s a more well-rounded player, he plays both ends of the ice better than Doughty and as Paul said, missing camp was not a good thing for Doughty, who never seemed to be able to catch up.

THIS team will win if it brings its game– we’re not depending on the other team to screw up.
