@jess,
I think one of these teams will win tonight.

Penner two SOG, neither which could brake a pane of glass.
Really good forecheck pressure and speed but just too many guys with ZERO offensive sense or finishing skills.
I’m surprised Columbus had even 4 SOG, I dont remember more than 1.

Sutter is back coaching like a rookie in the league.
Confused, players have to say who will I be with next. We are not even 11 minutes into the game and entire line combinations are mixed.
You know what, I’ve seen this before….never let your players get some type of familuarity and they will never get to know each other.
This is one reason why we don’t score alot……guys have no chemistry.
Is DS scared, he sure coaching like it……

@harty, hmmm. I’ve seen 4 lines straight up so far: Brown-Kopi-Gagne, Williams-Carter-Cliffy, King-Richards-Nolan, and Lewis-Stoll-Penner… Maybe I’m off but I think Sutter has the boys back to forecheck and filling the lanes and breaking out clean. I must say I disagree with your assessment, kind sir from Ayr.
[Reply]
I just want to go on record saying that Bernier is not even being tested so if the Kings get the shutout with this kind of pressure from the Blue Jackets offense then I hope no one is stupid enough to actually credit that to Bernier being “hot.” Just saying. No fault to Bernier but this game should not be deemed a “good game” by him so far. A monkey could get the shutout right now.

@jess, I think it’s funny how you all think 12 saves and a goal against a team like Columbus is reason to start declaring Quick sucks and Bernier is the new #1. Get it straight. Bernier did his job as the #2 and, frankly, if he couldn’t against this team then that is pretty bad. Quick is still the reigning Conn Smythe and will prive it once again. You people will be the same bandwagoners that are all “Oh Quick is AWESOME” once he gets into his groove. So pathetic.

@CB14,
I think those weird lines have been products of guys getting caught out on shifts and the three penalties they had to kill. I don’t suspect Sutter is unhappy with any of those lines tonight. Even the guys who aren’t having success with the puck are playing hard and putting in the effort.

Penner is just too cumbersome out there…if he isn’t falling down with the puck, then he is passing it for no reason to nobody in particular…he takes forever to get a shot off…he has been pretty good away from the puck and on the forecheck tonight…I just would like to see him quicken his thought process a little

Fox talking about taking out the ledge of the boards where it meets the glass – that would be dumb and dangerous. The boards extending forward allows your hips and legs to absorb more contact before your upper body (i.e., head) hits the glass. Also, the ledge helps in board play because it gives you something to lean on. You’d see alot more pile ups along the boards without it.

I agree. I like the effort, but they still need to generate more chances from between the circles. But, defensively, they did a great job, holding another opponent to less than 20 shots. That end of the ice was near perfect tonight, and the total team game has been on the upswing since Detroit. It’s not pretty, but it gets things done.

@bbb7, Totally agree. Much of that game we were aweful. Columbus is just more aweful. Very ugly game. That Doughty and Brown both had bad games. Penner was sloppy, but in his defense he hasn’t been playing as much as the others.
Cliffy though … all I can say is wow. We are watching a great power forward mature before our very eyes. Of all the things he did tonight that was good, the thing that impressed me most was his composer at the end of the 2nd period when Columbus tried to bate him into the box. That led directly to our 2 man power play that Richards scored on. The winning goal … oh and he got an unassisted goal after stripping some poor Blue Jacket of the puck and bee lined for the first goal. Fricken awesome!

Chicago offense – excellent with no regulation losses – ???
Bernier has shown he can win the games he should win. The Ducks made him look pretty bad. When you play a team like Chicago, you need to have your best goalie in net in order to give your offense the chance to score goals.

The Ducks game wasn’t Bernier’s fault. Lots of defensive mistakes that night in front of both goalies, and. Quick’s less than stellar start set the tone for the entire team that night. I know they tied it a couple times during the game, but really, they were never in that one. That game was lost as soon as the puck dropped.

@DesertKing, you are failing to acknowledge that the reason Bernier played against the Duck was becasue Quick was pulled after allowing two goals on three shots. Quick had a save percentage of .333 and Bernier was at .810. Neither goalie played well but Bernier clearly had the better game out of the two.
DesertKing Reply:

So a bad 5 minute stretch means that 3 years of making the playoffs, the Con Smythe trophy, winning the Stanley Cup, 10 shutouts last year including 3 in a row, hould all be overshadowed and forgotten for a bad 5 minutes? riiiight…… Look at more than numbers, look at results. Don’t look at one game, look at a season. There have been many great goalies who lead their teams to great success but didn’t have great numbers.
DesertKing Reply:

@DesertKing, sure Bernier allowed more goals in the game against the Ducks (4 goals) than Quick (2 goals) but Bernier faced more shots. I am amazed that you can support Quick after such as poor performance? He was pulled from the game for good reason. He only stopped one shot and allowed two goals. On the other hand Bernier stopped 17 shots and allowed 4 goals. I am not saying that Bernier is the better goaltender, just saying on this night Bernier happened to be slightly better. Not really surprising as it happens to all great goaltenders. Some nights you just can’t see the puck.

@Canadien King
Yep, I am serious. Read above. Quick saved us during the regular season last year and then the whole team came together in the playoffs to win the Cup. If it were not for Scuds tonight, CBJ would have scored on that 2 on none, Bernier was completely out of position and flailing on the ice like a beached whale because he didn’t know where the puck was or what to do. JB is good, but he ain’t no Quick.

@DesertKing, I think I love you. Couldn’t have said it better than your last few posts.
The Kings played the same level of hockey with the Blue Jackets. They are better than that. And they have to be much better to beat the Black Hawks. Still lots of work is needed.

@goldielocks, Kings are routinely dragged up or down by any given opponent.
This is not a good quality.

CBJ have had their moments this year; they’re not as bad as record indicates. A decisive win would have been nice, but 2-1 isn’t worth getting depressed. The last 2 games, Columbus had 76 shots combined; tonight 13. Checking caused a lot of takeaways/giveaways. Comes down to finishing scoring opportunities–same old song.

@Robert R, Columbus killed S.J. last game..I know S.J is slumping but still…a win over S.J. is impressive.

@Robert R, Kings offense wasn’t going balls out against the Jackets, more of an opportunistic game tonight. I trust DS will have them more aggressive on Sunday.

Y’all have been Darryl Evans the business about his suit. What I want to see is the topcoat and hat he wears outside in the Windy City. There may even be a bejewled walking cane involved.

@harty, I generally agree tho I didnt see enough (as usual) from Gagne to warrant a B… and Penner created nothing so the best I can give him is B for effort. Havent seen an A game from Richards since the playoffs.
[Reply]
Thought the Kings didn’t try to do too much against a team that was waiting for them to slip up. Really important win and nice goal from Clifford. Bernier was solid when called upon. Seemed like Jackets waited until the end of the game to start pushing. Young defense was reasonably efficient with Scuderi showing them how it’s done.

@Mikey J., I had Scuds as my 3rd star….certainly deserving of some recognition….great play to break up a prime scoring chance…

Columbus coach: “We didn’t win a lot of battles tonight. There was more urgency in their game”.

@YoBro, Bernier has to be the least worked ‘hot goalie’ in history if he qualifies as ‘hot’. He faced maybe 5 difficult shots in 2 full games.

@YoBro, I am still in shock how people are deeming JB the “hot goalie.” He had 12 saves against Columbus! If we don’t get that win then I question how good he is as our #2. I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts on Sunday but Sutter still knows that was not a “breakout performance” by JB. Quick will either come in during the game Sunday or start on Tuesday and will regain his spot in net.
