In a league that is goal deprived…and the goalies have the most PPE (personal protective equipment)…Why is it that the goalies always get the benefit of the doubt?
PS…only goalies that don’t wear Kings Jersys get the benefit of the doubt

Like what I saw first period. Kings are aggressive and throwing everything at the net. Had a few close ones there but Lehtonen is a very good goalie

Also, didnt like the move taking Toffoli out tonite. Not because he was lighting the lamp, its because Penner went to the 4th line and gave our team better balance IMO.

Kings can afford to be a little more patient with the puck. With Dallas being so tired, they have that extra split second even if they don’t feel it.
I expect the Stars to come out with a big push early in the third to try to get a lead. In wouldn’t be surprised to see a set play to try to spring something off the opening draw. Kings need to be aware if a Stars forward lines up at a D spot.

Misunderstanding me, or I wasn’t clear. Stars are playing rope a dope, not forcing us in their zone, watching the middle and pouncing on transition opportunities. When the Kings just make a quick low percentage pass or shot, it plays right into their hands. Take the time to get into good scoring area.

Ugly to watch. Looks like Kings played yesterday, not Stars who completely took over in a 3rd period. Shame.
Still no answer for Dallas defense. Yes, lot’s of shots but most of them not dangerous. I thought Kings would play with more urgency and pride after Dallas kicked their butts last time. But old guy beat us again…Oh well…I guess it’s like Colorado last year. Just can’t beat certain teams.

LT21 Reply:
March 21st, 2013 at 10:25 pm
@yetiman_oc, so you honestly think Quick shouldn’t continue to play when he is consistently getting better over the last couple games because the D had a big breakdown and the O can’t score? Rather you would want to bench Quick instead of holding the other players accountable for not properly doing their job? You’re nowhere near rational
yetiman_oc Reply:
March 21st, 2013 at 10:30 pm
@LT21, wait while JQ gets consistently better or play the goalie who has been consistently good already. Short season. Tight standings. No time to wait for anyone on the team. O and D doesn’t have much options. I would have liked to see TT stay in and let DK sit. Other than that there isn’t much to change personnel wise.
LT21 Reply:
March 21st, 2013 at 10:49 pm
@yetiman_oc, I would agree more if this loss was Quicks fault. He has been solid 2 games in a row. That is not to take away from Bernier but this game is not a reason to play JB more and JQ less.

Our second line with Pen’s in there was not too sharp. TT would have been a better choice there.
Also I thought Pen’s brought a lot of life into the fourth line.
And can someone tell me what the hell is wrong with Scuds? Is he playing hurt. I feel sorry for VV having to play with him. He looks and plays like he’s half asleep half the time. That second goal was a 100% on Scuds and this is not the first time this has happened. Maybe give DD2 a chance?

Penner gets his 2nd goal of the season the other night and now he’s the scorer on that line? The sad thing is how he all but disappears in front of the opponent’s net when the team hits the road.

@neil, So Sutter needs to tell him to shut up and score.
Look..I wanna be positive when it is warranted, but tonight, …it just simply ain’t the case
Yeah…Lehtonin was solid…but he was never forced to make a great save…what maybe two pucks thrown to the front …by surprise…he got em…or the Kings missed em…whatever…the point is…the Kings saw this same scenario in Dalls…and they got their arses kicked…you figure they would want some payback for it,…but know…they let BS Dallas come into to their own building and shut em out…I am pissed…and so should be every King fan!!!
I hate the Stars…with all of my black heart!!!
Yea… I have a long list of hated teams, but…the Stars are right there at the top
So, forgive me if I sound a little hysterical here..but it was just a game we should have won

People reality shows up after a loss…no blame to anyone..leh played great
[Reply]
bad game plan…should have been a slower paced game…with a lot more down-low play…cycle game… all game long…make Dallas play DEfense…but, the Kings thought they could out race a team playing the second night of back-to-backs…well…that didn’t work…and you got embarrassed tonight..in front of your home crowd
Just be a lot better next game

@neil, the embarrasment, to me , is not scoring a goal…not making a commitment to score…that was where the game was for the taking…but the Kings did not commt to it tonight…that is what is really eating away at me right now..ugh…I am soooo p-OED!!!

@g smith86, The crisp passes were just not there. A lot of handcuffing and passes into the skates. But credit is due to the Dallas D for taking away lanes and forcing some of those bad passes.
DS calls out the kopi line

@neil,
Kope was out-played by the old guy with a cane. Brown was fanning all the way. He even missed the hit that led to the outnumbered attack they scored. But I blame DS as well. He should have changed the line combo after the 1st. Penner on the 2nd line clearly wasn’t working.
[Reply]
Tough loss. Definitely things we could have done better and I have no doubt they will. Also ran into a hot goalie. Recipe for a loss. Can’t win em all. On to the Nucks!
[Reply]
Well hell, it’s not like we got outplayed. Cheer up everybody, the team was played enough to win just got thrown off by Lehtonin’s goalie mask.
[Reply]
sorry…I really dont like losing…and i really don’t like losing to the Stars…I am venomous right now
[Reply]
I just feel the Kings could have better controlled the game, but they decided to try to play it offensively…and that would have been fine if they would have scored, but they didn’t score…they could have easily played a more conservative game and controlled the chances significantly…and yeah…i know they out-shot Dallas by a wide margin, but their actual scoring chances were few and far between…and the fact is,…Dallas had better counter rushes and more quality oppurtunitiies to score..and they did…and the kings didn’t..shut out…dang!!

@g smith86, Yeah that 3rd period goal was destined to score because it was Jagr. Shouldn’t of happened Kopi’s line got too greedy.
[Reply]
The Kings did a great job of keeping the play along the boards and away from the middle for two periods. Then when Dallas amped up play in the third and started controlling the middle it seemed only a matter of time before they got one or two past Quick. Wonder if anyone will have the balls to ask Sutter how come the schedule didn’t win the game tonight.
[Reply]
Even though we didn’t get the W, I am still happy that JQ had another strong game. Seeing those “vintage Quick” saves is a positive to take from this. I think we all know what this team is capable of so seeing that positive from this game is a good thing to me

Great game, Quick was great, but Lehtonin was even better.
Dallas has our number, we’d better kick some butt next game against them.
GO KINGS GO!!
