Game Thread: Stanley Cup Final Game 5: New York Rangers @ Los Angeles Kings, 6/13 5:00 PM, NBC

It sure looks like the Kings want one too. Maybe they like it in New York City. Bad penalty by King. Not paying attention to his stick and then a sloppy, sloppy power play to give up the short-hander to Brian F'in Boyle (who couldn't even crack the Kings lineup) is just plain lazy hockey. Maybe they thought the Rangers would just quit after they got ahead early. Guess what Kings. You're looking at a long cross-country flight tomorrow if you don't get your act together and play "Kings Hockey".

Yep. Ultimate control of the stick is up to the player, but King's stick sure looked like it was lifted up into Zucerello by Puliot

Because it was.

I looked at that again.. He didn't swing his stick, the Rangers player lifted his stick into the air and into the face of the other Rangers player.

Maybe the case but you are responsible for your own stick. King is a big guy. He should be able to keep his stick from being lifted that high that easily.

Well he has 1 hand on the stick and was reaching to block the pass, and then the Rangers player comes in with two hands on his stick, there really wasn't much he could do.

Maybe he needs to keep both hands on his stick. In the end it was a penalty and the Kings couldn't kill it. Then they got a gift power play (I never saw the hook) and not only couldn't do anything with it they gave up a short-hander. Horrendous special teams play by our Kings.

Does anyone else hate Dwight King? He blows more opportunities!

Don't really hate him. He does pretty good at screening the goaltender. He just has terrible hands and I don't think I've ever seen him finish a play.

If things remain the same here, which seems to be the case..,, Regehr in game 6?

Maybe just to change things up but the only logical guy for him to replace is Greene and he's played rather well. You really don't want to put all 3 slower, older defensemen in the lineup at the same time I wouldn't think. Maybe stick Nolan or Fraser in for King.

Yeah... I know he slows us down. We need a change up, perhaps for King is the best call

 

[lasportzphan]

Lundqvist is scary on fire right now.

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

Kopi should have shot that and not passed.

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

GOT to capitalize on this power play.

 

[Bluesince62]

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!! Fire's out

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

I just have to say that was a garbage call that led to our goal

 

[Bluesince62]
