Blackhawks are crisper, sharp - they all appear in harmony doing their respective jobs well.

I disagree, Kings have been the better team other than a bad deflection

I feel like the Kings have little room to operate thus are finding few good chances. I completely disagree that the Kings look like the better team.

Chicago has looked faster (surprise, surprise) and that's about it as far as I've seen.

Nice complete defensive breakdown

 

[lasportzphan]

Game over.

Muzzin you suck

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Dumb ass Muffin cake!!

 

[smackdown380]

Bad defensive breakdown, can't ask Quick to do everything.

 

[lasportzphan]

Chicago does a great job of getting puck up on Quick...

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

And speed kills. That should just about do it. Come back strong in Game 2 Kings.

Oh well. On to game 2. We need a split. We can't afford to go down 2-0 to the Hawks.

 

[Kings4OT]

Muffin just makes the wrong play to often

 

[smackdown380]

A bad deflection and a bad defensive breakdown...Kings will be fine in game 2 after 2 days off.

Kings handled it (the speed) in the 2nd, just need to stand up and the blue line and not back off.

 

[Deader2818]

You know at this point im more concerned with Voynov doing pretty much nothing all season and playoffs after he was so good last year.

 

[pete6835]

Did the Kings forget how to hit? Take the body

 

[lasportzphan]

Can't score, can't win. Get some rest and try to figure these guys out.

 

[Kings4OT]

2 mistakes and a bounce, that's all it takes

 

[ChiefsDdgersLakersKings24]

awful third period, Muzzin screwing up helped give them the odd man rush for the dagger, but the puck possession and opportunities in the third period were so awful that we didn't have much of a chance.
