Tough start to a tough road trip. Let's see what our boys are made of.

Ox

And the "Whipping Boy" puts the Kings up 1-0 early.

So RR was what was holding Muffin back.

 

[pete6835]

Muzzin's brain is what is holding him back

 

[davnlaguna]

Muzzin's brain is what is holding him back

So you think he has one?

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

The way everyone here puts this guy down you'd expect his +/- to be atrocious but he's a +4. Strange. And yes I know the stat doesn't mean that much but it's still odd to me.

Ox

 

[davnlaguna]

Should not have been a penalty shot

 

[pete6835]

Yeah, does that play count on the stat sheet against Muzzin. nope

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Tied up on a penalty shot called on Muzzin's drag down of Oshie. With the breakaway caused by his shot getting blocked at the blue line. More ammo for the Muzzin haters. But having shots blocked is a problem with the entire Kings defense corps.

Ox

 

[pete6835]

He created the break away also.

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Maybe the Kings can get one 4-on-4. They sure can't generate anything 5-on-4.

Ox

 

[Psych3man]

Richards penalized too?!?!

 

[pete6835]

Should not have been a penalty shot

Should not have been diving

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

The refs didn't want to give the Kings another power play and look as bad as they have with the man advantage. The game is a national broadcast on NBCSports.

Ox

 

[davnlaguna]

This will help with the Kings are a bunch of divers faction

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

But they get one anyway and once again kill off the Blues penalty. Why on earth can they not create enough movement from the defense to open shooting lanes? Very few of their shots from the points get through to the goaltender. And when they do nobody can get to the rebound. This lack of a power play is going to kill them in the playoffs.

Ox

 

[Psych3man]

Lol Ox--it is the ugliest pp with talented players I gave seen

 

[Bluesince62]

Reaves gooning it up as always.

 

[Psych3man]

...if they make the playoffs.
Have to be able to score
