1-3 you mean

 

[Kings4OT]

I meant to type 2-3

 

[Kings4OT]

Fucking Christ, Shore nice move to open net then cant make the shot lol

 

[pete6835]

No reason to pull Quick.

 

[Psych3man]

Shore is so unbelievably frustrating.

Shore is so unbelievably frustrating.

I've been bitching about Shore since day one. He's punching well above his weight.

 

[lasportzphan]

No reason to pull Quick.

Why did they pull him?

 

[davnlaguna]

Why did they pull him?

Give him a break?
Shake the team up?
No reason given

Yikes...saw the score at the hockey rink, my kid's 6U team shut out the other team 3-0 in the championship and Pucky Jr. scored the GW goal, sniped a backhand upstairs in the 3rd to break a 0-0 tie.

Not sure what happened but it sounds ugly, I'll catch the replay. They were on quite a roll, can't win them all.

Give the kid a tryout. Kings need someone with hands

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Kid has better hands than I did at age 5, that's for sure. I have decent hands now, especially for a defenseman, but he has better scoring hands than I did. I had to work really hard to develop those (still do - puck and stick on the wood floors during game just messing around, have a practice weight on the shaft too to help) but for him it seems more natural.

Couldn't hurt to have him try out, bet he scores more goals in th remaining 10 games than Shore has his whole career.

 

[pete6835]

Nash was up 3-1, and the Kings were coming back, scored 3-2, then Enroth gave up a horrible goal and killed the momentum

Why did they pull him?

Probably to rest him for tonight's game.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but im pretty sure he doesn't fit in with the size and physicality of Kings hockey

 

[pete6835]

Someone start a GDT already - my bombed last night

He's a mini Milan Lucic, goes to the net and bowls goalies over to score. Pretty funny to watch.
