Ox, is what I sent you working?

No I can't get it to work. Either my laptop isn't set up for the right flash player or the internet connection here isn't fast enough to handle the streaming. I kept getting shuttled from one place to another saying I need this or that and wanting me to register. The game is actually on here on NBCSports but the girls are watching The Voice and there is no DVR. 2 against 1 and I am the guest. All is good as long as the Kings win this thing. Nick and Daryl are doing a fine job.

Kings getting sloppy and too much scrambling

Quick

Well, the Wild just want and need this game more than the Kings do.

 

[smackdown380]

All MN to start the 3rd

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

I hope all the coaches and players on the bench watch how a team protects a 1-goal lead. It is apparent to me the Kings do not know how.

Kings snapping defeat from the jaws of victory

 

[smackdown380]

Still 12 minutes left, Kings need to get there forecheck back, take it back to MN. Same way they have taken the forecheck to LA in the 3rd.

 

[pete6835]

Sucks

 

[oxnardkingsfan]

Far too much offense by the Wild and nothing close to any sustained effort from the Kings. Gotta credit the Minnesota defense some but there doesn't seem to be urgency from the Kings. Not going to win this game that way.

Pull Quick and put Carter up on the top line

 

[smackdown380]

Come on LA, Hollywood ending!

 

[pete6835]

Quick loses this one

 

[Deader2818]

We had just won six in a row. No reason to get upset about one bad period. Oh well, beating Phoenix on wednesday is the important one.

Agreed with the six in a row but the Kings were out hustled in the 3rd. Need to shore that up

Sharks announcers celebrate

And that Kings fans is how you hold on to a 1-goal lead. Give the Wild credit. They need these wins they're getting and are going after them. I do believe our Kings have decided they have 3rd in the division locked up (not quite team) and are playing with very little urgency.
