Game is still going, but we kicked some serious ass
Would be nice to just win the next two. Get some rest before next series

It’s still bad mojo to post before the end.

Nah. As much as I’d like to believe one of us could influence a game from our couch, I can safely say that’s never going to happen. That crap is just between our ears.
…. Maybe Jack Campbell hears us though?

When I'm around, I immediately remove responses from the Review thread before the game is over, just because. I time the bot appropriately, but the Review thread time is not always close, most members respect it until we are truly in post-game mode.

If I'm not around, which happens near any game, you're all on your own. I'm busy in my dishpit at the time. This place has self-moderated more than me moderating for a long time. It's not a large community as it was, eventually maybe it will have its expiration date, but for now, it continues.

Plus, after a win, I need to get my number up there first!

Refs are gonna get it from the league for this sideshow. They let the Kings do what they want for the first half and it blew up in their face.
Two in the tank!

Suck it Kings. Playing dirty is all they have when we play the way we can. Again, first goal was huge.
Nice bounce back game for Stu. Bring on game 4.

That was pretty much a repeat of game 1. Minus us scoring on ourselves a bunch of times. Nice to lay a licking on them in their own barn.

Good bounce back by Skinner
Great response to the clown business. No one backed down. Kane showing why he’s a big piece of this team to go on a run.
Up 2-1. Let’s go Sunday

Kane is living rent-free in LA. That’s great property management.

Our boy E Kane was everywhere tonight. Ended up with the ultra-rare playoff Gordie Howe HatTrick.

Just checked the LA roster.. all the douche bags I hate are from the USA.. coincidence?
Lizzote
Moore
Laferrier
Anderson (btw.. what grown man calls himself "Mikey")
That hit on Kane by Englund was as predatory as it gets.. just sheer luck Englunds shoulder never hit Kane full in the face.. it was a kill shot.
Both of the USA d-bag midgets have tried to take out knees (Moore, Lizzote).. and how many slew foots did LA do tonight? One on Carrick by Moore, RNH got one, then the side hit on Kane by Lizotte that was combo knee/slew foot.. no calls? This after Anderson took out Leon 2 years ago with a slew.. its become the LA trademark..
Refs lucky nobody went off on a stretcher..
And Freaking Gavrikov almost cripples McDavid sliding into his knees, may or may not have been intentional, didn't see if he collided with anyone.. buts its still a dangerous move you never do..
Oh and I like how Bouchard tosses "Big Bad" Dubois around at the end of the game.. awesome
I've been one off Bouchards best critics defensively .. but I think the guy has turned a corner.. I've noticed whenever there is a shoot in now he turns and skates back at 100% to retrieve it and gains time to set up for the break out.. he used to saunter back, take too much time and got caught in his own zone for a long cycle .. he's figuring it out 🙂 👍🏻

McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!
Tic-Tac-Tao!
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World
P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,

"What grown man calls himself 'Mikey'" is actually something Ryan Whitney complained about on Spittin Chiclets during the 21-22 playoff run haha

The plaudits will rightly go to the forwards for putting the puck in the net, for agitating the Kings enough for them to blow a gasket and try gooning it up even more than normal. However, quietly Desharnais had his best play off game I'd say, no where near any of the 3 stars of the match, but very effective.

Somehow Mikey the LA player does look like a Mikey. Got the facial features too small for size of head thing going on.

The Kings’ strategy each year has just been to see how much they’re allowed to get away with and to actively try to injure our best players. I’m sure if any of our stars gets hurt we will hear “you never want to see a guy hurt” from their guys but it’s shallow - that’s exactly what they’re hoping for. They know that they just aren’t good enough to beat us if we have McDavid and Draisaitl healthy.

Yep. Don't forget Vegas did the same thing and the league encouraged it.
Tough to win when two of the top four greatest playoff performers of all time are fully healthy and able to dominate games.

Love the scoring obvs...the big boys came to play...esp Kane. He was up to the task...and responsibility of being in the top 6 again. Nice Gordie Hatty!
Four moments stood out to me on the defensive end:
1 - Stu managing the game well in net. Lot of odd bounces, etc that he read well while reacting accordingly. That save against Kempe on the mini-breakaway was CLUTCH in the 2nd period.
2 - The blocked pass by Vinny on one of the Kings PPs....
3 - That Nurse save on Laferriere with the open net...such a clutch unsung play which prevented any serious momentum shift
4 - Holding their own when the Kings came out in first 7 mins of the 3rd period dominating puck possession, etc.
There's been a ton of goofy bounces in recent playoff years that can shift momentum in this series so game 4 is anything but a lock. The abundance of PPs for both sides scared the daylights out of me...not gonna lie.
Kings finally capitalizing on a PP is another thing that could shift the momentum in this series as well.
Chill out...grab a nice dinner...relax...and take care of business Sunday.
