Beautiful first and Kings finally held them to 30SOG (careful what you wish for I guess! ) and looked decent defensively minus the PK. Can't win em all, just sucks we gotta wait until Sunday...

Kings played a better game than they did on Sunday, but couldn't get more than 1 goal. Richards, Carter and King did not impress. IMO they did not do enough during their time on the ice, with King being the worst of the 3. not sure why Sutter insisted on putting him on the ice so much. he did have some good plays, but overall i wouldn't have put him out as much as Sutter did.

Vancouver is a completely different team with Daniel in the lineup. they finally stopped shooting themselves in the foot trying to out tough the Kings which is not tough to do. the power play is down right scary with Daniel in the lineup.

that said, Kings were stupid for not hitting either Daniel or Henrik. this was about as soft a playoff game as i've ever seen. Brown stopped hitting and the only guy going out of his way to make contact was Greene. they need to put bodies on the twins and not worry about payback. get the Nucks to go back to taking stupid penalties like they were in games 1, 2 and part of game 3.

it is complete BS they have 3 days off before game 5. i think the most time off i've seen in a playoff series is 2 days, but 3 is just stupid.

I'm very worried that there will be a comeback.
That's not sarcasm either. I truly believe that they are going to comeback and win the series.

I'm worried now that Daniel Sedin is back, because it made their powerplay so deadly. I'm worried that the refs are going to call soft calls against LA, to get Vancouver back in the series. If that happens, Vancouver might shred them on the powerplay. I'm also worried that LA has only been able to score 2 goals in 64 shots on Schneider.

Hoping for a miracle, if there's any team that knows how to choke it's the LA Kings since 1967.

And the Vancouver Canucks since 1970. Not really a good example to try and make a point.

you have to actually accomplish something to have a chance to choke. LA, sadly, has not really accomplished anything besides one cup run in '93. maybe they choked, maybe they didn't, but that's one time. Vancouver has been considered a serious contender for what 5 years now? that's choking on a consistent basis my friend!
