Old Man Recchi FTW!!!!!!!!

Soupy with the garbage at the end.

4 goals in the last 3:22 of the game.

Went tonight, was a great 56 minutes played by Fleury and the Pens That call on Orpik and then Staal really sealed the deal. Didn't have luxury of replay really at the game so i"ll refrain from commenting lol

That staal penalty was garbage and definitely sealed the fate of the game, but Pens only played 56 mins.

@ Moog and the Queens.

From what I saw, the Pens got more than their fair share of gifts from the refs.

Yumcha

Mitchell and Poni were injured last night, right...?

Jonesi

noes!!!!!!

You laugh...I cried.

Seriously that 2nd period was completely phoned in by the Kings.

I seriously think that they have tuned out Terry Murray. Seriously.

This team is sinking fast....seriously fast.

Something serious needs to be done soon....very soon.

New coach? Big trade? Both?

Do something Deano....because all I see now is the Kings moving up the draft board.

Seriously.

Yumcha

Itty-bitty Schenn to the rescue?


And that's alot of serious. Seriously.

Nice to see Sharp added...well deserved.

Yumcha

And :ibvenomandspewfromWaldorfforQuickandDoughtynotonr oster:...

Moog-Type-S

Nope...they don't deserve to be there.

Yumcha

Wow...you really must be upset.


Well, slumps happen, dude. They just need to make the playoffs and anything can happen there.

And honestly, I think Lombardi has a shot at some decent players coming up. He just needs to decide how much in-love he is with his pipeline.

Moog-Type-S

I'm not a myopic fan....I'm a realist....always have been.

Coaching is the bigger problem IMHO.

This team has shown it can be a top team in the league (early this season they were a BEAST!).....but now they are Jekyl and Hyde.

That screams coaching failures.

Yumcha

I dunno about that. Maybe I don't watch as many Kings games as you...but, in the games I've seen, I think it is more the growing pains of a young team that does not bring it every period.





That being said, your problems do somewhat mirror Chicago's. They are horrifically inconsistent. Their inability to hold 3rd periods is hair-pulling...and so is the terrible PK percentage. But, is it Coach Q's fault? I disagree...It is still more the inconsistent play of the newbies and the players still trying to get everyone on the same page (i.e. role).

Yumcha

So, we're going to chalk up your thinking of Poni and Mitchell as being keys to the Kings success as you being a non-realist, yes?


Cuz, c'mon!

dom

I'd panic too if my team just lost to the Leafs.

dom

And Reimer stood on his head in the 3rd.

Yumcha

I'll see losing to the Leafs and raise you losses (twice) to the Oilers and the Devils.

Moog-Type-S

I go with the stats....you dispute them....but you can't.

Yumcha

So, when I went with stats last season about how a no-name goalie could do it, I was myopic...but, in your case, it is not?


Well...I won't argue any more with you on this one (RE: Mitchell and Poni). Just still think it is more a coincidence than anything else.

Yumcha

But, in all seriousness, I don't think Waldorf is myopic.


A bit , yes...but, not myopic.

dom

Seriously? Seriously?

No one ever said a no name goalie couldn't do it. What I(we) did was point to stats and history that showed its not as likely. Not impossible but you'll have a better chance with a proven goaltender. The stats prove that did they not? or are you denying that as well?

Yumcha

Didn't mean to strike a nerve. But, I never believed the past systems to work well considering how the recent trend had proven otherwise. And I kept saying that the recent winners were not using a franchise-type goaltender.

Look at your own goalie who was a Cup winner. He was a no-name until his play in the 2 Duck runs...

And besides, we all know Chicago was trying to be Detroit Part 2 (i.e. with Osgood)...and so, the success of the team was predicated on one thing: a puck-possession play that was supported by a swift and mobile D.

Chicago didn't need a name-brand goalie.




Anyhow, friends?

Yumcha

And really, I think that debate is never going to go anywhere. I just recall you guys kept harping on Chicago's impossible chance on winning a Cup and me saying it was possible. Traditional stats versus recent trends.



Anyhow, water under the bridge.

dom

And there we have the root of our problem. Revisionist history. I would never say anything is impossible. Leafs making the playoffs this year excluded.

And no we're not friends....I have an iPhone.

Yumcha

iPhone!?? That's like saying you root for the Red Wings or the Dikings...

Moog-Type-S

Clearly, Statler is crazier than I.....either that or he has a horrible memory

Moog-Type-S

What are you? My clone?

Next your gonna say your kid is in mite hockey too.....oh wait

Well, duh...everyone knows I'm probably as as they come.
