PrintLet's take a walk back in time. The Kings have allowed more than 10 goals in 2 consecutive playoff games 21 times (note: I did not count any one game in more than one pair -- for example, if they allowed 5, 8, 3 in three consecutive games, I did not count it as a 13 and an 11, just as 13):
- 2011 -- 12
- 2010 -- 13
- 2000 -- 10
- 1998 -- 10
- 1993 -- 14, 11, 11
- 1990 -- 13, 11, 11
- 1989 -- 13
- 1988 -- 15, 13
- 1987 -- 19, 11
- 1982 -- 11, 10
- 1981 -- 16
- 1977 -- 14, 11
- 1968 -- 13

where are they?
I posted this over at LAKi — i’ll toss it up here too….
i’m kinda curious as to TM’s thoughts (and everyone else’s) on DD and JJ. Game 2 they decided to show up and well, look at the result. the rest of the games they’ve been no-shows. so while there’s all this talk about penner/moller/stoll/westgarth etc…..what about the guys we are hoping to build this team on? where are they?

“History Takes The Leading Role”
I can tell you TM's thoughts...
“Well, they haven’t been sticking to the system. Those two, in particular need to step in up. They have the potential to be real game changers, but they haven’t been sticking to the system, and they are getting exposed. I’ve said all along, that those two young players could make the difference jumping into the play but when you don’t play defense first you can get exposed and that is what has been happening. If we can just stick to our system…blah, blah, blah”
Stick to the system, you know the very structured one that doesn’t really allow for rogue or creative action, but do something great already, would you? I think all of the players are feeling the pressure and confusion of two opposing messages and are responding with confused and rather manicky kind of play.

So what you're saying is....
Gretz may suit up for us then tomorrow night?
On a lighter note Quisp
have you seen Brian Boucher so far tonight. Paul Holmgren better damn well hope his team bails Boucher (and himself) out as he figured it was fine to go with that level of goaltending. He just gave up the worst two goal combo in a short period of time I’ve ever seen in a playoff game.
Leighton
Holy cow Leighton is back! The only action he’s had since the Stanley Cup Finals last year was one game this year (anyone remember Philly over the Kings 7-4?). I know Bobrobsky didn’t play too well, but I’m surprised he’s scratched (is he injured?).

I can’t believe they went back to Leighton over Bobrovsky. Goalie carousel.
5’9" 163 lb. Tyler Ennis with the winning goal. What do you bet that if he were a King, everyone would deem him too small?

I can’t wait to hear Flyer fans’ defense of Paul Holmgren this year. He seemed to be the only guy not capable of recognizing the fluke that was Philly’s goal-tending last year, and has consistently failed to plug that hole over the past four seasons. They should have at least 1, if not 2, cups by now…
Oh, Flyers fans are plenty critical of Holmgren.
I think Holmgren decided to go all in on the Pronger window and add more offensive depth, since the Hawks got away with that formula last year. But I still give them a good shot.

Yeah?
Well Philly has a boatload of work to do because they need to win two in a row now just to advance to the next round.
Maybe we could trade them a goalie. God knows they have plenty of firepower and goal scoring prowess between Carter, Briereioni, Giroux (untouchable I’m certain), Ricards (obviously untouchable) unless they decide to trade him straight up for Gretzky, JvR….. letz ceee, who else? Can you tell I’m getting delirious? I need to go to bed. Such a pleasure to see Bobby Ryan’s amazing goal tonigiht. At least reassuring to know he’s the only goal scoring skilled forward the Ducks have.
Oh yeah, that’s right, they have Getzlaf and Corey Perry too don’t they?
Hey, I’ve been staying up very late for these ot Kings game back east. You can see it’s caught up with me.
If the Flyers were to make room for a goalie they’d get rid of someone like Leino or Versteeg or a defenseman, not Giroux or Richards, you’re right. But if Holmgren doesn’t value experienced goaltenders, I don’t know if he’ll start now.
They would do well to sign Bryzgalov, but I just read a lot of people dissing him because of the Wings series. That’s extremely short sighted. I assume they don’t get to watch him in action very often. Bryz to the Wings is a scary thought.
And hey, I just watched those skilled Duck forwards log too many minutes and then choke with 30 odd seconds left in the third. They fell quickly in OT. So damn satisfying!

Answer me this
How is it that Moller isn’t even considered unless they need him to replace injured and/or suspended players.? Not by any means saying he’s as talented as Ennis. Maybe if they continued to play him at his natural center position instead of forcing him to play a wingers game up against the boards.
Manchester...
Just lost 2-1/ tied 3-3 in the series… in OT#2
Consecutive OT losses for Manchester, game 7-Manchester on Saturday
4 OT games of 6 games
great, if they play their cards right
schenn can get eliminated in manchester and get recalled to the kings in time to be eliminated in LA, after already having lost in Saskatoon and lost in the WJC gold medal game. learning to win.
Wait till this year.
I can already see the Schenn is a playoff choker la times articles of the future
Quite possibly the only LA Kings fan living in Brooklyn, New York.
Thats good Quispie....
In a dark “mash” sort of way
Well at least they're learning how to play the same
in OT as the big club…….
