- The game is already over. But I don’t know what happened. I’m watching the recorded game. So this is a backwards version of live-blogging. Live-blogging on tape-delay.
- Drew Doughty in; Viatcheslav Voynov to Manchester. I’m not going to complain about this. I get it. I’m kind of liking my idea of trading Matt Greene and going with pairs of Rob Scuderi – Doughty, Jack Johnson – Voynov and Alec Martinez – Willie Mitchell.
- Simon Gagne is hurt? I guess it’s time for Penner to step up. I think he’s up to the challenge. [post viewing note: eh, not quite]
- I hope Scott Parse scores tonight.
- Will Trent Hunter persist in being underwhelming? [post-viewing note: yes]
- “Mid body injury.” Ha ha.
- Richards to Parse. Still like.
- I wish the Time-Warner remote had the “skip ahead 30 seconds” button.
- Parse great pass/then shot. (@17:00-ish). Buzzing.
- @15:00-ish: Martinez nice puck battle along boards cancelled out by hideous up-the-middle pass.
- Brad Richardson – Jarret Stoll – Justin Williams? Is that a line? No, just half a change.
- Doughty, bad pinch but got back.
- Kings power-play…
- I hate the power-play dump-in.
- Williams gives the puck to two Yotes…
- With “beard”, Doughty looks even more like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds.
- Great drawn-penalty by Richardson.
- I do not want Williams and Stoll making cute passes at the blueline on the power play.
- Mitchell – Greene, the post-PP speed unit.
- Ah, Patrick O`Sullivan… Not that he did anything. I just forgot he was there.
- We do love the left to right ring-around. By we I mean the Kings. Not me. I do not like.
- Richardson and Parse have been the most lively Kings so far. @3:11
- Nice take-away by Williams. Bad neutral zone pass by Penner.
- Trent Hunter break-out turnover. Sit on bench, please.
- Hey, Heidi Androl at the rink where my kid plays.
- Yes, and that’s what the new Kings logo looks like at center ice. It’s not too dark, as some thought it might be (I mean, if the Kings were to do it at Staples). So why again does Staples have the secondary logo?
- What would you call this shade of red in the Phoenix jerseys? It’s slightly deeper than the Red Wings‘ red, isn’t it?
- Hunter doesn’t understand deliberate offsides rule. Strike two.
- Another nice takeaway by Parse.
- GOAL. Mike Richards. Quick release. I hope Parse gets a point. He made that play.
- Willie Mitchell, assist? Why?
- No, that’s got to be changed. It was Parse.
- Turnover by JJ, but is there a reason Kopitar doesn’t stay on his feet there? Oh well. 1-1.
- Nice skate pass to Brown by Parse. Mike Richards has too many teeth to be on that line.
- I saw a fake scar at a Halloween store today that looked exactly like Greene’s new one.
- Nice battling in front of the net by Penner.
- Nice job by Greene to get that shot through.
- Why is Williams the forward in deep in the defensive zone?
- Haven’t seen POS in a while.
- Nice movement by Parse, Brown, Doughty, Richards.
- Oh, f-ing Radim Vrbata.
- Blown assignment: Justin Williams.
- 4-on-3. Why wasn’t that puck cleared (Greene, Kopitar)?
- The Coyotes power-play reminds me how much I hate the Kings power-play. Yes, I know the Kings are very good by the numbers.
- There’s O’Sullivan.
- 3rd period. Kings power-play. Grrrrrrr.
- I’d rather see more of Richards and Parse on the PP. And more Martinez and Voynov. Oh.
- GOAL by the post-PP Richardson – Kopitar – Hunter line.
- I like sending Kopitar out first thing after the PP.
- Williams, Lewis and Clifford. That would be punishment for the missed assignment?
- Great play by Klesla on Kopitar.
- Another nice drive by Penner.
- Hey, Greene got back fast.
- I know Brown said recently that he absolutely hasn’t changed his hitting philosophy because of the head-hit rules. But I think he’s changed his style. Maybe he’s just consciously trying to be less “big hit” and more “big gun.”
- Kings are in their third period “prevent defense”, but they’re not ahead. This is dangerous, isn’t it?
- Ethan Moreau cross-ice pass in the defensive zone, with 4 minutes left? Nearly picked off. Take a seat.
- Parse penalty…I think Daymond Langkow clamps down on that stick. Veteran move.
- Quick and Mitchell save game.
- Hmm. Power play in OT. JJ game winner? He’s got two…
- Doughty misses by ten feet.
- Four guys standing around…
- Kopitar shanks it.
- Mitchell almost scores.
- QUICK.
- Fox says “toe nail save.”
- Parse back on D. That’s not good.
- Not offside. Boo.
- What?
- What was that?
- Okay, that was just silly. Not JJ’s fault. Just flukey.
- Blame the loss on PP failure.
- Kopitar needs to finish those. The OT one, and the one in the third.
- Did the Kings out-shoot the Coyotes? I’ll bet they did. That would make them 1-2-1 when they out-shoot their opponents.
