It wasn’t that the Canucks had lost 2 straight
It wasn’t that they had lost 3 straight at home
It wasn’t that they were sick of losing to the Kings at home
They actually got CAUGHT cheating this time but it was too little too late
Jonathan Quick wasn’t at his best and the Canucks were
Can’t win ‘em all.
Doughty -2 and still without a goal.
BERNIE NICHOLLS, YOU ROCK
Following the Kings win over the Red Wings, Nicholls tweeted the following:
“There was a lot of Red Wings jersey at Staples tonight very disappointing but Fuck them Kings Fucking rocked.”
He took it down but not before it went viral
ADD ANOTHER TO KINGS MISTAKES
Matt Moulson, Teddy Purcell and now Andrei Loktionov who scored his 3rd goal of the season (tying goal) with New Jersey today and now has 5 points in his last 5 games.
I’m still pissed about the Kings letting go of Loktionov. Very promising player. The next time the Kings and Devils play, I’m predicting Lokti will get a hat trick because it seems that all players Kings trade away come back to bite them in the ass, and hard.
We have no room for Lotki. We have Kopi, Richards and Carter, three centers locked up forever and he’s not going to put up points on the bottom two lines. He’s getting top 6 minutes at center for the Devils and he would have never gotten that here. We won the cup without him, who cares. The way I see it, we traded him for a young top 10 pick solid defenseman and we needed a D man much more than a center. The other thing, as Ellerby said in an interview, is that the teams in the Eastern Conference play a more wide open game and it leads to higher scoring games while the Western Conference has more low scoring grind em out games. Moulson, Purcell and Lotki have gone east where personally I don’t think the defensive game is nearly as good as the west. I’ve also been wondering why Carter and Kopi haven’t been paired up yet.
We had room for him. We have a gluten of centers beyond the 3 you mentioned as Lewis and Fraser are also centers. However, this team is lacking in scoring, Even if he centered the 3rd line, I still say that is an improvement over Stoll. That guy is a waste and way overpaid…….very handsome though.
I agree about the Eastern Game though as we have seen player after player come to the Kings such as Steve Heinz, Martin Straka, Simon Gagne etc etc over the years and not be as successful.
Meanwhile, yuour favorite whipping boy Brain Boyle…

At least we have Trevor “Flash” (no finish) Lewis and his speed, and Jarret “Too many penalties” Stoll. They should have traded away those two before Lokitonov. Its not like this team couldnt use more scoring…….
When is Sutter going to put Carter and Kopitar together?
