huet was BRILLIANT! and how much more can i say about frolov.. i love him! we looked pretty flat all night long, turco barely had to work until late in the 3rd.. huet just came up big! now its time to go back home and beat the ducks in the back to back series!
Way to tie it up Frolov!!!!!!!! He picked the best time to come out of the slump he was in!!!! Ill take the point and award this point to Huet...way to go KINGS!!!!!!
I was very impressed with the Zizka-Gleason pairing tonight. A good combination of skating ability and the hitting of Gleason.
The Kings defense is really starting to come together, but for some reason Modry loves to turn over the puck just after the Kings blue line.
Holland-Norstrom was also solid tonight, with Holland saving Huet after he over- commited to Guerin(?) on the wrap around. I thought Norstrom did an unbelievable job on Arnott and Guerin tonight. I would split the game puck between Huet and Norstrom.
Cammy could of had a couple tonight as well. Hopefully that goal will get Frolov back on track. The Kings are looking very good as a team now that Andy has stopped messing with the line combinations.
If the Kings want to get a first round upset win, they really need to start playing better in overtime. 2-15-7 is not going to cut it in the playoffs.
19 Games to go before the playoffs.
The Kings need to get a sweep this weekend against the Sucks. 4 points and a little luck can see the Kings only 2 points out of the division lead.
Agree. The Zizka, Gleason pairing has been progressing nicely!
I love the way Gleason has been driving down low with the puck. It really reminds me of the way Blake used to do. If he can play this way consistantly, and progress in the little aspects of the game(add in a little PP time), then DT definately fleeced Ottawa in this deal.
Zizka has been playing well since the Buffalo blow out. I didn't see the goal but i'm glad to see Fro get it. He's been in a scoring slump but his game wasn't in a slump. He's been playing well all year.
Big road point especially after falling behind. 3 points up on the Blues who have 2 games in hand. Their next 3 games are all on the road against Colorado, Vancouver and San Jose so this could be a make or break point for them.
I'm glad the Kings got a point. Frolov came through for us, Huet came up big with some key saves, especially in overtime. I'm happy we didn't give Dallas an extra point.
First off, I love the Kings effort and kinda dig the fact you guys will never go away. Congrats on a well deserved point..
Second, I would like to ask you what you guys thought of Don Sweeney? He has played like this for most of the season, and Stars fans are starting to get pretty high on him, but, I would appreciate how non-Stars fans feel about him, any input welcome.

Same Don Sweeney as always. A solid 2/5(yes at one point he was a solid number 2 in Boston) guy who can chip in a few points. He has never been swift skater but has slowed down even more in recent years-still not bad though. He plays a good positional game(because he has to) this allows him to make good hits(see last night). A great leader(by example) who will do anything for his team.
I had wanted to reply to sydor's post but there were so many I just went on my own. All grand points. IF the last four games are any indicator of what Zizka will do from this point out then I appologize for my ribbing Andy on him. Great effort. I will say though that if he put the same brilliant coaching into Rosa and some others you have to wonder.
Frolov with the highlight reel goal. Splits two Dallas players and beat Turco glove side high. Camms on that line opens things up and they were buzzing all night.
Luc had another poor game. That is to say he hasn't been Luc for the past week and even before, he had a nice goal but a poor effort on defence. I am certain it is a slump and reckon that soon he will be back on his game.
Sweeney I thought had a grand game. Solid and stable with some nice mobility. I always felt he were grand before the Stars got him and so no reason to think anything different after last nights game. Nice first pass.
Huet certainly has stepped up his play. IF he can keep this up he will go a long way towards getting that #1 talent label back.
Great game, i wanted a win but all things considered, worthy tie.

The difference in the playoff's is it's not 4 v 4 which we seem to have a problem with due to Ziggy and Lubo being out. I like our chances, even in OT, when it's 5 v 5.
The song will come through BOTH times against Anaheim. But after that I dont want to ware it out, and risk losing after the song is played. Ill play it during huge games. Song record: 2-0-1-0

You'd better play that song 5 or 6 times this weekend!

lakings.com - they have the highlights after every game. This one is on the front page of the website, just click on the story and it has the link to the highlights of the game.
I kept re-playing it over and over because I couldn't believe how bad the Dallas defenders looked as Frolov blew past by them! Then he fooled Turco and scored ... awesome job, Frolov!
Wow! Froly beats 4 of the six Big D players on that goal, both D's a forward and "Tuco" ("Don't die on me Blondie, you son of a bit..."). Boucher fans will see the second year Ruskie blow by San Philippe. Nice!
