DeBoers changes worked well today. In hindsight changes should of been made for game 3.
Sykora got Elias going tonight. Patty had a great game.
Tallinder did well in his first game for so long.
And I like Salvaldor-Volchenkov pairing despite Sal having a couple of bad plays in the game. They were very physical and we matched the Kings physicality tonight.
No. No. No. I HATE when a guy scores a goal and suddenly has a "great game". He was terrible the entire game, including losing a faceoff CLEAN on the PK leading to the goal.
Happy he scored obviously, but that shouldnt cause people to ignore drop passes to no one and being very weak on the puck all series (and a lot of the playoffs).
between that reporter, the anjee kopidor and brad doughty incident, and that video espn made asking kings "fans" to spell the names of the players, i'm starting to wonder if anyone at that arena even knew the kings existed two months ago.
As someone who's watch Tallinder his entire career I can say with complete confidence that this was easily the best game of his career tonight. EASILY. Dude was was playing with a purpose and made all of the right decisions.
he made one bad pinch in the first but was otherwise brilliant.
Why take Sykie out? Patty had a great game tonight. He had some blemishes, but Sykora, and Elias are like Batman, and Robin. Sometimes they slump like they did early in the playoffs. Think they got sparked tonight.

And I kinda like Torts after hearing these stupid reporters ask terrible questions.
lol I have to admit that was a NY Post-type question about the Kings 'having trouble closing out series' because they're 3-3 in elimination games. I hope they have trouble closing out this one but losing Game 4 is a blip on the screen.
At least we have three days to make them think about that and stew about another trip back east, and three days for Devil fans to get fired up for Saturday.
You're a reporter asking about a player... shouldn't you at least know how to say the player's name?
I don't wanna go off topic, but can you please tell me who that is in your avatar please? She's pretty stunning, and I've been meaning to ask for a while.
Sutter looks like bitter beer man from the Keystone commercials in the 90s. Someone else on here picked up on that too.
