2 more points.

TonySCV · 02-26-2011, 05:40 PM

They won a home matinee game. That should be worth 4 points.

Ugly, ugly 3rd, but a win's a win.

Orenji · 02-26-2011, 05:41 PM

Kings shouldn't be happy with that game. We should have that 5-0/5-1. These are type of games that will kill us if we make the playoffs.

SECOND TIME we have been up 4-0 and almost let the other team comeback in the 3rd off stupid penalties and bad behind-the-net decisions.

Hopefully Lombardi makes some deals. Happy to get the points, though.

Bernier wouldn't have given up that third goal.

Muzzinga · 02-26-2011, 05:42 PM

I was never worried...............

Your not wrong.

Rusty Batch · 02-26-2011, 05:42 PM

is quick the worst goalie in the NHL at playing the puck behind the net? Seriously, he needs to clean that up.

FrozenKing18 · 02-26-2011, 05:42 PM

2 points. It would've been great to see a shutout.

RonSwanson* · 02-26-2011, 05:43 PM

Quick gives up 3 goals on 17 shots. ouch.

He's probably one of, if not the best, at being flexible, making great saves, and shootouts.

But he also is the worst playing the puck.

So I guess it evens out.

CTKingsFan · 02-26-2011, 05:44 PM

The was disappointing win.... BUT it's win!

Bernier would be crucified if he had today's performance.

Both goalies have been solid and neither have been at fault for the goals except for that last one. Quick really needs to make better decisions behind the net and if he isn't sure, just pass it hard around the boards, not up the middle with a soft pass.

I'm not really bashing Quick, I know he is a good goalie. And I agree with what you say about his positives.

But come on bro, your so good at the tough plays why can't you figure out the easy ones?
