That's pretty weak. You gotta blow the whistle 3-4 whacks and nothing happens. The refs have been quick on the whistles come on blotch ways sir. None of that I have vision of the puck bullpoop it's under his pad for a good 3 seconds.

We're about to get a 5th powerplay on a phantom goalie interference. You can't say the refs are against us.

here comes another waste of two minutes

It was under his pad for far less than 3 seconds, the whole play wasn't even 3 seconds. Still, it should have been whistled dead.

That said, you've had 2 make-up calls and a 5-on-3 you couldn't capitalize on. The refs made a bad call but you can't blame them for where your team is at.

lol, they call that interference.. yet the wonderful goal in the caroilna series isn't an interference... cuz of the 'blue paint'? oh please he barely touched him.

That was the biggest dive I've ever seen by Quick.

calls are one thing to screw up, but a goal is another. theres a call.. a gifted penalty.. which doesn't win u a game unless you score on it. And then, there is a goal.. which if its called correctly.. eliminates a goal from being scored, and if called incorrectly, breaks a 0-0 tie.

yes, we should've capitalized. shame on us for not scoring. but shame on the refs for giving LA a goal.

We seriously need to put four skaters out there. Our passes are horrendous.

More ice time for JJ and Carter, our only consistent players.

The refs can't give us a makeup call because a powerplay kills our momentum.

You're right. It's the Hull goal in Dallas all over again. If the Kings win, let's all not recognize it as a valid Cup!

My point is - it doesn't matter. It is a goal. It shouldn't have been. It is. That happens in hockey to every team.

If you guys keep playing like you have this game, perhaps you can get it back but you have to capitalize on your chances, work hard and make your own luck to get a bounce or crappy call like the Kings got.

I don't think one of our shots has left the ice. We're not gonna beat quick doing it. There are rebounds but the kings are great at clearing them.

put Poni on the 4th line. move Carter with JJ-Clarkson

There's nothing the Devils are doing that makes me think they'll score anytime soon. No one exudes confidence and no one seems dangerous with the puck. Kings just look bigger and faster as this game creeps on. Devils are slowly losing the play. And they've been down 1 with the majority of the play. It could get ugly if they don't even it up.

Clarksons been crap too.

these "marty" chants are pathetic. no enthusiasm.

why dont be try our 4th line on the pp with say Vol and Fayne for fun on d ...

They probably aren't even drunk.

I'm not giving up but it's obviously looking bleak. The better team is winning right now and that's that. Besides Quick, the skill level of their "size" players is just giving us fits, as it has other teams the whole playoffs. Kopitar's skill level is amazing, but his defensive prowess is really unique in such a big and offensively skilled center.

It's LA - they're drunk on wheat grass and self-importance.

Poni looks lost put Sykora in...

I;m going to shut this off during the PP. I'll check back in three minutes. Let me know how it goes.

Clarksons been crap too.
- rmdevil313

true. just bench Clarkson and Poni. this is so annoying to watch. 1 team capitalizes. the other team misses OPEN nets with NO pressure (Fayne) and hits posts with 10 seconds left ..

Our skill players just aren't good enough. Quick hasn't been amazing, we're shooting right to his strength. We're getting chances, just not making it hard enough. Our skill players have been absolute poop.
