Steve Palumbo: Ducks Get Crowned by the Kings

When the Ducks were not up after the 2nd, I knew they were in trouble. They controlled the scoring chances in the second and could not finish. It could have easily been 5-2 after the 2nd but Ducks shot just wide on open nets or hit the cross bar. Ducks have got to bury those chances or bad things happen.

Why do the schedule makers hate the ducks so much, 10 sets of back to backs kings only have 8?? I also dont understand why the ducks get 5 days off then have 5 games in 7 days including 2 sets of back to backs. To me, atleast in the past, it seems like the whenever the ducks play the kings they are in the 2nd half of back to backs while the kings have a day off before they play.

Between Fasth and Quick, Southern California has the speediest goaltenders in the league.

Thank you, thank you! I'm here all week. Try the veal!

wonder if they'll lean towards Hiller now. The loss and a bad game were bound to happen to Faseth but I hope they still view him as their number 1 guy.

Please....the Kings played 11 of the last 15 on the road. Because of the shortened season each team has some scheduling difficulties.

Typical Ducks fan...whining about scheduling instead of the actual game.

Don't forget that the Ducks hosted the Avs one day after the Kings played them. It all evens out.

I disagree , Second period was wide open and it could have been 5-2 kings after 2. Kings had as many if not more chances. Fasth was good for two but while the Kings were firing on all cylinders all the ducks looked tired in the third.

If we're talking about typical fans we have to acknowledge the fact that kings fans are the whiniest of the entire league. It's a known fact to every fanbase except your own. If you want to argue about more road games you should check the stats. The kings have only played one more road game than the ducks. Big whoop.

Also for the rest of the year, the kings get the ducks' sloppy seconds three times the night after while only once the other way. The schedule is always like this, which is why us ducks fans continue to point out the obvious.
