Ben Shelley: Kings battle back against Hurricanes, lose in marathon shootout

Close, but no cigar.

While the team is far from synced defensively, it is still hard to not see how bad our goaltending is. Unless they play like they dont have a goalie it will be a long season of us trying to play old school last goal wins hockey....

I thought the Kings would have to win 4-3 games, but I was wrong... They're going to have to score 8 every night...

i guess i am the odd one out so far..

Yes it is only 2 games into the season, but the Canes loss i hardly blame Copley. he did not look great, but Fiala coughing up breakaways like there was no tomorrow really hurt us. and Roy...are you trying to injure your own teammates? I know we need to play physical, but that cross-check that caused the Canes player to land of Gavrikov's ankle was dumb...

Kings need to make a few adjustments and i think it wont be as bad as people are making these first two games out to be

Yes, Fiala was playing like he was drunk. I haven't heard anything, but it looked like the ice might've been bad that night. I saw the puck stick on a couple of occasions for CAR too. But Copley was bad. He made one huge save and a bunch of AHL saves. I cannot stand Sasquatch Burns but why is that he can get 80% of his shots through to the net while Drew gets about 8%??

Burns has always been great at taking space in the circle. Drew hangs back too far like a lot of defenders. Over time, I think that 5ish feet makes a big difference in production.
