Agreed, the kings didn't get much either.  It was as tightly fought game as you could get.  The kings definitely have Vancouvers number

 

It came down to 3 mistakes that lead to all their goals.  Otherwise super tight checking playoff hockey.

Live and learn.  

You have to be able to beat those types of teams in post season.  

 

One more game vs LAK left in regular season.  They are a potential second round opponent. 

 

I think in the post season that's a winnable game and series. We made a couple mental lapses ... LA was just a little more focused and shut us down while capitalizing on their opportunities.

 

As @Darius mentioned it really helps to score first on these guys.

The encouraging part was early on not much was happening but Vancouver was taking it to them physically.

 

Good sign for the playoffs, and that's without Joshua too.

46-24 hits. Lafferty had 8, Miller had 7.

Also our coach needs to figure out in-game tactics when the other team adjusts. LA figured out that the Canucks were knifing it in all game so they parked one defender at the hash marks the whole third period. We kept handing the puck to him and because he's already at their net he has loads of time to grab the puck, look around and make a play.

 

Needless to say we continued to knife it in the whole period.

 

Reminds me of AV. Hell of a coach, but couldn't adjust to the other team mid game to save his life and that's why we never won the cup with our stacked team. Great pre-game strategist, but not mid-game.

What ended up costing us was that line change where we only had 4 players on the ice for LA's 1st goal

The line change wouldn't have mattered had Boeser continued to skate after his guy got by him. Literally stopped skating to cover absolutely nobody and then the guy cut right back into the space he should have occupied had he moved at least one of his legs.

Veeeeeery tight grinding game. LA got some lucky bounces and simply worked a few % harder then we did. Come playoff time theres gonna be a lot more of these types of games, hope we learn from it.... 

 

Couldn't have said it better myself. If we didn't make 3 F#$k ups we'd likely be in the 2nd OT right now battling for the winner.

We win that game with Lindholm, Demko and Joshua. Team needs Lindholm, forward group was not good in their own end tonight in my opinion.

 

1st Kings goal was unacceptable, can’t happen.

 

Also we need to stop looking for the perfect play in a game like this. Just shoot everything on net.

 

Lindholm is more than some people think.  You don’t know it until he is not in the lineup…

Not even close. Quinn went off for a change when the play was coming back our way and no one came on to replace him.

Still wouldn't have affected play if Boeser did his job.

If you're seriously trying to say we lost the game because Lind-🏠 was out tonight, then i will officially Crown you "RU SERIOUS 2" 😉.
