The Kings had 5 perfect opportunities. Brad Richardson just needed to tap it in!!! Oh well. This felt exactly the same as Game 1 against the Canucks last year. I feel terrible for Quick, he literally stood on his head to make some saves in OT. The Kings dug themselves a hole early and dominated the 2nd and 3rd. At one point in the 2nd they were outshooting the Sharks 15-2. It will be an exhausting series. I felt tired after watching it.

kinda funny. in the Hawks, Bruins, and Kings lost we all dominated half the game at least. Had great chances and just couldnt finish it off. i think all 3 will be great series. though that hit on White wasnt to good. he was in no mans land for sure

A huge factor was Justin Williams. Just coming back after 4 weeks of rehab was amazing! Dislocated shoulder and he scores a goal and gets an assist. Wow! He will be the Kings leader in offense without-a-doubt. He was second in points behind Kopi.

I just saw the Stoll hit. How did I miss it? It's surprising to see that from Stool, very surprising. He is such a classy player and such a classy guy. I saw an interview with him about it. He was extremely apologetic and said he would accept and welcome any punishment the league would give him. He also said he is embarrassed something like that happened and he didn't intentionally do it.

you could see he didnt do it on purpose. just look at his face after he realized what he did. was it a bad hit yes but it didnt look like there was an intent. have any of you heard how White is and or if the league has made a decision about a potential punishment?

Stoll is suspended for Game 2. Ian White will be out also. This is a huge blow for the Kings. If Williams wasn't back it'd be Game Over...
