I thought there were a few more calls that could've gone against the bolts that were missed... but not like the PP would've cashed any of them anyway. Quick kept the boys in that game longer than they should've been. Kopi is not making the little plays with the puck that we've come to take for granted. Would be interested to know if he's using a new stick or something. Maybe a nagging injury? Maybe just time catching up with him...

Kopitar has a mental block whose name is Vasilevskiy... lol.

I kid, was a very fun game at the arena. These two teams don't really like each other even though they are not in the same division. Both goalies played great, the OT was great. Refs are refs, we were yelling Refs you Suck a few times and I am sure the Kings fans felt the same.

Two good teams, fun game to watch. Best of luck to the Kings in the west.

The trip on Arvidsson in overtime was more of a penalty than the trip on Perry at the end of the 2nd. There's going to be poor officiating from time to time, but this game was especially blatant.

Sadly one missed penalty led straight to the OT goal. Normally bad calls and missed calls don't directly decide a game, but unfortunately it did in this case.

At least it happened in a non-conference game and they got one point out of it.
