Know Your Enemy: The Kings Goalies & Defense

Let's get one thing out of the way right now: unless you're going to spend this week punching your computer monitor (and if you do, send a pic in), it's best you prepare yourself for a week of awful predictions (that's your cue Scott Burnside), increased Luongo bashing and an overuse of the term "dark horse" to the point where it could choke a chubby girl at the Roxy. OK?
Generally speaking, Vancouver has the edge in offense, LA has the edge in speed and healthy bodies and much of the rest is eerily similar. That includes the goalies who - let's be honest - have both sucked and will be under the most pressure when this starts (Luongo surrendered 33 goals in March, Quick gave up 32). But the post season often means anyone can catch lightning in a bottle (cliche!) so take the regular season results with a grain of salt (more cliches!).
Respect the Kings? Of course. But a certain amount of playoff-driven angst needs to be shared here and the Princely Boys with their frosted tips and disinterested celebrity fans are no exception. Let's take a look at the Kings rank and file that will be entrusted to stopping the Sedins cycle and keep the puck out of the net.
Doughty was the youngest Canadian Olympian to win a gold in February and is the Kings anchor on the blueline. In just his sophomore season he more than doubled his points from his rookie season while only adding about a minute more ice time per game. Along with Scuderi, Doughty will likely be trusted with the Sedins, at least to start the each game. Along with Handzus up front, Doughty will also be seen in most defensive zone starts for obvious reasons. For what it's worth, he hasn't had the best year against the Canucks: he notched two assists and six PIMs but was -4 in four games, his worst against any NHL team this season. Regardless, it's a safe bet that he (along with Dustin Brown) will be the players we learn to hate once this thing is over.
Scuderi may have the best player profile picture I have seen; like he realized he shit himself but the puck is coming. At any rate, the former Pens blueliner took a hit stats wise this year but he didn't earn his four year deal from Los Angeles for offense either. Besides the Cup experience, he's a shutdown blueliner who can cause a great deal of angst for the Sedins or anyone else. Scuderi and Doughty provide the Kings a formidable one-two punch on defense. He finished with no points and a -2 against Vancouver this season.
Jack gives the Kings a frustrating one-two-three punch on defense actually. Johnson should remember us from his first game but, then again, his first goal came against Luongo so perhaps that's adequate revenge. He crushed his career best stats this season by a factor of three and is another threat to to line up against the Sedins or Kesler lines though his qualcomp suggests he's shielded so he may get the weaker Wellwood line. Check his +/-; that's the worst for all Kings defensemen. Though this season he had two assists, two PIMs and was +2 against the Canucks and, if we're real lucky, he'll blog about his first post season experiences or perhaps the best place to grab a mani-pedi while your toy poodle goes for doggy yoga.
Andrew Alberts has an ex-Flyer buddy in Randy Jones, a puck mover who had a rebound year with the Kings and had a good season against Vancouver (3A, +4, 8 PIMs). Though a decent-sized blueliner, Jones doesn't use his body terribly well, isn't a big hitter and can go on a mental vacation sometimes when it comes to proper defensive coverage. He's another guy the qualcomp suggests is shielded from top players, so using the last change at home to get the first or second lines out against him could turn crucial. Rudy Kelly from BoC was kind enough to describe him as basically always shitty so let's hope Randy continues that.
Another stay at home guy, the former Oiler was part of the Jarret Stoll/Lubomir Visnovsky trade from two years ago and signed a five year deal shortly thereafter. It's easy to equate Greene to Alberts: big guy who can crush you but is as nimble as a cruise ship. The speedier Raymond or Grabner (if he plays) could use that to their advantage, especially in the neutral zone. Similar to Jones, using the last change to get the Sedins out would be ideal. He had no points and seven PIMs against Vancouver this year.
Fun fact: O'Donnell was actually traded for Willie Mitchell back when he was on the Wild in 2001. He bounced around for a few years but did win a Cup with Anaheim in 2006-07. He's a big punishing-type player, but at 38, is slowing down and is prone to - wait for it - bad penalties that hurt his team. Hooray! He had four PIM's and was +1 with no points against the Canucks this year.
In his third NHL season, Quick has emerged as the Kings #1 goalie: in 77 games this year, he had a respectable 2.54 GAA and a .907 save percentage. He's a huge reason the Kings are where they are, but there seems to be a debate suggesting they overworked him and that has lead to his drop off in March (remember Luongo being overworked in his second season when the Canucks failed to make the post season?). From the LA Times:
The physical and emotional readiness of goaltender Jonathan Quick has become an issue for the Kings. He was rested for two games last week to work on his technique and give him a mental break, but he’s winless since his return after an overtime loss to the Ducks on Saturday and a no-decision against the Ducks on Tuesday in which he gave up three goals on eight shots and had to watch the Kings’ rally from the bench.
Quick was scheduled to start against the Coyotes on Thursday at Staples Center, his seventh attempt at winning his 40th game of the season. He has two no-decisions, three regulation losses and an overtime loss since his last win, March 22 against Colorado.
Against Vancouver this year, he had a 0-2-1 record, a 2.28 GAA and a .908 save%.
Also in his third season, Ersberg had a career worst .896 save% this year but was sparingly used because (a) Quick is a workhorse and (b) they tried Jonathan Bernier in a few games too (including the 8-3 loss Vancouver suffered a few weeks ago). Ersberg played the final game on Sunday against the Avs, so either they're giving Quick more mental time to get back in shape or seeing what Ersberg has in case he's needed in the offseason. Or both? There isn't too much more to say; Ersberg has never played Vancouver in his career and we'll only see him if Quick truly collapses and, even then, LA may elect to call up Bernier and run with him instead.

I am glad, actually, to see pundits downplay the Canucks or even bet against them. This team plays its best when it sees its opponent as a top-flight team instead of weakling, so the more the press plays up L.A., the better.
The Kings are awesome, man, just awesome.

As a Canucks fan first and a Kings fan second, I’m pretty excited to have a team guaranteed into the second round this year. And I do want to take issue with the lumping LA into other clearly disinterested fan bases (e.g. Phoenix until about two weeks ago, Atlanta since the dawn of time). While the Kings don’t manage to string together 300 consecutive sellouts, those that are dedicated hockey fans are just as hockey literate as anyone north of the border. They’re certainly a lot more dedicated than Duck fans in Orange County (and they don’t have those goddamned quacking kazoo things). Anyways. LA love over.
This series is going to burn a few barns. Both teams can score, and have had some goaltending issues lately. The Kings have more experience than everyone gives them credit for, but, at the end of the day, the Kings firepower is pretty limited.
Thanks Adam. I did make sure to note I didn’t throw their fanbase under the bus, just the “disinterested celebrity fans”. The ones that FSN runs over to and asks about their shitty album and they have this look on their face like they have no idea what the name of the hometown team is. It’s a waste of time and an insult to the rest of the fans, Kings fans or otherwise.
Or maybe I just hate their music. That’s entirely possible too.

The celebrity fan base was annoying, for sure. The best way to avoid it was just to go to the game anyway. Way cheaper to go to a Kings game.
Speaking of music, though, if any team in the league has the right to rock ‘Back in Black,’ it’s the Kings. I don’t even like ACDC, but, man, it sent chills down my spine going to playoff games in LA when they’d play it. It pumps you up more than ‘Where the Streets Have No Name’ ever could.
No no, I didn’t mean I hate the house music, just the music of the douche they are talking to. Like the fly by night artist who is in town for 30 seconds, stays at the Oakwood Apartments, does his or her lame album, runs away when no one listens and years later they are working at Dennys or end up in Thailand with a bevy of underage hookers.

Quick can outplay Luongo over 7 games if and only if the Canucks can be kept to perimeter shots, one-save kinda stuff on which any NHL goalie will look great (“wow, what reflexes!”).
If the Canucks consistently get in close for screens and rebounds, they’ll do fine.

I’m looking forward to seeing Doughty do his thing, he really impressed me in the Olympics.
I really feel that our D is better, their bottom 3 is a bit suspect. And I just can’t see Quick outplaying Lu.
Poutine & Meatballs
Keep in mind they already said Salo, SOB and Rome will be ready by gametime. So the D is not decimated outside of Willie’s injury and that’s been a constant since January.
I’m more worried penalties will do them in. LA has a lot of weapons to do them in on the man advantage.

there is no way you can think the Canucks D is in any way better as soon as you put Drew Doughty on there. That kid raised his level of play during the Olympics, and is probably twice as talented as any Canucks defenseman.

True. They’ll need to spell Doughty and Johnson (I assume) with Greene or Jones over the course of 60 minutes which could work in VAN’s advantage at home and considering they often play from behind (though I’m cool if they decide to stop that annoying trend right now).

Doughty
Doughty is awesome, but he occasionally will try to do too much.
If I was gameplanning for the Kings, I’d dump the puck in to Doughty’s corner and hammer him into the boards all through Games 1 and 2.
Just like I’d do to Ehrhoff if I was gameplanning for the Canucks.
Take those d-men out of the game, and both teams defence looks pretty ordinary.
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.
Ah, the Shero strategy! (Against Orr)
The opposite of serious is not funny; the opposite of serious is unserious.
Why would you not?
The dropoff between Doughty/Ehrhoff and the next defenceman is massive. Not trying to kill or injure the guy, but make him sore and make him want to move the puck quickly.
Of course, Doughty seeing MayRay, Demitra and Grabner zooming in probably won’t scare him too much.

Ken Campbell's latest brain droppings at The Hockey News:
Please note in Cammie’s column today H.Sedin is listed as #19 behind
the likes of Kovalchuk and Nash with some blathery-blah-blah and flimshammery.
“But it’s also the best method we know for measuring goals that are important. And what’s more vital to the final result of a game than important goals?”
To which I retort: Important Assists.
the problem is that people like Campbell don’t give enough credit to first assists, and even less credit to second assists. In Henrik’s case, I think you’d be hard pressed to find an assist that wasn’t from his creativity/hard work ie. he happened to touch the puck by accident before it went into the net. He was the engine of the offense when on the ice, and gets people the puck in areas that so very, very few other players would be able to deliver it.

Question: Do you see yourselves as the underdogs in the series?
DOUGHTY: "Not really, to be honest. I think we match up pretty well against Vancouver. We had that last game against them, where we played pretty good and won a pretty big game there, but I think it will be good. I think we match up well, and I think we’ve got a better team here, so hopefully we can use that."

Maybe we should put up a fanpost at Jewels that Doughty is trash talking the Canucks?

Wow…maybe your sarcasm meter is broken Missy. I thought LOL meant someone was joking.
And being ironical. Like Detroit fans are with Burrows.
But thanks for keeping an eye out…

I am reading nothing into that last game, Mr. Doughty
I am putting almost no stock into the last 2 weeks. That was a different Canucks team than the one we will see Thursday.
On Thursday, the team will go from “trying to stay healthy” to “trying to win”. Should be a totally different game.
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.

Is Jones worse than Greene, all things being equal?

Yes but different. Jones has much more offensive potential than Greene and is a better passer, but Greene is way more dependable defensively and has a lot more snarl. Jones is prone to getting beat on the blue line during power plays. If he has a lapse, it won’t take much for either Peter Harrold or Davis Drewiske to take his place.
