1st Period
Very fast start of the period for the home team with a very efficient forecheck and a good puck movement they have been able to create so many chances until they scored with Carter from the goal crease but the referee nullified it due to high stick ( very doubtful call and even the replay haven't been able to explain if it was a correct call or not). After that the Kings continue to play better than their opponents but they haven't been able to score and so the Canucks.
2nd Period
The Kings got a PP right after 17 seconds and they capitalyzed the chance immediately with a perfect wrist shot by Gaborik from the high circle right under the crossbar well assisted out of the faceoff by Kopitar and Daughty. Since that moment the visitors controlled the game and it paid off when they moved the puck so quickly from defense to offense with just 2 passes and the bouncing puck provided to Bonino by Vrbata has been put under the crossbar where Quick couldn't do anything.
3rd Period
The 3rd period has been balanced for the 1st 3 minutes but the double penalty in favor of the Canucks changed not only the momentum of the period but the one of the entire game, because the Daughty penalty forced them to play with 4 skaters but Toffoli committed a 5 minute major for checking from behind on Burrows and this gave an huge advantage to Vancouver who capitalized it quickly with Vrbata who scored from the low circle with such a difficult angle. Since the major penalty ended the Kings regained the control of the game and they had some chances the biggest one with King 1 on 1 against Lack who was ready and didn't let the puck go into the net, with the empty net and less than a minute to go the Kings allowed other 2 goals by Daniel Sedin and Horvat that closed the game out.
My 3 stars of the game:
1 Vrbata
2 Quick
3 Bonino
