The first period started out great. The Los Angeles Kings weren't dominating by any stretch of the imagination, but they were careful to limit the Philadelphia Flyers' speed, clog up the neutral zone and keep numbers. In fact, it took more than 15 minutes before Philly finally got a shot off. Of course, those last 5 minutes were a little more than LA could handle but thankfully they escaped the period unscathed, with a nearly ideal period - minus the whole dumb penalty to Andy Andreoff and lack of scoring thing.
Then things went to hell in the second period.
