wow

had that on a tee because ullmark decided to try and mike smith it and they give it away
 
Brown made things interesting, then for their last grasp effort, they easily give the puck away yet again. Considering their historic performance in Buffalo, this is a moral victory. Baby steps.

Can't wait to watch the "proper" rebuild guys on here go ape shit when the Kings are buyers at the TDL next year. They need to trade off Lewis, Toffoli, Martinez and Carter this year. Then somehow swap some of the smallish puckmovers for a big RHD or two. Even with the current squishy soft D that can't clear the crease, they are competitive every game. Love the job TM is doing.

What’s refreshing to see is that the younger players are looking like they can compete in this league, and the ones who tend to frustrate us the most are the veterans and aforementioned names who have to go come February.

Yea i was sleeping on clague. I had no idea of his game breaking offensive potential. If he can round out his game positionally and defensively he will be a nice addition to the roster

And consider this game was in Alex's hometown
If Alex Iafallo needed ANYTHING to boost his ineffective game and numbers, this was it...playing in front of his family and friends in his hometown; and he was flat! It's really time to remove him from LW1 and PP1. Line 1 has been pretty stale of late - the end of the game goal by Brown, was not actually line 1, anyway.
Possible combos:
Prokhorkin-Kopitar-Brown
Prokhorkin-Kopitar-Carter (could be really good)
Brown-Kopitar-Carter
Kempe-Kopitar-Brown
Kempe-Kopitar-Carter
Toffoli-Kopitar-Carter
Kempe hot hand, goals in 3 staraight. Prokhorkin better playmaking, hands and goal scoring ability over Alex. Carter is being wasted with Clifford / Lewis. Why not promote one of those 4 over Iafallo? Not a single good reason not to try any of those.

Man, if Clague can be as good in D zone as O zone, he may just well make the grade. So fluid and skilled.
 
That's the 2nd game this year that they gave up an empty net goal, only to get one back right after.

Didn't see much of the game. Seemed like a close match though.

I finally finished watching it in full. Not a lot to be mad at, just a few little defensive lapses by the usual suspects but otherwise really strong play and just needed a bounce or two to go our way. Honestly it was a pretty 'encouraging' loss given the house of horrors that is Buffalo for us and because it was a continuation of the road trip's strong play. We just flat out lost, no symptoms of bigger problems or anything.
