the only bright side is that Florida has really been struggling.
I am actually rooting for a win here to help the Leafs, assuming that they actually play campbell

 

[Sol]

Wow lol actually excited to see a game. Haven't felt that after a month or two into the season. Weird feeling.


I will actually watch the whole game, and I'm going to keep my expectations low just because his linemates aren't going to be much support.

With any luck, tonight may be the night that Gabe “The Babe” Vilardi turns Jeff Carter into the Kings version of Wally Pipp.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I expect nothing.

 

[Lt Dan]

I hope this Carter "lower body injury" is a lie and if it is real , doesn't impact any possible trade

Guess the Kings need to try and win this one to help Toronto.

Disgusting, how dare you not get the 1920's reference my grandfather taught me in the 1970's.

The debut of The Gabe.

What's Carter's damage? Strained trade value?

If you don't know who Gabe Vilardi is and why his NHL debut tonight is so important to the LA Kings future plans, no problem... It's time to catch up... READ LA Kings 2019 Midseason Prospect Rankings: Player No. 3, Plus Notes on Grundstrom and Durzi John Hoven | The Mayor on Twitter

Prokhorkin and Ryan are scratched tonight per reports. MacDermid and the new guy from Vancouver are playing instead. Hopefully Carts will be back Sat and Sun.

Schaller and Mac are there to murder anyone who dares to give Gabe any shit lol

 

[ru4reals]

I never could have imagined in a million years that Gabe freakin Vilardi was gonna play in an NHL game this soon. Haven't been this excited since Drew played his first NHL game. Not expecting much by the way. Just excited he's healthy and playing.

 

[Schmooley]

Lewis and Schaller both in the lineup? Nice move for the tank. Two of the best worst players in the league.
Though you gotta feel for Amadio. Turned a kid that showed a little offensive prowess into Nick Shore 2.0 minus the faceoffs and defense... pretty much just existing as a body floating in space

 

[riznat]

lmao the Toddfather

 

[LAKings88]

Vilardi!!!

No expectations or pressure just thrilled to see him play.

I was excited to watch the game tonight then you brought up Shore, now I'm back into depression.
