[Lt Dan]

The cup is ours!

 

[tny760]

Not one..but two empty netters!

this is a fever dream isn't it?

I like them a lot, Martin Jones had an amazing mask on the other night against Vegas. It was satin teal and looked awesome, the shark pattern looked like camo almost. Same guy does Quick's mask.

His I liked. The flat matte finish just looks cheap, no matter what the design it is.

 

[kingsholygrail]

At least they can strangle the Ducks.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Undefeated in the MacDermid at forward era.

 

[Lt Dan]

We just figured out the cure to our offensive woes.

Just make the other team plays without their goalie

Weird that has never worked before

Quick is now .500. Petersen is 5 games under...

 

[funky]

Like Vilardi’s game tonight. Hope he builds on it.

Love Moore. He is exactly the type we need in the bottom 6.

Props to Lizotte. Played well

Kopi owned the circles

2 goals from Defence not named Drew

we won a game with Maatta and BigMac in the lineup.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Kopitar is 4pts from 1000.

 

[kingsfan28]

so there's still a chance...

 

[kingsfan28]

At least they can strangle the Ducks.

And eliminate them from the playoffs. suck it Ducks!

 

[kingsfan28]

Kopitar is 4pts from 1000.

Did he get an assist on Brown's EN goal?

 

[kingsfan28]

.........a kings empty netter?

am i seeing things?

double vision tonight. You saw two!

 

[tny760]

double vision tonight. You saw two!

looks like i picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue

 

[kingsfan28]

There's our top 6 forward! change your number to 7 dude!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

 

[Mr Rogers]

And eliminate them from the playoffs. suck it Ducks!

I think that happened quite a while ago or if not would’ve happened later this week!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Did he get an assist on Brown's EN goal?

Nah, secondary assist off Walker's goal.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Yikes...

"With goals by Sean Walker and Mikey Anderson in the first period, it’s the first time the Kings have had multiple defensemen score in a single game this season."

 

[johnjm22]

Kempe and Iafallo led all forwards in ice time tonight

Iafallo: 20.22
Kempe: 19:54
Kopitar: 19:45
Brown: 18:33
Athanasiou: 18:32
Moore: 16:36

Yikes...

"With goals by Sean Walker and Mikey Anderson in the first period, it’s the first time the Kings have had multiple defensemen score in a single game this season."

What's the context of the league as a whole? How many teams have multiple defensemen score in the same game, and how many times have they done it?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Some rough math -

15 goals from Kings defenseman (12% of their total goals, heavily skewed because half of these are from Doughty). Vegas, the best team in the league, has 30 goals from their defense (20% of their total goals, half are from Martinez and Theodore).

Just a fancy way of saying the Kings defense is average in defending and need to contribute more to a team that as usual can't score and is among the worst in the league. Kings desperately need someone like Chychrun on the back end. This is the type of hockey trade I expect Blake to explore this summer.

 

[Bandit]

I keep seeing people talk about trading for Chychrun. Why in the world would the Coyotes trade him? Especially to us?
