A lot of recent games have followed similar pattern: boring early on, but turn into an exciting game down the stretch.
I'm starting to become very concerned about Kopitar's skating. It's frustrating because all the forward lines look pretty good except his line.
Back-to-back good goaltending performances.
Iafallo has become such a fundamentally sound all-situations player. You can tell he's put effort into refining every little nuance of his game.
This 6 game win streak isn't a total fluke, but it is a little flukey.

It feels flukey because we aren't dominating for an entire 60 minutes. But these are the kinds of games we would find a way to lose last year, and we'd lose them in bunches. Petersen's post game said it all, though - they're finally learning to win when things are AND aren't going their way.

Can you imagine in Kaliyev turned the puck over like Brown? He'd be scratched.

What They're Saying: The Juice Is Loose In Montreal Tonight Edition
nhlfan9191: Two American hockey league teams going at it on 3v3. What a masterpiece.
HabsWhiteKnightLOL: Kings look tired , easy win
McGees: Kings played last night so they will be tired.
6-1 Kings.
HabsWhiteKnightLOL: We almost beat a bottom 10 team on a back to back at least.
Holystik: Today, I quit smoking cigarette.
27 years of smoking.
35 cigarettes a day.
600$ a month.
Usually I would ask for the Habs to win for this sacrifice but now I'm all about that tank.
Kennedys: The Habs almost won a game
NMacrules: Kings didn't look sharp. Its almost like they played last night.
MarkovsKnee: Kings have a lot of fast forwards. They're a pretty good team. Think they'll make the playoffs this year.
Stive Morgan: Savard every time someone passes him:
BozoTheClown: Look at the amount of Kings players drafted by LA.l, the scoring leaders and the team leaders... and then there is us.
canucklover123: Love Phil continuing to make posters here look dumb
Gabriel Sagala: PD has 6 pts in his last 5 games
Habs4Life: Hoping Danault gets a hat trick!!!!
Beendair Donedat: And on a pace of career high 55 pts
That would have been great to have a 2nd C with those projection
Danault scores for sure. Kings win, and embarrass the Habs on home ice. We will be lucky to score once, especially after the debacle that was Saturday night.
blarneylad: Up until last night he had 1 goal in 11 games..he had an offensive night early in the season but up until that he was on pace for a 40 point season. Right in line with exactly who he is. A fantastic 3rd line center
Edmhabber: I don’t mind, or care, that Danault is doing well in LA. Offensive talent was something he never exhibited with the Habs however. Most times offence died on his stick. Great defensively, but let’s not kid ourselves now by thinking we’ve lost a number 1 Center.
CristianoRonaldo: Danault's fan club is out in full force... The guy is a #3C, nothing more.
Awesome game against the Leafs last night !
overlords:
mfw when I tune in a bit late and danault hasn't scored on us yet
Catanddogguitarrr: "J'ai finalement vu mon chien". "I finally saw my dog. It's been 2 months I didn't see him. He's coming to LA soon". Loved that Danault press conference. Lot of fun and jokes.
Not The One: We didn't make the playoffs because of Danault but he was one of the important pieces who got us there.
Catanddogguitarrr: Danault was a Selke nominee, hellooo, are you there, a Selke nominee. Hello Houston is calling. Are you there?
And the people who say COVID got us into the playoffs are the usual whiners who derive their sole pleasure in life from bashing their own team. and are incapable of giving proper credit to people they've crapped on for years. The rules were the same for everybody.
Canadienna: I like the guy, his pizza antics and saying his kid was conceived the night they made the finals is legendary.
McGees: Dan0 starting OT is a thing in LA too
angusyoung:
Riddick412: Dude your relationship with Danault is unhealthy. Get help.
PhysicX: Whether Danault scores a hatty or gets injured, I could not care less. He wanted to get paid during FA and wanted a bigger role, or at the very least, a realistic chance at it. I'm glad he's gone and good on him for producing at the start of the season.
Danault would be but a blip on the Habs radar had this team been able to draft and develop prospects. Heck, we would've been able to afford/meet his salarial demands with a properly functioning farm team instead of having to sign the Toffolis or Savards of this world.
Yet, here we are, having to listen to fans pointing their fingers at other fans for criticizing Danault's offensive game during his entire tenure as a Habs, just because said player started off well, while this entire organization is in turmoil. It's pathetic, but to be expected.
Monsieur Miz: Good guy Danault giving away his stick.
tazsub3 (regarding Danault): i was not a hater, but i was one who said he is replaceable and i would not pay what he got, and now i am one who recognize i was very very wrong
le_sean: Peterson with like 10 big saves in OT and Allen let’s that garbage in. There’s the difference.
Le Tricolore: I really like Cal Petersen's mask.
Beendair Donedat: What a hit by Brown on Suzuki, you never see an open ice truck job like that 3 on 3.
Brendan Lemieux looked like his old man tonight - the greasy cowardly parts. Laid down twice on Pezzetta after taking runs at other guys. Hopefully Pezzetta isn’t demoted after taking those penalties, it’s not his fault Lemieux has no honour.
King Makar19: Suzuki gottt rocked by Oldie Brown
Vachon23: ouff Dustin Brown is still a train
Monsieur Miz: Brown annihilated Suzuki wow.
caliente: Suzuki got smooshed real good
dinodebino: Kempe wanted the big money on the Kings’ board.
McGees: I wanted Kempe that draft.
KikoHunter: They just let Kempe glide around with the puck at the end there like he's not even in the o-zone lol. Just watching him slowly set up his own rush, good job!
Toffoli4Rocket: LOL at Kempe wheeling the zone like its NHL 03 easy mode on PS2.
BigBoyNoise87: Kempe needs to start claiming the Montreal Canadiens on his taxes.
Monsieur Miz: Anderson should look at Kempe's goal.
That's how you use your speed f***.
vHAB: Entertaining game at least. Beauty goals by Evans and Kempe
MarkovsKnee: Kings are 12th in NHL, and are actually tied with Toronto & Anaheimeek
They're a good team this year. A ton of speed at forward. They need to improve D.
Catanddogguitarrr: I would like to have a team like that to watch. That's kind of offensive hockey to watch. Having said that and they have Danault, a bit contradictory, lol. Kings must have some genious to draft the good players.
Love these! I remember you or someone else doing them years ago.

I loved Kempe’s goal, ridiculous and he’s probably the only guy on the team that could have scored it. I do understand the frustration with him at times but it’s a case of taking the rough with the smooth. As I said yesterday (?) we are better with than without. He’s currently on pace for 30 goals and more realistically I’m hoping he ends up at 25, he’s 3rd on the team for hits and drives play well. My biggest issue, like many I feel, are the OZ penalties as in theory it’s the easiest thing to fix. He’s has a good start overall, we just need some consistency in his offensive output.

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
I think that Dustin Brown intentionally turned the puck over to Suzuki so that he would get all excited and try to juke Kopi, then Suzuki recovers the puck at center ice just so Brown can crush him like a bug. That's how next-level DB is.
Seriously, that hit turned the game. Kings take the puck, get Kempe on the ice, and never looked back.

The return of Arvi will force them to send Arty down. He just isn’t ready for the full time gig.
however Lizotte has been very good. Maybe we can see him Lemieux and Lias instead.
You don’t sit Lizotte with the way he is playing especially during a six game winning streak. He’s pure energy out there and has turned it up a notch lately. Him and Lemieux really play off each other well.

!!! Thank you for the praise but I'm pretty sure this dude haven't watched any Kings games from the past few years. Don't let the six game win streak fool you they can turn it around at any moment.
Somehow I expected this post from you. Carry on.

Draft em but don't play em
Anze's last 5 games:
24:18, 21:56, 22:29, 21:09, 23:54.
For the last 5 games, that's more minutes than any forward in the NHL. AKA more minutes than many #1 dmen and the small handful of forwards getting more icetime (names like Kane, Ovechkin, McDavid) for the season aren't doing anything meaningful defensively or PKing.
It's atrocious management, especially when saddled with Brown. Both of those guys were visibly wobbly in a way I'm not sure I've seen in the NHL before and still got thrown out for OT.

I secretly turned on the game I think midway through the 3rd when posters started saying Lemieux might have a go with one of the Canadiens.
I couldn't resist.
Man that second period was fun to watch. LA was so dominant but could not burry it. Thought Montreal was going to pull it out given how LA could not get one despite so much pressure in the 2nd and the PP failure.
Got to enjoy this while we can. There will be a lot hard competition coming up.
Won $50 off this win!!

That's not true. He would've been scratched a long time ago if that were the case.
Kaliyev is the rare bird who is useless 99% of the time, but that 1% is so great that it supersedes his deficiencies. He's really been fighting the puck the last couple games with unforced errors on stick handles and botched passes, but once in a while, he gets off a magical shot that goes in that no one else on the team can accomplish.
I think his role is fine for the time being at 5 v 5. Would like to see him more on the PP, but that's another matter. Just let him curl to the blue line and come downhill towards the goalie and let him shoot. It's worked twice so far this year.
Agreed. Kempe has always been a streaky scorer. Hopefully he can be more a more consistent contributor and cut down on the often lazy and ill timed penalties. Depending on the game, he can be one of the most dynamic players on the ice. Let's have more of those games.
I honestly expected a letdown game after Toronto and it was looking like one in the first period. Thrilled they found a way to another 2 points, keep the streak going!
