[kilowatt]

Nice. It's always awesome to beat up on the Dead Things.

Cal's glove hand looked good tonight.

I'm glad he got the SO. I never thought he was really playing all that bad this season, was just getting tough breaks.

 

[King'sPawn]

Solid game. Good job by all.

Nice. It's always awesome to beat up on the Dead Things.

Remember the days when Yzerman, Fedorov, Lidstrom and company would come in here and wipe their A**es with us. Always always a good win no matter what era.

Cal looked extra dialed in considering he went 10 minutes without a shot several times

Love that for the 2nd night in a row guys were taking no shit

It’s growing, team is bonding and sticking up for each other. Becoming a team than a bunch of strangers like beginning of the year.

That sort of thing is contagious, too. Started with just Lemieux, now you've got several guys jumping in knowing they won't be alone. Loving it. Especially since the last couple of nights have been guys taking shots they thought they could get away with.

 

[Mats26]

You think Pepe will be extra motivated against his old team the Rangers on Monday? It should be a dandy.

Danault and Lemieux playing with their heart on their sweaters doesn't hurt. f*** Larkin.

It's only one game vs the Wings but Kaliyev, Kupari outplayed Raymond and Zadina tonight. K + K were engaged all night in the play. Seider is a thorougbred though.

I love Raymond but the only times I remember him tonight were from one shot on goal, three soft turnovers, and getting smoked by Doughty.

Yea it was a great showing for them. Thats a team thats more in line with their age and they showed they belong. Sometimes they struggle against bigger more experienced teams and its easy to forget this is the just the beginning for them.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Completely shut down Bertuzzi. Pretty sweet.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Holy hell, what a dominant first period and great game overall. Watching this team, this season, has been so refreshing. Win or lose, most of the time they are fun to watch. Even the last game vs NSH...I know all the Negative Nancys like to bitch and moan when we lose, but despite the loss, you could argue that the Kings were the better team against one of the best in the league right now

We are fighting for a playoff spot, folks...buckle up and enjoy.

To be fair, I bitch and moan when we win, too.

But lately there's not much to complain about in the big picture. They're competitive night in and night out. My biggest concerns are still my biggest concerns but they're minutae compared to what's developing.

Cal:

 

[kingsfan28]

This was a good win, one they all needed. That first was pretty impressive, and the breakway stop by Cal was a save he probably doesn't make in November. Everyone looked like they were having fun out there.

With all the hype around Detroits rookies, I really never noticed them except when they were getting hit . That "Welcome To LA" hit by Doughty on Raymond was beautiful. Sieder was the only I guy saw make a play, some nice moves but then got the puck stolen at the end I think.

 

[kingsfan28]

It was a matter of weeks ago when AK was taking dumb o-zone penalties and making us think he would never turn it around.. now he's the most reliable and clutch player on the team.. nice job AK great goal

Well to be fair, he had 2 ozone penalties vs Nashville. although the goalie INT was bs after getting pushed in. One penalty resulted in a goal. Aside from that, he's cleaned up that part of his game this season.
