Yea that one is on me I had petersen in net on my fantasy team. Was super happy to get the shutout lol

 

[Schmooley]

Buccigross is disappointed.

Yea thats pretty unprofessional on a national broadcast.

 

[kingsholygrail]

lol Montreal almost came back on the Ducks.

 

[Omni Owl]

Cutting it too f***ing close, this godamn team...

 

[apocalypse]

Good to see QB get his first goal. Was a close game. Can't wait for QB to really come into his own. Guy's got the complete package, speed, size, skill, shot, focus. Guy can do it all. Just hope we don't turn him into a grinder. Love to see Turc and Vilardi come up and just tear it up. But I'll wait.

So the ice time distribution looked pretty good tonight.

Kopitar played 17:47. That's about what he should be playing. I thought he looked much fresher tonight because of it.

Byfield got 14:11, and Todd even put him in some key situations. He was also by far our best center on the dot tonight.

5 points out of a possible 6 in New York metro area. I’ll take it.

 

[onlyalad]

Doughty grand game
Byfield a goal and some trust
Kings got a win
And my wife made cherry/blueberry pie
Good day all around

 

[lumbergh]

Monkey off Byfield’s back. I hope he explodes from here. He’s been close to scoring so many times, now he can relax and play his game.

 

[lumbergh]

Torts sounds like a sleepy grandpa

 

[cyclones22]

I don't blame Petersen for either of those goals. Didn't see the first one with Lee in front of him. Brown and Drew fell asleep at the end. You all are just heat of the moment criticizing. He made some huge saves prior.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Brown had 2pts.

 

[Islcey]

The commentary was comically biased.

"Uh oh Kopitar has the puck"

The commentary was comically biased.

"Uh oh Kopitar has the puck"

I liked when they got engrossed in some side conversation and something was happening around the net and one of them finally wakes up with a "OH! Kopitar has the puck!"

 

[ru4reals]

Super stoked the Kid got his first. Now back to 8 minutes a game moving forward. Hope Byfield can build from this and just never pass it to Brown. Just keep shooting kid.

 

[AbsentMojo]

i think it would be nice to swap brown and kempe... kempe byfield and 22 than you could have the corpse line 23-11-19 and the flyfield line ..would make Todds mind implode to actually let some magic happen like that

 

[Mats26]

So when are the 3 taxi cab passengers getting some action Turc, Kupari and Fagemo?

 

[TruKingFan]

Turcotte-Byfield-Vilardi could be an awesome line replacing AA and Brownie next season.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Congrats on QBs 1st NHL goal....

Hopefully like Teemu once said "all it takes is 1 to get the ketchup bottle flowing "

also maybe a little PP time and better mins for the kid

A f***ing men, that's all the bad fans like me want to see...good game against a hot, structured team and 5 points out of 6 in NY is a great result as well as mostly-great on the process side.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

And that Byfield wrister was a f***ing lazer, I'm sure you could argue Varly 'should' have had it but if you watch that in real time it's a Matthews wrist shot, that thing is f***ing wired and hit net before he even expected it

three cheers for Quittin' Bustfield

might be time for a new username

Doughty has such a soft shot.

72 mph slapper. let that sink in

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

72 mph slapper. let that sink in

Lmao that's a lethal changeup

 

[apocalypse]

People complained about curved stick blades.

Way back in the day you couldn't even make a forward pass. I'm sure people complained when that rule was changed.

I don't understand what people are saying about this leading to less hard work or whatever. Skill is the result of hard work.

I bet Zegras has put in more work to perfect his skill set than the vast majority of other players. That's why he's so good.

I guess it's good for the sport.

 

[ru4reals]

72 mph slapper. let that sink in

Hmmm I believe we all can get up to a 70 mph shot back in our beer league days.
