Well that's a hell of a road trip. If we could figure out a third line, we'd be in really good shape. 22-55-23 just ain't working. All three guys need to be carried in various ways. We're winning in spite of that third (well, fourth, I guess) line.

Huge game from a very weakened defense. Stoked for some time to let our boys get healthy too. Enjoy Vegas, Kempe!
 
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING – Durzi looks straight out of a slapshot movie Edition
(3rd best roadtrip in Kings history!)


Number1RedWingsFan52 : Game will probably be cancelled, As Metro Detroit is expecting up to 12-18 inches of snow between tomorrow and Thursday.
bedtime20 : L.A is already in Detroit, no reason to cancel.
FabricDetails : TIL the phrase, "Isn't it 'shovel-y'?"
MabusIncarnate : AA sighting
Martinez : Poor byfield has to center AA and brown
FabricDetails : AA 'bout to get a hat trick on their heads ain't he?
NervousPerson : Time for some home cookin' reffing. Former Wings amirite?
dalem177 : I'd love to see a dramatic AA infield-fly breakout that misses the net.
Martinez : If we come out of this period tied I’ll consider that a win
Hen Kolland : I’ll hear no Zadina slander for the rest of the night
GunHavok : Is Osgood cosplaying Batman?
CompetentOpenHoneycreeper-size_restricted.gif

theYman : Is Athanasiou really playing?
NervousPerson : With Byfield as his C
K1900L : Wtf is that, this might actually just has been the worst attempt of a pp I've ever seen.
Reddwit : This is LA’s easiest PK all year
Hen Kolland : Gemel’s beard looks like he paid money for a chin warming wrap. That thing is impeccable. He gives Leddy a run for his money.
Martinez : Durzi looks straight out of a slapshot movie
The Oaf : Fabs gets ragdolled.
Realgud : That was fun, good on both of them for keeping it clean.
dalem177 : Why is everyone falling down?
GunHavok : I mean that's what happens when you get outplayed.
ArGarBarGar : Honestly though getting outshot 34-13 this team doesn’t deserve a break.
cjm502 : I feel like the difference between the Wings best games and their worst ones is much larger then most teams. There are nights they are physically engaged, skating hard, and can hang with anyone. Then there are nights like this.
The Real Pastafarian : When you give up 34 shots you have to expect a couple to go in. Not Ned's fault.
Hockeyfan2390 : What is it with the Kings desperately outshooting Detroit this season?
Reddwit : How come no one can handle the puck tonight? Every puck is a grenade for these dopes tonight.
RedWingzz : this is hard to watch...it could be 5-1
Where is the effort? Is L.A really that much better than us, because if they are, we are ****** considering they are a playoff bubble team.
The Oaf : Bert weighs more than 133lbs!
dalem177 : Dammit. Another friggin goal by another lilliputian player. Stupid team trying hard and ruining chances for an unknown draftee 2 years from now. I hate them. I hate this team. I hate this game. I hate this post. I hate broccoli.
Martinez : Ok fighting Lemieux instantly makes him a fan favorite
Realgud : Fighting Lemieux is definitely a plus
Red Stanley : Gemel sucks at fighting. Lemieux's kid (who, incidentally, looks nothing like his dad ... the mailman says hi) handled him pretty easily. The great book of grudges says this wrong needs righting.
Hockeyfan2390 : The PA announcer is actually encouraging these woo-bird clowns. My God.
SoupNazi : f*** Lemieux.
GunHavok : Three empty netters incoming.
Martinez : Who the heck is Strand
Reddwit : Someone needs to beat on Strand now.
Martinez : We give up a shit ton of empty netters
Ed Ned and Leddy :

Great win. Another gritty response after giving up the lead. It definitely feels like we're one youngster stepping up on the offensive end / a trade away from really being in contention.

I will happily eat crow and say that I was wrong. Blake and Luc have put together a very competent competitive team.
We need physicality in our lineup. We'll get crushed in the playoffs by the likes of Minny, Vegas, St.Louis, etc... We need some physicality and for Byfield to really develop. We're close though. Close.

Even the Wings fans feel sorry for Byfield for having to play with those wingers.
 
Observing goals given up by period, most of the goals the Kings surrender come in the third period. With two goals allowed in the third tonight, the Kings have now surrendered 46 goals in third periods. They've given up 37 goals in the first, and 40 goals in the second.

Nice to get the win, but godamn you just know when they have the lead they're going to blow it...
 
Danault seems like Richards without all the baggage. Really like him.

Yup. Danault is playing like a less physical 2011-12 Mike Richards. I love it.

Hopefully playing less physical will translate into Danault being more durable than Richards.
