WHAT THEY'RE SAYING – KINGS BEAT VEGAS IN OT
EICHEL DO BETTER THAN LAST GAME EDITION

hangman005 :

DirtyDutchDiggler: Why is it every time we play the Kings, announcers are always reminding us that they are "happy to see you". I appreciate it. Really.
hangman005: Would be watching but at work... but so far at least we scored.
Puckstop40: No idea what’s up with the team lately.
Eyal: Sigh

That about sums up Vegas' GDT. Only 20 replies. There were more replies on a dude wandering into the thread asking for a way to get tickets than the actual game itself.

At first I thought it was a post game thread, but nope. Blew me away.

Thanks Vegas fans for saving me a bunch of time tonight!

Byfield is going to be dominant soon - he's a guy your going to want on the ice as much as possible.. even with some mistakes.. just let him go, he can make up so much if he screws up with his speed and reach (similar to Kempe but even more so).

 

[apocalypse]

why does army sound like a french canadian?

 

[Fishhead]

Vegas is sad.

Byfield and AA with monster games. Byfield is starting to feel it. Maybe it's his new hipster haircut.
Roy with some really good reads on D.
Quickie was lights out in the 1st period. Easily could have been 4-1 Vegas after the first.
@kilowatt with a good mention about Kopitar looking good with limited minutes.
Arvidsson was balls to wall tonight. Dude was everywhere on the ice and had a an absolute beauty of a pass to Danault in the 3rd.
Durzi is tied with Moore with biggest surprises of the year.
Toby was steady as she goes. Kid is never rattled.

byfield's being built into a grinder. forget that. fire Blake!!!!

He doesn't hit, dump and chase, or any of that stuff really. He's always carrying the puck and trying to make things happen. If someone is trying to teach him to be a grinder they are failing miserably.

I mean, he was born in Ottawa.

I feel like it's been awhile since we won an OT/SO game.

Encouraging game from AA and QB tonight.

Down 2 goals on the road against a good team, and you comeback and win it. Pretty good. I can't believe we're only 3 points behind VGK with a game in hand.

Kempe still on track for 37 goals. I keep expecting his pace to fall off but it doesn't.

 

[kilowatt]

god kempe is so handsome good at hockey

 

[kingsholygrail]

They were supposed to lose and they didn't. Just don't take a shit tomorrow, please. Beat the damn Coyotes!

There's no such thing as grinders anymore. This isn't 1996.

Grind through the neutral zone. Go to the boards, grind. He should be taught a skill game. Weave in and out of defenders. Score. That's what he should be taught.

 

[Martyros]

maybe kings win in regulation without the dive that led to the knights' first goal.

cmon, derek armstrong? doesn't strike you as a french canadian.

The appropriate term is “man-rocket”

 

[lexlavender]

Can Byfield be rewarded with points already? It's so annoying he works so hard and gets shafted by luck.

he makes my man-rocket soar

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

What a fun game to watch Lste and drunk. That’s all I’ve got tonight. Oh and my next jersey is gonna be kempe. So much swagger. So needed.

[Little Psycho]

Team takes a crap vs Edmonton and then wins vs Vegas.

Can these guys make up their minds? You going to suck or make the playoffs?
