[kings11]

f*** yeah boys!!!

 

[bland]

First line gets 2, kids produce big, solid goaltending and won the special teams. Couldn't ask for more than that.

 

[kingsboy11]

That was an outstanding game. Kupari's best game he's ever played in the NHL, Kempe with 2 goals to help get him going and 2 goals for Byfield and hopefully that gets him going too.

 

[Telos]

Thousand Oaks is first star!

 

[KingsHockey24]

I probably only watched 20 minutes total of the game but it seemed good.

I can't stand whoever that female announcer was.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING – Time to show these guys why they call a two goal lead the worst lead in hockey! Oops. Nevermind. 3-0

drwpreds : Man, just look at the points leaders comparison between us and the Kings. Those Kings leaders numbers are what we USUALLY have- not this year though, lol​

AnalogKid : I love Arvy and miss him but we are better without him (runs and hides for cover)​

Aardvarksson : But yeah that seems to be the consensus from fans ​

drwpreds : I mean, we are obviously doing fine without him- but I would still love to plug him into the top 6 on this team.​

GoldOnGold : Arvy could finish. He has nearly as many goals this year as Kunin and Tolvanen combined.​

drwpreds : This- adding a 25-30 goal scorer to what we already have would be a good thing. You cannot have too much scoring depth, especially playoff time​

101st_fan : Tennyson out muscled after getting himself into a poor position relative to Kupari ... the entire team reaction to the Kings' zone exit had issues.​

sparkle twin : Well this score looks really ugly now.​

Armourboy : Don't understand pulling the goalie, we haven't don't squat all night.​

bdub24 : My screen still says event about to start. What the f***!!!​

101st_fan : Be happy. Your screen is saving you from Leah Hextall's call.​

bdub24 : I shoulda just braved the traffic and went. Lots of seats and fellow Preds fans​

Legionnaire11 : Time to show these guys why they call a two goal lead the worst lead in hockey!​

Legionnaire11 : Nevermind​

bdub24 : They score on their power plays, they score on our power plays…​

LCPreds : Lol thanks for making the ‘should I stay up and watch this game or not’ debate an easy call.​

sparkle twin : Wtf??? Way to show up guys!​

Aardvarksson : Night folks​

sparkle twin : Were they just playing Rocky Top at that stoppage?​

adsfan : I can't leave you people alone for 10 minutes! 3-0?​

101st_fan : 11 minutes of ugly hockey. Poor decisions with the puck, not connecting on passes, scrambling around the d-zone, nothing sustained offensively.​

Simplify. Execute. Crawl back into this one.

Iron Duke : Just switched it on...think I may switch it back off. What the hell?!​

apocalypse : Are the Preds a good 3rd period team? Asking for somebody...​

adsfan : The LA coach looks like Ronny Garvin.​

adsfan : The little kid cross checked Trenin behind the play and he didn't like it!​

sparkle twin : Well this score looks really ugly now.​

101st_fan : Hopefully this was a wakeup call.​

This is what the Finnish press was saying, 5 years ago....it's starting to come to fruition.....but he's grown and is more physical.

"He is a mix of Jesse Puljujärvi and Sebastian Aho, Mikko Manner (Kärpät HC) 2017
Slick Finnish forward, very dangerous with the puck on his stick, always a threat offensively, ISS Hockey 2017"

I brought this up a few years ago , in his D-1 he was a top 10 and in some cases a top 5 player before he pulled an Aatu Raty lol ..
he was also sub 6’ then

 

[Little Psycho]

Interesting first star but whatever

Leah Hextall looks like she’s gonna audit my books. Honestly though I would take her over Faust.

 

[BringTheReign]

Sure seems like there was a come to jesus meeting with that third line.

“They brought their f***ing toys.” - Todd, probably

 

[johnjm22]

Good things happen when you hang on to your 1st round picks.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Kaliyev with the GWG.

 

[Mats26]

Best I've seen Kupari play since pre-season in the AHL last year. His best overall pro game by far.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

QB face has changed this season he starting to look like Patrick Ewing. Hahahahaha

 

[kingsholygrail]

Did Byfield have a bigger stick?

 

[Herby]

Melrose is an idiot, blaming the goalie for the Kaliyev goal. Give the kid some credit, when you place the puck like that no goalie is stopping it.

 

[BringTheReign]

I gotta say...Miss Hextall has improved TENFOLD. I actually like her play by play. She actually describes what's going on. And as a decibel of Chicky Baby, I can appreciate her simulcast style.

BRING ON THE HATE lol.

I watch most of the ESPN+ nightly games, and she’s improved a great deal over the season. She’ll keep improving, and having Ferraro there as a mentor will help tremendously too.

 

[Choralone]

He was a revelation. He needs to bottle that and use it every night.
I love it. Kings must be a nightmare to play.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Did Byfield have a bigger stick?

Seriously, I thought so early in the game on his first whiff shot.

 

[HookKing]

Does this mean TM doesn't have to keep running Kopitar into the ground?

 

[tny760]

pull and drag through a screening defender.. crazy talk. that was a dart and nothing less

 

[AbsentMojo]

I totally agree. Normally Melrose is spot on. he's slipping

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Seriously, I thought so early in the game on his first whiff shot.

If I’m kingsly I add a bigger plug to his stick and retape that shit between periods.
