Can someone inform me of this rasputin song when the kings win? By Boney M? Is that correct?

AA was #1 star and it wasn't even close.

I dunno. Edler had more points.

 

[Sol]

I hear that right? You guys got an Only Fans appreciation night?

I heard that too. Would be a great marketing ploy to trot out thots during intermissions. Staples would finally sell out. A nightclub and a rink? I should be on the marketing team

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

"Dallas has a difficult schedule to finish the year" - Alex Faust

Nice prep Alex. I picture him watching cooking shows at home when he should be reading stats

What? Is this a thing? What happened to "I Love LA."?

When Byfield's brain catches up with the rest of him...oh boy.

I mean, Staples has been dead silent for the last 5+ years at this point.

Was "rediscovered" on tik tok. Gen Z, man.

I could fix that

Kings are 17-3-5 with AA in the lineup.
Some of that is a coincidence. But some of it is due to the element he provides.

Nice to do to the Hawks what they did to us for so many years, great full-game performance, great bounceback after the goal and challenge.

Good things happening on the verge of the playoffs--Quick is dialed in, Kopitar-AA-Kempe appears set, Danault line is of course set. Third line was meh tonight but they're probably set too. 4th line looked like the 3rd when it was first put together, so in a 4th line capacity, it's good--stellar possession time and just cursed with no finish haha. Hopefully Grundstrom stays in the lineup, I think you have to give that line another game to see what they have before doing any more tinkering.

D looks awesome, Spence has grown right into Voynov+ in such a reliable way that no one even has a word to say about him. Edler is channeling his younger self--he's clearly slower but all brain, seems to read Moverare well, they were PKing very strongly together. Roy looks almost back to normal. Trying not to read too much into a game vs. a struggling team but it's good to build some confidence and solidify things before stepping into a 7-game series!

One thing I love about AA is he smells blood in the water, one-track mind when there's a bobbling puck or a 50-50 play to be made, and after a goal or two, he gains some extra legs.

Tonight him and Kopitar appeared to start making some of the plays Kopi and Gaborik used to make where they just instinctively know where the other will be, that's huge.

The system is about predictability - and he adds an unpredictable element it needs.. he also never backs off puts pressure on the D at all times. We dont have anyone else like him.

10 goals in 25 games. The 2nd best goals-per on the team.

Sorry, not the song played in crypto after the win, someone on twitter said the Kings play Rasputin in the locker room after a win…

I’m sure everyone would prefer that over hearing Alex Faust

 

[AbsentMojo]

JQ another solid game.. GQG

 

[HookKing]

Not to mention he's an insanely good passer.

Is that what happened?!? Sheesh I hadn't heard that song since i was a teen

AA didn't play well with Zetterberg and old Zetterberg reminds me a lot of old Kopitar. But they seem to have something going right now.
