What a pass.

 

[AbsentMojo]

very nice 55 -> 9-> roof

 

[HookKing]

Boy did they need that.

 

[kilowatt]

Gavrikov takes the body, Byfield with the pinpoint lob, and Kempe roofs it

 

[Ryan120420]

Sweet play by Byfeild.

 

[Sol]

Insane pass by Byfield and an even more insane release by Kempe. Wow.

 

[Choralone]

Bork!

 

[Seattle King]

Nice pass from Bustfield

 

[HookKing]

Now all they need is to accidently bump Binnington do he goes completely apeshit.

 

[EmuRidingLuffy]

Faulk wanted to take his puck and go home.

 

[chris kontos]

Good keep in by gavrikov

 

[AbsentMojo]

Roy gets his shots on goal and with pace

 

[kilowatt]

More of that from Byfield please, hell ya

 

[BigKing]

Boner from that pass

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Korpisalo is giving me Felix Potvin vibes

 

[EmuRidingLuffy]

You just know Edler is gonna be the reason they get eliminated from the play-offs. Whether he turns it over or gets burnt off the rush, it's gonna be him.

Kings not playing their A game tonight.

I'd bet on Durzi.

I’d much rather have Durzi at 3LD, if Edler’s the only other option. At least he provides offense.

Rather see bjornfot than either one

True, but we have a legit #1 goaltender, not to take anything away from Copley who has performed way beyond expectations.

We know that’s not happening.

Although I wonder what our actual best defensive lineup is?

Anderson - Doughty
Bjornfot - Roy
Gavrikov - Walker

PP1: Doughty
PP2: Walker

PK1: Anderson - Doughty
PK2: Gavrikov - Roy

I think Walker’s speed might be a little more important than Durzi’s offense, but it really depends on the matchup. McDavid and Draisaitl will eat Durzi alive. A team like Seattle or Vegas, maybe less so.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Edler before he broke his leg was so good.. i think the memory of that is coloring his current evaluation - like he will get back there.. When you add in that he is almost 37 and is degrading fast... cmon Kings, there is no way Bjornfot cannot provide better

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Hell of a pass by Byfield.

In no way shape or form is Gavrikov a bottom pairing D. I'm struggling to remember a single mistake he's made tonight.
