I will say this:

As far as floater, fruitcake perimeter goal guys go, Arty is kind of a greasy fella. I really just like the way that guy plays hockey.

i don't think it's even fair to call him a floater any more, he's nails on the boards in the o zone

still think there's growth there

 

[johnjm22]

Kings now have a +38 goal differential. Only Vancouver is better, but they've played 4 more games than LA.

 

[Shellz]

I love those jerseys so much

 

[ru4reals]

Actually feel real bad for the Sharts...NOOOOT!!! HAHAHA F**k these losers. Big test tomorrow and Saturday. Keep it rolling.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Yeah. Hopefully he’s like all the other true modern day geniuses that get their degrees in knowing everything from Instagram.

Id be up for shutting the entire internet.. but where would go to gripe about the Kings?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Love to see Kempe in full flight...man he's got the Wheels

The nearest dive bar?

Biggest game to date is tomorrow vs Vegas not so Golden Nights

 

[AbsentMojo]

Golden Knights are a bit tarnished wait does gold tarnish? eh prob not. Just lost again that makes 4 in a row. Trap game tomorrow.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

All you guys who hate on the Kings broadcast and production--just be thankful we're not the Sharks.

 

[AbsentMojo]

The nearest dive bar?

Ah the old days - maybe the fans arent as savvy as the diehards here - but the waitresses and beer compensated for that.. i remember watching game 7 v Hawks 2014 at my local establishment and thats a great memory

 

[FrozenKing18]

I love those jerseys so much

Can’t wait for the eventual home version

 

[kingsfan28]

What a difference 2 periods make. Fiala redeemed himself, the Kings woke up and stomped SJ right til the end. Laf even dropped the gloves!.

Wait til you see the Black version .

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

That looked grim after the 1st. Took control in the 2nd and got out the 2x4 in the 3rd and no one has found the bodies yet.

Once sharpened out every line looked good and I believe every line had at least a goal, right? Perfection.

I want both Ws over Vegas and Edmonton but 1/2 is good. Less than 2 points is a failure.

 

[kingsfan28]

How the hell did Laf get the instigator when the SJ guy dropped the gloves first and it was on. That whole sequence was terribly handled by the refs. No penalty, yeah ok..

It did. My theory is that sitting Fiala for a couple of shifts made an impact. It needed to happen.

inexplicable 1) to miss the interference - Kaliyev never touched the puck.. 2) what you mentioned re instigator

Look I don't exactly agree with how they called it a rough but there was a several-beat pause between the hit and Laffy getting in Kunin's face and dropping the gloves and that's going to be an extra 2 minutes every single time

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Honestly Todd is as smart as a bag of hammers but he made a bold and auspicious move there in a really [checks notes] crucial game against the worst team in the league

 

[King'sPawn]

Great recovery after a pretty sad first.

And several players who needed to step up did; namely Fiala, Kempe, and PLD.

 

[kingsfan28]

It sure did. I'm glad they finally addressed it and can move on.

 

[VILARGOD]

On Fiala waking the team up, theres another player on this roster that historically could drag the team back into games - Arvy

Going to be real interesting to see the team dynamic when he returns. Arvy is a helluva player and I'm excited to see what this team can do fully healthy

 

[johnjm22]

Laf was very noticeable. Even the Sharks announcers pointed out how good he looked.

If that PLD line gets going we'll be in good shape.

 

[YAYSAY]

Felt like that was one of Laf's best games, he's starting to build up some consistency from game to game.
