[DoktorJeep]

Spence raising his stick like old school Matt Schneider on the PP

 

[Sol]

both teams look like turd sandwiches

Kings look much worse

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Jim … shit that’s what we forgot to work on this camp (power play)

 

[Gjwrams]

short-handed attempts and clanked posts. Kings PP in top form.

 

[kingsholygrail]

They did..

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Jordan Spence filling the empty void left by Dewey being out. “ I guess I’ll shoot this puck right into his f***ing shin pads.”

 

[DoktorJeep]

Lots of empty seats in Buffalo.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Getting smacked by the Sabres is not something I’d expect

Well Kings were ranked 16th with DD.. there prob right on par with the Sabres

Kuemper's gonna be busy this season.

 

[Sol]

Before anyone meat rides the 1-3-1 the kings defense is non existent

 

[kingsholygrail]

Not a goal.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Lucked out

 

[DoktorJeep]

even if it’s not a goal, this was a nut kick.

 

[Schmooley]

Kings look so bad this period it makes me miss Maclellan

 

[johnjm22]

Another weird game in Buffalo.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Should be no goal, Kings were ass that period

 

[DoktorJeep]

Is it too late to change my vote for the poll?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Gonna have to take Tums after that 1st period. At least it's 0-0.

 

[funky]

I will chalk that. Up to nerves and adrenaline. They better get better and smarter in the next two.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kings dodged a bullet!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Mikey Anderson honoring his injured partner by trying to f***ing kill everyone in front of the net with clappers

The top 2 defenders on the Buffalo PK are super aggressive

Third guy ready to jump every time too

Gotta adjust to that stat

I thought we were supposed to go to the uncomfortable areas?

We did

Buffalo

 

[johnjm22]

Last two games in Buffalo:
0-7 Loss
0-6 Loss

So that means Kings haven't scored a goal in Buffalo in at least 7 periods.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Kings look so bad this period it makes me miss Maclellan

woah Schmooley - thats a twisted take : )

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

If it was last season's 'Tenders it would be 3-0 at least

 

[kingsboy11]

Its not a goal, but they played that terribly for the last faceoff of the period.

Overall, not really a good period. Kuemper easily the best player, and its not usually a good sign when your best player is your goalie. I'll give them some leeway given that the Sabres have played 2 game so far and this is our first game. The powerplay in particular was bad, Sabres had better chances on the PK than they did when they were on the powerplay.
