Can the Kings get a winning streak going?

 

[FSL KINGS]

We're going streaking!!!!

 

[Omni Owl]

Buffalo looks heavily injured. Normally I'd say we have an advantage but you just don't know with this team...

 

[Buddy The Elf]

This is the first game of the year I'm attending. Don't shit the bed, Kings!

 

[ru4reals]

Can't wait to see Turcs for his first and only shift. Lol.

 

[DoktorJeep]

I’m nearing peak don’t give a bleep level for Kings hockey.

Ya, the dynamite is out of commission (IR) .. i like watching him kind of a bummer

 

[Sol]

I’m nearing peak don’t give a bleep level for Kings hockey.

I’ve only watched a handful of games fully so far. This is the most disinterested I’ve been as well.

 

[Surf Nutz]

I wonder if starting Portillo is even tempting?

Can't see Hilller risking it and Rittich kinda deserves to start anyway.

Hey you guys had a good run, keep your chins up!

I was at the last game and have never been that meh / blah with watching the team in 35+ years. Pretty sad.

I’m already struggling to make it to puck drop tonight. And it’s not like I have anything better to do on a Wednesday.

Still hard to believe it's been that long for the Kings, time flies.

I always felt bad for Buffalo, they transitioned pretty quickly from the ultimate dead puck era team with Hasek to one of the most exciting teams in the NHL right after the lockout, and couldn't win a cup with either type.

 

[Inzane]

Anyone suprised that Fiala can't score 1 on 1 against the tender

 

[ru4reals]

Turcotte with 2 shifts. Turcs with 2!!!

 

[Lt Dan]

The porn stache is holding him back

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Turcotte is such a f***ing beauty man

Every hockey player wants that guy as a linemate

 

[Choralone]

Big Dick Rittich

 

[tny760]

lucky there

clarke got the first one and the second just hit rittich and died

Nah. If you watch closely, his dick whipped out at lightning speed and made the save for him. It's like Venom.

 

[bland]

Pretty good game to watch so far.

 

[tny760]

lots of kicking through skates and shitty attempt to injure plays from these sabres already

some real garbage
