He's become such a solid player.
Whenever he scores a goal off a nice play by a teammate, instead of celebrating he always acknowledges the teammate first. I appreciate that.

Kopi-Star would have 2000 pts by now if had some decent linemates throughout his career like Kempe and...not Brown
5 forwards on the PP who would have thunk it
I think the Kings are starting a trend on the PP
Kempe is the only King worth more than what is currently paid besides players on entry level deals. He is due for a raise and deserves it.

More like no brainier or if not glance at Kopitars real age and freaking pay Kempe.
Fiala had a critical goal today and the defense doesn't seem to need Farter or whatever his name was.
If find so many, not you, others, so ungrateful for the players we have,
If they can't control it, they should eat leftovers quietly..
They win 5-2. Three game winning streak. I think this team has the talent. Wait until Drew gets back.
LGK!!!!

Amazingly, the Kings have 14 regulation wins.
Only 3 teams in the league have more:
Jets (15)
Caps (15)
Devils (15)
Kings (14)
Wild (14)
Canes (14)
Edmonton and Calgary, who are both right behind us in the standings, only have 7.

Unfortunate, but the Hockey Gods are just testing him. Lewie is a warrior & will pull through.
Knee on knee as they came together. Sucks.

I'm still hate watching but Kopi is such a fooking legend. He'll never fully get the due he deserves in the league and perhaps even within our own fan base

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good
Haven’t been paying much attention to the rest of the league but does this mean most teams are sucking?

No, most of the playoff teams are good and right around us, as pointed out
Edmonton and Calgary are better at getting to OT and winning
Kings tend to lose in terrible fashion and have not won a game that's gone to OT this season.
It's a better 'sign' I guess to be able to take care of business in regulation but it says a lot about coaching/deployment and high end talent that this team can't do much in non 5v5 situations, including PP, OT, SO.
Calgary's won 3 shootouts, Edmonton 5 OT wins.

If Byfield, Danault, Moore, Fiala start playing better and Laferrierre, Clarke, and other young guys keep improving, it's a better team than last year. But that's not saying much and those are a lot of ifs especially with Byfield looking like dog crap. And you know the December swoon is coming for Kopitar.
Raccoon Jesus
We were right there
They definitely have a good record considering some guys are slumping OR never got going.
But yeah that's always the thing...so many question marks. Byfield COULD go nuclear. Doughty COULD come back at full power. Portillo COULD take over the net. But not enough of it never hits and hope isn't a strategy.
It's nice that they're tops in the league at 5v5 but it's worrying that they've NEVER figured out anything BUT 5v5.
Related info:
and they're especially stout at 5v5 defense--though i'd argue it's more like the Muzzin Martinez years where they were excellent 95% of the time but the other 5% is catastrophic breakdowns rather than 'solid all around'. Clarke wandering, Edmundson covering a corner, etc.

I know you said "it's not saying much". But i just find it funny still -- if 4 of the 12 (1/3rd) forwards play better we'll be better. I think all teams would improve if 4 of the 12 guys started to play better.

I was referring to the fact that a mild improvement from last year's team still won't make this team a contender.
Some of those forwards have a history so it's not completely out of the question they could turn their seasons around.
We're at a point where we're hoping everything to go right. Even then, maybe they can win one playoff series.
