Headed out to take a shower, when I get back we'll be up 2-1.

Why am I even watching this game lol

 

[Bandit]

I kinda want to see the Kings not score another goal this year. Give Buffalo a break as the most embarrassing franchise of the decade.

 

[DoktorJeep]

I thought we got Jeannot to lead the league in expected faces caved per 60.

 

[Herby]

It's funny. In the first game against Florida Clarke and Helenius made plays to score the goals to win the game.

The next game against Florida both get scratched. Lewis, who they play over Helenius, commits two penalties, one of which leads to a goal for Florida.

Lewis must do other things well to earn his spot.

Byfield - Kopitar - Kempe?

 

[Bandit]

Byfield back to wing on the Kopitar line.

Desperation.

 

[Trash Panda]

Can we sub Durzi for Moore ?

Just have him run the blue line next to Joe Corvo.

 

[lumbergh]

Lol at Foegele going one on five like McDavid.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

In case anyone wanted to be reminded of the last time the Kings were credited with a goal…

 

[kilowatt]

Excluding Clarke, our top defensive scorer is Jordan Spence, tied for 70th in the league among defensemen with 3 goals and 17 points.

 

[Choralone]

Just have him run the blue line next to Joe Corvo.

And Dominic Lavoie, if we're using a time machine.

 

[Herby]

The Kings are hilarious, if you know someone can't generate enough offense that you move them down the lineup anytime you are in need of offense, why even have that player in an offensive spot in the first place? Not to mention it can't be good for Turcotte's confidence to keep being demoted in-game.

Just let the guy excel in the role he is best for as a gritty third liner, quit doing the yo-yo BS.

 

[kilowatt]

Side note that was an incredible pass by Byfield

Top scoring chance for this game.

 

[kingsholygrail]

We're getting shutout again.

 

[kilowatt]

Is Turcotte just benched now? Laferriere on the top line now, Byfield took Turc's last shift

Yea Foegele-Turcotte-Laferriere was a good third line

The explanation from Jim Fox does seem to show that they did indeed make the right call by rule on the disallowed goal.

I still hate the whole offside thing though, if it's to close to call at the time of the play, just let it go.

Hmmmmm trading for PLD..going 1-3-1 while down in goals..losing 3 straight years to the same team in the playoffs..every play leads to a blocked shot from the point..unable to score any goals period..watching lewis trying to skate..Not developing/playing kids..boring ass hockey. I think the kings have beaten the sabres on that one

 

[lumbergh]

Good thing the Kings didn't score on that Kempe entry. Would have been another offside challenge.

 

[Trash Panda]

Spence has been doing his best Jake Muzzin impersonation with his defensive lapses tonight.

 

[redcard]

If you thought 11/7 was fun, now you get to enjoy 11/5

I couldn't tell from the angle whether the puck was still on his stick when it crossed the line. Agreed on the offside challenge wholeheartedly.

I don’t care if he’s carrying it, stick handling it, passing it, or shoving it up his own ass. If he’s controlling it, it’s onside.

You can’t f***ing pass it without control.
