Great game! Ducks haven't been horrible this year & with a win would have passed LA in the standings. King's shut them down most of the game. Got some timely offense & won. Almost got the shut out.

King's need to play a shutdown game to be successful.

Let's hope Fiala got the curse lifted.

My goodness how good was that Anze Kopitar pass to Adrian Kempe? Just parks it exactly in the right spot off the boards for Kempe to skate into it. Like throwing an alley-oop off the backboard from the backcourt. I could watch that artistry all night.

Reminded me of his lob pass to Dustin Brown in 2010:

I am wondering if Lewis is blackmailing Adolf Hiller and that's why Akil is not playing. There is no other explanation

Lewis seems to have lost a step since last season. He was solid last year for the most part but was exploited in the playoffs. The whole team was exploited in the playoffs though.
So far this season he looks a step slower and his ability to give and take a pass has also worsened.

He may not be worse than some 4th liners, but he is now being paid like a 1st liner. 6.25 million without buying any ufa years is a hefty contract and there are some expectations. Especially when he only has 28 goals and 91 points in 184 games in his career I think it's fair tlfor fans to expect a bit more production now that he is off his ELC. I still have faith that he will continue developing, but that may be the worst contract given out since Matthews. You paid a player for future growth, but will have no control when the contract is up. Best case scenario is that he meets expectations and you have to overpay to keep him before he becomes a UFA.

Who said we should have picked Zegras over Turc?

Plenty. Especially when he had 60-point seasons while Turcotte was injured.

I admit I may have been too harsh back in pre-draft that he was the next Robbie Schremp, but he isn't looking like he used to.

He was good to start the season. Don’t know why they got so scared in 4 games to make him Wing again

In my viewings the Kings looked outta sync and nothing seemed to be working so going back was a good move in my opinion...everything is about Chemistry and the Kings seemed to lack that...at least they know who can work well with who...Byfield will get his chance again soon enough

He didn't do much with them tonight.

If Turcs , Laffy and Foeg were not hitting I would move him back to the midlands.

Foegele really needs to step it up and start showing some production. There were times last night where he was arguably holding Turcotte and Laferriere back. I recall at least two plays in transition where they were looking to gain the zone with speed on the rush and Foegele just coughed the puck up to a defender and killed the play. He doesn't need to be amazing but the results need to get better.

The good news is the Kings have some other intriguing options to pair with Turcotte / Laferriere if Foegele doesn't work out.
Byfield - Turcotte - Laferriere​
Fiala - Turcotte - Laferriere​
Moore - Turcotte - Laferriere​

Those two are such a massive bright spot for the Kings right now - the sudden emergence of a new duo in Turc & Laf could be massive. They were buzzing again last night - Both just continue to generate chances and make plays.

I really feel like we're going to see the Kings start really buzzing soon, once the lines get sorted out a bit more. Fiala hasn't been producing 5 on 5. Moore and Danault essentially haven't been producing at all. Byfield off to a cold start. Foegele not producing at all. Chances are, many/all of these guys start to turn it around soon.

If Foegele continues to struggle (for another game or two), I'd jumble up the lines again. Maybe playing with Kopitar/Kempe or Moore/Danault would finally click for the guy.
