We all know if Drew tried to shoot that directly at the net he'd miss.

 

[bouncesonly]

2 more penalties against the kings and they would have played an entire period short handed.

I'll take it. Big test on Thursday.

 

[AbsentMojo]

8 to 1 PP against any other team - guaranteed L

What’s the record when Trevor sits?

4 th line with bite, boom, and skill.

7 goals for the Oilers.

I smile with the utmost jubilance when I don't see Lewis out on the ice when the 4th line takes their shift.

Finally some luck goes our way in a game, man the Isles were cursed the whole time. It's obvious the refs called everything against the Kings after those 2 disallowed goals to try and get the Isles back in it. Good thing they're absolutely abysmal on the PP. What a game by Gavrikov and Kuemper.

What’s the record when Trevor sits?

4 th line with bite, boom, and skill.

They are 11-2-2 when Lewis doesn't play.

That is 73% of the time this season the Kings win when Lewis doesn't play. They have gotten 80% of possible points when Lewis is out. 24 of 30.

Edit: When he plays the Kings only get 55% of possible points. 53 of 96.

Edit #2: these stats are insane. So the Kings have a 73% chance to win the game without Lewis playing. Compared to a 48% chance when he does play.

I'm liking the way the bottom 6 looks.

Moore-Danault-Foegle
Turcotte-Helenius-Jeannot

That group has potential.

 

[johnjm22]

It was a weird game overall.

Multiple goals called off in one period.
9 PP's but no PP goals, but there was 2 short handed goals.
8-to-1 PP advantage for the losing team.
Doughty goal. (longest goal ever?)
Goal on a broken stick.

Just a bit of an odd night.

That was a goaltending win, Kuemper is making a case for being Blake's best move as GM.

This has to be one of the most win/win trades in recent memory in the NHL. PLD has been a dominant two-way center for the Caps, and Kuemper has been one of the best goalies in the league.

2 more penalties against the kings and they would have played an entire period short handed.

3 over the glass penalties, 3 hooks, , 8 total
Don't think I'd ever see 3 over the glass in one game before.

 

[Herby]

I'm liking the way the bottom 6 looks.

Moore-Danault-Foegle
Turcotte-Helenius-Jeannot

That group has potential.

The Kings bottom six is a huge strength now. Turcotte's role has made him go from a liability on the 1st line to a big strength on the 4th. That is an ideal 4th line, they have size, toughness and tenacity. Helenius is just a better player than Lewis and Thomas.

Moore-Danault-Foegle
Turcotte-Helenius-Jeannot

That group has potential.

It’s a breath of fresh air to see a Kings 4th line have a little bit of grit to it.

All three of those guys relentlessly finish checks, just like a good 4th line should do.
