I really, really like these lines. Our depth will overmatch every team except the absolute cream of the crop.
Brown's best game of the year, bar none. Vintage Brown. Hope he's back for good. He's been trending this way anyway but good to see him continue to get on the board.
Richards is in the same boat.
Very, very impressed with McNabb.
Just not a whole hell of a lot to NOT like. And this is without Martinez and Voynov. Good to see what this team looks like when it's close to fully operational...we're a ****ing Juggernaut.
To me that was entertaining. Fast, hard hitting, lots of opportunities.

Of course, I can't attest to tonight's game, since I slept through it, but the "top" line was fun to watch on Tuesday vs. Florida. Lewis' speed brought a whole new dynamic to that top line, makes it much more dangerous.

Team looks better as a whole, I don't think that has anything to do with the lines though.
More of guy's just playing up to par. Also putting McNabb with Greene seems to be a good move by Sutter.
Also keep in Mind the team is at home, and getting some rest.
True test will be on the road.

I would like to see the Kings net at least four out of Six points on this road trip.
That would be a strong showing.

Agreed, need to make up for last time and need to clean up the road game a little. 2 of 3 wins would be good for me. We owe Dallas a non-lifeless game.
YOu're on a roll this year Gann, thanks!

The team really needs to put a string of strong road games together. It appears they're getting their act together on the possession/corsi front, which is a good sign. That said, some aspects of this season are reminding me a bit too much of 2013. Unexpected losses of defensemen. Brilliant home record, crap road record. The team is more experienced now and Quick has been great to start the season, so those are pluses. It's still early and the team most definitely can turn it around, but what makes the Kings so tough and why home ice rarely matters to them in the playoffs, is the fact that they could walk into any rink and win. If they can get to their 2012/2014 level of road competency this season, look out league.

I agree. But I also think to be fair, we went on a road trip at our most depleted time, as well. Not using that as an excuse, but when we're losing games while icing 18 guys and no gaborik, kopitar, et. al., and breaking in new defensemen, and working through the (at the time) hottest teams in the east, I think (at least, I HOPE
) we'll be better off now. I agree that it looks like the elite possession is starting to come back and the full roster beyond Quick is showing signs of extreme life.Brown/Stoll/Williams... great 3rd line, they have chemistry.... and when all 3 are on the 3rd line they aren't holding back the other lines. It's the Key to success.

Kings!
McNabb has looked much better in the past few games. I thought last night might have been his best game as King so far.

Like Jim Fox said, it's all about confidence. I personally thought he was getting better and better and tried to do too much when paired with McBain. Paired with a veteran like Greene has calmed his game even more and he can go out and not have to worry about his d-partner.
Now, which way does Darryl go when Martinez comes back. Obviously McBain sits, but do you put Martinez back with Greene, or put him on the right side with Regehr. Personally, I'd put him on the right side of Regehr and leave McNabb with Greene because it's working well.
