SEASON SCHEDULE | RESULTS

Disclaimer: “GDT may not be 100% accurate. I got the line combos from your mom. I used to have Center Ice, Gamecenter Live, and an undercover concession worker in each arena, but this **** costs money. I will admit that my pet otter is using all up that money on his worsening opium problem. I try to not be an enabler, but I haven't had a sea urchin problem in months. Then I thought, why should I pay all this money and have a sea urchin problem to appease fans of random teams that I don't even care about anyway? Unless you are willing to take a bunch of sea urchins off of my hands, don't ***** if I get the lines wrong.” - BF​

He didn't even want to be credited . I thought about updating it but if it ain't broke...

Letang is hurt ...again

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

I feel bad for the guy.

Someone on an Insider page asked a good question. Since we're down to 12 forwards, if one of them gets hurt, who do you call up? Not even Kempe is ready. Dowd?

We have 3 members of this year's Calder Cup-winning team playing in today's game (Weal, Shore, Mersch) and a fourth (Forbort) available to play. Success breeds opportunities.

 

[Omni Owl]

Break them comrades.

 

[LAKings88]

Go Kings Go! Just win.

 

[YP44]

Letang is hurt ...again

I thought he was back tonight?

A different injury knocked out Letang for tonight:

christ he is out alot

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm less optimistic about this one because their D core will be playing hardcore conservative D to compensate (read: infinity outside/perimeter shots) AND since we're on the road we're gonna see Crosby/Malkin starting in the offensive zone against Andreoff-Nolan-Weal-Ehrhoff-McBain after an icing.

Agree. But who knows, maybe this will have to be one of those games where Dewey plays his 30, and Muzzin, Martinez and McNabb all go 20-23.

 

[damacles1156]

That Pitt defense is bad outside of Maatta. Scuds has one foot into retirement already.

 

[kingsholygrail]

We already know Kunitz is gonna get a goal.

 

[damacles1156]

We already know Kunitz is gonna get a goal.

Hornqvist is good for a goal as well, Kings will have to score three.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

christ he is out alot

Trying to carry the bloated corpse of Rob Scuderi on your back will do that.

 

[Reaper45]

Trying to carry the bloated corpse of Rob Scuderi on your back will do that.

Poor Scuds.

 

[VEGASKING]

4pm games are the worst. And I don't even get home as late as a lot of people.

 

[HookKing]

Hornqvist is good for a goal as well, Kings will have to score three.

Ehrhoff will counter Hornquist or Kunitz.

 

[damacles1156]

Haven't seen that from Nolan in a LONG LONG time. Nice move to the net Nolan.

 

[Bandit]

Shandor? Pretty sure I saw that guy in Tobin's Spirit Guide.

 

[Bandit]

Haven't seen that from Nolan in a LONG LONG time. Nice move to the net Nolan.

Have we ever seen that from Nolan?

 

[HookKing]

Have we ever seen that from Nolan?

Maybe once every other year or so.

 

[damacles1156]

Kings look great, Pitt's defense is having trouble handling the good breakouts.

 

[TopT]

I see Penguins still cant play defence.
