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​

[DocWest]

Hopefully the boys have enough left in the tank to get a point or two out of this game.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Hold on to your butts, we could get dominated in this one, guys looked absolutely gassed by the end last night...though if we had to only win one of the two, I'm glad it was vs. smug ass Pittsburgh.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Kings 50 SOG and lose 1-0. O'Reilly with the goal, naturally.

 

[Fishhead]

The classic trap/let down/fatigue game.


Weird that I don't see that happening though. I do believe the Kings are going to blast them.

 

[PG Canuck]

Enroth with 53 saves for a W against his old team.

Kings win 1-0 in shootout.

GKG!

 

[Little Psycho]

Kings 50 SOG and lose 1-0. O'Reilly with the goal, naturally.

Don't forget a goal by Moulson too since he's Jonathan Quick's brother in law.

 

[ru4reals]

Wouldn't be surprised if it went to overtime. But I would be happy with a point and honestly wouldn't be that mad if we lost. Beating the Pens was awesome.

 

[tsanuri]

Haven't won there in 12 years. we're due.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Haven't won there in 12 years. we're due.

 

[King RAZZ]

Let the chips fall where they may...

Again...it will be first period at the kettle...second on the bus and the third at home...

 

[TonySCV]

Feb 21st, 2003. 4-1.

 

[Ron*]

Kings 50 SOG and lose 1-0. O'Reilly with the goal, naturally.

Indeed.

RP goes off the ledge and on suicide watch.

 

[takk]

Enroth with 53 saves for a W against his old team.

Kings win 1-0 in shootout.

GKG!

It usually takes 3-4 games for Sabres to accumulate that amount of shots.

 

[Omni Owl]

Not expecting a win after that war yesterday. Schedule is dumb.

 

[Aladyyn]

It usually takes 3-4 games for Sabres to accumulate that amount of shots.

Can I borrow your time machine? I'd like to go back to last year as well.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

I remember a big 9-1 loss or so, with Barry Brust in goal or Fukufuji or Hauser ?

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Indeed.

RP goes off the ledge and on suicide watch.

Finds himself getting round the clock ativan, forced to watch reruns of Pittsburgh games and hearing babies cry.

 

[Martyros]

I remember a big 9-1 loss or so, with Barry Brust in goal or Fukufuji or Hauser ?

It was Hauser, I believe. Garon got pulled twice.

 

[johnjm22]

The Kings have been blown out in Buffalo multiple times. They have a history of struggling there.

Even with the Sabre's piss poor teams in recent years, I recall the Kings only able to barely eek out points from the games in Buffalo.

 

[HYORI 1963]

I would be VERY impressed if the Kings managed to win against Buffalo.

 

[scryan]

Weal & Mersch combine for 7 points, and another 2 for the Kings!

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Jon Rosen ‏@lakingsinsider 18m18 minutes ago
The Kings are 1-11-1 in their last 13 trips to Buffalo, dating back to 1993-94. Palffy and Smolinski scored twice in that win, on 2/21/03.

damn thats a while ago

 

[Frolov 6'3]

No doubt we win this game too.

I've seen a couple of Sabres games, they are bad.

If Kings show 80% effort, the game is ours.

 

[KINGS17]

Hold on to your butts, we could get dominated in this one, guys looked absolutely gassed by the end last night...though if we had to only win one of the two, I'm glad it was vs. smug ass Pittsburgh.

Sutter already provided the excuse with his "only 12 forwards on the trip" comment.
