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​

To bad Richards and Stoll aren't on the roster anymore, could have had some fun with them on that lineup graphic.

 

[Choralone]

Hilarious GDT. Nice work!

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Fantastic GDT!!!

As far as the Flames go, gotta take the body to Gaudreau.

 

[Kingsfan1]

Is the Flames line-up supposed to be a joke i missed ? The first line is all flames then the rest of the lineup is the Oilers Roster .


Either way awesome gdt ! Thank You !

Kings win 3-1 Doughty has a killer night

 

[Kahvi]

I'm pretty sure those wont be the Flames lines.

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Hey Kings fans! This should be a good one, we've had some great games over the last while. Apologies for ruining your season last year, you gotta do what you gotta do, but it looks like you've turned a corner recently and this should be a classic match-up.

Make this road trip extra special.

Not to be rude but the flames didn't ruin the season for the kings, the kings ruined it themselves.

Not sure what corner it is you speak of but I'm already throwing up in my mouth having to here johnny hockey this and Johnny hockey that all ****ing broadcast.

Hey thanks for the backhanded compliment. Congrats on staying in the heated playoff hunt of the pacific division

It's cool... good luck with the lottery this year. The Pacific is just a beast right now, no shame in missing the playoffs with the competition being so rough.

Seriously someone put Johnny ***** through the glass.


Edit: -21 Goal differential... Hamilton is one of 4 player that have a positive plus minus, so at least that trade worked out.

Some of the stats from the 5 games last year. Not going to win much when Gaudreau produces more than Kopitar and Carter combined.

At least it's not a home game against the Flames, so the Kings might have a chance.

 

[mrkolice]

ha, the game starts 3am 1-jan here, in the middle of the party. not a priority tonight as i hope the party will get crazy enough, but still a great backup. have fun!

 

[Little Psycho]

Can't wait to play against the top D in the league.

 

[LAKings88]

Expecting a loss, hoping for a win.

the shootout and lack of success after 60 min ruined LA's season.

 

[YP44]

Excellent GDT..

 

[tsanuri]

Would like a win but, who cares. We're 3-0 on this trip with 6 points. So even a lost makes it a 3-1 trip and 6/8 points. Will take that on any road trip.

 

[YP44]

Kinda hoping for a 3 point game. Would like to see Calgary in the playoffs over the ducks, Coyotes, Canucks and Sharks.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Flames are an absolute garbage team. Kings will find a way and win this game.

 

[King'sPawn]

I agree. Circumstances aren't in the Kings favor (third in four + road trip). So it's going to be a difficult battle, and containing the top line is key.

But it's definitely winnable. I think the Kings can do it, but in the off chance they lose, 3-1 on the road is still pretty good.

 

[theMajor]

Dougty's and Martinez's resolutions LOL

well done sir, well done

 

[Reaper45]

Keep on Rollin baby, you know what time it is...
