Who had fun watching the game tonight?
Who saw us do a few things they liked but understand we still need some work?
Who enjoyed themselves enough tonight to where they were happy and entertained for a few hours?
Me!
We need to keep working to build some cohesiveness but we made allot of good solid little steps forward tonight and if we can keep it up we will be fine within the next 6 or 7 games.
GO KINGS GO!!!!!!!!!!
Haven't been able to catch any Kings games this year how's Matt Frattin looking?

Like a bag of doorknobs. Honestly he looked better tonight on the 3rd line but did virtually nothing on he second line in the previous 3 games.
Dude I love ya, you're a kings fan <high five>, I got your back, BUT...
"a lot" not "allot."

Thanks. I thought he would be a good fit for Richards and Carter, well shows how much I know. I'd also like to thank Kopitar and Carter for helping me in my pool tonight.

Also not a big fan of Regehr. I'll take Scuderi, hands down, at 3.5 or whatever he's getting, over Regehr. Difference is night and day. I miss Scuds.
Well in fairness he only got a few games with those guys, who basically share a brain and a dick, so it's not necessarily the easiest place to fit in. I'm sure things will shake out for him eventually.

yeah kinda sad, he has just lost it offensively. It all started two seasons ago.I thought the 3rd line of Clifford-Lewis-Frattin looked pretty good, had some nice energy and cycling. Lewis looks better at center and even Clifford looked strong tonight, for the first time since last January.
The King-Stoll-Nolan line was weak, I have always been a critic of Stoll but even I am shocked at just how horrible he has become, I'm not sure he will be an NHL player when his contract is up after next season. What does this guy realistically add to this team that could not be replicated by someone making 60% or more less than what Stoll does, will he ever score another goal?

doughty is imo the best defencemen in the league he does it all and he carries the whole play of the ice whomever hes paired with. more importantly they can get the puck out of our zone quick.. muzzins not good enough to be paired with any of our other defensemen. but his offensinve prowess is worth the risk imo.
muzzin already has one of the worst +/- in the entire league already. Ouch.

5. Kings coach Darryl Sutter pulled no punches when discussing the play of D Jake Muzzin, telling Kings Insider, "He's struggling a lot," later adding, " You're not going to win very many games if you're a guy who's playing significant minutes, and you're a high-minus player."
This, of course, is where we can look beyond Muzzin's plus-minus to see that the Kings have fared very well, possession-wise, with Muzzin on the ice. However, their goaltending has been suspect (.714 SV%) with Muzzin on the ice, but that is how a strong shot differential turns into a negative plus-minus in a hurry.
This isn't to suggest that Muzzin can't play better, but it is a suggestion that maybe his team-worst minus-5 isn't entirely his fault.
Call me crazy, but I think Derek Forbort is going to be the first call up(defense), and they are going to pair him with Doughty.
Especially if Muzzin/Mitchell/Regehr continue to struggle.
I'll take it, but I'm still hoping the Kings can play a more complete 60 minutes very soon.
Also not a big fan of Regehr. I'll take Scuderi, hands down, at 3.5 or whatever he's getting, over Regehr. Difference is night and day. I miss Scuds.
