Matt Greene against the speed of Dallas?

Should be fun.

 

[deeshamrock]

A team that is all offense and no d versus a team that is no offense and no defense.

8-4 Stars.

If Budaj plays I'll say 3-2 Stars.

Budaj off first

Kari Lehtonen in goal tonight.

maybe maybe not

Jon Rosen ‏@lakingsinsider 8m8 minutes ago

Greene, Nolan, Purcell remaining on for extra work, so tough to get a firm read on the lineup. Looks like Gilbert may stay in, though.

 

[lexlavender]

I can totally understand taking Dowd off for Purcell or Clifford, but please do not take off Gilbert. He's actually good at offense, unlike Matt Greene, who's good at nothing besides pking

I hope Gilbert gets in so I can yell "Burger Barn Gilbert!" every time he touches the puck.

Sorry, does that mean Budaj will be starting tonight?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Good to see Forbort is playing well and Greene and Gilbert are the two swappers.

I was dreading going into the year thinking Scuderi or Greene would be the bottom pair.

Yes, first goalie off is the starter

Because that's what Arnie would say.

Wait! Brown on the 4th line?

 

[KingCanadain1976]

nope insider reports

McNabb-Doughty
Muzzin-Martinez
Forbort-Gilbert

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Brown started the season on a line with Kopitar, and his played his way down the lineup, just like he did last season.

Easily the worst contract in the NHL. Yet some people think Vegas will still take him in the expansion draft...

 

[USE Fi]

actually they are

King-Kopitar-Toffoli
Pearson-Carter-Setoguchi
Brown-Dowd-Andreoff
Clifford-Shore-Lewis

McNabb-Doughty
Muzzin-Martinez

Thank God! Gives us a few more days to trade him before he drops to the 4th line. If Brown drops to the 4th line I'm not sure Lombardi will be able to move him.

Doesn't matter how you put it those are 2 bottom 4 lines

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I wonder what people's reaction would've been at the end of last season if you mention that Dwight King and Devin Setoguchi would be top six players on the Kings heading into 2017.

I'd hate to be a season ticket holder.

At least it isn't Brown/Purcell in the top6?

for the people that have watched the last 3 games in their entirety, has the goaltending been that bad? I only saw parts of the 1st game so Im not really in the loop but Im very curious as to whats been going wrong. will be glued to the TV tonight though, hopefully its not a blowout

It's been pretty bad. The Min game they played well enough to win, but were sunk by a couple of bad goals.

I wouldn't say it's the only issue though.

Awesome, this might be his last chance to get a NHL job so i'm hoping he does well for you guys.

It's not the only problem. Offense is anemic as usual, but I do miss Quick already.
