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​

Thanks for the GDT KK!

Really hope Carter is okay...we need our depth to pick up scoring and with Carter dead our second line is gonna get eaten alive.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Also winning the first three on this trip will be important even though it's 3 in 4 because even though it's every OTHER day after that it's a lot of travel and goofy times...here's hoping those practices tuned us up!

 

[The Night King]

Looch for the hat trick plz.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Looch for the hat trick plz.

Oh man, that would be all the feels.

I'm excited for the game just for the homecoming if nothing else, love how much they respect their (former) players.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Get something out of this road trip and the Kings will be in a great position to close this season out.

 

[YP44]

Man that's a tough road trip...especially the 3 in 4 days (the 3rd is sunday morning)

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yeah the GDT for that one may need to go up on Saturday

When was the last time one of you on Pacific time slept through a Kings game (because it was a morning game, not out of boredom)?

 

[YP44]

I am just pumped this weird ass break is over

 

[YP44]

Pearson is scratched tonight...what the hell.

 

[LAKings88]

I feel like the season is about to start.

 

[Little Psycho]

Done it many times. I need my beauty sleep on the weekends lol.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Pearson is scratched tonight...what the hell.

my personal theory is he's actually injured (like Carter), but between his declining play and that story about him studying video, may just be getting him a 'study' opportunity.

But yeah, seems like he's better on the ice period, but....

 

[onlyalad]

Lucic wearing gold in Boston again

 

[KingsKnight]

Pearson is scratched tonight...what the hell.

Well you can't risk injury with a trade forthcoming

 

[Little Psycho]

That fourth gonna be stuck in the D zone all night

Clifford/AA/Nolan

I think he is just in sutter's doghouse.

 

[MetM]

Oh man, that would be all the feels.

Boychuk and Shawn Thornton got very nice reactions from the crowd first time back in Boston.
Video tributes.

 

[KingsFan17]

Man I miss that 70's line. That Carter line now just doesn't look scary at all.

 

[kingsboy11]

Honestly I'm not surprised in the slightest that Pearson got scratched. He hasn't looked the same since he broke his leg. He needs a game or two to get back to basics and just play hockey. He's not scratched for a lack of effort, it's just that his production isn't there right now. I'm hoping he can turn it around because the team really needs it with Carter not scoring.

 

[Omni Owl]

Not feeling too confident going into this one.

 

[YP44]

Man I miss that 70's line. That Carter line now just doesn't look scary at all.

Rosen has the lines as
17-11-23
74-77-73
12-44-22
13-15-71

If Carter wasn't playing like dog crap right now (i Know injured) that line would look at lot better. Carter needs to be the straw and right now it does not seem like he is capable.
Would be nice if Gaborik and VL found chemistry.

 

[TonySCV]

Happy golden 50th anniversary, Kings!

Thanks! Just updated the lines.

 

[YP44]

Thanks! Just updated the lines.

no problem..I read earlier from Rosen that Miller will be scratched for boston. Not sure who takes his spot though
