Kopi plays like crap all year, and leading the team in scoring. Says a lot about how much suckage there has been top to bottom.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Quick starting!

Geez...what did Kovy do to get on PP unit 1 and move to line 3???
Hope Ladue has a stellar game...Nate, 1 goal in 55 games Thompson PP unit 2. Yep.
Thinking Luff would be good candidate for PP UNIT 2 and could score 20 goals to every one Nate scores. Luff has a wicked
shot and pretty good around the net too.

200 eur on edmonton to win with handicap`-1.5, with odds @2.889. purely a bet against wheelchair desjardins, he's got no talent for lines juggling, and that's what he's trying to do tonight. massacre it will be.

 

[kovacro]

Just lose, baby.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Just lose, baby.

The perfect game:

6 NHL scouts at the game to see Quick and Kovalchuk...
Kings lose, 4-3. Quick plays well. Goals mostly the fault of Nate Thompson and Phaneuf.
Kovalchuk 1 ES goal and 1 PP goal and PLUS 1.
Ladue goal and an assist.

Blake probably told Willie to move him. Didn't he say they talk every day?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Not real sure what to expect anymore haha.

Hoping for a good game for Quick for everyone's sake. But I know when he has to shake the rust off, it can be ugly.

 

[SlimCharles]

How many goals for Brown tonight? The anti-tank commander.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'm feeling another W.

3 in a row.

 

[KingTrouty]

Someone tell me what to think! We’re tanking still, right?

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Blues off tonight and a King win could be devastating...would put St Louis #31.

 

[Kingsfan1]

How I feel right now lol

devastating? This is going to be a lonnnnnggggg season if your following that close and expecting any team to be last the entire season with no fluctuations.

Kings are not going to get a top 3 pick, they probably won't even get a top 5 pick, accept it now and save yourself the stress

 

[mrkolice]

no, lak is not tanking. yet.

yes, I realize I have probably lost 6 years life expectancy during the tank years. maybe more.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

With a win tonight, LA would only be 9 points out of first in the division

a win tomorrow night vs. division leader CGY would make that 7. hilarious.

I doubt the Kings will finish last by end of season. As I said before, they are too good on paper to tank so well. We will likely make a push, and fall short of making the playoffs. We will probably end up drafting outside the top 10.

I’ve said we’ll go on our annual winning streak to ruin our chances which is why they need to sell!!!!

Throwing rocks to a drowning man but there still a bit of a will to live happening. A trade of a core guy might take the team to the bottom for good.

This is absolutely the case. I wouldn't hold my breath for a top 5 pick, let alone top 3. Hell, I'd think a top 10 pick would be remarkably lucky. Keep those expectations low, and you'll never be disappointed

I do not understand the 2nd PP unit. I like that Carter is on it with TT and Kempe. But why Thompson and Phaneuf? Rather have Martinez and Muzzin in their places.
