Buffalo has been a house of horrors for the Kings, but this year a bad Kings team probably goes in there and wins. Just the way things are working out.

why?

Maybe, hope not, Sabres have lost 5 in a row (0-3-2) coming off the 10-game win streak. Hopefully they get right.

I was at that 10-1 game years back. I think Jeff Cowan scored the lone Kings goal. I remember the next morning in the lobby, the look on George Parros face, looked like he wanted to tear someone to shreds.

Kings never do well in Buffalo. I'll be in attendance tonight and I'm looking forward to watching the Sabres while sampling some free booze and food.

free booze and food....nice!

Only reason I'm going. At least I will get to drown my sorrows in a few cold ones.

So basically BUF is due for a win and the Kings are still within their losing pattern.

Maybe we can drop off Muzzin and some retained salary for Matt Moulson and their next first rounder.

 

[KINGS17]

This one should be a blowout. Buffalo is a tough place to play.

 

[Butch 19]

can't even fake "Hey!! I sure am looking forward to the game tonight!."

Sabres 6-1

Petersen gonna take the shelling tonight?? or stay with Quick?

Add Lawrence Pilut and done deal.

This.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Poor Cal, going up against his former team, and likely to see a shellacking.

Man watching hockey and getting free booze and food, don't care how bad the Kings are, that is a great night!

 

[HansH]

My team please...

Ugh. I can't do it. I can't even muster up that old chestnut ironically. The combination of this team and the woes of San Diego have broken me.

Do the hockey. Go team. Yay.

 

[fivehole32]

I must have been hit in the head too many times and have an "upper body injury" I look forward to watching until I actually watch the game. I do have to say that I have seen some bad Kings hockey over the years at away venues. Seeing both Brust and Fukifuji get pulled at an Atl Thrashers game was brutal, but the cold beer did ease the pain. Have "fun" Kovacro.

 

[Fishhead]

I can’t even comprehend half these posts. Another month of this and the GDT’s will be pure gibberish. I can totally see everyone watching games looking like John Lithgow in that twilight zone movie.

Oh, people still watch the games?

We gun git smoked. Or we will win handily because reasons.

Look, the Kings suck, but they’ve slightly improved the overall quality of play in the past dozen or so games, at least by my eye test.

Yes, it’s frustrating to see the lack of finish when it comes to goal scoring. But I’m perfectly happy measuring expectations by seeing improvements in isolated performances, regardless of the score.

Peterson should be playing 1 out of every 3 games reguadless of schedule. The team cannot over work Quick given position in standings and injuries. Once Campbell comes back he to should get 1 out of 3 with Peterson playing nightly in the AHL.

agreed, chances have improved and I have liked adding some different players (waiver pickups) just to bring something other than the same old same old.
