GDT: GM#64 LA Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights @7:30

[Kingspiracy]

Feels good to pick up another win against these guys. Wouldn't it be nice if the guys started putting it together at the right time of year again.

 

[Bandit]

We’re done. Absolutely no chance against Vegas in either game...

 

[Little Psycho]

Jesus, just break our hearts. He sounds like a genuine kind hearted guy after reading some posts about his Dallas days

 

[fsanford]

Reaves #1 star in my book, Vegas was diagnosed with cancer when they acquired that guy..

Glad Vegas picked up Reaves. Took plenty of penalties at the end on both games and we capitalized. I had respect for Gallant because of well he had his team playing, but Reaves out being only down two goal was an amateur move.

If we are going to sit LaDue, might as well send him down and bring MacDermid. The between MacDermid and Fiolin is not that big.

 

[BallPointHammer]

Way to go Jack Campbell, you played a great game when the team really needed it.

Is this team developing its own identity? I think so. The new players seem to have filled in the missing character and leadership roles of the veterans on the cup teams. The lines and d-pairs are fitting together. The team is finding its way together.

it would be nice having the option to ice macdermid when things get out of hand but stevens seems happy enough with the pairings.. macD was getting what, 6 minutes? folin pulled 14:37 tonight even with a pretty mediocre performance

Great back to back wins when most thought we'd lose both!
Still laughing at Doughy tapping Reeves on the pants 3 times after his penalty “see ya in the box” . Reeve is such a dumb player.

Winnipeg Jets, best home record in the NHL with only 5 regulation losses. Kings win in regulation. Vegas Knights, best home record in the NHL with only 5 regulation losses. Kings win in regulation.

Watching Campbell, just points to how putrid Zatkoff was, I mean the Kings could not fix that guy, he was the worst goalie to man the pipes for the Kings since they tried the Fukufuji experiment.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

That was f***ing epic. Beating these guys back to back. Of course it's right after losing to Edmonton This team needs to make it just so they can be this dangerous later. Carter back is a massive add, can't believe people could downplay that at all.

BIG props to Campbell, not an easy start in the slightest and he slayed it.

I like Vegas playing stupid. It shows the Kings got into their heads last night.
If Doughty can keep it under control, Kings should get the best of them

Yup, totally unglued, from the coach on down.

Everyone was ripping toff then he scores lol

This has happened exactly 20 times this season.

marchessault closes out the period doing what he does best: slashing

The only reason some of these guys don't have reps yet is they're all relatively new. He's gonna earn that one. Dude is a hard worker and relentless on the forecheck but he's such a f***ing hack.

Gallant blowing a gasket. Doughty laughing is priceless.

We had all that 2014 swagger tonight, just clowning a bunch of pretenders, Gallant looked like Ken Hitchcock, Blues era.

There’s a reason Reaves is on the ice in the dying minutes of a game while his team is down, and it isn’t to score goals.

Yup, Gallant knew exactly what he was doing--hence the timeout and our top PP unit. Big f*** you right back, I loved that by Stevens.

Lmao at Doughty tapping Reaves and laughing at him. Gotta say though that was not a penalty.

Doughty telling Reaves he getting a pentalty lmao "Yea, you got a penalty"

I rewound this to watch it soooo many times...this gif will deliver forever. I could not stop laughing. Yayyyyyy you got a penalty

Edmonton Oilers, bes....f***. This team man

+Barry Brust and his stick movements during a face-off.

 

[Kingspiracy]

So far I'm pleasantly surprised by Phaneuf, seems to have taken over that wily vet that is a bit nasty role.

 

[tny760]

just noticed the last VGK penalty was logged as "abuse of officials served by hyka"

don't they usually just log that as unsportsmanlike conduct bench minors? someone must have really said something nasty cause i think abuse of officials specifically requires reporting to the league

 

[Legionnaire]

Good win! Let's Go Kings!!!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Also, an ode to Ryan Reaves

Vegas is gonna break in the playoffs. They just totally fall apart when they don't get the calls or breaks exactly how they want them. It's always someone else's fault and they can't believe they just lost, the other team had the game handed to them somehow.

he's so calm even under pressure, it's incredible to watch

anyone else i'd be screaming at the TV to hurry up and make a move but he's playing 4d chess. sometimes looks like he's dogging it but it's cause he's got some cheeky stick lift or sweep planned and he's waiting for the moment to strike

like bruh don't f***in crosscheck him in the chest if you don't want him to snap his neck

[Stimpythecat]

very under rated move by Blake to pick him and Thompson up for Gaborik and Shore. Kings aren't getting enough love for that by the rest of the hockey world in the list of TDL winners. I still count it as a TDL move even though it was 2 weeks ago.

At the beginning of the season MacDermid was getting low minutes, but ended with a 11:36 average. But atm Folin is the better D. The Pacific seem to get bigger with Reaves and Stewart back in the mix. Might be the right time to bring in a stabalizer. And we all know MacDermid is crazy enough to throw a cheap hit on the opposing player (not that I want see it). Watching Reaves targeting Kopitar, Doughty and Kempe was a tough pill to swallow.

Feels like has become our old Willie Mitchell

 

[bob77]

good kid, campbell. right off the bat says he's giving the puck to his parents

At the game, Martinez chased the puck all around the rink as it was swatted away from him a few times. Getting it for JC.

 

[yankeeking]

Even Vegas fans hate Ryan Reaves.

This move makes such little sense in today's NHL , why bring this POS into a team that plays fast moving heavy forechecking breakout type hockey ,he has no hands , no wheels and no brains , gallant was trying to send a message of some kind even though his team was only down a couple of goals and has what 18 come from behind victories in the third, I guess the only thing to say is thanks for throwing out the game plan that got you the most points in the league , to try to intimidate us ,keep up the good work
