GDT: GM#65 LA Kings vs Columbus Blue Jackets @7:30

[Sol]

In very short order, Iafallo has become one of my favourite Kings.

Me too. Can't believe he was free.

Such an amazing signing. Such a great pick up

 

[The Pale King]

Iafallo likes playing the Jackets. A bunch of our guys do.

 

[kilowatt]

Where did Iafallo even come from? What a stud. We’re really lucky to have him on this team.

 

[kovacro]

What a bonus it is if you can hit on a college free agent.

Iafallo has been pretty good in his rookie year. Hope he continues to progress.

 

[kings11]

Dammit, at first I thought maybe AI was destined to be a creative 3rd liner but now that his shot is finding the back of the net, I wonder what a good player comparison might be now??....

 

[The Pale King]

Me too. Can't believe he was free.

Such an amazing signing. Such a great pick up

Definitely in the running for most effective forward I've seen with less than ten goals this far into the season. Does so many little things right. Plays like an eight year vet.

He had a few other clubs trying to sign him when he came out of college.

I believe he attended Tampas rookie camp a few years ago.

 

[tny760]

wonder what the odds on it ending 5-3 were after that 1st period

 

[lumbergh]

Tremendous game from Folin, Pearson, Iafallo, and Thompson. Not your usual suspects.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Iafallo, Mitchell, Kempe, Folin, Rieder. Five guys with great speed added.

 

[The Pale King]

Couple of things this team does better under Stevens: Backup goalies aren't an automatic, Vezina inspiring loss, and their back to back record is night and day better.

11 goals in two games against the Jackets this year.

 

[Bandit]

Three very unlikely three stars. I like it.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Great win boys, just get in and this team can do damage. I really like this team quite a bit, our additions + getting Cartsy back is so massive.


Sidenote: Does anyone know what game it was where the boys wore the chevy logo jerseys in warmups? Looking for pictures from it.

 

[The Pale King]

It’s hilarious how with all the ex Oiler players in management situations Edmonton has all the morons and we’ve got the gem in Ranford.

Hadn't considered that but damn that's accurate. Ouch.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Excellent. 40minute game. We're getting closer to 60.

 

[Stimpythecat]

resting Iafallo for those couple games a while back has helped. Learn by watching.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings now have built themselves a three-point cushion from the last wild card spot. Gotta keep piling on the wins.

 

[lumbergh]

First game I really thought Jeff Carter has his groove back. Bodes well for the next month.

 

[onlyalad]

Hope the Jackets are so mad about tonight that they destroy the Ducks tomorrow

 

[kings11]

guess it safe to say that Christian Folin is locking down that 6th spot.

 

[tsanuri]

12 goals for vs 5 against in the 3 games Either of those stats usually wins games.

 

[theMajor]

when was the last time this team scored 5 unanswered goals?

 

[BallPointHammer]

Tremendous game from Folin, Pearson, Iafallo, and Thompson. Not your usual suspects.

Exactly!
Toffoli looked much better tonight also.

 

[kilowatt]

Iafallo is like a cheap, free, young Justin Williams.

 

[KopitarFAN]

when was the last time this team scored 5 unanswered goals?

Probably January 2nd in that 5-0 win against the Oilers.

EDIT: February 3rd, 6-0 against the Coyotes.
