can someone tell me gaboriks stats after joining the kings?

12gp/3g/5a/8p.

Kopitar over that span - 12gp/5g/5a/10p.

Some interesting notes...

The Kings have outscored their opponents 19-11 during their winning streak. ... Los Angeles has 44 victories, two shy of the regular-season club record with seven games to go. ... Mitchell had his first multipoint game since April 5, 2012. The stay-at-home defenseman missed all of last season with injuries, and he had seven points in his first 69 games this season.

Burnside is an idiot

Reminds me of the legendary proclamations of Craig Button.
 
Wait... is that Juno? Ellen Page..???



And I'm hoping Gaborik is willing to take less $ to stick with a good team. (4Yearsx5.8=23.2 Million)

Don't know who it is, but she gotz mad skillz! Speaking of skill, I hope you're right about gabby. He's been awesome. That whole first line has been making some fast creative passes, getting great chances with every shift. Hopefully Dean can keep him. It really seems like he's already adapted to Sutter's system.
 
I think its not smart to give him 4 years considering his injury history.

This, plus his up and down career. One year he's a 40 goal guy, the next he's struggling. Some obviously due to injuries, but his point totals in his career are 36, 67, 65, 40, 66, 57, 83, 23, 86, 48, 76, 27, 22

A little to erratic to commit to four years for him, especially since he has injury concerns and is now 32. He's missed an average of 17 games a season in his career, meaning in a four year deal he'd miss likely the equivalent of one full season.

I'm a huge Gabby fan, have been since before he was drafted, I wanted DL to get him so bad when he was bidding on his a UFA four years ago and I'm ecstatic we got him now and I hope we keep him around. Anything more than two years though is like a game of Russian roulette though.
 
Congrats guys. Now that the Canucks are out of it, I'm bandwagoning with the Kings. They're going to upset a big team in the 1st round, plus you have Gaborik, Kopitar, and Mitchell, three players I really like. Let's hope they can stay hot going in to the playoffs.

Welcome aboard...

On another note, NHL tonight's top 5 plays did not even include that save by Quick..
 
We've been scoring much more than usual. And our defense has been a bit more sloppy in that regards. But I would rather have the Kings play like this, so they don't rely on quick too much.
 
Yes. Typical NHL Network. I told myself so Quick's save was only six best? What a joke they are.

So true, gonna send a tweet to mr. Burnside and ask him what he thinks now. Moron.

Are you serious?

Your contention that the Kings tank a game doesn't dignify a response.

I can't read minds. I don't know you. So it just struck me as why would anyone think this?

We will be fine whomever we face in the first round. Looks like San Jose now.

Dude....you are cranky as hell this morning....
 
Funny, was checking the remaining schedule this morning and here in Canada the Kings are featured on TSN or TSN2 quite a bit, evern CBC. Guess they're getting the viewers ready for an extended amount of Kings games come the playoffs. :)

going to be a lot of bored people, because LA plays boring hockey.

F them! complain when you've got a team that can win a round or two in the playoffs
 
And these two guys are still just learning each others games.

How long have we clamored for an elite winger beside Kopitar? They look so good together. Gaborik speaks so highly of Kopitar. I think we'll be seeing these two play together for many, many games.

Ever notice which fans call us boring? It's usually fans of bottom half defensive teams (Washington, Philadelphia, Toronto, Dallas, Phoenix). Perhaps if they adopted a better defensive structure they would be more successful when the games really matter.
 
Rogie Vachon made a save when he was with the Kings that I swear to jebus was nothing less than miraculous. It was the most amazing save I had ever seen either as a player or in now almost 40 years of hockey until I saw Quick's windmill save during the Stanley Cup run. Last night's save goes down as one of the greatest saves I have ever seen in my life. Not miraculous but not far from it. They can pump out their chests and stop hockey games to honor King Henry all they want, Quick just does his job at an amazing level in spite of the NHL's obvious lack of equal coverage of the West.

What an amazing save.

Other than that I have seen several holes in our game lately and last night is no exception. I love that we are winning and love even more that I am seeing 77 centering some talented players meaning that we have significantly more balanced O attack but there are holes in our N and D zone game that worry me going into the playoffs. I love the team and like our chances as well as seeing us getting a little better every game but I would be lying if I said we looked as ready as we did going into the playoffs in 12.

That said I think we might get things perfectly figured out right about the time the playoffs start and if we do we could be right there again. We have the horses and all that is left is letting them run.

GO KINGS GO!!!

so very true. they cite a sound defensive game is boring, but yet their teams can't win when it is important since they can't keep the puck out of their own net.

i like to also add the likes of PIT and MTL to this mix. PIT, Sid and Geno and all the bs press they get only to meltdown in the playoffs year after year. MTL, Price and the holier than thou Canadiens faithful that have forgotten more about hockey than any of us will ever know.

they can all choke on it
