Dave Bolland, good one

 

[BallPointHammer]

Campbell starting. Very interesting. We need to put these dogs down, just like Colorado.

 

[AlphaBravo]

Kings need to play conservative on defense against the Yotes. They are fast and good at taking advantage of rush opportunities. Sustained fore-check, and avoiding risky plays by the D on offensive rush will be key to victory.

Good call by JS. Every single game is important and two points are on the line, but tomorrow's game is critical for us to win. That and the Colorado game coming up.

 

[TruKingFan]

Campbell is the right call tonight.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Going to miss this one I am going out to shoot some pool and relax. Hoping to come home to a win and reading all the comments in here about the game. Someone please comment on Clifford at least once every period please lol Anyways Jack is the right call and i hope he plays well. Go kings Go

 

[theMajor]

GKG!!!

 

[kovacro]

Campbell is the right call but if the Kings lose then people will say he was the wrong call.

Pump a few goals early and break their will to compete. Make the Yotes’ chase the game and hopefully come the 3rd period, their road legs will show and they will wear down.

Arizona tied for the 4th best record since 2/8/18.

 

[Little Psycho]

Gonna watch this one at the yard house with my boyfriend. Good news is that if we lose I'm right by the beer.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Really need to pump in the first goal.

Campbell is the right call tonight.

Agree--and hope that's sort of a rallying call for the team as well.

Yep, plus they always get up to play us anyway. Hoping our desperation leads to improved play vs. these guys. It's as close to must win as can be at this point.

Go Kings Go!!!

Since 14-15, when the Coyotes went into the rebuild, they're 5-3 in LA. They had won the previous 5 games in LA, before the 6-0 Kings win two months ago. The Kings had scored just 10 goals in the 6 games prior to the 6-0 win.

You guys killed our tank

Imo while both games are important, I think tonight's is more important in terms of just making the playoffs. I really want the kings to get the wc1 seed, so sick of f***ing San Jose.

What if San Jose wins the division?

 

[Kingspiracy]

Lets go Kings, it should be a good game.

 

[kingsfan28]

The Cryotes are on a back to back, so there is no excuse to suck tonight.

 

[kingsfan28]

What if San Jose wins the division?

I thought of this too.

 

[tny760]

faust said muzzin out for the rest of the regular season pretty confidently, thought last we heard was "at least 2 games"

 

[Winger23]

What if San Jose wins the division?

Then I want the kings to kill the ducks obviously lol.

I honestly don't think they'll catch Vegas but you never know..

 

[kingsholygrail]

Wild bury the Stars.

 

[Bandit]

Are we losing yet?

 

[kingsfan28]

Battle of the backups.
