Flames aren't helping our tanking chances


One of my earliest memories as a Kings fan was watching Kopi as a rookie and is a big reason why I am Kings fan today. Amazing to see how far he's come.

The Kings at this point could beat any team and lose to any team. It just depend on whether Calgary shows up or not.

Don't even care about the game, tuning in to appreciate Kopitar.

Flames resting many players, low importance game, just playing out the string.

Now that I think about it.. Did they give Brown anything for breaking Taylor's record?

They're going to be doing that tonight in a pre-game ceremony.

Say what you want about Kopitar this season but, props to him getting to game 1,000. Needless to say, he’s been a big part of the organization over the last decade.

Congrats AK.

Fanta Returns! I’m expecting a 16 second video tribute.

 

[kilowatt]

i hate to say it but this defense is probably the best we can put on the ice lol

what a fall from grace for the once-best defense in the league

Everyone focusing on Brown breaking Taylor's record and Kopitar's 1,00th when we should be talking about Fattenberg vs Toffoli 2.0 haha

Honestly Calgary is resting its top 4 D and their D is still as deep as ours. It is more a mock on how dismal our D is than giving the Flames credit.

They should deport Kopitar

Traditional gift for 1000 games with the same franchise is a silver stick. The one non-Kings NHL game I've been to was a Coyotes game ages ago, and I got to see Teppo Numminen awarded a silver stick for his 1000th franchise games (extending back to the Jets). For the game itself, half the fans were in the concourse (rightfully) watching the Diamondbacks in the World Series.

Didn't Hughes Market eventually get bought out by Albertsons? We gonna lose Hughes, in more ways than one.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It’s fitting that Dustin Brown surpasses the man who drafted him and played just like him. A shame Dave never stuck around in a managerial role as some form of advisor.

 

[Sol]

The biggest joke in the world to take Browns C and not even give him a letter on top of that

 

[Little Psycho]

There's a branch in my eye. They really f***ed up not giving him a letter

[Sol]

Lol OK quick wtf was that

 

[Little Psycho]

Tank on!

 

[kovacro]

Haha..Quick like a fish out of water there. Good start boys. Keep it rollin’.

 

[crassbonanza]

Maybe MacDermid should start taking runs at Gaudreau like Tkachuk did on Doughty. That way we can laugh at a rookie getting in the heads of an opponent.
