It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
Kings for the fourth straight game have implemented the plan of jumping out to a 3-0 lead. Nice plan Koala.

Not to mention production wise.
Carter had 50, Richards 40, Stoll 28. (2014) Heck in 2012 Jarret Stoll was a 20 point 3rd liner.
Our current centers are on pace to blow those numbers out of the water.
Centers for the Cup teams vs todays team ( other teams might have a better 1-2 but for 1-4 LA is near if not at the top).
2012-2014 vs 2023/2024
24 year old Kopitar > 35 year old Kopitar (still good)
Carter > PLD (until he proves otherwise)
Richards = Danault (defensive center)
Stoll > Lizzo

Pretty much this.....though I think Lizzo=Stoll at a minimum....
Like I had said, they are extremely similar.....

12 centers were Kopitar, Richards, Stoll, Fraser.
14 it was Kopitar, Carter, Stoll, Richards.

We can all thank Fiala for the extra practice on the PK.
Fiala is the reason we got Lewis back. Getting a top PK guy allows Kevin to slash people in the offensive zone as much as he feels necessary.

Kings have caught and passed the Golden Knights in point percentage for first in the Pacific. At the 19 game mark, the Kings have more points than Vegas at 19 games in.
Yea but it's not playoffs so it doesn't matter.....they still suck until they can win 19 games in the playoffs....

This forum is so boring when things are going well. I blame BLuc.

Yup. It sucks. Things are going so well, we're resorting to bashing Fiala's dumb penalties and PLD's Frolov-like loafing. We need a real topic to b***** about already!
shhhh he will figure out soon .. maybe too much turkey on the holidays

Lizotte still not on the ice.
I think we can assume he had a concussion.
I think we can assume he had a concussion.
Kings goaltending is looking surprisingly solid lately. Talbot seems like an amazing signing and is putting up Vezina-like numbers with this strong Kings team/structure in front of him and Copley looks like he may be returning to solid form with two great starts in a row.
Erik Portillo could end up being a really smart/underrated move by the Kings. He's playing some phenomenal hockey to start his professional career in the AHL. 5-1 record with a 2.17 GAA and a .927 save %. Definitely a small sample size, but if he continues to have a solid year, I'd think he'd be penciled in for an NHL spot next season. He's 6'6 and will be 24 years old next year - Basically exactly what you'd want in a young promising goalie. Especially with a strong team in front of him (and this Kings should still have a strong team next year), he could be pretty damn good.
Still early of course and the Kings may still need to trade for a goalie this year / will need to sign a goalie to tandem with Portillo next year - But gotta be happy with what we're seeing right now. I was panicking early on thinking they needed to bet the farm on a guy like Saros... Now I'm not so sure.
