[YP44]

12 wins through 24 games...need to start playing better than .500 hockey

 

[KingsHockey24]

 

[Bandit]

No Chara, no Krejci... no victory for LA.

 

[YP44]

No Chara, no Krejci... no victory for LA.

Eriksson seems to always do well against LA.
I think he gets a couple points.

I am feeling optimistic today.
4-3 LA in a Shootout

 

[Reclamation Project]

How about the Kings actually show up, play 60 minutes, and give a damn? How does that sound?

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Welcome to LA. Come and get it you undead sacks of ****!

 

[Bandit]

How about the Kings actually show up, play 60 minutes, and give a damn? How does that sound?

Sounds about 4 months too early for that ****.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Sounds about 4 months too early for that ****.

Then it might be a "Xbox, Play The Master Chief Collection" night after the 1st period.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Pastrnak with 2 goals and Svedberg with the shutout, Bruins 3-0.

Losing confidence really, team seems so spent. I know it's not apathy but it's probably mental/physical/emotional fatigue finally catching up. And, we can't do **** without Kopitar. He's too important.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'll be there. Checking off Kings bucket list for teams I have seen them play.

 

[King RAZZ]

I'll definitely make this one in time for the puck drop...even if I stay late... I know for sure that I'll miss 6 games outright due to the kettles...

 

[Ron*]

Interesting.

No comments at all about the jumbled-up lines.

 

[Reaper45]

Interesting.

No comments at all about the jumbled-up lines.

Actually that was my first thought. King and Kopitar get rewarded for ****** games and guys like Lewis and Toffoli get dicked.

 

[kingsholygrail]

The lines aren't about rewards.

 

[Little Psycho]

Hope we get Jazz Hands back.

 

[Jeff18]

We should just use the same lineup we had at the beginning of the year w/ that 70's line and see what happens. It's not like it hasn't worked before. Put slumping Kopi on the third line as well.

 

[MynameisKing]

Hope we get Jazz Hands back.

Indeed. Miss his Jazz Hands spewing its Kings Winning Pixie Dust.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Interesting.

No comments at all about the jumbled-up lines.

The lines haven't stayed consistent for more than a period in several games and they're the least of our current worries really. Doesn't matter where people play if they're invisible.

And our d-corps is just a sham right now. But I'm also getting stupid-nostalgic because I've been watching 2012 and 2014 highlight videos for the last hour, haha. The rosters and the play from those runs is just head and shoulders above what we're seeing on paper or ice right now...not that I expect that in the regular season. Just frustrating seeing what we're capable of vs. what we're seeing (I still firmly believe this is the best roster we've literally ever iced if everyone were healthy and firing on all cylinders. But I'm starting to wonder what's left in the tank and if we'll even see that. Plus, the absence of Mitchell is just enormous).

 

[Bandit]

Interesting.

No comments at all about the jumbled-up lines.

Don't take this the wrong way, but who cares? Lines rarely stay consistent and with the way the team has been playing, they shouldn't.

 

[DocWest]

Then it might be a "Xbox, Play The Master Chief Collection" night after the 1st period.

That game is so broken.

 

[taz346]

The way Kings have been playing so far, it's pretty hard to be optimistic about this one.
I'll just be hopeful for a surprise ending.

 

[The Night King]

Kings will have had two days rest while the Bruins played our suburb the night before. We're screwed.

 

[Reclamation Project]

That game is so broken.

I'm a campaign guy. By the time I'm done hopefully they'll have fixed it.
