Didn't get a chance to watch this one, but I just checked out the highlights on youtube. Did the Kings really only have 1 shot in last 5:40? Looks like they blocked a bunch of shots and the Kings missed the net a few times too.

Sounds like I missed a hell of a performance from 6K. Luukkonen’s entire career has been made trying to spite the Sabres for favoriting Levi so much. I love it. Get the fuel where you can.

Let’s get Tage back and f***ing kill the Ducks and Sharks. (Gonna go 1-1)

Good. Glad the Sabres won vs. that garbage style of play.
Was almost expecting 1-0, but not in this direction.

I'm glad we can actually win a game like that. A quick look and I think 2017 was our last 1-0 regulation game. Sounds like we were a bit lucky too, but in the past few years it seemed like this type of game simply wouldn't be winnable

Watched YouTube highlights... might just be a biased 10 minute clip selection, but even when I knew they won I was still tense watching. Teams generate SO MUCH chaos in front of our goaltenders.

One of the few times in the last years where desparately holding down the fort actually worked for this team.

I miss Skinner but not having him, Olofsson and old man Okposo out there in the last frantic minutes helps.

Feels nice to have more well rounded players in Mcleod and Zucker

Bryson looks decent in comparison. Kevyn needs to go and get that top 4 RD.

Dahlin - Byram is very solid.
Yup ... that and 2C are the biggest holes on the roster. The fact that Bryson looked better in the top 4 than Joki is alarming. Honestly, McLeod might be their answer for 2C moving forward. He's almost a Cirelli-level already and is young enough where his best years are coming. I can certainly see him break out with 50-60 points in his best years. Perhaps Kulich at 3C is coming sooner than we all thought.

I'd also argue they need a better top line winger-duo than Peterka/Tuch as well. It doesn't appear that anyone in the pipeline that is on a 1st line trajectory. I'd love to see these two as 2nd liners as they're great at what they do, just not elite all the way around. Tage when healthy is a top half of the league 1C, but could use some strong playmaking wingers around him. I'd have argued that Quinn would be just that coming into the year, but he is proof that development is certainly not linear.
