Please please please I lived through the post Gretzky era of 94'-05' I don't want to be in that time period ever again in Dean we trust. Hopefully!
kings won the face-off battle. 53%

The bright side: Last year we lost to San Jose and Arizona in the first two games of the season, then went on a 6 game winning streak. Here's hoping.

But Carter was at 42%, and Kopitar at 35%. Does Kopitar lose every faceoff at the start of a PP?

Lucic just doesn't fit in well yet. Weal looked like a rookie, minus that nice pass he made to Nolan. Pearson looks a bit overmatched right now.
McNabb playing more like the beginning of last season instead of the end.
Quick with two forgettable nights.
A lot went wrong with the team. On the plus side, they were able to generate a lot of chances. Ehrhoff looks good, too. The Brown line looks serviceable.

Ehrhoff and Brown are definitely two positives this year
Muzzin is terrible though so far, we haven't talked about him that much
Herby
How could Blake have known?
I just don't know what to think, it's still only two games but this roster strikes me as very average, especially on the back end. This is easily the worst defense the Kings have had since the 08-09 season.

He lost a goalie that can make a save, and a top line that can make a play. And a 2nd line. And a PP. And Muzzin. And Doughty hasn't done much.
Quick really should just maybe save a shot. Or at least try to. If Sutter looks clueless, Quick is matching it.
6 months, not making the playoffs, and man, do they look like it was all just talk. 2 home games against division teams, outscored 9-2, 7-1 at ES, and all they can muster is a couple scuffles when the games are already over.

Muzzin/Doughty have been terrible so far. Your defense is going to struggle BIG TIME, When your two horses up front can't connect simple passes.
Also The Kings top six has been awful, in all facets of the game. Hence 0-2 being outscored 9-2.
Looks like the Vets will need six or more games, to actually get up to speed.

The time off is all well and good for recuperation etc but there's no substitute for proper game time for putting it all together. I wonder if we will see the benefits of a longer off season more towards the end of the season than the beginning (at this rate I hope so anyway)

how did it end though?
With the same record as 2012. I'm just saying two games doesn't make a season.
I've watched a lot of bad Kings teams over the years and I don't think this is one. The possession stats may not matter within a game, but over a season they will. We also have a first line forward and a top 4 defenseman learning a new system, it may take a bit to gel.
He looks skinnier than he did last year. And a bit quicker on the second step.
Need a save or two. And the Franchise center to make an appearance.

Allow me to retort
Well, the way things have started off....the bright side will only blind our eyes enough to not watch this crap anymore.
yeah ya got a point there....
shore was by far the best, and weal won his only 2.
the rest of the guys were all less than 50%
Lucic looked a bit better tonight. He's still not familiar enough with everybody, a step late, his passes wrong handing his partners.
Another good hustle game from Clifford. If he only had hands. His body gets him there, and then, buh. Over the net, off his stick, too much for his teammate to handle.
For most of the game the passing was sharper. The errors just all ended up behind Quick, who looked like my one eyed dog again tonight (what? where? aww, geez.)
Too bad Weal didn't show more.
