GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs at Los Angeles Kings - January 12, 2015 - 7:30 p.m. (PST)

[Holden Caulfield]

So Toronto wants to get with the times and go with advanced stats, but then they cook the books making all their advanced stats irrelevant. Brilliant!

Well any half decent stats person pretty much tosses hits, giveaways and takeaways so not really haha.

How about a 60 minute effort?

60 minutes of drinking after the game? I'm sure Carter and Richards are down...

And why do the Jr. Kings realize the pimptasticness of the purple and gold jerseys but the big club is completely oblivious to the fact that they're awesome?

Just win this one, please. I don't want to hear Leaf Nation in my earhole tomorrow at my office.

 

[The Night King]

Would be great if the Kings didn't give up 2/3 goals in the first period.

 

[Ken Baumgartner 22]

Yeah, I'm gonna go against the norm here and say that Richards actually has a decent game, and I will predict he scores a goal. And the KINGS will prevail 4-1 behind a stellar performance from Jones.

Adversity, the time is NOW for the role players to step up, the goal scorers to score and the defense and goaltending to shine

Lieweke had the parade route planned before he left the Leafs.

Kings win also gets me a large Tim Horton's double double and a sausage & egg breakfast bagel as per the routine Leafs/Kings bet with my boss.

Paul Romanuk and Greg Millen..yuck.

This game is taking forever to start.

 

[BigBrown]

For some reason I'm thinking one team will win convincingly, but I have no idea which. With the adversities and recent injuries it feels like the Kings are due for a good game just to remind everyone not to sleep on the champs. They tend to be their best when things look the worst. But we might not be at that point yet.

Jump on these guys early

Kessels being a diva, doesn't like the intro song.

 

[Bandit]

So how long until we see Quick? 15 minutes?

 

[kovacro]

That looked in.

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Who is this team in black, the one that just scored a goal barely a breath into the first period???

Off the camera inside the net. 1-0.
