I'm calling it now, we win big 6-1!
Kopi
Toffoli X2
Amadio
Walker
Carter

Looks like Campbell is likely in again, good. Wish Grundstrom would get a shot, try him on line 1 or try him with Lizzote and Toffoli maybe?

 

[ibleedkings]

Please get Grundstrom in there. Sit one of Kempe, Wagner, Lewis, etc.

 

[King'sPawn]

Kempe continues to play himself down the depth chart.

Toffoli+Kempe package headed out

 

[Lt Dan]

As far back as I remember, Buffalo always beats us so

 

[YP44]

I think Kempe sits tonight and Grundstrom goes in.

ok so I will lower my prediction from pain to a high level of discomfort

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kempe right now isn't anything but a handsome liability.

Hope to see Grundstrom.

I think you are only remembering the road games vs BUF. Pretty sure we've taken the majority of games at Staples over the last several years.

 

[Bandit]

I think Kempe sits tonight and Grundstrom goes in.

Let's hope so but "Flow" is TM's pet project so who knows...

It's meaningless to say they're facing a good team when basically all the teams they face will be good teams comparatively. Score some goals! Try not to be so bad on the PK.

 

[Fishhead]

I feel strangely confident about this one. I did have a drink already though.

To some degree yes, but they've really faced a murderer's row so far.

Buffalo 5-1-1, tied for 3rd in the league
Carolina 6-2, tied for first in the league
VGK 4-3, Cup contender
Nashville 4-2, Cup contender, 4th in conference, 2nd central
Vancouver 3-2, but only 5 GP
Calgary is overrated, still 3-3-1 though
Edmonton, 6-1, tied for first in the league

Combined record: 31-14-2

I get what you're saying in that we are unlikely to face a bad team because we are the bad team but you can't discount being top-5 in possession having faced those monsters.

of that list Vancouver is the lost that hurts the most

We've had our chances, some of which were wide open nets and missed but it'll come and these games will be closer.. not saying we'll win but the games will be even more hard fought until we start unloading players of course

 

[redcard]

Gonna be a bloodbath

 

[kings11]

Gonna be a bloodbath

Ha! .. Eh, nevermind you're probably right

 

[Lt Dan]

Gonna be a bloodbath

So when the Kings were good and Buffalo was horrible, Kings would always go to upstate NY and lose.

Now the tables are turned, Buffalo a better team than the Kings, so about time their fans feel a how the hell did we lose to that team moment.


Kings 5 Sabres 3

And I am getting discounted beer (20% off allegedly) at the game, I feel like a winner already.

If it's a true reversal we'll whip their asses 12-1.

BTW, you know the Kings suck when you can pick up tickets in the Premiere Section tonight for under $30.
