They are playing with a lot of confidence. Like they can beat anyone right now. Gotta love it. Mclellan is squeezing every ounce of talent out of the roster.

Only just right now? Dudes probably a nice guy but he's a strange bird. I was just thinking of thus bizarre segment the other day.
Daryl Evans is a treasure. He's just picking up the slack in the absence of Don Cherry.
TM made an interesting comment regarding Brown. I guess they've taken him off the PK which is giving him more energy for his offense.

When I was at the game against the Blues back in 2019 before Christmas Eve (had nosebleed center ice view), I saw Daryl Evans talking to a random fan near the entrance of the section where I was at. I really wanted to say "nice suit," to him, but I didn't have the heart to do it.
I remember at one of the Cup stops I saw him at, he had this really shimmery sharkskin like suit on. Only he could get away with it.

Great win really good to see a little stretch of success. Kids are coming through and the vets are playing out of their minds. No one wants to go to Seattle it seems. LOL. Even though a shortened season a long ways to go. But really curious if Kupari will get a cup of tea. I mean he can't be any worst then Amadio can he. I guess he's young but maybe after the next lost replace him for Amadios for a game. AA-Kupari-Wagner.

Bjornfot is really f'ing good. Even if Durzi never makes it (and I'm rooting for the kid), Muzzin for Tobi and Grundstrom is a great return.

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
Doughty still needs to cut down on the defensive zone give-aways, but he's playing with a confidence we haven't seen in a while.

That was excellent hockey by the kings for the first 50 minutes of the game. Can’t recall a better performance recently. Had to hang on at the end. Really wonderful to watch.
Both goalies played fantastic.
it’s a joy to watch kings games again.

I loved that Sutter helped get the Kings over the top, but his mind games toward the end of his tenure hurt the team more than anything. There's a reason why he has such a short coaching shelf life.
Wouldn't surprise me, Clague and Bjornfot are essentially platooning that spot. Doesn't hurt either of them to see top minutes especially on the PP for a couple of weeks.
I am not concerned about his ELC, he has proven that he is a NHLer and deserves to have his contract activated.
I'm wondering if the coaching staff is losing a little confidence in Bjornfot or if Maatta is just earning more ice time? I saw Maatta out there with 90 seconds to go and the Blues goalie pulled. Also saw a few other shifts where Maatta looked like he replaced Bjornfot for a shift or two. Maybe just even out the ice time?

Maatta's played well ever since he got back in the lineup, especially since he got paired with Strand, and continued his solid play tonight.

Best performance I can remember since the '18 season. Depleted Blues team for sure but the Kings looked great regardless.
Tough call on Bjornfot if they win every game he plays in. You'd like to slide that contract but they owe it to the team to show that they want to try to win. I still think they send him down though.

Pretty sure the team quit on him. TM even mentioned that it's taken time for the team to accept change.

I recommend everyone read this entire thread. It's nice to see winning hockey and everyone playing well but there are some lines in here that made me spit out my drink

I was subjected to the Blues broadcast tonight. A couple of fun facts that were repeated throughout the game. Did you know that Brayden Schenn was drafted by the Kings? That's some deep trivia. Also, that he's put up a good amount of points while playing against the Kings. Good for Schenn, but I trade him 101/100 times for Mike Richards in 2011. Panger...holy jumpin I can't take it.
