I am going to be as stitious as possible. I dressed my cat like the Godfather and my other cat like Shrek

 

[redcard]

It's gonna be a bloodbath.

Morning game in Buffalo?

Nope, a 7 pm game – finally a standard, reasonable puckdrop time for Kings fans in Europe!

Any idea of who will be playing for you guys? I can’t give you any idea who will be playing for Buffalo, because everybody is seemingly injured this season for them, sometimes even during practice

Guessing here:
Anderson Dolan - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson
Iafallo - Byfield - Brown
Lemieux* - Lizotte - Kaliyev

Anderson - Doughty
Bjornfot - Durzi
Maatta - Roy

Petersen
Quick

*Lemieux is day-to-day, so if he's not in, it will be Grundstrom

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Walker is done for the season, correct?

 

[King'sPawn]

Walker is done for the season, correct?

Yep. He's out for the season. Edler may come back before the playoffs.

It looks like Athanasiou is drawing in based on how they skated yesterday according to Dooley:

Anderson-Dolan – Kopitar – Kempe
Moore – Danault – Arvidsson
Iafallo – Byfield – Brown
Athanasiou – Lizotte – Kaliyev
Grundstrom

I'm not sure I understand the Kings' fascination with Athanasiou. His individualistic style of play is the exact opposite of what has made the Lizotte line so good. Grundstrom fills the necessary role much better.

Buffalo has always been a challenge, I don't expect today's game to be any different.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Unfortunately I'm going to miss this one, I hope for a good result

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'm confident in the Kings but not the start time. I hope they eat their Wheaties.

 

[mysterman2]

buffalo games always weird for the team...

 

[LAKings88]

Buffalo beat two good teams recently. Can’t sleep on them.

 

[johnjm22]

Buffalo is the Bermuda Triangle for the Kings. Weird stuff happens there.

Doughty has been getting on my nerves lately, and I'm not expecting that to change today. He doesn't strike me as the type of guy who likes being up at 10am.

It's a 1pm game.

It's a 1pm game.

I definitely didn't know that.

All these years I've been watching east coast games, and I had no idea that there was a time zone difference.

Well it wouldn't be the first time someone here insinuated how difficult it would be for the Kings to play a game so early in the morning. But yet, we's seen them play plenty of 1pm games here in LA -- in fact, the last one I can remember was a 1pm game in October against Buffalo, Kings won.

Yes, but these guys live on the West coast. It might be 1pm over there, but their internal clocks, their routines, are 3 hours behind.

There's been plenty of early games the Kings have won, but we tend to remember the bad more than the good. It's human nature.

 

[Little Psycho]

Gonna miss this one. I don't have faith in Petersen.

 

[Mully12]

Is it normal in Buffalo to sing Oh Canada when both teams are American?

 

[tny760]

buffalo f***in hemorrhages goals, really gotta show up for this one

 

[Mully12]

Stuck with Buffalo's feed on ESPN +, is the game not on Bally's in LA?
