Nothing would make me happier than Byfield/Vilardi/Kupari/Kaliyev/Spence/Durzi having productive games in a Kings against-all-odds victory.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'll prepare Quick's eulogy.

 

[YP44]

I'll prepare Quick's eulogy.

I thought Cal was going tonight?

[eleventy]

Sure why not. Kings win again.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings win 5-1 tonight, lose 7-0 to Sharks because hockey

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

So who leads that list in wins?

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Kings win 5-1 tonight, lose 7-0 to Sharks because hockey

Would you prefer the opposite?

 

[Choralone]

Woof. Quick, Campbell, Jones. Fire Ranford!

 

[kingsholygrail]

We'll get through this.

 

[Sol]

You’ll never see Jim talk about quick.

It’s no secret that our goalies have been bad for a month or so now.

 

[Bandit]

Quick, Doughty, Kopitar, Brown. The 4 Derpskateers. Jim would never say anything negative about any of them.

New, from 3/15 Preview - Injury Updates, including Edler (!!) + Lineup Notes, Kid Line, Vilardi on the Wing - LA Kings Insider

Would LOVE nothing more, than to see these 3 launch their careers bigtime...all together. If they can have a big week, may even negate the need for a deal for a forward.

Todd on Byfield-Vilardi-Kupari

“They all played with pace, they were responsible on both sides of the puck,” McLellan said today. “If they continue to do that, they can become a really good line. Faceoff-wise, I saw Gabe taking them on the right and Q taking them on the left, which is a great thing and then you’ve got Ras, the three of them should be able to have the puck off the draw if it’s not going well. The pace that they played, with and without the puck, was impressive and against a team that can really skate well. We’re going to need that again tonight.”

Speaking with two-thirds of that line, Vilardi and Kupari both agreed that chemistry felt pretty good, especially in the offensive zone. That’s where those three want to play, but having them be solid defensively is what will allow them to play offensively. Through 60 minutes, so far so good.

Vilardi – Yeah, we were alright. We played together in Ontario, we’re good friends and I think it’s really just the d-zone, making sure we’re talking. In the o-zone, we all kind of think the game well, so we can just move around and try to create.

Kupari – It was good, I think we kind of just found chemistry right away. We got together, we made some plays, had some chances and scored that goal. I thought, all game long, we played a pretty solid game.

Been advocating for this for a while. The RIchards/Carter scenario.

That shits annoying

Kopitar's stats for March:

GP	G	A	PTS	+/-	TOI/G
7​	0​	1​	1​	-3​	20:33​

His 1 point came on a play where he mishandled and lost the puck and it coincidentally went to Arvidsson who scored.

The points are not good but that -3 is more worrisome. It seemed like he lost control of Barkov so much that in the third period Danault eventually got matched with that line.

I dunno, 1 point in 7 games for a 10mil "number 1 center" is pretty f***ing atrocious.

 

[Sol]

Kopitar is sooooo consistent….consistently A BAD CAPTAIN I AGREE

 

[LAKings88]

Let’s go!

Just win.

 

[KingsFan7824]

2pts between Fla and Col would be great, so they got that already. Whatever happens tonight, the for love of Christmas, be ready to play hockey against the Sharks. Honestly. The 3 games have been beyond sad. And, of course, don't lose more personnel.

Stat Watcher alert!

Such a hater

 

[AbsentMojo]

those D pairs are nuts. id say allocation should go as follows:
Spence Maata 25
Movarare and Durzi 25
Other 2: 10 (if that)

 

[redcard]

Curious to see how the 6th pair handles the Avs plugs tonight.
