When this team gets goaltending and Todd doesn’t commit coachicide we can beat anyone in the league.

Vancouver is smoke and mirrors they will fall back to earth hard.

 

[ru4reals]

Byfield with another assist.

7 assists in the last 4 games. I'm taking the ust away and giving his Y back. 11 points in 12 games. Lets F**kin go!!!

Team really had to earn that win, nice to see the adjustments from the first game. Team is just rolling right now, almost went 6 straight periods without giving up a goal. Spence had an awesome night against a really good team, Arty had a strong game too.

Lol re coachicide..

Why you think Van will fail? they have a top 5 center, D and goalie - thinking QHughes might regress?

Awesome ending to an awesome game. PL ditches the monkey, Byfield continues to play like a #2, Talbot solid again, Spenny shows the Nation he is here to stay and Kopy with 400. Fun team to watch.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Lundqvist has such an odd hairline

 

[King'sPawn]

Pretty much a perfect game against the defending champs. Biggest blip was the Dubois line, particularly on the goal against. Thought Kaliyev had a pretty rough game, too. He should never be in charge of zone exits.

The way all the players congratulated Kopitar on No. 400 goes to show how respected he is.

 

[ru4reals]

All things considered, that's about as impressive as a 4 game road trip gets. Only thing that could have made it better was getting the Vegas fans to boo their team as well

They manhandled Toronto, Ottawa and Philadelphia, now a fantastic showing against the champs. This team will do well when the goalies are good. When Cam is on and making saves they are a good team for sure.

 

[The Butcher]

Talbot 1 goal on 38 shots. Englund and Cam are making Blake look like a genius. I don't think most expected him to claim the net so quickly.

PLD isn't quite making Blake look like an asshole at the moment because winning cures all. At least he's putting points on paper.

The one thing that Blake has been really good at doing over the years is dumpster diving and finding gems.

I thought the Danault line was equally bad tonight, they got steamrolled whenever they were out there against Vegas' top 2 lines. It was the top line and the 4th show tonight.

The goal against was a total breakdown, freakin everyone dropped down too low. But hey, no one has shut down Vegas like that this year. Otherwise coverage was absolutely fantastic.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

This Slovenian kid is gonna score 400 goals, guys. Book it.

Can you Imagine Kopi-Star was the 11th overall choice in the 2005 Draft?

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

A competitive game tonight would go a long way towards me believing in this team; they have yet to prove themselves against the top teams in the league.

So, you ‘believe’ now?

Agreed. I thought Kaliyev was the biggest issue on the Danault line tonight, but I agree they weren't spectacular.

 

[Mats26]

Good win. We need to get that home record straighten out now,

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Good to see Kempe,Dubois,Moore and Kopi score! And 2 Apples for Spence,An assist for Byfield!Solid/Good/Great game in Goal and Defensively

Anaheim's not playing tomorrow can we play on the road at the pond against the pens.

They’ve played one of the easiest schedules in the league for starters.

They’re probably a playoff team but they have nowhere near the depth of teams like Vegas and LA.

 

[Rick Knickleback]

Nice to see PLD get a meaningful point. Kings’ overall play after Vegas’ goal was as good as they’ve been all year. Locked it down.

 

[Sol]

Gotta give it to the koala, this years team doesn’t fold. Last year it was horrible but Todd has adapted dare I say for the first time in his career.

 

[mbar]

This is a really really good Kings team.

We rarely look so dominant in the regular season.

Happy to be so wrong when I scoffed a bit at Luc’s claim we were “Cup contenders”. We look every bit contenders.

Got it.. Im going to have watch some of their games now. I think maybe Tochet has stabilized things.. they were in such disarrray last few season but always thought their roster was pretty good.

Who are you and what have you done with the real Sol?
