Think JAD card needs removal. Is it Kaliyev tonite or maybe we get to see Fagemo?

Edit: and thanks for always doing the game day threads : )

Feel like it’s gonna be a 5-1 bloodbath, Dallas. They have our number.

But maybe because I have low expectations I’ll be pleasantly surprised. They HAVE gotten up for the stronger teams lately.

Interesting stat about Dallas. They only have 28 regulation wins in 65 games. We think of them as being a great team, but that's not a very good stat.

Kings have 27 regulation wins in 62 games. Nashville has 29 in 64 games.

There's no 3-on-3 or S.O. in the payoffs.

Oetter is not having a great year - im not sure if its more on him or the team defense.. but his 2.95 gaa and .900 save "pct" is very pedestrian

That is really interesting. I never would have guessed. Every time I see them they’re such a wagon.

 

[All The Kings Men]

Fagemo and Clarke weren't recalled from Ontario.

Turcotte and Moverare were.

The kings currently have 6 healthy defenseman and only 12 forwards on the roster.

This doesn't preclude a call up of Clarke or Fagemo but as of right now... the linup for tonight should be fairly clear based on who is and isn't available.

Does anyone know if the game will be available on ESPN+?

Listen its been a really rough week for me especially over the last 24 hours, I basically did this on autopilot and wasn't even sure if wanted to make it today. And these things change all the time so I try to keep the thread updated as more info comes out.

Interesting test tonight. Break out the measuring stick.

That wasn't a shot at you it was meant to be additional context to Bernstein's tweet.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Predicting a slaughter. Dallas owns us

 

[FrozenKing18]

I’m expecting a 2-1 game lol

 

[Omni Owl]

Hope Kempe isn't being rushed back too early. Dallas is pretty stacked, but @ least Seguin and Dadonov should be out.

Sorry to hear it's been tough lately for ya. We all appreciate the time you spend making these. I usually pop in to give them a read even when I can't catch the game.

Hope things take a positive turn for you soon.

 

[Sol]

Ugh I hope Kempe isn’t back on the first line. Turcotte is much better than a floating winger. Wow he’s only got 19 goals? If Kempe isn’t scoring then he’s not doing anything and he hasn’t been scoring.

Only 5 more goals than PLD. Damn lol

Think he's second in hits amongst forwards and was the team's leading scorer when he went out.

All he needs is a hot stretch like your boy Fiala has finally put together and, bam, he's closer to 30 by season's end.

He hasn’t been hot since pre-season and unfortunately he’s also pretty one dimensional. I mean the fact that Kopitar has one less goal than him says a lot. I think Kempe has been given a pass for some reason when he hasn’t done much at all the entire year. When Kempe isn’t scoring goals he’s pretty much got nothing else besides occasionally smoldering at the opposition.

That makes him Bob Probert on this team.

He had eight points in the five games before the injury. His shooting percentage is down significantly from the past two seasons but, then again, he was at 14 and 16% for those two years which is pretty high. Seems like a big reason for the dip is that the one timer on the power play is gone. 11 power play goals last season compared to only two this season; however, he had nine assists on the power play last year v. 15 this season: tied with Fiala for most assists on the power play. Second on the team behind Moore in even strength goals.

Point being is that we should all want him back in the lineup if he is truly ready to go. We should all want Turcotte in the lineup as well.

Might roll with Kempe, Kopitar, Turcotte, Danault line, then Byfield, PLD, and Laferriere, or swap Laf and Turcotte etc,

Either way, it's still a really really deep top 9

Its deep but doesnt seem so because they are never all rolling at the same time.
If they can all get hot at the same time rolling into the playoffs it would be great.
