SEASON SCHEDULE | RESULTS

Disclaimer: “GDT may not be 100% accurate. I got the line combos from your mom. I used to have Center Ice, Gamecenter Live, and an undercover concession worker in each arena, but this **** costs money. I will admit that my pet otter is using all up that money on his worsening opium problem. I try to not be an enabler, but I haven't had a sea urchin problem in months. Then I thought, why should I pay all this money and have a sea urchin problem to appease fans of random teams that I don't even care about anyway? Unless you are willing to take a bunch of sea urchins off of my hands, don't ***** if I get the lines wrong.” - BF​

Let's do this Kopi!

 

[mrkolice]

looking forward to this one, it could be a very good game, even with standards so high after yesterday. tampa is a good team, with some good talent and some good coaching, we've already experienced it this season. alarm clock set at 4:00 am.

[ru4reals]

Just win I dont care how ugly please! 11 of next 13 on the road need all the points we can get.

 

[KINGS17]

Probably a good time to give Enroth another start. TB is missing some key guys up front.

Gotta think it will be Enroth, and likely Vasilevskiy for Tampa.

 

[cyclones22]

Win this damn game so I can make fun of all my co-workers during my conference calls tomorrow.

It was good times in 2014 when on a call they were like, "Looks like both of our teams are going to be golfing soon", after the Lightning and Kings both were down 0-3 in the first round. You can imagine how much mileage I got out of that conversation over the next few months.

 

[Little Psycho]

Quick will get the start

@lakingsinsider
Quick off first. Faced 10 minutes of shots or so at the morning skate. Enroth still on. #LAKingsGoalieTweetOff

 

[Ken Baumgartner 22]

Vasilevskiy starts for Tampa Bay. Bishop will be backup. Bishop suffered an eye injury vs San Jose. Bishop's vision is back to normal, he will go see an eye doctor back in Tampa when team returns home...!!!

 

[Winger23]

Quick will get the start

I hope I'm wrong but WTF. There is absolutely no reason to play quick back to back. None. His record when doing this is terrible and enroth has been good.

To be fair, this isn't a typical back-to-back, they have an extra few hours (day game yesterday) and no travel.

But I agree, no reason not to go with Enroth.

I still think Enroth will start tonight, regardless of who came off the ice first.

 

[kingsholygrail]

To be fair, it's not like Quick had a lot of work yesterday.

 

[fyrescorp]

Please don't let Matt Carle score

 

[KingCanadain1976]

lets get another 2 points before this long road trip. The more we get now makes it a lot easier at the end of the season . Go kings go

awesome !!!

 

[Reclamation Project]

Eight years ago to the day, Jonathan Quick made his NHL debut with the Kings in the club's 8-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at STAPLES Center.

The Kings, 10-15-2 (22 PTS) coming into the game on December 6, 2007, sat dead-last in the Pacific Division and Western Conference, and 29th out of 30 teams in the NHL.

NHL debuts can’t be easy, and the nerves have to be unbearable, but for Quick that night, the Kings built a 7-0 lead on the Sabres through the midway point of the game with a flurry of goals on Buffalo’s Jocelyn Thibault and Ryan Miller.

Quick, who recorded 15 saves that night, made his biggest one on Derek Roy midway through the first period when the Kings’ lead was just 2-0.

Dustin Brown (2G, 1A) and Anze Kopitar (4A) combined for seven points that game; in fact, they are the only two players on the ice for the Kings that night, beside Quick, who are still with the team.

They were, also, arguably the two most positive things going for the Kings at the time. Brown extended a point-streak to seven games (5G, 6A), Kopitar five games (3G, 6A).

Oh how things have changed.

 

[King RAZZ]

Beaut of a block by Doughty...

 

[cali101]

doughty saves the day... he's money.
but our team reeling just now.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings are already in a charitable mood.

 

[kingsfan28]

Kopitar just threw Stamkos off his shoulder, like please.
