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.†- Boba Fettuccine​

This'll be the second kings game I attend here.
Should be a win, Hurricanes are pretty bad.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Keep the wins coming.

 

[Ron*]

Trap game.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Trap game.

It's a trap, because no matter who wins, it hurts our draft position

Anyway, being serious, gl tonite guys

 

[kingsholygrail]

Let's hope the Kings aren't so satisfied with their win over the Sharks they overlook the Hurricanes.

Carolina fans must be torn lol

 

[KingsFan7824]

Last time the Kings lost to the Canes at home was back in the 05-06 season. Only been 4 games since then though.

Give me at least a point in a back to back.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

 

[YP44]

Carolina fans must be torn lol

So canes fans must feel like this will definitely be a 3 point game

 

[Omni Owl]

No survivors.

This.

Gladly take 3 of 4 points in any back-to-back with travel.

Note: "with travel" does not include such instances as a home game and a game in Anaheim.

Who was joking about putting Kopi on the fourth line yesterday?

@Rich_Hammond
Optional this morning for Kings: Kopitar a surprise addition to Clifford, Andreoff, Weal, Nolan, McBain, Forbort, Greene, Quick, Enroth.

Kopitar is simply helping the team out with his play, lowering his cap hit to give Dean Lombardi more wiggle room. Such a team player he is.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I've been watching a few Canes games and teams they won (Detroit, Colorado) clearly underestimated them.

Carolina plays a pretty good defensive game and can keep the play outside, which can result into a very frustrating game for the opponent if they dont take them seriously..

I hope the losing streak is still in the back of Kings players heads.. Or else this could be a stinker.

he is probably the most frustrated with his lack of production so far.
Interesting he is out there

 

[goosh]

Hoping Weal gets another shot tonight.

 

[BigBrown]

Aren't the Canes one of the top possession teams so far into the season? Might be tough to play in a back to back situation. Still optimistic about our chances, Carter line is on fire.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Hoping Weal gets another shot tonight.

Jon Rosen ‏@lakingsinsider 29m29 minutes ago
Forbort, Greene staying on for extra work. Andreoff came off a bit before Weal, for whatever it's worth. Quick first goalie off.


looks like u may get your wish

 

[Reclamation Project]

Kings gonna lay a big fat egg.

 

[Martyros]

Kings gonna lay a big fat egg.

And it'll hatch just in time to score 5 goals in the win.

Keep on with the increasing trend of their GF and GA

Kings are usually content to take what an opponent will give them too so that false sense of accomplishment has wrecked more than one game.

However, I'm missing this one, so Kings win

 

[kingsholygrail]

I like to think the 1st line is still considered enough of a threat that the 2nd line is being allowed to exploit 2nd pairings and such.

 

[LAKings88]

Just win.

 

[deeshamrock]

Trap game.

I hope not. I haven't seen the Canes this year but the TSN crew said that Ward was very good Wens vs the Avs in a shutout win. Will see how Lindholm and Hannifin look. McClement is a nice add on the 4th line, good PKer' and faceoff guy. Skinner? I think too many concussions in his first 3 years really affected him. Gerbe has annoyed me since he was a Sabre, during the Flyers Sabres playoffs in 2011 it bothered the crap out of me that nobody could just squash him, he's only about 4 foot tall.
I would like the Kings to get a solid effort from all 4 lines, clean up the zone time, get the puck out faster nad hold onto it longer at the other end
And stay out of the sin bin...too many penalties...
