Big Game Story: This is the first of two meetings this season. The Los Angeles Kings and Tampa Bay Lightning last faced off Feb. 7, 2012, when the Kings earned a 3-1 victory behind the efforts of goalie Jonathan Quick, who made 24 saves. The teams meet again Nov. 19 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. One area Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper would like to see improvement in is the team's penalty kill, which ranks 26th in the NHL. The Lightning allowed three power-play goals to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 5-4 loss on Saturday and have now allowed seven power-play goals in 22 times short (31.8 opponents' percentage). The Kings will enter the game with the ninth-best power play in the League, scoring at a 25-percent efficiency through six games. Tampa Bay had three separate one-goal leads in the game and failed to hold on as the Penguins scored three times in the third period, with the final two coming on power-play chances after penalties by Alex Killorn and Richard Panik. GO KINGS GO !!!

- UPCOMING SCHEDULE -

NOTE : Regarding LARGE SIZE IMAGES / YELLOW RE-SIZE IMAGE BARS ABOVE PICS, let me offer up one nice little suggestion ...
This will get rid of those pesky yellow resize bars over the top of some larger pictures ... as they annoy the hell out of me and maybe they do you also ?
- Go into/click on your "USER CP" {control Panel} up top left in the red bars
- on the left under 'Settings & Options' click on "Edit Options"
- scroll down to 'Thread Display Options', and then 'Please Select the Resize Mode'
- click on the 'Drop Down List Box' over on the Right of 'Please Select the Resize Mode'
- select it to "KEEP ORIGINAL SIZE"
- SAVE your selections !
There ... now don't that look MUCH BETTER

Let's go Carter.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Keep the road trip rolling.


Or fall flat on their faces.

 

[Nefarious]

Keep the road trip rolling.

Yup, need another strong game from the boys. An added win to the streak wouldn't hurt either.


...why am I still awake. Going to bed now.

 

[SuperAlmeida]

Let's go Kings!

 

[Alisa]

Excited to see if the new lines get things moving. Would love to see a decisive win tonight, but I'll take another two any way we can get em.

Go Kings Go!!!

 

[Steve Zissou]

Looking at Tampa's IR makes me happy weren't that lucky.

 

[drugold]

If you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today you'd better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic

Woooooooooo chooooooooo

 

[damacles1156]

Should be lots of room to skate, Tampa doesn't defend what so ever. Should be a fun 4-3 or 6-5 game.

Tampa Bay is going to have a hard time handling King/Kopitar/Carter. That is a huge line with speed and skill.

what have you seen so far this season that makes you think the Kings are capable of putting up 5 or 6 goals in one game?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

what have you seen so far this season that makes you think the Kings are capable of putting up 5 or 6 goals in one game?

I dunno, I thought last game that was only limited by Cam Ward.

Tonight we'll be facing sloppy Lindback or a returning-but-rusty Ben Bishop and a team whose defense makes the Ducks look like 6 Norris candidates.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

what have you seen so far this season that makes you think the Kings are capable of putting up 5 or 6 goals in one game?

The tilt of the earth's axis and global warming will skew life as we know it for one day. Things that never were will be possible...up will become down,right coast will become left coast. East Coast Bias will become West Coast Bias. LA will score 5 goals at ES.... 5-2 LA....

 

[Reaper45]

I've never heard of half of their roster. I do wish we'd have drafted Gudas though. He looked good in his time in camp here.

 

[CNS]

A team with suspect D and questionable goaltending.

We'll be shut out.

 

[ElKingsFan92]

A team with suspect D and questionable goaltending.

We'll be shut out.

If this actually happens, I'm blaming you.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

when this actually happens, I'm blaming you.

FTFY

It's so true it hurts! Should be a high scoring game? 1-0 final.

This os not the same defense you played the last time.. They have been pretty solid so far this season and Bishop who was amazing in the games he played for us this season will start

Anyway not gonna troll around here, but I hope for a great, exciting and close game tonight

Cheers, right back at ya!

 

[CNS]

Nah. Blame Sutter. And Quick.

 

[Basilisk]

Does Gudas really play on their top D pairing?

I remember when he attended the Kings training camp and impressed everybody who saw him...... and then we had the opportunity to draft him, but we gave that pick & Purcell to Tampa for stupid Jeff Halpern. Easily DL's worst deal as the King's GM, if there even was a worst deal.....

 

[Bandit]

I dunno, I thought last game that was only limited by Cam Ward.

Tonight we'll be facing sloppy Lindback or a returning-but-rusty Ben Bishop and a team whose defense makes the Ducks look like 6 Norris candidates.

Every team in the league has hung 6 on the rags, except us...

 

[TimbeS]

Anyone remember that one of a kind mantra that brought us a couple wins last season ? It was something along "my team please win because I live you and when your sad I cry". I laughed so hard today when I remembered it. What was the actual form?

 

[Ricebox]

Correction to your GDT: Bishop is back and Healthy, he is getting the start

Good luck guys

 

[TheSlovenian]

Kings win 9-0. Kopitar with 9 goals.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Every team in the league has hung 6 on the rags, except us...

Meaning what exactly???

How about if we were to defeat the teams that defeated the rags?

Silly argument, if you ask me.
