    Game Thread: WCQF G1 Kings @ Oilers 4/22/24

    Got a sick kid at home so I'm actually missing Juniors baseball game tonight. We have discussed all this in the other thread. It's time to put up or shut up, looking at you PLD. Let's Go Kings!

    All things playoffs, Kings or otherwise. Figured this would be the place to post non game day things and whatever we find. Playoffs preview, ESPN: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/39968275/nhl-playoffs-2024-stanley-cup-schedule-preview-predictions-bracket-flaws Predictions, NHL.com...

    G82 43-27-11 Kings vs Hawks 4/18/24

    Last game of the season, hard to believe the season finale is here. Seems like the season just started yet here we are. Not much to say here except it's PO time and it's looking like it'll be Dallas. Vegas is playing Anaheim and I expect them to win so they will be PD3 and the Kings will be...

    Game Thread: G80 42-26-11 Kings vs Ducks 4/13/24

    Game night again, 730pm start on BSW. Probably going to miss part of the first and early second, have to pick up Ms Puck II from a play about 830. Kopitar is probably out tonight, getting some rest in before the POs. PLD will be C1, Dunno, The Lizard and Thomas as C4. Wasn't expecting that, my...

    Official: Bye Bye Doggos

    Coyotes players informed yesterday they will be relocating to SLC starting the 2024-25 season. Happening fast. https://arizonasports.com/story/3539412/arizona-coyotes-moving-utah-relocation-salt-lake-city-nhl/ What an epic failure AZ turned out to be. Highlight for me was seeing Mike Smith...

    Game day again, man I hope it isn't as deadpan as the Anaheim game was. I could have fallen asleep during that one it was so bad. They had their chance to clinch and screwed it up, OK - that's over with, another opportunity tonight. Reminds me of when the Kings could have clinched the Cup in NJ...

    OT: Anyone Realize...

    Rick DiPietro is still being paid by the Isles? Bought out his 15 year/$67.5 million contract in 2013 after 7 years for 16 years/$24 million at a $1.5 million cap hit until June 2029. Dude hasn't played a game in over a decade but keeps getting nice checks. The Kings have their own one with...

    OT: Physical Response

    Can't sleep these days, watching NHL Network and highlights. Blues still hanging around, thumped the Hawks 5-2. Don't let the score fool you, Blues were up 4-0 on their first 4 shots. Game was over 7 minutes into the first. Reaves laid a huge hit on Bedard, who was OK but is their face of...

    Game Thread: G78 41-25-11 Kings @ Quacks 4/9/24

    It's game day, and a chance for LA to clinch a PO spot with a win in any way - regulation, SO or OT. Three spots left (PD3, WC1 and WC2), 4 teams in the running. Kings can make that 2 spots 3 teams tonight. I don't think the Blues will make it and even though mathematically alive Minnesota has...

    Potential PO Clinching Day

    Ducks Blues at 5pm, if the Ducks beat them the Kings are in due to tie breaker. Will be watching that game closely this evening. I said last night in the GDT they are done, it think it officially happens today. Last night getting the loser point against SJ and not 2 was the dagger. Minnesota...

    Game Thread: G77 40-25-11 Kings @ Orcas 4/6/24

    Game day again, I'll be missing probably the first since Junior I has a baseball game from 5-730pm. Should be a good matchup and a possible playoff preview. Dunno is back, I was curious to see how they would handle Thomas because he was up here basically on an emergency recall. Looks like...

    On A Positive Note...

    Watching the Ducks Kraken, wow is Anaheim defensively awful. We're talking PLD would look like a Selke candidate on that team. They're going to be bad for a long while.

    The Legend Hat Trick

    Surprised he didn't throw out his back on that EN goal. Good for him, dude just can't stay healthy.

    Game day, hopefully a much better effort is put out after the Calgary debacle. Can't be any worse right? Somehow I don't even believe myself, this team is all over the map this season. Contender to pretender to somewhere in between - that's what happens when you don't have a team identity...

    Thomas Recallled, Turcotte Visiting His Second Home Again

    Turcotte was put on LTIR which means he won't be available until the second week of April per LTIR requirements and Akil Thomas was recalled and joined the team today for the game in Winnipeg tomorrow. Thomas has been injury prone too the last several years including shoulder surgeries on both...

    End of March already? 2024 is flying by. Feels like NYE was yesterday. Game day again, game time is 7pm as they're in Calgary and it's on KCAL 9 vs the usual BSW. Local TV so a lot of people will be able to catch this game. The Kings need a bounce back from that whooping they took against...

    Game day, 6pm start. I'll miss the first period and change, Junior I has Open House tonight at 6pm. Last week and this week there has been something every night of the week, slow your roll kids, dad needs to watch some hockey. =)~~ Big match up tonight as we all know, Skinner in for Edmonton...

    OT: Lee being Knee Again

    Took out Nico Hischier on Sunday night. Hit look familiar? It should, it's thw same hit he put on Gavrikov. He got a 5 minute major, 5 for fighting and a game misconduct but no supplemental discipline from the league. This dude is going to end someone's career some day, I can't wait to see...

    Game Thread: G71 37-22-11 Kings @ Canucks 3/25/24

    Game day, I have a bunch of kid stuff planned starting at 445pm so I wanted to get this out early. Kings traveled to BC yesterday afternoon and with a 6pm start time didn't hold a practice today so we don't know what their lineup is going to be or the goalie situation. Talbot has the better...

    OT: In Other News...

    Two weeks after being claimed by Nashville on Waivers, JAD has yet to dress in a single game. They're on a roll (14-0-2 in last 16) so not tinkering with lines and chemistry is a no brainer but even on a team that sold off assets and wasn't expected to make the playoffs and not getting in a...

    Game Thread: G69 35-22-11 Kings vs Wild 3/20/24

    She said 69, uh huh huh...uh huh huh. =)~~ Big game tonight, Wild have clawed their way back in and are 3 points out of WC2. Vegas sits there with 79 points, Kings sit in PD3 with 81. The games have evened up, both LA and Vegas have played 68 games but Vegas has 1 more win than LA so this is...

    OT: Simmonds Retires

    Loved that guy as a King, was bummed when LA traded him but Richards paid 2 dividends. Honest player, exceptional teammate. Not a bad career for a B6 player, racked up over 1300 PIMs. Had some offensive skill (500+ points), character guy who was tough as nails and didn't hesitate at all to...

    Game Thread: G65 33-20-11 Kings @ Blues 3/13/23

    Late post, been a busy day but game time is at 430 so 15 minutes. Blues are fighting for a PO spot, they are 8 points behind the Kings and Vegas for WC2. Kings are PD3 by way of points percentage but they could fall to WC2 as well based on what's going on in the division. The Blues are going...
