Game Thread: Calgary Flames @ Los Angeles Kings, 2/12 7:30 PM, FS-W

I know why LA has struggled against Calgary. It's because I haven't made the GDT's for those games.

You can all breathe a sigh of relief now.

As for the actual game, it's kind of really important. LA is 5 points back, but with a game in hand against Calgary, win tonight, it's down to 3, still with the game in hand. They would also pick up points against SJ & Vancouver.

For other games? Go Panthers, Rangers, and to a lesser extent Predators.

Go bananas Kings
The Kings will wear their Vintage Jerseys as part of these special evenings -- it will mark the only time the Kings will wear these sweaters during the 2014-15 season – and Kings fans in attendance each night will receive the commemorative poster as provided by McDonald’s.

Every game from here on out is important but those against teams in the Pacific Division that the Kings are trying to catch in the standings are twice as important.

Gaborik – Kopitar – Lewis

I don't get this. Brown was doing OK
I thought the Gaborik Kopitar brown line controlled the puck well and had some success.

Maybe just a pat on the back for Lewis for his hard work down on the 3rd and 4th lines. He might just trying to get him some points and get Brown's physical presence in a more checking role.

Hopefully it's just a smoke screen

Kings are playing well but it's disturbing that they're having so much trouble getting the puck past Hiller. They could very well have 3 goals by now.

Like the McBain/Muzzin - Doughty/Regehr lines

If they keep the forecheck up, they will continue to pepper Hiller and eventually get some goals

But at this point it only takes one mistake and the game is tied and Calgary finds new life.

You were right Ox, I thought Carts was gonna give us the 2-0 lead after the questionable penalty call. Guess that save was a statement for Calagary

 

[pete6835]

Stupid penalty Brown

 

[smackdown380]

Bad call on Brown to be honest and bad no call on the 2nd goal

 

[pete6835]

Quick stays in net, this isn't a goal or penalty.

 

[pete6835]

Big PP morons. Sink or Swim

Toffoli x2

Nice to see so much effort from Kings players, aggressive on the puck and moving around

 

[pete6835]

They need to hit.... They are trying to play the young man's game and keep up with Calgary.
