Game Thread: G50 26-17-6 Kings @ Canes 2/1/25

Canes putting heat on LA, hope they don't fall apart here in the third.

Fiala a beauty....close enough puck

One of the best goals of the season, that's the plus side of Fiala gonna do Fiala things.

I know people hate hearing this but he needs someone that can keep up with him in hockey sense. If they have another similar plays fast/reactionary they could actually score setting up, but as is,the Kings really have a team full of guys whos offensive skill is almost only off the rush

I was totally kidding a few games ago saying Jill will go full line blender and put Lewis on the top line with Kopitar and Kempe, guess who is up there...

Look at that Fiala, showing Steve Austin how he should play twice and hes like 1/2 size

But but but...he's doing all the defensive things right.

Jarvis another 2020 1st rounder whos improved steadily every year....hows that even possible? Thought they are all still too young

Weak on DD8, but now fling it at open net on pk

Cant imagine Kings being in this one at all, I expect them to be struggling start to finish....which mesns they win 3-2 some how.

Gonna say close enough, really seemed like the Canes controlled the play but LA won somehow. Lots of these ghis season

Looked pretty even to me until the third when Carolina turned it up. I'm actually surprised they didn't tie it up but they hit a lot of posts tonight too. They have a pretty talented team for sure.

Either way, good way to end an otherwise extremely disappointing road trip, 3/10 possible points and let Vancouver and Calgary back into it in a week. Hopefully being back home for 3 games before the 4 Nations break helps them.

Just turned on the Flames Wings, clearly they know LA won and a win still keeps them one point behind. Farabee and Frost look good so far.

Red Wings and McLellan do the Kings a solid and beat the Flames 3-1, wolves stay at bay for a day. Kings still PD3 (60), Flames still WC2 (57).

They're playing the Canucks (56) though today at 5pm on a B2B, don't think they win that one but will be pulling for them.
