Game day, 930am on FDS. Will miss this one, Junior I has a baseball game so I'm already at the HS.

Don't have a lot of info on this one being such an early game for us, but Kopitar is back in and Glass Boy was officially put on IR to accommodate that. That probably means Connors will not play, I was hoping to see him. Both Kuemper and Forsberg have good numbers against Philly but I want to see Forsberg, Kuemper has been screwing the pooch since he came back from the Rantanen injury.

Injury was a concern with Kuemper, and I think it's affecting his play. Kings are only alive because of goaltending and the poor division, not the time to hang your hat on Kuemper with only 29 games left.

Philly, been on a skid. Good game for LA to get back in the win column, especially since they have the Canes who will be a tougher out tomorrow in a B2B.

Don't have the 8 Ball on me, Kings win 3-0. Kings goals by Kopitar, Kuzmenko and Perry.

Let's Go Kings!

 

[Kings4OT]

Kempe 2g

Kuz goal waived offsides

DD penalty, ceci and Casper on PK same time

2-1

 

[Kings4OT]

"Byfield trying to...." hear that a lot

 

[Kings4OT]

Ceci hits one out for a penalty in the middle of LA collapsing this period...wont end well i think

 

[Kings4OT]

Ceci out of the box for a breakaway......


2-1 still

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Game sounds about as boring as this baseball game...

Yea, not much going on....a little scrummy here and there. I am liking Ward, should be a decent b6 guy

 

[Kings4OT]

Armia massive trip on Zegras that sends him into Kuemper. Good thing its the end of period. No penalty called, both Zegras and Kuemper acting like it hurts...both probably back in 3rd

 

[Kings4OT]

3rd period started 1 sog ago

Kings still in locker room

2-2

 

[davnlaguna]

Vegas won’t even let you bet that Kings will blow a 2 goal lead

 

[Kings4OT]

Woa, an OT game after a lead?

Weird way to have a game

 

[davnlaguna]

OT
These guys just like being on the ice

 

[Kings4OT]

Kings did have a solid 4min of offense in this one, so silver linings and stuff

 

[Kings4OT]

Nice pass to Konecney for a breakaway off the post.

Casper with a good shot, only time he can almost do something

So arrived

 

[PuckinUgly57]

So basically one of the Buster specials:

1. Someone else does all the work
2. A gimme tap in
3. OT when 40% of the players are off the ice so he can dangle and hot dog because of all the extra space

Got it, ARRIVAL!

Kid is pissed, clawed back to 4-3 but the team fell apart in the 5th inning and got shelled to lose it 9-3. Good times in this house right now but happy to see he is as fiery and competitive as his old man.

I'll catch the replay tonight.

Was a decent shot, but more about goalie missing it than Casper shooting it....but he was able to take the pass up ice like 10 or 15' unobstructed....why he could shoot
