Game night again, the last one before the 4 Nations break and third in four nights for LA. Game time is 730pm on FDS. I'm still doing crap for the Super Bowl party tomorrow (if anyone who's local wants to come, message me or text and I'll give you the address. Starts at 1pm and ends about 9pm) so I'll have this on and running around like a madman in the house.

Nothing new to report on the skater front, expect the same 18 skaters as last night. If Jill chooses 7/11 Burroughs and Englund still available to check in. However Kuemper will not be available tonight for personal reasons, assuming it's family related since he just had a kid two days ago. Thus the Kings recalled Copley and have a decision to make, play Rittich on the B2B or play Copley. Curious what they'll choose, my guess is Copley because he's a fan favorite and the Kings are at home.

Lewis gets honored tonight for 1000 games, it was scheduled for January against Calgary but the fires postponed that game so tonight it is. Expect a delayed start instead of 730pm.

The Ducks have won five of the last six so they're on a little roll, probably the best hockey I've seen them play in a few years. Perfect opportunity to play spoiler and send the Kings into the break on a sour note as well as ding that NHL best 17-3-1 home record. This is the third Freeway Faceoff meeting of the season but first in LA, the Kings won both previous games in Anaheim. Should be a good game.

Prediction: Kings 4-2 with goals by Fiala since he's hot, Kempe, Jeannot and TOTM with his ninth goal but fifth into an empty net. Buster gets knob gobbled again because he made a dainty 20 foot pass from his zone, Laferriere carried it through the NZ through 3 guys and into the OZ, makes a great pass and Fiala snipes it. But that was all Byfield (that's freaking gold BTW my man). Kings go into the break on a high note and get some much needed rest.

Let's Go Kings!

I will say, in 3 years (approx), I will be worried about playing the Ducks. Their rebuild/youth movement appears that will produce more bonified players than the stockpiling of players/draft picks that Blake did from 2018-2022.

Hate to think that...

I was right. They just said...but then went into how great his passing is, glossing over that unbelievable miss as Dav said 16" away

As I say, two words: damage control. His progression has not gone anywhere near as planned.

Trouba wearing #65, curious why. He can't wear #8 because of Selanne, wonder if he picked #65 because he sucks at D like Karlsson does.

Guy that scored for the Ducks had not scored in his last 58 games

Dumoulin was solid for the Penguins, he's bounced around a bit the last few years. Good veteran pick up for the Ducks.

Kings need to respond with a goal from someone who hasn't scored in some time...

Kings going four forwards and a defenseman the last several shifts, that's on top of the 11/7 they've been playing. Kempe is playing LD.

Jill pulling out all the stops trying to get that tying goal.
