Game Thread: G69 38-21-9 Kings vs Bruins 3/23/25

Right back at it, 6pm start on FDS. Just took the Harley out and got some filets and potatoes for dinner tonight, I grill like a redneck in the driveway while games are going on in the man cave. Nice day out too, nice ride.

No lineup changes expected from yesterday except Kuemper most likely to start since Rittich played yesterday. The same four scratches are available if need be. Edmonton beat Seattle last night as expected so the Kings are back in PD3, almost seems like the last game of the season will determine who finishes where.

It's a B2B for both teams with the Bruins losing 3-1 to the Sharks last night, that's pretty bad. Korpisalo started last night so expect Swayman in net. He has stellar numbers against LA but isn't having a good season overall, he missed a lot of camp with that contract impasse and doesn't seem to have gotten rolling. Boston is a mess, they'll be missing the POs this season and Pastrnak is basically their only offensive threat but a solid one at that. The Bruins always seem to have success in LA though. It'll be weird to see them without Marchand after all these years. Carlo and Frederic are gone too so Boston will have a much different look than we're used to.

This is a game the Kings should win, like I said I hope they saved some goals for today. I could completely see them getting goalied just as much as I can see them winning. Prediction: Kings 3-1 with goals by Fiala, Kuzmenko and Edmundson.

Let's Go Kings!

19 seconds in, color me shocked.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

TOTM with a UBI, Lewis in. Wonderful.

 

[Kings4OT]

Kopistar!

 

[PuckinUgly57]

That looked offside to me, I thought Boston would challenge that but guess not, tie game. Nice goal by Kopitar.

 

[Kings4OT]

Really not sure how you give Kopi a breakaway, I love him but hes way slow these days lol

 

[Kings4OT]

Nogoal #20 and #100


Nice!

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Dexter, nice pass by Dunno. I think Lewis got an assist too.

 

[Kings4OT]

. I think Lewis got an assist too.

Nope, busters

 

[PuckinUgly57]

That's on Dexter, didn't get the puck out and guys were already going on the attack. They're making this game a lot harder than it needs to be against an inferior opponent.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Nope, busters

Lewis lobbied to the stat keeper and said please give it to him even though he was on the bench, I insist. He's arrived.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Man Thomas must have pissed someone off bad to stay on the bench but Lewis gets inserted. Just do the guy a favor and move him for a pick.

FYI he was also a 2nd round pick, another misidentified prospect.

He looked promising last season, none of that this season....dunno why

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Nickson states the Bruins only have three 20 goal scorers now that Marchand was traded, then proceeds to say thw Bruins will have to add more offense.

Umm...the Kings had two until Dexter scored this game Nick. Pot meet kettle?

 

[Kings4OT]

DD8 finally

 

[PuckinUgly57]

I think Buster will get the assist for getting it back to Anderson who ripped it and Doughty tags the rebound.

Sure did although he didn't win it cleanly. The secondary assist king lives!

 

[Kings4OT]

Big save Da

Rcy

 

[PuckinUgly57]

I can't believe how the Kings are letting Boston hang around, they have lost 5 in a row and won only 3 of the last 16. They should be throttling this team, I hope it doesn't come back to bite them in the ass in this one.

 

[Kings4OT]

Wtf...lol

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Damn, they should have let the goalies go. I think Kuemper would kick Swayman's ass.
