Reimer probably still out hurt so Berns in net on back to back nights, LA in drastic need of some wins...this could be a fun one!

I think the Kings are catching them at the right time - second game of a back to back for the Leafs and it's less than 24 hours later - honestly the Kings should win this game - they need it bad - need a step up performance from everyone today

Also, read on twitter that this is the first time in 22 years that the Leafs have a Saturday-Sunday back to back at home

Gooooo Kiiiiiiiingsssss Gooooooo!

Leafs take a 1-0 lead on a Mike Santorelli goal - let's get this next one Kings!

 

[Cobiemonster]

I hope this ends up being the jinx

 

[Cobiemonster]

Kings trailing by two after one period - they need to get it together - they should be better than this - Leafs are on a second half of a back to back, they should be taking it to them later on in this game

Leafs best period this has been the second.

This is how I feel about the Kings right now:

This is how I feel about the Kings right now:

They certainly haven't been their usual tough selves recently. I thought they were pretty lucky to win in Ottawa and have been downright bad in the last two. Not what you'd expect from this team.

Cup hangover?

I dunno, they've played like crap on the road this season - 4-6-4 on the road - they're playing pretty well at home still

Kopi's not putting up very many points and that hurts - they need more offense from him and a lot of others of course

Also, Slava being out does hurt them a bit because he brings a different element offensively that Brayden McNabb doesn't bring

 

[Cobiemonster]

J-Will! Kings on the board and it's 2-1! Let's get some momentum here!

 

[davnlaguna]

If not a better effort, at least a better result. ( for my team )

 

[Cobiemonster]

Nice response by the Kings late in the second period - they need to put this game away in the third period because the Leafs are without a doubt losing it and the Kings just have to continue grinding away

 

[davnlaguna]

Leafs should be the more tired team , but that means nothing
Kings need this game if they want a decent road trip.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Whooooooooooo Gabby!!!

 

[Cobiemonster]

Kings get a point - now go get the second point!

 

[davnlaguna]

After the first period, I have to be happy with at least a point. Now hoping for two.

I can't say I'd be unhappy to just pick up a point.
