Kings likely want revenge for last week's game. Flames will need to play a lot better than they did against the Oil on Saturday night to take the two points.

Kings need to kick it into high gear on the road - they're only 4-7-5 on the road this season

No Marian Gaborik for the Kings tonight

Maybe Kopitar should take the night off as well - Rest up for the Oil tomorrow night.

Kings on the power play

Can't wait to see who the Kings trade for to help bolster this defense

They've went full moron at this point

Problem is they have negative capspace for a trade. They are technically over the cap right now (Voynov mess)
While they can go over by his cap amount, they are not saving capspace for the trade deadline.
That means they can't acquire more than Voynov's cap hit and the trial should be over the same week as the deadline so they would get his cap hit back right at the deadline

That looked like a vintage Brown dive except for the fact he was actually tripped.

That was vintage Hiller on the Richards attempt off the end boards.

Jonas Hiller baby!! Flames edge the Kings 2-1.

Good game Cobie and davnlaguna.

Except the two plays the Flames took advantage of the Kings did fine.
Except the bad line Change the Flames did fine

Both teams took advantage of the other teams brain farts.

Good god this defense needs help - the combined IQ of this six man defense is about 100 and Drew Doughty's makes up for 99% of it
