Game Thread: Los Angeles Kings @ Buffalo Sabres, 12/12 4:00 PM, FS-W

There is a game in 45 minutes!

The Kings were so good last night, they got a coach fired!!

Now they go to Buffalo, where there is a long history of losing. Didn't they lose a game like... 10-1 a while back? I seem to remember that.

Anyways, Enroth, who shut out the Kings last year in Buffalo, in net today. Go Kings Go!

Working , mixing sound for a church Christmas concert.
Snuck the game into my headsets for a minute and heard the goal.

Huge non goal. Coaches challenge

Huge non goal. Coaches challenge

I think we got a gift there...DD- " I will take this guy" , McNabb "my guy is already behind us, so I wont do anything"

 

[Kings4OT]

Nice play by DD only to have TT stopped by Villmark, that was a nice play all the way around

I also think they got away with one on the Coach's Challenge, unless there is a view we didn't get Pearson was blocking the view of the guy on the RW on the replays and it looked like a clean play to me.

Will say I love the new option to contest a goal, lord knows the Kings could have used it numerous times over the years - two that jump out immediately are the game against Detroit where it went off the netting and should have been blown dead and way back in the early/mid 2000s when the Kings played Detroit hard, game is tied and either Zetterberg or Datsyuk interfered with Norstrom creating an outumbered attack entering the zone, scored and won the game with 1-2 minutes left.

 

[Kings4OT]

That damn net goal, I think we will always remember that one

3v3 OT, Kings have to be spent

 

[Kings4OT]

Damn what a boneheaded play by Kane, Kopitar so close to winning it

 

[Kings4OT]

that is fun to watch, even losing

 

[PuckinUgly57]

I hated the 4-on-4 and really hate the SO but love the 3-on-3. It has absolutely delivered what it was intended to do, there is end to end action in every game.

Pretty spectacular goal by O'Reilly. Good thing I have him in the FHL, not to mention LA gets a point still.

Did not see game, but radio guys said someone lifted their back skate. Very close.

Good lord, seeing some of those players on the Kings made me cringe - Garon? That guy freaking sucked, I remember Kings fans hanging their hats on him, he was a French Canadian Jamie Storr, you never knew what you were going to get nightly. Then Adam Hauser, I forgot that guy even played for LA.

The kicker was seeing Gonzo on the ice, he should have used that beak to peck people in the face because otherwise he was useless.
