***Playoffs Rd 1 GAME 2 GDT LA Kings @ Edmonton Oilers 4/24/22 7:00pm on TBS, max, & BSW***

It worked again!!!!

When the Kings are in OT in the playoffs...if I have the ability to do so...I put on the vinyl limited edition of Radiohead's OK Computer and play the song "Lucky" and mute the TV.

So far, so good.

The Kings have won every time.

As soon as I pulled the record out of the sleeve tonight, I started smiling. I knew we'd win.

This one was extra sweet.

I feel our luck could change.

Ok Byfield just admitted he was just trying to tip the clear from Anderson. Huge smile on his face. Feel great for the young man.

Kings deserved some puck luck. And being in the right place at the right time is how you win games in the playoffs.

Gonna be a positive plane ride back to El Segundo. Better than down by 2.

 

[HiFi]

Intentional or not:

 

[Rog or Reg?]

You - I ilke you! Please keep that up. In fairness I probably would play Let Down, but you have the better idea.

I haven't stopped smiling.

And if you want to smile too...

...go to ESPN NHL and click on the "Kopitar's OT Winner..." video and pause at :23...

...it's A CLOSE-UP SHOT OF COREY PERRY'S BUTT-UGLY FACE TWO SECONDS AFTER THE GAME WINNER!

Bwahahhahhaah

 

[Sevenhole]

Different game plan this year win game two instead of game one, let’s go Kings. Expect some volume at the Crypt

I'm having a hard time thinking about the Kings without Kopitar after a game like this one.

It’s gonna suck. But we’ve got Byfield shaping up to step right in when it happens.

To make it even sweeter...this was the Radiohead episode of South Park

 

[FoxDie]

And that one annoying Oilers fan who kept chanting "TAL-BOT!" incessantly throughout the game distressingly near the Kings broadcast booth. Well, that Kopi OT goal should shut him up tonight now. Does that guy have some sort of stalker crush on him (Talbot) or something?

TALBERT!

 

[symbology]

LOL Grundy played 25 seconds.

Yep, I asked about him during the 2nd, I think. I only recalled seeing him out there for a single shift.

 

[Guinevere]

C’mon Kings! Get the game winning goal please oh please

Kopi heard me!

 

[SirJW]

 

[aragorn]

Man, I'm exhausted.

 

[Nyssa42]

Well, I had to go play my own game right as the OT was starting.... My team won 5-0!!! We NEVER win... And then we come back to the locker room to a Kings win!! Great night!

Looks like I'll be posting the photo of the raccoon in every GDT....

 

[Statue4Deano]

Kings with 9 5-on-5 goals in 2 games. I’m still in shock.

 

[DarkLeftHand]

Now THAT is what I expect from our two highest paid players.

 

[MiketheKing]

Mikey Anderson saved the day with his goal line sprawl. Way to give up the body kid!

 

[VCRW]

Nice to see the Kings get some puck luck on the carom to Kopi for the OT winner. Pretty obvious QB was just trying tip the puck into the o-zone but the result was perfect. Hope that helps Q’s confidence in the rest of the games. Kings need his size and skill to get out of Round 1.

 

[kIngsX]

What does putting Q back on Kopi’s line, and getting huge gains from that, say about the King’s position on PLD now? Is this an acceptance of the fact they didn’t get the player they bargained for? They’ve given him every chance to succeed, and he still hasn’t stepped up. It was his playoff performance last year vs VGK that sealed his fate with the Jets. Is this just more of the same from our future #1 center?

 

[hokiecat]

Kopi really turned back the clock last night. The Kings 2 legends really delivered.
