***Buffalo Sabres vs. Los Angeles Kings GDT 1/24/24 7:30pm on BSW***

[JC6388LAKings]

Kings 1 for 2 on the PP. Better luck on the next one. And now the Kings are on the PK because of Lewis.

Remember when his dad played for us?

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Oh boy...a 4.2 magnitude quake In San Bernardino at 7:43, then a quake down in Ocotillo Wells a few minures later, and then another up in Searles Valley 300 miles north...both about 150 miles from San Bernardino and both adjacent to the San Andreas fault.

Keep those cell phones charged...

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Good kill, LA.

 

[Clif]

No Lizotte No Lewis = Laf on the PK. Surreal.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Kings are running around a bit in their own zone. They need to settle the pace of this game down.

 

[VCRW]

Gavrikov saved another goal on the PK with a perfect poke check with that magic wand of his.

 

[Statue4Deano]

What a rush and pass by QB.

 

[Sevenhole]

Great speed and pass y Byfield just too deep for kempe

Running around a bit when they pass up chance after chance to clear the puck.

 

[Halfwall]

Kings playing like the game is already over.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

End of 1st. What a period for LA; Kopi, Juice and PLD combine for 3 goals in that period. But Fiala's sloppy turnover allowed Buffalo to briefly tie it. LA is intent in getting out of that funk they've suffered for the past several games and they're on a mission right now despite Buffalo taking over in the last 6-7 minutes of the 1st.

 

[Sevenhole]

Nice to have three but since the two goal lead Kings have disappeared again. Getting out shot since that point

 

[Statue4Deano]

The size of Thompson is just so jarring. He skated next to Kopi and he made Anze look like a peewee player.

 

[Clif]

Fun game but way too loose. BUF skated right up the middle multiple times.

 

[orpheus]

I am moderately hopeful.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

6'6", 220...the guy is huge

6'6", 220...the guy is huge

Byfuglien was bigger. Even if he's an inch shorter than Tage, he weighed about 265 lbs in his playing years. That's a frame of a true heavyweight.

 

[jammer06]

Thompson while deserving of his looming presence doesn't loom so large against this teams front. Buffalo is getting their version of the game with all its chaos but thankfully the kings have benefitted the bounces so far.

I don't know how much I want the kings to control the play and slow it down vs, just go play some hockey. Even in fire wagon hockey they're better than this team and a 8-5 win could be the slump buster they need.
