Amazing start to this game. Kings running around like headless chickens and the Avs just dismantling them.

 

[Halfwall]

Kopitar's line again.

 

[symbology]

So, this new coach was the answer?????

Toe Blake would not coach this current team to victory.

I know we're only 10 minutes in, but DJ Smith just told Matt Greene that he's going out for a pack of smokes and "will be back in a little bit".

 

[Halfwall]

I wonder what the Ave's would give up for Perry. If they had a PP you could just mail them the cup.

The Avs are just gonna be cats playing with their prey tonight.

Panarin sure is good at creating openings and passing, however, it means nothing if who you pass it to doesn't know what to do with the puck.

Well, in their defense it is rare they they get a pass on their stick. I am sure they were shocked and did not know how to react.

 

[Nyssa42]

This game feels like the old days at the Forum when you knew we weren't going to win, so you just cheered loud and got excited when we made a play that could be considered vaguely good

I was hoping for a bit of a Cinderella story in tonight’s game. Good reminder that fairy tales aren’t real.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Starting to get a bad feeling about this one, guys.

 

[ICE24]

I like the speed of the game. We all knew the Kings had absolutely no chance of winning. I say play the kids.

 

[ICE24]

Starting to get a bad feeling about this one, guys.

you're starting?

That is 3 times! You know what that means.

Toe Blake would not coach this current team to victory.

Exactly. Hate on Hiller all you want, he had a winning record and he could only work with the hodge podge of a team he had. I can’t blame the new guy either. There is literally no identity to this team other than “I hope we make the playoffs.” No one seriously believes they would get passed EDM or COL in the first round.

Just rebuilding from the ground up already. It’s been time for the last 10 years. Bandaids here and there won’t help. We need a serious rebuild plan and direction.

 

[Halfwall]

I'm happy--the Kings will be sellers at the deadline. The bad news is do that have anyone healthy enough to trade?
