This is crazy. Kopi looks like Kopi for the first time all season.

Except he keeps falling down randomly, lol

Except he keeps falling down randomly, lol

yeah he’s not nearly as graceful a skater as his daughter.

 

[ICE24]

Boy this Avs team can really just flip a switch. Great squad

I believe they will win the cup

 

[Halfwall]

Teams always turn it on after a coach firing.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Awesome to see Greene behind the bench.

 

[Nyssa42]

I had just said, "Wardo is on fire tonight!" And then he laid that HUGE hit!!! Sweet!!!

 

[ChiKingFan]

Awesome to see Greene behind the bench.

Lubo trade still really paying off.

 

[Nyssa42]

Hits are 23-6 in favor of the Kings. Keep it up, boys!

Got me choked up.

These kids did not play under Hiller. They just want to make their mark in the NHL. The veterans are playing as usual, just trying to hang on

 

[Clif]

I like Foegele pushing through that Av to skate up the boards. Like Wylie Coyote running off a cliff in mid air

 

[jammer06]

If they get out of this period tied hang the mission accomplished banner and plan the parade

 

[Nyssa42]

That little Brindley dude is pretty good. Never heard of him before

 

[Kurisu]

These kids are hanging in there. I think half this organization's problem in the last decade was not giving prospects opportunity.

 

[Halfwall]

All 3 rooks on track for 12+ minutes--unlike Hiller's 1,2 or 3 minutes.

 

[ICE24]

If you limit the first line shifts, the Kings have a chance.

 

[King of Pentacle5]

Play the kids, get results.

 

[Clif]

The Kings have been too soft all year for a team, much less the Avs, to be actually pissed at them. Trying not to gush too much. But they’re actually competing.

Panarin isn’t much help in a physical game like this. Nor is the elderly Kopitar.

This game made me think of the great start that Thomas had a few years ago. After 2-3 games folks on here were already penciling him in for a top 9 role.
