Bread!

 

[VCRW]

QB - you don’t dump and chase on a delayed penalty call. Absence of hockey sense displayed again.

 

[sonnyboy11]

Breadman early on. Let's go!

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Our power play has vastly improved since we got the Bread Man

9 to 11 to 10. I like seeing that sequence!

I love Panarin. Such a good trade by Holland to bring in an elite player. I still wish we had another season of him and Kopi. Kopi is a tough player to play with at an elite level. I feel like Panarin has meshed with him the best as a new guy since Gaborik in the Cup year.

 

[Halfwall]

That's the way to run the pp--move it quick, move it quick and move it quick. And, oh yeah, find a guy that can actually hit the net.

All that physical ability but a low hockey IQ and basically zero hockey instincts.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Never seen a goalie completely screened on a pass before. What a play by Kopi.

Further illustrating what a poor head coach DJ’s predecessor was.

Keeping Hiller behind the bench that long was a huge mistake. Let's just hope that move wasn't too late.

He's the polar opposite of Quinton Byfield. This guy is all about his hockey smarts and natural instincts. Great trade.

Exactly. The total package is less than the sum of the parts.

Forsberg has been the better goalie in 2026. If we make the playoffs (I still don't know if I want playofs for Kopi or a high pick for a reload), DJ will have a tough decision to make.

Vegas lost
GKG

Vegas lost

That means Kings our of last wild card position.

Getting some love from our friends in the East today.

 

[King Smokey]

I'm very curious. During the intermission they said today was the anniversary of the great Bob Miller story of Mario Lessard breaking his stick in 1981... But when I Google it, the videos are all labeled January 5th 1980 and there are other posts that show both dates. What the heck??

Considering Forsberg has zero playoff experience in the NHL, and Kuemper has won a Cup, it's a pretty easy decision to make as to who gets the initial start come playoff time.

That said, I agree it's a good position for the Kings to be in from a goaltending perspective.

Early time, eh?
