The more players the Kings trade away, the better they will get, haha.

 

[Nyssa42]

Is this a hidden camera show??? Lol

 

[Kurisu]

All those shorty chances and they can't put one in with no keeper.

 

[hokiecat]

Congrats to DJ for his first Kings win.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Im not a big stat guy but if I had to guess I think the Kings have missed more empty nets than any team in the history of the sport

 

[empire]

Great 2 points for our KINGS.

 

[waynet]

New strategy for teams playing kings, no need for goalie.

 

[orpheus]

[Halfwall]

I'm not happy. DJ reverted back to Hiller's strategy of just playing his "top" guys.

 

[King of Pentacle5]

Or just to say By, By, Byfield?

 

[Nyssa42]

Can we please continue the "No Byfield Experience"? Not once tonight did I wish he was out there

 

[DarkLeftHand]

Great to see them put 5 on the board, the hustle and energy was there in spades.. but did I really just watch these guys fail to score on an empty net for 8+ minutes?

 

[Bollocks]

That was as pretty of the goal as you'll ever see. And this is the best the Kngs have played in a long long time...

...hmmm....

... late season coaching change...
...team out of playoff position ...
...bring up some new blood ...
...get tough and mean.

Coaching change came about 6-7 games too late, though.

I always was of the opinion that the only way this team wakes up is through a coaching change, that would do more than any kind of on-ice personnel change...

 

[MiketheKing]

Seriously, are we alergic to empty netters? That was some lame execution for an extended period.

 

[K-Man #32]

May this be the turn around we need

6-7 months too late (fixed it)

 

[Bollocks]

6-7 months too late (fixed it)

We all knew that wasn't realistic. However, a coaching change before the Olympic break after losing to Kraken and B-team Vegas was an absolute no-brainer...

 

[AngelEyes]

I don't know if this was discussed earlier in the thread, but the difference in Moore's game was black-and-white. Given the hustle he showed last night, he must have despised Hiller's coaching.

 

[emsomaso]

I'm not happy. DJ reverted back to Hiller's strategy of just playing his "top" guys.

During the broadcast they made a big thing about how much DJ trusted Helenius during the second period. He played a Hiller-like measly 07:51, so I don’t know where they got that from…

 

[jammer06]

For those counting game 1

Kings goals 5
D points combined 7

Lots of people still in it for question 1, not so much for question 2
