Congratulations to the following posters who correctly guessed the first road goal for the kings would be scored by Kempe. Nobody guessed 10 points combined by the D, [MENTION=3543]TooCool[/MENTION] was closest with 7:

That was a crazy game. Still looks like early season structure but great to get points. Lets hope they didnt scre all their goals in that one.

Good thoughts...1) Vilardi is finally showing why he was drafted 11th overall. Scoring, playing good D, winning board battles. Me likey 2) Dmen scoring. Dewy and Roy lighting the lamp was nice to see after the team failed to do that last year. 3) Power play finally showing some life {snif}

Bad thoughts...1) Goaltending woes. Three games in and not a single good performance. 2) Penalty kill still looks weak. I'm afraid what the Caps will do to the Kings at the end of this road trip. 3) 2nd line pretty quiet, could really use last years' Phil Danault to show up

Quick has been pretty good, that first game it would have been a blowout if he wasn't in net. The defense has not been good in 3 games.

Yeah and it's not really necessary to pay someone a lot to take him. If he doesn't significantly improve, you re-sign Quick (for less) and let Petersen continue to be the backup one more season. Then you trade at 50% retained or, if there are no takers, you buy out his last year.

Hopefully, he regains some confidence and is a decent backup.

Quick is playing good but he is 37 years old, How much more does he have in the tank to play at the level needed to win? If Quick's ability diminish which it will and hopefully slowly to where the Kings can bring in a starting Goalie. But if it diminishes quickly the Kings are in big trouble because Peterson is a bust, He isn't starting material, he isn't even backup material.
