Damn it, there goes Rittich's shutout bid...

 

[Liz4LA]

BOOO! Guppies score.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Trevor Lewis is such a brilliant pick up. I wouldn’t mind it at all if he comes back next season.

 

[VegasHockey]

Lame. Was hoping Rittich could snag the SO.

Congrats Sharks on your 1 goal - you still lost

Not me. Talbot went full beserk with wins everytime the boys would spoil his shutout.

Big Save Dave

 

[Nyssa42]

maybe that's the Kings' "hazing" for new goalies. Play amazing and then lose the shutout with 1 minute left in the game

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Game over. Other than that garbage time PP goal by the Guppies, the Kings otherwise dominated this game with their balanced scoring and great defensive play. Hey, Guppies fans, you have no right to chant "Beat LA" when you're not only behind the game by more than 2 goals but your team also being dead last in the division. Know your place, shut up, and suck it. Instead, you should be chanting "Beat Vegas" rather than "Beat LA". Seriously, it's old and reeks of jealousy/inferiority complex syndrome to us LA sports fans.

That was a good momentum builder going into the back-to-back. The balanced scoring on this team is the envy of the league.

 

[Liz4LA]

Kings played like the team that started this year. They're beating the teams that they should. D was great tonight. Moverare has really fit withe the group. Keep it up, boys.

pretty glad that dude scored. now I have a lot less typing to do!!

 

[Goalie]

Rittich was very solid, glad to have him as a just in case and potentially in over Copley if he keeps showing up. Big test will be tomorrow against the kraken. Expecting the 2 points and a solid game. Important home stretch leading up to the big showdown with vegas, anything less than 5 points will be disappointing.

Lmao

 

[Rogie-Vachon]

Thank You Dewy:

Passed the puck to a Shark on the Kings pp, luckily, Shark hit the post...but later...lost the puck, fell, tripped a Shark.
pp goal for SJ.

Therefore, Drew hates Rittich.

 

[VCRW]

Kings are second only to the Bruins in points percentage. They are 7 points out of best in the league with 5 games in hand on Vegas. The Kings have the fewest regulation losses in the West. And all this is without Arvy and lately without Gavrikov. So pleased and proud of the way this team has evolved. GKG!!!

Lol, yeah, nobody picked a bottom pairing defenseman for the first goal.

 

[Kurisu]

Trevor Lewis is such a brilliant pick up. I wouldn’t mind it at all if he comes back next season.

I love Lewie. One of my all time favorite Kings. Just a pure grinder with the best work ethic ever. All the little things, then he pulls out that crazy deke in the SO the other night. His play on that Stoll goal in 2012 against the Nucks is one of the best Kings moments ever.
