***LA Kings @ St. Louis Blues GDT 10/21/25 5:00pm on FanDuel***

[hokiecat]

Kings are undefeated with Corey Perry in the lineup.

 

[orpheus]

I am actually surprised. Haha.

 

[VCRW]

This win feels good. Should help lots going into Dallas.

 

[Liz4LA]

Now, can you stop putting Kempe at the point on the power play. The guy is being wasted there. Look at that shot.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Now this is what you call a good night!

Kings win...and I got point on the poll question...missed it by 35 seconds!

Good night Kings peeps!

 

[symbology]

A win is a win. Good start to the trip.

Holland about to extend him instead of Kempe

He is the modern day Federov.

 

[ICE24]

Great road victory. I would like to see the Kings win at least one game in regulation. 2 points is two points.

He's there for defense. Otherwise they need to remove a forward off the PP.

 

[VCRW]

Laf was 1 for 7 tonight in faceoffs. He is 3 for 19 in the past 2 games. He is therefore not getting the puck to the better offensive weapons on his line and that hurts the team. Doesn't make sense to keep trying to put this square peg in that round hole. Laffy is a winger, Coach... a winger.

Ready - Aim - Fire....JUICE

I think it’s by design, as I mentioned in a previous thread that the PowerPlay needs to create confusion by having the umbrella forwards cycle around the perimeter during play, so the defense loses track of who they need to focus on. You’ve seen the penalty killers zero in on him for the last season and a half when he’s stationary at the dot. We know he can score from there, but the trick is to confuse the defense into leaving him open for that one timer.

 

[DarkLeftHand]

Kings win playing the most boring style of hockey in the league.

I can’t believe how boring these games have been. Hiller, Holland and Luc have sucked the life out of this beautiful game.

I watch women’s Australian football league for excitement. The Kings, because I feel obligated..

Point is he is the best shooter on the team. Putting your best shooter at the point is the concern.

I think even Jim Fox said something to that effect last year. It is possible that I'm mistaken but I'd bet $3 that one of the Kings talking heads said putting Kempe at the point minimized his goal scoring.

pin in the balloon of hope that something unexpected could workout for the LAKs

 

[Guinevere]

You can thank Guiny for the Kings win. Woo hoo! I never bet the Kings but this time I decided to give them good vibes. The F…n Leafs choked on my parlay. Damn, I was soooo close!

I'm not disagreeing just pointing out the reason why he's there.

 

[waynet]

Good road win, but plllllzzzz, no more Doughty on 3x3. He turns 3x3 into PK.
