GDT ***LA Kings @ Utah Hockey Club GDT 4/3/25 6:00pm on FanDuel***

[JC6388LAKings]

Hope the Kings win this one for the sweep tonight. The Delta Center is clearly configured for basketball, just like the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, so hockey games aren't going to be a good experience for fans inside the arena in SLC. At least the Biles finally have their own arena configured completely for hockey in the UBS Arena, so good for them.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Uh oh, the Whatevers score first. 1-0 Utah.

Wait, the Kings are challenging for offsides.

 

[Nyssa42]

lol....I didn't expect jammer's job to start quite so early tonight! Hopefully it's offside

 

[Liz4LA]

No goal!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Good, the call is overturned. No goal. But come on, LA. Shake off that sloppy start.

 

[Sevenhole]

Goal no Goal before I could pour my first drink

 

[Halfwall]

Kings aren't skating, not a good sign.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

I changed my mind again. I love video review of offsides!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Big save by Kuemper. But LA is finding themselves in the D-zone more often this period. You better gain your legs, LA, 'cause you're not in Denver and so you don't have the excuse of altitude issues this time.

 

[Clif]

Kings scrambling and Utah came ready to play. Seems to have surprised the Kings. Mallot needs to fight.

 

[Sevenhole]

Goal no Goal before I could pour my first drink

I already need another one terrible start

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Kings spectating again. Start moving your feet damn it!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Nice block by Lewie to break up the Utah momentum.

 

[hornman]

Not a great start here. Jeez.

 

[Halfwall]

Kings spectating again. Start moving your feet damn it!

It looks like the HC don't have happy feet either.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Well, the Kings are slowly gaining their feet back. As for Utah, I'll always refer to them as the Whatevers since they don't have an actual catchy name yet for now.

 

[Clif]

Helenius stripping the puck was cool.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Utah being hyper-aggressive right now, which makes sense given their current position. Kings need to take advantage of that at some point.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Come on, QB. You've got to shoot that one when you're in the O-zone with a decent scoring chance.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Kuemper is the only effective player for the Kings this period. The rest seem to be playing rather groggily. Wake up, LA, you need to realize you're not facing the Avs tonight.
