***LA Kings vs. Florida Panthers GDT 1/27/23 4:00pm on BSW***

These are the types of games the Kings lose just a couple seasons ago. It's nice to see them finding ways to win even when they dont play a full 60

That was some crappy zone clearing. But a win is a win.

We really needed the 2 points too. Don't let the first place fool you; the Kings need to take about 60% of the possible points, starting with tonight, to feel confident that they will make the playoffs.

I don't understand why they are always seem to be so reticent to just ice the puck and take the pressure off. At least they'd get a few seconds of rest...

3-1 for the Flames after 1 period.

The Kings sticks are so weak on the clear, lift some weights one time.

lol at the -6 goal differential

It drives the Oilers' fans absolutely loco. Rent free

So nice to wake up to a kings win! Roy in the small club of en gwg and he didnt even need Nyssa poll powers to get there. That Byfield pass was nice, game is coming to him more now. Celebrating first place for a few hours!

That wasn't an easy & they probably caused as much problems for themselves as Florida did for them. But a win is a win. I'm also glad they got that short handed goal by Arvidsson. That was such a BS call.

First place, suckas!! At least for a few hours. Go Flames!

lol at the -6 goal differential

-6 vs +20.3 avg in those 2nd thru 4th losers...

How does that even happen, lol.

Yes, they are finding ways to get 2 points. I just hope that when Vilardi, Kaliyev, and Moore return (without any subsequent injuries), it gives the team a solid boost, especially in games like this one.
