***LA Kings vs. Minnesota Wild GDT 12/07/24 >>5:00pm<< on

This has to be the Kings best game so far. Minnesota played them tough though, especially the last 6 minutes or so. It sucks that Kuemper lost his shutout. Otherwise he was outstanding. If he hadn't been hurt so much this year & you just looked at his performances, he would've been in the running for Team Canada. Also I looked it up & Trevor Moore tied the record with 23 other players for most empty net goals in one game.

Finally, the LA Kings decided to post this photo on twitter.

Extremely strong effort against a team they needed to have it against. Glad they all showed up and ground out a good win. Wish that they had 12-6 instead of 11-7 but they got the win when they wanted it. Still think the driver of the game thing is hilarous. Glad to see the boys have a sense of humor. Be sure to check out JCWLA's road trip contest folks, it's tremendous fun and I don't have to do anything.

So...we are officially 1/3 of the season in:

2nd place
16-8-3 record
Relatively healthy
A decent goalie tandem
Young talent making strides

I like our chances

And Dewey coming back soon...

I forgot to say that it looks like Kempe’s still wearing the little helmet.
