***LA Kings vs. New Jersey Devils GDT 1/1/25 >>3:00pm<< on FanDuel & NHL Network***

[Halfwall]

Now they will have to kill a penalty.

 

[Clif]

Weird challenge. If it’s called back it shouldn’t be.

EDIT: seeing the stick tie up late makes it a bit better. But, very close and the NHL has gotten that call wrong pretty badly a couple times this year.

 

[Sevenhole]

Nice challenge wasn’t sure about it when they called it

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Challenge won. No goal for NJ for now.

 

[Halfwall]

Fox was right.

 

[Guinevere]

Woo hoo! No goal baby!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Now they will have to kill a penalty.

LA won the challenge, so not only are they not charged a timeout, they're not assessed a penalty for delay of game.

 

[Guinevere]

Gonna count.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Hey great timing for a change ...walked in, turned he TV on, Lee scores... and now goaltender interference ...Yay!

Couldn't cancel today ...we had a group event up on Mount Lukens ...it's a heck of a hike but the B2 Stealth Bomber circles up there for a couple hours right above the microwave towers just a few hundred feet above our heads, before he buzzes the Rose Bowl.
It's pretty awesome!

Can we hope that the Kings Coach will win ALL the challenges for 2025?

 

[Halfwall]

Good lobby by Darcy, after the goal was scored I saw him point to his stick while talking to the ref.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

And another LA penalty as Danault goes to the box for hooking. Come on, LA, you need to stay out of the box. Kill this penalty.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Solid kill by LA. Both teams now 0 for 2 on the PP.

 

[Halfwall]

Kings are running around.

 

[orpheus]

So are the Devils game so boring this year or only when they play the Kings?

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Whoa, many chances by the Devils and Kuemper in his BSK mode.

 

[Guinevere]

Don’t get into a run and gun game with this team boys!!

 

[Clif]

When Spence is good he’s picking the right position and breaking up passes just like that. He’s a smart player. Rooting for him to find consistency.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

2nd period ends. Lee scores his first career NHL goal and the Kings continue to hold off the Devils despite NJ outshooting LA. 20 more minutes left and LA mustn't sit on their lead; insurance goals are a big priority for them in the coming 3rd period.

 

[Liz4LA]

Kings hung in there as the Devils were pushing at the second half of the period.
