[Rog or Reg?]

Yay, a normal start time! Hockey and beer, can't get better than that!
For all the incessant moaning and griping I've been doing about the bizarre start times this year, it never really occurred to me how much it may affect the players.
In baseball, start times are all over the map, but it's baseball, not hockey.
There are three basic time slots for NFL games. but the closest games are scheduled are 4 days apart.
Got to hand it the boys for playing well in all these different time zones and starting times. Professionals or not, it can't be easy.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Welcome back, Lewis. Congrats to you for finally appearing in your 1000th career NHL game. Now GKG!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

And Hedman scores for TB 1 min, 10 seconds into the game. 1-0 TB.

 

[Nyssa42]

Lol... Not my fault...I did NOT make the question "what time will the shutout be broken?"

 

[VCRW]

That’s a nasty break off Mikey’s stick. Hope the guys get it back right away.

 

[ICE24]

I have to admit, that was a great tip by Mikey.

 

[Sevenhole]

Regardless of the early lightning goal congrats to Lewis for 1000 games. Let’s keep the league leading home record going GKG

 

[ICE24]

Tampa Bay forechecks and the Kings usually don't play well against those types of teams.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Clarke is going to the box for shooting the puck over the glass in the D-zone. Not good and TB's PP is very dangerous.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Solid kill by LA. Gavy sacrificing his body to block a pass in order to prevent a TB scoring chance was the real highlight on that PK. 0 for 1 for TB's PP.

 

[Clif]

Amazing kill. Thought that’d be automatic goal 2.

 

[Clif]

Tampa Bay forechecks and the Kings usually don't play well against those types of teams.

Kings are behind. This is your wheelhouse.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

And Anderson ties it after a faceoff win by Danault! 1-1. That was a fast one.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Whoa, two bad turnovers by LA and Kuemper was ready for those shots.
