***LA Kings vs. Vegas Golden Knights GDT 2/24/26 7:30pm on FanDuel***

That’s how you run a freaking power-play. Nice work along the boards.

Well, they need to watch more of what Winnipeg showed them earlier this season when they were on the PP. If they can take time to do that, then their PP will improve.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Since I'm not modest, I'll go ahead and take 100% credit for that goal!
Obviously QB read my post today about shooting more often which directly led to TO's tip in.
You're welcome!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

And now a penalty against QB for a hook. LA now on the PK.

 

[Clif]

Man that Kopi hit on Eichel, then Mikey pressuring Hertl. Heart eyes.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

That's one solid PK, LA. Good job preventing Vegas from taking any shots on goal; Vegas 0 for 1 on the PP.

 

[HiFi]

Unable to watch. Just checked the score; Another PP goal? It’s the apocalypse (or the motherf@&$ing Catalina Wine Mixer).

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Another LA penalty. A tripping call against QB; that's twice he committed a penalty in this game, and in this opening period.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

I did NOT advise QB to take two penalties in the first period. That's on him

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Another successful LA PK as Vegas now 0 for 2 on the PP.

And whoa, what a save by Kuemper.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

End of 1st period. Both teams committed two penalties, but LA came out on top with a goal on their second PP after this period. Here's to the next 40 minutes of hockey that LA had better keep playing solidly and not let Vegas come back and gain their momentum.

And I will start the new tradition of: BEAT VEGAS! (Hey, Guppies fans, you might as well chant this when playing against Vegas and drop the endlessly tired and lame "BEAT LA" chant. I know you SJers want to continue your dislike of LA but Vegas is legitimately more of a threat to you in the Pacific Division, so you really should focus on your hatred of Vegas more than LA)

 

[Rog or Reg?]

One thing for sure: Darcy had a hell of a first period! I count three insane saves.

 

[Halfwall]

Expect Vegas to come roaring out in the second. Once again Kopitar's line is invisible.

 

[Liz4LA]

Not a bad start. Kings have been good clearing the front of Kuemper. Kuemper has had timely saves.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Expect Vegas to come roaring out in the second. Once again Kopitar's line is invisible.

They've had a rough few weeks

 

[Guinevere]

Nice message to Dr. Naysay.

I only can watch the VGK channel. What was said?

 

[sonnyboy11]

Grr another missed GDT question. Ah well.

 

[Guinevere]

Good first. A pp goal, pk doing their thing, and Darcy making the save when they don’t. Now my man Byfield needs to stay out of the box.

 

[Guinevere]

C’mon Kings get some ozone time

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Vegas is really making a push in this period. You better not let up, Kings.

 

[Halfwall]

Not going well at all.
