At least they made it worth the drive for 2 nights in a row. The Kopi ceremony was very nice. And one of the people in my group got to see a penalty shot, huge Kings comeback effort, OT, AND a 9 round shootout....all in her first-ever hockey game to attend!
 
I'm glad they made the comeback & glad they got a point. But they needed 2 points. They should've been ready from the beginning.

He does, but the real problem is that the Kings have only a few talented, high IQ players that can score on the roster: the triple A line, Laffy, TO, Army, Laughton and Clarke. And Army and Laughton are debateable. The rest are just average 3-4 line grinders and D. Add in an aging Kuemper, and it’s a lineup problem as much as a coaching problem.

I see the D as the biggest problem. DD and Mikey are really only a good bottom pair on a contender. Ed and Clarke are an OK middle pair. The killer is that we have no top pair. The forward group should be more than good enough to make the playoffs with a better more mobile D.

You forgot that one of the As in the triple A line is retiring at the end of the season...

One thing is for sure - this team does indeed miss Fiala.
