LA Kings Thread '14-'15

[Angel Oracle]

"I still despise the Habs, going on 22 years later!"

 

Hasn't the TWO CUPS dispelled the McSorely stick curse?

It mostly has, but grudges don't totally go away.

Although karma is a b word, since a Canadien team hasn't won a Cup since 1993.

 

Meantime, goalie showdown tonight between Quick and Price!

They finally won in a shootout. Is this real life?

[Tank]

the kings scored three goals in the shootout tonight, which is more than they've scored all season long in all previous shootouts.

 

that's literally craptastic.

[Punk]

I thought they were going to lose it when Pacioretty scored, but Kopi came through.

[Angel Oracle]

That did NOT suck to see in person!

Price didn't play, probably since it would have been 3 games in 4 days.
Tokarski was pretty decent.

Weird game, Kings with constant pressure in the 1st period, and then it was like they took their foot off the pedal.
To salvage that game in the last minute of regulation, was clutch. Thank you Habs for that brain fart of a high stick late in the 3rd period.
To win the shoutout with THREE goals in 4 shots = pure gold and the 2nd MUCH needed point.

Huge game for Gabby!
Big shootout for Gabby, Carter, and Kopi!

There must have been at least 1,000 Habs fans there, lots of red unis.

Oh, and 1993 karma is a B_TCH!!!!!!!

All I know is that they actually won in a shoot out

[Tank]

AO, buddy, you're '93 angst should be directed at the proper person and place - marty mcsorley, and maybe jacques demer.

 

the habs took advantage and won three games in OT. if mcstick doesn't screw up, we win game 2 and come back to LA up 2-0 with a darn good chance to win the whole thing.

 

that stupid effing stick . . .

[Schildog]

i remember seeing something on tv. melrose asked luc if mcsorley's stick was illegal. all luc did was laugh.

[Angel Oracle]

I know it was just Demers waiting until the right time to have the stick checked, the last minute of regulation and trailing by a goal. 

Effing Eric Desjardins!

 

But, if ever there was a time to believe in karma......NO CUPS since 1993 for the Habs!   The most storied NHL franchise!

Big game tonight vs the Pens.

I'll be there. 2 pts needed. Calgary keeps winning but Vancouver has been slippin.

[Punk]

[Angel Oracle]

Congrats Luuuuuuuuc!

[nando714]

Tough OT loss vs the Pens.

kings gotta string together 3 or 4 here. I'm not having a good feeling here

[Tank]

we've played the pens twice this year and still haven't scored a goal against them.

 

glad we're done with them.

[Angel Oracle]

Marc Andre-Fleury is as sick as a disease.   He and Price both

[Tank]

it's all or nothing with fleury. pens fans wanted to hang him from the highest tree a couple of years ago for letting in so many goals during their playoff losses.

 

if he continues to play this well through the playoffs, the pens can make a very serious cup run.

3 in the first. I'll take it

[Thomas]

The playoff percentage roller coaster continues!

Beat Colorado 5-2, playoff odds up 11.6 to 67.9%

mike richards is in LA skating at the toyota center. he hasn't been called up, but kings insider jon rosen reports they're evaluating his conditioning.

 

he started off in manchester scoring pretty well, something like 11 points in his first 7 or 8 games, but he's tailed off to just 2 points in his last 7.

[Thomas]

Monumentally large game tonight.

Go Kings! 

[Schildog]

Tonight is huge.

Ducks tanking against the flames last night was lame.

[Thomas]

Huge huge huge win!

[Tank]

That was impressive. They sure looked solid.

Back in a playoff spot, too.

[Angel Oracle]

Kings Mode in full swing

One point back of 2nd place Nucks in the division
