The Official 2015-16 LA Kings Thread

Lucic comes up big on the rebound.    That is what they are relying on him for.

I love the 3 on 3 OT, which should decrease the number of SO's needed.

 

12-3 since starting 0-3, and in first place in the Pacific Division, 4 pts ahead of SJ

I am dreading Dececmber as any Kings fan does.

December and February

Hurricanes entering the game as the lowest scoring team. Kings give up 4 goals. Sigh.

[Angel Oracle]

The December suckatude starts early.

[Thomas]

Ahem!

If they finish the roadie 3-2 I'll be happy

[Angel Oracle]

Yep, that was a nice win yesterday to stop the 2 game slide.     On to Tampa Bay, and hopefully a 3-2 road trip! 

[tdawg87]

I'll take the point, but what a pathetic showing by the Kings O line. 38 shots and just 1 goal. Then 1 for 3 in the SO.

Bishop is very good but come on now.

[Tank]

they sure dictated play most of the game. bummer they couldn't win but glad for the one point.

 

tough game saturday against the blackhawks. should be another good game.

[Angel Oracle]

.500 road trip isn't so bad, just frustrating to go 0-2-1 after starting off 2-0.

[Punk]

I expect to walk away with only 1 point when this team goes into a SO.

[Punk]

HAWKS SUCK!!!

[tdawg87]

So we've entered the time of the year when the Kings fall back into 8th or 9th in the conference and then have to fight their way in to a playoff spot.

 

Never seen a more predictable team in my life.

[Tank]

and tonight they put together a great comeback to beat the blackhawks in OT. woo hoo!

 

good to see gaborik get on the board twice tonight.

I passed out in the middle of the 3rd. Had top much to drink after the usc win lol

God I love a doughty bomb

[Thomas]

2 points. I feel for Backstrom.  Grinded out a hell of a game and then his team serves up the game with an atrocious turnover but it is the Canucks so woot! Moving on.

That was pretty bad ass

Listening to interviews with players so far this season the common thing said is how important winning games right now are. Winning games vs division foes throughout the year and winning the division. You didn't hear that last yr or the year before. I feel like years past they just thought it was ok the go through the motions and get hot at the end of the season. I think missing the playoffs last year did a lot of good for this team. I know they can't win all the games but for them to put a emphasis on games right now is awesome to see.

I want to start by saying I hate the Kings because I am about to compliment them a bunch.

 

Kevin of the Kevin and Bean show on KROQ is a gigantic Kings fan, and has used his celebrity (loosely defined here) to become friends with some of his sports heroes like Landon Donovan and Luc Robitaille.  They have had Luc Robitaille on several times since he joined the Kings front office and I have to say he comes across as one of the most genuine people I have ever heard.  Not only with his passion for hockey, but for the fans as well.  He is funny, charismatic and very down to earth.

 

Anyway Kevin runs a charity for abused women and children shelters, and this is a big time of year for them because they put together stockings and presents for the children at these shelters for Christmas.  Luc approached Kevin and offered to have a charity event at the Kings practice facility where the players and Luc would be there signing swag and taking pictures if people brought in an unwrapped toy or did one of the other charity donations.  I thought it was really cool.

 

I was a fan of Luc's when he played and am definitely a fan of his now.  Really great person to have as a part the team.

The Kings success and Luc's position in the team are not coincidences.

1 once took a piss never to luc at a staples center restroom. It was awesome. He was nice enough to take a pic with my fiancé and I

[Thomas]

When I was 12 around (90/91) I worked in a baseball card shop. The owner was tight with Luc and had him do signings in Buena Park. If I had been motivated enough I could of hung out at one of the signings but I didn't get around to it. Kick myself occasionally over that one.
