Thank you blue shirts

But we get lundqvist tonight

Won't be watching I'll be driving to Vegas for March madness weekend

[Schildog]

i think i only took one pic from the other night. i'll try to get it in here. i actually won't ever sit that close to the bench again. 

[Angel Oracle]

Gotta love SCF rematches, even two years later.

 

Speaking of March Madness, I put down money on Butler to beat Duke straight up (3.5 to 1 odds) in the 2010 NCAAT title game.  

Dang if I didn't come within a Gordon Hayward near miss 3 of winning.

That's bad ass. Closest I've been to the bench is like 5 rows back at staples

[Angel Oracle]

Still 2 pts back of Dallas for the WC lead, but have 2 games in hand on them

How many times have I posted on here that the Rangers are jinxed when they play the Kings?

Very frustrating, but you guys have our number!

Ugh! I remember too many of those.

I think Lundqvist is leaving the prime of his career and entering into the twilight.

The defense has been horrible around him though. Girardi and Staal are pretty much traffic cones

Kings magic number for a playoff spot is 3.

[Angel Oracle]

Top defense in the league currently, and since the 0-3 start (being outscored 12-2), the Kings have scored 192 goals in 67 games (almost 3 goals/game).

[tdawg87]

Clinching against the Bruins would be pretty gnar.

[Schildog]

tanner tanner tanner! oi oi oi!

[tdawg87]

Not feeling good about this 3rd period...

[tdawg87]

How the hell did the Kings win that game?

35 straight minutes of ass rape and they still pull out 2 points in regulation.

[Thomas]

Magic number zero. Kings clinch playoff spot.

[Schildog]

that'll do pig, that'll do

[Tank]

Clinching against the Bruins would be pretty gnar.

I agree.

p.s. Good call!

[Kevin]

GKG!

Tough one tonight in Nashville let's hope we keep rolling!!

Also a possible 1st round preview tonight

Edited March 21, 2016 by nando714

[Angel Oracle]

At least Trotz isn't coaching Nashville anymore.    Kings normally struggled against them when he was coaching there.

Look at the Caps, now that he's coaching there.  

 

Top 3 coaches in the NHL are now Trotz, Sutter, and Quenneville?

Can't wait till the 3rd to wake up

Shit the bed in the 2nd

Another tough one in Minnesota tomorrow. Back to back weeks with back to back tough roadies.

[Tank]
