  1. Quinton Fucking Byfield baby! So happy for him . Haters calling him a bust are in shambles

  2. Kopi QB Juice Fiala and DD, not by percentage but I think it’s the best PP line in the NHL

  3. It’s really refreshing seeing QB realize that he’s a big guy and will (continue to) score goals by being a net front presence. I could shed a tear 🥲

  4. hoo boy. what a fuckin stud QB is. I’m so happy he’s having this year. What a difference

  5. I just wanna say how impressed I am about how good Drew and Kopi still are. It’s kind of crazy

  6. **~~Game Thread~~** **Byfield Hat Trick Thread: Los Angeles Kings (15-4-3) at Montreal Canadiens (11-11-3) – 07 Dec 2023 – 4:00PM PST**

  7. What a joke of a franchise, lucky ass team playing boring hockey. Have fun getting knocked out in the first round.

  8. Sure is nice to see a team that can take a lead and hold it, even build on it.

    I can’t remember the Kings ever being this consistently solid.
