  2. A win at home? It’s a Christmas miracle! Wasn’t pretty at times (too many penalties), but they can’t all be. I’ll take the 2 points under any circumstances. Happy holidays everyone!

  3. I love that Talbot went for the EN goal at the end there. Stressful win but a fun game overall!

  4. Still not playing as well as they could be at home, but they got the win. Too many penalties, dumb moments, and overall lack of killer instinct (thank god QB is fast as fuck) to finish off games when the grade A chances present themselves.

    Back to .500, but they need to figure out how to translate road performances to LA. Cuz they dont look anywhere the same.

  5. Pierre Luc Dubois scored a goal and had 4 shots and was generating a bunch of opportunities. But I don’t like how he skates. 😤😤😤 /s

  6. It’s almost like we should give players a little while to come into their own on this team 🤔

    Kind of an ugly game on defense, sloppy penalties, but good offense got the job done

  7. PK was really good tonight, and we needed it too much.

    PLD scores, and would have had a 2nd if the puck hadn’t crossed, and played very well…but people are still fucking complaining.

    God damn QB is a monster.

  8. The boys skated another good game tonight, solid all around. I love watching this team, they skate with such joy and you can really see the team camraderie. This is by far the most fun team to watch since the Cup era. Kopitar for Hart!

    Merry Christmas Kings Fans!

  9. Once again I get to turn the automated comment back on:
    * Wow, that was a great 4 or more goals!
    * This is Byfield’s best game yet!
    * Cam is playing so well in the net!
    * Thousand Oaks Native Trevor Moore!

  10. That was a great team win. A bit sloppy at times and way too many penalties but all 4 lines were rolling and contributing. Love to see PL get on the board and have a strong game. That hustle by Byfield to ice the game with his 2nd of the night was awesome. He just works his ass off and is really becoming a great player. Double digit goals for the first time in his career. I thought Talbot made some big saves too. Great way to go into the Christmas break.

  11. Sloppy, but the Kings got the points. On the plus side, this Byfield kid is looking really good.

  12. Byfield is gaining some confidence! Trevor Moore is the man! This year for the most part has been fun to watch.

  13. That was Hanafin QB torched, a guy who will fetch a 1st at the deadline and then sign at least for 7mm AAV x 7 in the offseason.

  14. Really, this was a 5-2 win. That play where Spence Durzi’d himself was a super fluke and not the norm.

    The Kings looked great, I really liked them forcing so many turnovers and creating chances. Markstrom was actually standing on his head or we could have put in 7 or 8.

    Byfield ‘s play at the end there, galloping and leaving hanifin in the dust was simply magnificent. What a player he is, the motor on that dude to still be able to hit top speed and bury it is crazy. Even if the net was empty.. This is the way to go into Xmas break, come back to the sharts at home. Really nice for PLD to get one before the break too. I feel like he’s getting more comfortable in the system and we’ll be seeing him racking up points. His whole line tonight looked good.

  15. Total team win. The penalties were all unneeded and messy, but the PK was resolute. QB got wheels, and PLD back on the score sheet. And of course Moorezy with a wrister that would make Bedard blush. Good way to sign off for the break.
