  1. Going to the game hope a Bolts win today haven’t had much luck winning at LA past few times

  2. this’ll be tough to win, kings didn’t play yesterday, bolts did, really need to out-talent/out-PDO them…i’d be happy with 1 pt here

  3. Hoping we get back to playing with intensity all three periods and continue the win streak. Let’s go, Bolts!  ⚡⚡

  4. A back to back on new years eve/new years is such a shitty thing to do. These schedule markers are assholes.

  8. This is day 3 on the west coast. Traditionally the day they feel the time zone change and have trouble. However, the Bolts usually kick ass in the Staples Center.

  10. LA can’t score but they defend super well. We cannot give them the chances we gave the Ducks yesterday or we’ll definitely lose.

  11. It’s always rough to be on the second half of a back-to-back playing a rested team, but here’s hoping we can pick up at least one point today.
