The official 2017-18 LA Kings thread

Hat trick!!!!!

NHL Comeback POTY = Dustin Brown

[Thomas]

You guys picked a good game to go to. Envious.

Brown had himself a game to say the least.

[Kevin]

Not happy about a blown two-goal lead but a win is a win. Way to go Brown!

[Angel Oracle]

They clearly miss Muzzin and Forbort.   Gotta hope at least Muzzin is back for the start the SCP, and Forbort only misses 2-3 SCP games tops.

I want Vegas 

Your wish has been granted.

Well, they finish with the first WC spot and will face Vegas in the first round, while the ducks and sharks square off. Poor Colorado has to play Nashville.

Brown had a terrific year and deserves ample consideration for comeback player of the year. I hope Kopi gets a serious look for MVP.

Quick wins the Jennings award for the second time.

Vegas is trying hard not to have their season seat holder re sale their tickets 

we might have home ice advantage all through the series...

[nando714]

looks like he’ll be ready to go game 1. 

no word on forbort. Brickley isn’t elgible to play in the playoffs. 

[Angel Oracle]

Hoping for Muzzin by game 2, and for Forbort by game 4/5?

Both Vegas and SJ were not playing their best hockey late, while the Dorks were something like 9-2-1 to close the season.

There is a possibility of a return Kings/Dorks second round series. 

[disarcina]

It's ON -- Golden Knights - Kings -- I think we're in for a 7 game war all three periods (perhaps plus) for the entire series.

[nando714]

Just steal 1 of the next 2 in Vegas and I’m ok with that start

put the pressure on Vegas , they haven’t faced any adversity all season 

[nando714]

Muzzin questionable for game 1

Sounds like Forbort is questionable for the entire series.

[Thomas]

At least the Kings earned road ice advantage. Wasn't easy but they accomplished it.

[UndertheHalo]

What are the predictions guys ? The entire season I’ve felt that the LVGK were a team well suited for winning regular season games against teams not well prepared for their speed and depth.  I think it’s a different story in the playoffs and given the chance to adjust and matchup opposing teams will wear down Vegas.  I think we saw some of that in the 2nd half of the season once teams had them scouted and had a better idea of how to game plan for them.  Don’t get me wrong.  The Golden Knights are obviously a solid team but I think that they will have trouble with high end talent in a series.  Now if Kopitar goes to sleep.... you guys may be in trouble. 

My bet is the Kings in 6.  Wouldn’t be shocked if it takes them 7.  I do expect that the Kings will win the series though.

Made this its own thread.

[nando714]

Brown headed back to the locker room 

[nando714]

MAF and Quick playing solid through 2. 

[Thomas]

Pretty even so far. 

[Thomas]

So with the server crash and resulting data loss, the series is back to 0-0, right????

[Angel Oracle]

Except for the crappy offense so far (3 goals in 3 games)

Quick deserves a better fate.

[Angel Oracle]

3 goals in 13 periods

Stevens must go!
