Took a blade to the lower leg. They are being tight lipped. Because of course they are. But he's either "out indefinitely" or "multiple weeks".  I'll be happy if he's back and productive by New Years.

Crap!

6-4 over columbus! brown and kopi are playing amazingly well, especially brown.

on to toronto and a date with matthews monday night. should be a good test.

If Kopi and Brown can play like this the whole season that’d be great. Leading the league in +/- right now 

 

Just call it turn back the clock time.

[Thomas]

Winning in Toronto wasn't going to be easy. Weird game but the Kings looked okay. Moving on.

Season over.

[Angel Oracle]

Two hot early season teams, would figure that the home team prevails.   Latest ever into the season for the Kings to suffer their first regulation loss

Anyone see Kempe’s goal in the SO

filthy !!

My sons and I were listening to the shootout at the rink on my phone after their practices were over and before his attempt I said that Kempe had really good hands. But I didn't realize until later after watching the replay that they were THAT good!

 

[Angel Oracle]

Talk about wicked stick handling and having the right timing!    Nice win the night after their first regulation loss!

[Thomas]

Funny moment during the game last night when Kopitar and Doughty try to get Brown to cover Karlsson and Brown doesn't want any part of that. As much as it pains me the NHL really needs to push Karlsson more as a face of the league.

That stick work by Kempe in OT was redonkulous. I really like this kid.

also worth noting he scored the Kings two goals in regulation.

Yep, it’s weird that ever since the Subban/Weber trade, they aren't the same.   Both great blue liners

They did pepper Quickie but good though.   Might have been one of his better shutout performances.

[nando714]

I’m speechless 

unbelievable 

never seen a ending like that before lol

[Thomas]

Me: "There's a one in a million chance that they can score with 9/10ths" (Being slightly hyperbolic for anti-jinx purpose"
Radio: (Like a second later). "Faceoff won, Toffoli shoots scores!!!!!"
Me:  "..."
Wife:  "There's your one in million"
Me: shrug

in case you missed it:

Kings lose but boy did they get their chances and then some. It happens. Great road trip regardless. Moving on.

[Tank]

Looking pretty good against the Leafs tonight. Matthews ended the shutout on a questionably called penalty shot. Lots of guys getting into the scoring tonight.

[Thomas]

The Kings got a bit sloppy up 5-0. But tightened down after the Leafs got it to within two.

[tdawg87]

Don't know what it is about Nashville. At least they got a point.

Agree. 

[Angel Oracle]

Rallying from 3-0 down to start the 3rd period was great.   Losing in OT on a breakaway with 20 sec to go sucked. 

[nando714]

Terrible call in McDermid. 

Kopi cuts it in half.
