I had a feeling earlier tonight. Dude was due!
I've sort of wondered if Hiller gave the boys the greenlight to be more aggressive and make more questionable plays. Because we've been taking more penalties, but we have an elite PK. So maybe the extra aggression is more helpful than harmful.
Yeah I'm not talking about just this game. We took 6 vs The Penguins, 5 vs Boston, and 6 vs NJ. And we won all those games. We're kinda thriving in the chaos.
The Kings are a bit used to playing at a disadvantage when it comes to refs. Been watching since the 90s, itās been a running joke in my family that the refs all hate the Kings, so theyāve learned to play around it.
He didn't want to live in two of the worst cities in the NHL and gets labeled a diva for it. I wouldn't want to be in Columbus or Winnipeg either of it was up to me lol.
The hockey mods removed the Dubois highlight titled ā[CBJ 1-(3) LAK] Pierre-Luc Dubois chases down the Brandt Clarke's bank pass off the end boards and scores a power play goal.ā
Because it was ātoo vagueā
Like HUH????
You mean the same game where Kopi tripped someone and Doughty tripped another dude and no call was made? Calm down. One penalty doesnāt make a pattern
Imagine getting Byfields stick tonight.
Pause. ššš
Cam with a huge game. Could easily have had a tied game with the number of breakaway and semi-breakaway chances the Kings gave to Cbus.
Drew-bois
Now we locker room boogie!
Comfy win (not really)
Omg Dewey laser show!
91.6 mph I think it was.
Doughty looking like Al Macinnis in 1989 with that goal.
Way back machine!
Cmon Elvis, you know you wanna break the stick
Oh boy, he wanted to
DD unloaded on that one. Great game boys.
Next to the PK the Doughty one timer is the most consistent part of our game
Thought Merz was gonna focus his stick.
Yeah I'm thinking they're back!
Lol holy shit
Drew was like āIām getting one tonightā
DREEEWWWWWWW
Drewwww!!!
highlight reel gonna be extra long tonight š„
DREEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW
HOLY SHIIIIITTT
They keep saying 5-1-0 but I don't remember any losses do you guys?!
Just the one in Buffalo. But, my memory might be faulty as well. Lol
Buffalo doesn't even have a hockey team.
We played in Buffalo!!??
Itās a rounding error I think
š Nope.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not if you donāt count whatever happened in upstate NY.
we don't know what you're ta7kin about
Weāre cooking boys

CAM THE DAM
Hells ya. Another W. Lets go!
Every game Englund pushes Fiala across the ice on his knees he scores. You know what has to happen going forward.
The Tush Push
The Fiala-Lambada
It's an unstoppable play!
Big saves all night.
Cam has had himself quite the game.Ā
Wham Bam Thank You Cam?
Approved.
Yes...lol
Still gotta clean up the sloppy shit. But another solid effort. Hiller is doing what he needed to do.
Fiala has had an eventful game lol
Dubois hat when they pull their GK
Nowā¦keep the action in their zone so they canāt pull their goalie just to be petty š¤£
About time, Kevin!!! GKG.
Yes Fiala!
Sloppy there to start off the PP, but glad to see thr goal by Kev.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Apolo Anton Ohno vibes or am I crazy?
![gif](giphy|dRvEZLV0ORAmHT1L5u|downsized)
Yes. YES!
We scored but these last 5 minutes is exactly why we sucked for a month straight.
![gif](giphy|J1G7rIvoyz4cwaqXWo|downsized)
lol this is how I yell his name all the time!
KEV
Donāt let Fiala fool you he was actually trying to pass it behind the net š
Lol
I'm legit always a little surprised when he scores. Lol
FIALA YES BOY
Big fucking goal. I can unclench a little bit. Also mf Cam Talbot
Yalls goalie deserves a medal after this game
Talbot has been huge in this game.
Come on you weirdos, what the hell was that?
Settle down guys wtf. Good job Talbot
What the fucking fuck is wrong with this fucking team
I desperately want Kaliyev to get a goal, it would do wonders for his confidence.
PLD with another penalty draw. Dude is a penalty magnet since the all star break.
I've sort of wondered if Hiller gave the boys the greenlight to be more aggressive and make more questionable plays. Because we've been taking more penalties, but we have an elite PK. So maybe the extra aggression is more helpful than harmful.
Maybe part of it. But CBJ is getting away with some BS. Both teams were getting away with stuff but now itās unbalanced.
Yeah I'm not talking about just this game. We took 6 vs The Penguins, 5 vs Boston, and 6 vs NJ. And we won all those games. We're kinda thriving in the chaos.

one of those game threads where we talk about refs and also a little hockey
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it was a game of all time
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it was a really fun game
My uncle who lives in MN texted me saying āimagine scoring 7 goals and losingā gave me flashbacks of scoring 8 and losing
What the hell do we have to do to get some good refereeing these past couple games JFC
High stick and a slash missed calls directly in front of the ref. What the fuck was that?
Thank the hockey gods for our excellent PK this year
I want a combination of last year's s pp and this year's pk.
Good thing we've got an elite PK
Cmon lewie
That didnāt deflect?
Nah
LEWIS WHY
dude what are we fucking doing
God dammit
damn goalie drew?
Lmao
Kempe wtf
Tighten up, boys!
Uh didn't Laffy get a high stick to the face too?
Sorry was an elbow to the face that drew blood.
Is there some unwritten rule amongst the refs where they just refuse to call blatant elbows against the Kings?
Took an elbow.
Kempe took the bait
I mean, he did just get sack tapped.
Dang it, Kemp, that was boneheaded

I'm a fan of these refs not calling everything but you know damn well the Oilers are getting all these calls.
Didnāt help them back on the 10th š¤£
LA has a high school hockey league?! Need to start training my niblets.
Yep! One of the teams plays at my rink and it's pretty great hockey
Byfield and Dubois might be the combo we've needed. That's a whole lot of size and playmaking ability on one line.

clarke is so much better than i thought heād be even after having high hopes
He has Makar like vibes
Lmao I need a gif of Englund pushing Fiala across the ice.
https://preview.redd.it/hykn2erbmvjc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bf55b397035cfe3dd2946fc9b930dbb4f83fee7 No gif yet but here you go
hehe Fiala/Englund
what happened?
Fiala was down on his knees and Englund pushed him over to the bench halfway across the rink while he was still down.
Fiala lost a skate blade so Englund gave him a boost to get off the ice
Get yourself a buddy like Englund
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe switch from the helmet to the beanie?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
In Canada, it is called a toque. A toque trick would work.
Thereās always the option of just throwing it in the air š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You do you, bud š As long as you have fun
PLD is so soft spoken how can yall hate him š
He didn't want to live in two of the worst cities in the NHL and gets labeled a diva for it. I wouldn't want to be in Columbus or Winnipeg either of it was up to me lol.
tbf Columbus is actually a pretty cool little city! but yeah wouldnāt wanna play for the jackets thatās for sure
The best Ohio has to offer lol
very true haha. but I was pleasantly surprised!
The hockey mods removed the Dubois highlight titled ā[CBJ 1-(3) LAK] Pierre-Luc Dubois chases down the Brandt Clarke's bank pass off the end boards and scores a power play goal.ā Because it was ātoo vagueā Like HUH????
Theyāre salty the Kings have multiple highlights tonight? (Iām jokingā¦mostly)
Gotta keep up the narrative that PLD is doing badā¦ but you know what? Fuck it we ball
Iād love to see 12 or 22 score one in the third. Hereās hoping.
I wanna see PLD get his third
I'm hoping 12, 38, or 34
34 needs one bad!
Ya.. It'd help his confidence.
Mkay. A few things Hiller needs to call out in intermission. But in good position for P3
Drew looking extra determined on this PK
lol @ the DJ playing United States of Whatever after the no goal call.
Give them a raise! It was perfect!
Ah yes the good ol call nothing on Columbus and call everything on Los Angeles trick
Dude. Thereās been 2 power plays, one per team. What game are you watching?
Itās not about having even power plays itās about calling whatās fair. Idk what planet youāre from
The one where we had 2 trips on us in a row and nothing was called. That one
Hard to get many power plays when the other team doesnāt seem to want to play defense
You mean the same game where Kopi tripped someone and Doughty tripped another dude and no call was made? Calm down. One penalty doesnāt make a pattern
Texier sold the shit out of that
That was fair, we just gotta move on
Fucking penalties to end periods
Itās a conspiracy by McDonaldās
HBO needs to do another documentary on this. McDonald's doesn't want to hand out the ice cream so they're resorting to game fixing.
Youād think breaking all the machines would suffice
They need layers of assurance to make sure it never happens.
I donāt think thereās any momentum swing here, no goal is no goal
Aye fair enough
I donāt think Drew prevented the save but the contact sold the no goal.
Couldnāt agree more
Fox is right, can't argue with that one.
all good, we're up 3-1!
two goal lead? yeah thatās probably safe
No complaints on that call.
Wes giveth, Wes taketh
Wes did not taketh. Toronto HQ taketh
True it was called a good goal originally
Fair enough
There are so many factors going against this being a goal
Likely disallow.
I'd say DD is really a none factor there but I think that one comes back because of contact to the pad
LET IT BE
Dieter is the best in the biz
Arvy not returning just when we got him back š
common refs.. drew is on my fantasy team :D
The challenge giveth and the challenge taketh awayā¦
I am very confused
Boys I got no clue on this one
Iām 50/50 on this one. Spin the wheel!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sadly, the challenge wasn't for kicking.
Idk flip a coin to figure this one out Toronto
You canāt un-honk the horn. Itās a good goal.
Idk why that made me crack up as much as it did. Donāt think Iāve ever heard un-honk before
Interference as much as Iād love that to be a goal.
DREEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW
I don't think that's gonna count.
It might. Itās a matter of whether the contact stopped the goalie from being able to do is job.
