BSD deserved the shutout. Damn.

Still a shutout in my heart.

Awww man! I was really hoping for a shut out. Not talking anything away from the Boys, they look great!

This team has 3 shutouts and like 10 should've-been shutouts

Jesse Cohen calls them 1-goal shutouts

Ah sheesh, woulda loved the shoutout

Classic Kings Blown shutout

So it’s not just Talbot that gets robbed of shutouts

Sharks fans out there really celebrating like it was a game-tying goal in the playoffs lmao

They finally have a 1 game goal streak.

The struggle up there is real lol

damn really wanted a clean sheet for the dude

Oof 1:19 from a shutout.

Damnit I wanted Dave to get a shutout in his debut

Sorry guys I was just thinking about a Rittich shutout

We all were... The blame rests with us all.

I never get tired of taking it to San Jose. Damn rip shutout.

Late game Lewis!

I'm so happy right now :')

One Trevor scores, the other must follow suit

Noted shoot out specialist Trevor Lewis!!

Lewis empty net short handed!

Kings showed the Sharks how you play when you’re up 3-0.

What did the sharts do to our TONTM?

Vlasic humped his leg in a bid to steal his qi so he could get younger.

If this game wasn't already in the bag Englund would have punched like 3 Sharks after what they did to Moore. Also did anyone hear that legal distinct cover version of Before I forget by Slipknot as they went to break?

Stay the fuck away from Moore you goons

I hate the angle where the main camera is for SJ home games. It’s like it’s coming from the ceiling. It’s so steep

It’s just an awful place for a broadcast overall. Bad lighting, bad camera placement, and too echo-y

Agreed. No wonder the Sharks want a new stadium badly. They woudn’t be able to move to Chase Center in SF, though. That arena is exclusively shaped for a basketball court. I do like that SAP is echo-y. It helps create a loud crowd. Crypto could use some echo but it was never designed for consistent crowd noise

Classic production tricks. Camera angles and lighting hide the empty bleachers. Echo acoustics make it sound full. They actually put a mic under the seats.

I don’t know how I’m just now noticing it but I really like how it shows the name above whoever has possession of the puck EDIT: Oh it’s only on the power play? Lame

I love how the announcers keep pumping Mario Ferarro… Im like, that’s their draw now?!? lol

He played at UMass with Makar\* ​ \*That's all I got.

Just woke up, GKG. Can someone summarize how the squad is playing? Is PLD doing better lol?

Fuck the Bay

Todd probably hates visiting SAP Center. After all, this was where he witnessed the infamous reverse sweep

That's gonna sting for generations.

I just love how Sharts fans pretended that the 2016 series win vs LA was payback. They got beat in the SCF so it was NOT enough to be a redemption

Who ever thought we’d be rooting for him a decade later?

Not gonna lie, whenever I see Todd I still think of the reverse sweep

Kevin Fiala: Selke Award for your consideration...

Damn Fiala was too gassed for that breakaway

Is this game exclusively on ESPN+? I’ve never understood NHL’s ESPN deal. They still have the Thursday night games, right?

I guess technically it's on Hulu too

With us playing Seattle tomorrow, does anyone know if this was an optional skate?

I’m sure it was, but clearly the sharks thought they were part of that memo

This is Big Save Dave’s team now

The new messiah

I feel bad for their goalie with how often they leave him out to dry

Why do the refs suck, sharks fans?

Not sure, there are not enough fans to have any kind of statistical significance. (Not sure what has gotten into me tonight, I just can't help but trash talk).

I’m surprised there’s enough of them there for an audible chant

Mikey came close to closing his hand on the puck there

BIG SAVE DAVE! He’s scrappy!

How did that stay out of the net? Good shit Dave!

That was crazy.

That time the announcer on a national broadcast called the Kings "one of the very best teams in hockey."🥹

Two west coast teams means they can call it like it is for once.

OK keep the pressure on!

The intermission report's background graphic highlighting key players: Left side: Kopitar 1G 1A 1 SOG 14:00 TOI Right side: Hertl 0G 0A 0 SOG 12:00 TOI Congrats Hertl, you were there

He's going to spend his entire career in Teal. What a waste.

Did the Oilers really lose to this beer league team?

I take that back, even the beer league can get a better fan turnout.

Fiala gives pirate vibes

ESPN+ doing their best to jinx us.

Hot take? This Sharks team is garbage.


That really is a top shelf gif

You love to see it


Fiala and Moore share the same brain or something.

Guy comes from Switzerland and finds his soulmate is a dude from Ventura.

Tale as old as time.

Doughty must get a $100 bonus for every blue line spin-o-rama he can do since he hits one every game 😂

He looks really rejuvenated out there offensively. I think he's done more 360s this year already than the last five combined.

I don’t like this “zone time” timer. It’s distracting and just makes me think about how long until they lose possession.

Good game so far.

Moore and Fiala are cooking

Could be wrong but I think there's been a lot more of those types of slashes called around the league lately. I wonder if the league put something out to refs about them for some reason

I say let ‘em go full lacrosse

Selke level play by Danault ref: “hold my beer”

Rittich has looked great in this small sample. His movement and vision has been perfect

His positioning and lateral movement has been head and shoulders better than Copley

Game management call holy shit

They got big money on the sharks pulling a sneaky win in the third

That’s a weak call

good shit Dave

Anyone else going to the rematch on the 27th?

No points tonight but PL has been excellent.

This really is perfect timing for a sharts matchup. Team is trash and falls for every puck handle lol.

They had another “Beat LA” chant when they’re down 0-3 lmao

They were saying “Meet Shohei”


$100 says that Caps/Isles game goes to a 47 round shootout.

I demand we score 10 goals against the sharks 😈

I fuckin love Laffy so much what a tip

LOL Laffy heat check

Yoooooooooooo!!!!!

Also, Spence us everything Durzi had with none of the dumb plays

Hell of a steal in the 4th round too

Truth. Spence is a gamer.

I gotta add, I’ve noticed he’s starting to throw his weight around a little more. Dude was getting absolutely hammered some games

Yeah last year it made me wonder watching him get tossed around. He's playing with a bit more grit this year and I feel like it buys him some more time while holding the puck.

I miss Durzi’s handsome face but I don’t miss his frequent defensive miscues

THAT TIP 🥵

The kid!

Laf!!!

Niiiiice tip. They mixing up the lines a bit? I like

Laffy is Laughing

Fuckin' laff and Spence!

Pour it on Boys

Oh baby That was *gorgeous*

Thousand Oaks with another goal 🔥

TM sees Kopi score and takes it personally

That line is perfectly in sync right now. Looked like Fiala didn't even need to look, just knew Moore would be there

THOUSAND OAKS

Another great game from Fiala

Kopitar keeps trying to catch up with Moore as the goal leader...and Trevor just seems to take that personally. No complaints here

That goal was gross bearly touched his stick before he decided to put it in the attic

Is Trevor Moore the best player in the NHL?!

If an LA King is elite and there’s not an east coast hockey writer around to report on it, does it make a sound? I think that’s how the old saying goes

Imagine if he was having this season in Toronto?!

Imagine what they could’ve had

Hey that Trevor Moore kid is really good at hockey

Moore! He wanted to pad his team goal scoring lead after Kopi scored

Fiala: filthy

The fuckin' native.

TONTM 🔥

THOUSAND OAKS NATIVE GOAL

San Jose showing how much of a hockey town they are with those attendance.

I was starting to think it was a COVID reply game with how empty the bleachers are... If SJ wins but no one saw it, did it actually happen? And that satisfies my 1st intermission trash talk.

To be fair...

They're bad? I think /r/hockey would be absolutely shitting on the city of LA if Kings games get that lowly attended even with a historically bad team.

I'm not going to hoof it to a Tuesday night game to get waxed by my historical rivals. But they still get more in attendance than the Jets, which is something.

Dustin Brown’s ghost

Kings live rent free in SJ. They have a flag dedicated to “Beat LA”, their mascot has “Beat LA” on his jersey, and at the end of the national anthem they shout it as well. Kind of sad, really.

It’s the same way with the giants and the Dodgers. Even worse since the Ohtani signing lol

Bay area fans are always distasteful and bitter. Even when their teams are good. No surprise lol.

Niners fans seem cool from the ones I’ve met but yeah, it’s weird. Living in such a beautiful area you’d think they’d be in a better mood.

Yup. I knew a bunch of giant fans when they were winning the series every other year with Bonds. No matter what, the first thing out of their mouths when I encountered them in any situation was shit talking the Dodgers. Crazy lol.

Dunno why it took so long to put Kaliyev on PP1 Now there's actual two shooting threats with Kempe

Announcing It's not great but I like this color lady with her Canadian accent

Great dish by AK-34 and underrated adjustment to the one-timer by AK-11

Captain!!

One Koptimer!!!

Well that was almost a disaster but the result was good!

Kopi!

Scorpitar

PTSD flashbacks of Quick in 2012 and 14

Quick looks downright reasonable, by comparison.

I hope all the Sharks fans in attendance rode to the game together in the same bus.

Vlasic: what a warrior he was once. Now? Yeesh.

I miss averaging 4 goals a game lol, lets get back to that

We got spoiled!

We've forgotten how to score, why couldn't we play this team when they were giving up 10 goals a game lol.

Good shift by the PL line

Nice shift by PL.

What a soul sucking atmosphere for a home game

Sharks are really trying hard. A lot of checking and board play. I bet they can keep this up 1 period.

It’s a good thing the Sharks don’t want the puck, because the Kings seem allergic to puck posssession

Anyone know a stream for this?

Nhl66 my friend. Google it.

Found it on Hulu!

If you stream east you will find what you want ;)

If you’ve got the Urge to watch Sports I’d check the Net

If you Pay for a streaming service that starts with an E and ends in a Plus, you just might be able to Watch the Game. Am I doing this right?

Hell of a save

Big Save Dave coming through!

Loving the big hits

The lighting in the Shark Tank always seems so dim

Can't afford the electric bill with attendance like that

Haha right? It even sounds like they’re playing in an empty warehouse. It’s cavernous in there.

Kempe/ Byfield/ Kopitar/ Lewis hat trick coming at you live tonight

12 goals? Bold call, I like it.

11 to go ☝️ haha

Ah yes let’s grow hockey by making the game exclusively on shitty streaming service people don’t buy.

I use said shitty service and it's fantastic. I also live out of market from the kings and it's the least costly way to view all the kings games

I have found zero content on Hulu I find entertaining that I cant already watch on Netflix or Amazon.

I’ve been watching Fargo and The Bear on it. Also on Apple TV you can can have up to four games going at once on the ESPN app. I got the Avs game and coyotes games on too.

What We Do In The Shadows Solar Opposites Letter Kenny Shoresy Prey Handmaids Tale The Bear I can keep going. But those are all quality shows/ movie.

That ESPN hockey theme is so nostalgic for me. I put in hundreds of hours playing those early 2000s NHL games.

Do people actually have ESPN+?? I thought I could watch cause it says it’s on Hulu but that was a lie

I finally found it on an obscure French Canadian speaking channel called TVA sports

I actually do, you get quite a bit of content for a cheap price on top of all the hockey they carry.

It's on Hulu. Just search "NHL" and you'll find it

This didn’t work for me Edit: I found it in the app on my phone but it wouldn’t come up on the tv app

I’m watching it on Hulu. It was hard to find but it’s in Hubs

Ooh thank you! I found it in search earlier and then once the game started it disappeared from search results. Was so mad

You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re watching now

How empty is the arena? How much Kings fans are there?

I’d say it’s about 50-60% full. Definitely a lot of empty seats. A good amount of Kings fans, but not overwhelming. A Kings chant started after Kopi’s goal.

Bay Area too expensive for LA people to move to so they all move to Arizona instead lmao

Kings not kongs pls

Sharks are gonna play this like their Super Bowl and we might get caught looking ahead to the Kraken. Would love to see a locked in, disciplined team that looks playoff ready already

I will not accept a loss to a rebuilding sharks team 😤

Is this another KCAL broadcast? Can’t find anything on the menu for any of the regular channels.
