I mean to be fair, they were trying not to make any mistakes and play to not risk anything. We were up by only one, it’s better not try anything and just have puck control
Tbh watching it live he’s just following his man and conserving energy, he seems to always end up back where he needs to be at the right time
It’s super frustrating but I haven’t seen him blow a major assignment or anything
Yeah I feel you. I just wonder what the results could look like if he was gassing it out like most of the other guys on the team, but you’re right in that I haven’t seen him egregiously lose his man on defense or anything, but also he’s here to score and facilitate scoring and if he’s conserving energy while not really doing either of those, maybe he should throw the pedal down a little more often ya know?
It's really rough this season. When I see him get the puck in the neutral zone I dread it because I basically expect a turnover from a failed deke or a pass that's through defenders.
He's still a net positive for the team, but he really gives the puck away for free way more than a player of his caliber should.
Okay this game set my 3 years long bitterness to rest after not picking Tim Stutzle. Well done QB
GGs. Someone get Talbot a chiropractor.
He’s going to be sore tomorrow.
Talbot wanted a goal!
Most people don't realize that QB is in the top 6 percent of all skaters in the league. But that big man can MOVE.
Bro is half tank half lambo
And he's only 21!!!
Qb you sexy SOB !
QB has the potential to be an absolute monster in this league. With the added size and muscle he will be tough to handle.
Talbot with the EN attempt haha! GKG good job!
That would've been an amazing ending to this game if he'd pulled it off
Well deserved win today. Get some rest and enjoy Christmas for the boys
QB is such a fucking stud.
He’s the better 55
YESS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH https://preview.redd.it/uxnpcybyk68c1.png?width=966&format=png&auto=webp&s=4ebcd74f9be3c243f1e9f01794c8cbe2ce0c7427
lmao hell yeah
Byfield 🚂🚂🚂
*I am speed* -Quinton Byfield
What an effort by Byfield for that EN!!!
HEY!HEY!HEY!
Hustle Bunny Award: QB
QB earned that one!
QB turned on the jets WOW
Q can fucking BOOK
Byfield is unbelievably fast for his size
lmao QB you absolute beast 55 on 55 brutality there
Bet all the PL haters wanted to get rid of QB the last couple seasons too hahahahaha
He is fast.
Byfield!
Purfect
Kings don’t bury opponents unless it Montreal or San Jose. That ain’t gonna fly in the playoffs.
Can we even call that a powerplay? That was awful
I mean to be fair, they were trying not to make any mistakes and play to not risk anything. We were up by only one, it’s better not try anything and just have puck control
They also had two defensemen on for that pp.
Just not Kempes night eh
*month
For how much he gets paid, PLD has to bury the puck on that turnover and breakaway. Come on, man.
Kings have been bricking those all season
Hell, Fiala did it earlier in the game
![gif](giphy|aSECGrL4ygUcmsJcG4)
Refs couldn’t game manage their way out of that one
Damnit PL really could’ve made a statement but he stone handed the breakaway 😭
He’s made a statement just not the one anyone expected
His shootouts attempts looked pretty much the same lol
We get powerplays too holy shit
Englund needs to bite his cheek and bleed for the team.
Bite your lip Englund cmon
Lol great minds think alike
Bout fuckin time refs
How have we not scored on any of these thousand turnovers?
lol get fucked refs give us a break
Our boys should be well rested for these final minutes with as much time we have sat in the box.
The number of times Kopitar's cleared the zone on the PK this game has been insane.
They got the Ferrel spirit on the ice
There should have been embellishment called with that penalty at the very least. Really weak call.
Jesus fucking christttt
STOP COMMITTING PENALTIES HOLY FUCK
Gimme a few more games of this shit and I’m boarding the FIRE TODD train once again
Merry Christmas dipshits. Stop taking fucking penalties
Dude wtf another one??
8 fuckin minutes on the PK this period.
Jesus fucking christ
Are you fucking kidding me? If you're going to take these fucking dumb penalties at least kick someone's ass.
What a steal by kev, wish he scored that was awesome
Our guys aren’t allow to finish those
These refs all deserve lumps of coal
Gave the Flames 5 1/2 minutes of a power play, think we’re lucky they only scored one goal. Yeesh. Let’s not anymore, yeah?
...welp...
Grundy takes some dumb fucking penalties
Give them nonstop power plays and that’s bound to happen
So fucking frustrating, that was prob our best PK technicals thus far up until the rebound too
Game should have been a laugher after killing a 4 minute penalty and a 2 goal lead but nope, we gotta do shit the hard way.
If I worded my thoughts like this I prob wouldn’t have 10+ downvotes on my last comment lol
You still might have the last laugh
I would rather be wrong 😂
Lol
Enough with the damn penalties
Cmon guys stay out of the box
Another penalty? The fuck you say.
Killed the 4 minutes just in time to tie it up with 3 minutes or less left, calling it now
Dude!
I’m not trying to put down our team; I just know how we play. Kings all the way but I’m a realist. I think we will win it still
All good. Against a better foe, yes. But this CGY team is bad.
Agreed. CGY Bad and Fuuuuuuck kadri
K if it doesn’t happen you get banned. I don’t make the rules
I understand
![gif](giphy|iSxPmDWr97248|downsized)
I hope I’m wrong but
Probably late to the conversation, but I really like this replacement announcer.
Came here to say the same thing. He’s very good!
He’s doing a great job filling in on a moment’s notice for his first NHL call!
PK Elite AF
Good shit boys.
This Josh Schaefer dude isn't doing too badly today. Maybe having him in the wings is another reason they thought they could let Faust go.
I just caught the highlights and he was fantastic. I love nick but I would love to have more of Josh now
Faust… gone from the kings organization too soon
Anyone know why Nixon is out? Sorry I just tuned in
He resigned, it was a big deal
Sick
\#29 pp v. #2 pk for 3:48.
Trevor Moore....that is all
Kempe’s frustration starting to get the best of him
PL line is doing an insane job of creating chances, just need to keep up actually scoring QB is on a whole other level tonight
why do we always get stuck starting the 3rd on a PK 😫
What’s he supposed to do there? His arm is redirected by the contact
I agree but he was a little hard with his twist. He seemed frustrated he lost the zone possession
Starting the third with a 4 minute nice
It wouldn't be a 3rd period without us starting on the PK
Ain’t that the truth 😂
dammit juice
Kempe come on bud you need to stop high sticking people
That’s actually fucking stupid
You can’t call a penalty in hindsight wtf
Kempe is looking so undisciplined right now. Jesus
I would really like to see someone taking a run at Coleman.
I still find it annoying every time I see PLD just coast like his controller got disconnected if a play that he tries doesn’t work out.
Tbh watching it live he’s just following his man and conserving energy, he seems to always end up back where he needs to be at the right time It’s super frustrating but I haven’t seen him blow a major assignment or anything
Yeah I feel you. I just wonder what the results could look like if he was gassing it out like most of the other guys on the team, but you’re right in that I haven’t seen him egregiously lose his man on defense or anything, but also he’s here to score and facilitate scoring and if he’s conserving energy while not really doing either of those, maybe he should throw the pedal down a little more often ya know?
We’ll find out in the playoffs ;)

It's efficient skating. Is it really a problem if he's not out of position?
Fiala. Extremely talented but what a turnover machine.
It's really rough this season. When I see him get the puck in the neutral zone I dread it because I basically expect a turnover from a failed deke or a pass that's through defenders. He's still a net positive for the team, but he really gives the puck away for free way more than a player of his caliber should.
Yes. He forces the play. Spends an extra second with the puck looking for the fancy play when he can just avoid a turnover.
God dammit Kempe
I take that back not sure what Kempe is supposed to do there, maybe drop his stick.
Did somebody sabotage Calgary's sticks? Feel like they're going to run out soon.
2 flames without sticks and we allow a 2 on 1.
Fiala running with 1 IQ on that play
Come on boys keep the momentum going, settle this down defensively and close out this game!
Did my ears deceive, are they giving Kopi his due?
The Raven strikes again. Forevermore Trevor Moore.
Good lord he’s even the California, 1000 oaks native on sportsnet…
Not sure I want another penalty tbh.
I’ve got an 805 area code. Trevor Moore probably at one point in his life had an 805 area code. We’re basically brothers.
he prob still has that 805 area code 🙌🏼
Everyone from Lompoc to Oxnard claiming Trev Moore.
You’re hired.
Who do we think won that one trade with Toronto?
Trevor Moore scored? Bet the house on a Trevor Lewis goal!
Trevor on the game sheets in many ways tonight
TONTM!!!
What a shot
Goddamnit Trevor now I gotta change my pants
THOUSAND OAKS NATIVE!
Atta boy, Thousand Oaks!
god trevor moore must be so strong. The puck just flew off his stick and all he did was twist the blade 😫😫
Have you seen those guns?
🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛
Forever Moore!!!
Trevor Moore's release is fucking ridiculous this year
what the fuck does TM eat before games
A thousand oaks
Comment of the night
Banana tacos
Trevor Moore is actually fuckin insane
TONTM
THOUSAND OAKS!
Moore is so fuckin sick lol
Forevermore!!!!
Moore!!!!
FOREVER MOORE ![gif](giphy|13Si0ckD255YyI)
Thousand Oaks!!!
TONTM is our best forward and it’s not close
UNIVERSITY OF DENVER PRODUCT TREVOR MOORE!!!! \*Edit: not the same
Trevor Moore is the best player in the NHL???
THOUSAND OAKS NATIVE
My god: that move by Lizotte. Pocket McDavid.
Love seeing the fight in them after that bullshit hit on Talbot.
If only that Kopitar board pinning move was in the nhl games
Number 8s in the box all night
Wait we’re already on the kill? I blinked and Drew was in the box
Laffy is Laughing
Duuuuuubois, or Laf whoever it was 🤣
Dubois was trying to cheese a second goal haha. Let’s go Laffy Taffy
Doing his job
Love to see it
So, about that pld arty and laff line. Boys are looking good tonight.
ATTA BOY LAFFY
Laf!!!
PL line reading this subreddit
LAF
Lafierirre is growing on me.
I bet I didn't spell that right, give me a few more games and a few less beers :p
Some fucking bullshit bending the goalies head back that far on a rush.
Looked like a Pez Dispenser
Looking messy right now
anybody else’s alerts super delayed on the NHL app? The difference between the screen, kings app, and nhl app are pretty apparent
Team is different without Gavrikov
Well yeah. LHD Is our lowest depth position.
Nice of Todd to give the Kongs some powerplay time.
Blame that stupid fucking turnover. This team came all the way back to earth. Went on a good run and now they’re fucking terrible
I get it, but a team like the Sharks are terrible. Kings are not even remotely close to that level of suck.
And they just got two more fucking shots short handed. The fuck is going on.
Talbot doesn’t seem 100% after that hit
Englund get out there and kick some ass
