  1. On the one hand, yay, a win. On the other hand, hope it doesn’t give Blake false hope. I still don’t want to see Todd behind the bench after the all star break.

  2. Hockeyruinedmylife

    Is this what happiness feels like? The boys remembered how to win!

  3. “You’re only as good as your last game”. Guess we’re pretty good going into the All-Star break!

    /s

    Congrats, Turc!

  4. Al_C_Oholic

    It’s February some places in this world, we have that to thank for our win today

  5. Dependent_Weight2274

    YES!
    That was an important win!

    Now let’s take our break, and beat Edmonton on the 10th.

  6. henreiman

    So much to work on and pretty much only a W because Rittich is an animal

    But fuck it we got 2 points and momentum into the ASB!!!

  7. sophophora

    Hell of a game for Turc, I’m so stoked for him.

    But overall another pretty poor performance from the Kings, got bailed out by Dave and the posts wayyyy too many times. At least they outscored their problems I guess. Big 2 points regardless.

    Todd still needs to go but a W tonight probably bought him some more time. Maybe we’ll get lucky and things are already underway on getting him replaced over the break.

  8. GoinToCalifornia

    Turcotte has mad hustle. If he can be consistent then Todd will have no choice but to keep him in the lineup

  9. RoyalBassGrab

    Besides the 4th line coming back to carrying the team I think the star of the game was the post, 3 blocked shots, A-fucking-mazing!

  10. TheWayDenzelSaysIt

    That was nice to see. Hopefully they can keep it up after the break (which I think they will)

  11. sashachenko

    I’m glad Turc had himself a game and that Dave got the W. But I’m disgusted if this W lets Todd keep his job. Fuck

  12. dlrdweller

    we needed this win before the break

    turcotte had a good game too! hope they keep him around after the break

    GKG !! hope they come back on the 10th refreshed af

  13. Alex Turcotte being the spark the 4th line needed is exactly what the doctor ordered. Goal post best Dman out there on the ice. The dog days are upon us, let’s hope the break gives the boys a chance to recharge and get back to regular wins.

  14. ShadowChair

    Realistically we got bailed out by the post and by Rittich. Not really a great game.

    1st line was not great. Kopitar has been playing better the past couple games but this game felt like a step back, even some issues in our own zone. Kempe has been invisible besides a goal here and there for a month. Byfield was pretty good.

    2nd line was not that great either but I thought Moore had a really good game.

    3rd line was pretty much a non-factor, I don’t think anything happened for either team while they were out there which is at least not bad.

    4th line popped off, Turcotte was amazing, Lewis and Grundy broke their goal droughts. They carried this game along with Rittich.

    Happy to get a win and super happy for the guys on the 4th line, especially Turcotte, but man we are very lucky to get 2 points after that.

  15. SemiCharmedMike

    New fan here. This was the first live game I’ve watched on TV.

    Rittich seems pretty good on first viewing. Turcotte also had a good energy!

    I’m excited to watch another.

  16. Edmuresay

    Turc was an animal in this one. He basically got a dead line going again the past two games. I’d be interested to see him in JADs spot up with PL. Might drag PL into the game a bit more. Nice to see some puck luck go our way for a game, fucking finally. Thank you post and Dave. He was very good in this one.

    Blake’s not gonna do anything I don’t think, so lets hope the break is what this team needs and root for the boys. Throw in Arvy coming back… we’ll see what happens. See ya in 10 days, GKG.

  17. Vegetable_Safety_417

    Took away a couple things; Ritty HUGE with the vision tonight, thought he was dialed in( I’ve also really liked his puck handling/ poke check, I like that he’s V aggressive). Thought that Deryl said it best,” You have to keep what you’re doing but still be held accountable on D”. If we can replicate the heart put into tonight’s game, I’m excited for the post season!

  18. Thumper13

    Turc played well, so he’ll probably get sent down. Congrats on his 1st.

    Hope the break resets the team and we can get back to what was working.

  19. 40ozofOldeEnglish

    I’m just glad we’re going into the break on a win at this point

    Hopefully it helps the team move past those terrible months

  20. Let Turcotte develop here. He plays like a hungry predator 😝

  21. Turc had a hell of a game, hopefully he can stay healthy and get in a groove with the big club

  22. ZiggyPalffyLA

    Let’s just be happy for this win and stop complaining about how it “saved Todd’s job”.

  23. Isabella5322

    Turcotte and Rittich were some real bright spots going into the break. Looking forward to seeing Gavy dance again.

  24. flackguns

    so far it just feels like a bad team lucked out a win. We’ll see if this keeps up.

  25. Finally, I can get a decent sleep tonight. Thank you Kings!

  26. johannesBrost1337

    I don’t give a shit about anything other than that we won tonight for the rest of the evening! Man I missed winning. I’ll be back to wanting Todd-o fired tomo!

  27. Kings win. The boys dance. The cherry on top – Fiala closed out my parlay to win $500.
    Happy ASG week!

  28. i have been to a lot of Kings away games in my time. this was the first win that i have seen. felt good

  29. Cagekicker52

    I’m very happy to see the win! I’m very happy Turcotte got his goal too. He’s been needing to be a NHL player for a while now. Not down in the ahl meat grinder where losers who were never drafted are trying to take him out.

    That being said, up until the return from break, I will be hoping to hear of Todd’s firing. One glitchy win vs Nashville right before the break isn’t enough to sway that opinion. I want our top 6 in the top 6 damnit. I want Clarke and Turcotte every night. I want to see flexibility that gives us the best chance to win at ALL times.

    That being said, if they decide to ride him out, I will support him and the team 100% and hope for the best. I’m not going to bitch and complain about something that management isnt going to change. If that’s the case the next best time to bitch about Todd will be after the season ends if it’s still warranted.

    At the end of any day no matter what, it’s always, Go Kings Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. This was a fun game to watch, and I’m so happy for Turcotte. Welcome to the NHL, kid!

  31. mixedbyjmart

    I live in Nashville now and I love to see them lose at home!

  32. Trufflehunter89

    Not gonna lie, as a flames fan I really don’t care about the kings but I am beyond happy to see Big Save Dave thriving after a few years of uncertainty. Hopefully you guys get your chance at revenge and spank Edmonton in the playoffs!
