If you win 11 straight road games your home isn't LA anymore. Your home is wherever there's a sheet of ice
"I cherry picked some stats."
Thank you for your honesty Jesse š
SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN AAAHHHHHH
gkg!
Those stats arnt updated for Byfield yet lol. He has 8 goals and 13 apples now š also a +14
Wait until Viktor arvidsson comes back and joins PLD on the 3rd line š¬
Itās hard not to like Jesse
Love how the kings are with prospects as a lifelong fan I can say we have always been great at cultivating young talent dating all the way back to drafting Luc Robitaille in the 10 millionth round
People also need to realize about Byfield is that he broke his ankle after his rookie year, had an illness that left him bedridden and lost 15 lbs over, and was shooting with 2 sprained wrists last year.
Talbot wasn't healthy last year. He spent the off season getting healthy and working on how to stay healthy. Guess its working. Long season though so we shall see. GKG!
Hell yea letās go kings !
Byfield actually has 21 points after tonight š¤
The league is officially on notice.
Byfield has six goals coming into the game. After tonight he now has EIGHT.
Byfield played TEN MINUTES tonight š¤š¤š¤š¤
On our D, I think changing up the 3rd pair from last year was huge. Last year Edler and Durzi were huge defensive liabilities. Now we have Englund and Spence. Spence is probably not quite as good offensively as Durzi (yet) but is far far better defensively. Englund is a defensive stalwart, and gives us that big mean dude that you hate to play against
LA's Blueline is vastly underrated, Matt Roy inparticular is quietly the best defensmen no one has heard of, he never makes mistakes and literally makes his partners better every shift
you don't need to cherry pick stats. As of tonight the Kings have an of average 3.87 goals per game which is 1st in the NHL and on they average 2.22 goals against per game which is 1st in the NHL. Those are all the stats you need. They have the second highest winning % just behind the NYR.
just think of this- the Rangers start Quick. GO KINGS GO!!!
The Kings d are nuts. Mikey Anderson was drafted in the 4th round. Spence is 4th round. Gavy and Roy are 6th and 7th respectively. Crazy. Crazy!
The record was set with tonight's win against the Habs.
Kings fan since 1983 Go Kinfs Go!
You are really good, Jesse. I really enjoyed your enthusiam as you shared your thoughts. As a long term Kings follower, if you know their history, you'll understand the word "reserved"…so I thrill to each achievement, but also keep waiting for them to suddenly drop out of the top 5…let's hope for the best…God bless…rl
The Kings are looking so composed and resilient and you can tell they have great team chemistry. This is really exciting to see. GKG!
The Kings are the hottest team in the NHL? It's the helmets. They're blinding. All you see is 5 dwarf stars intent on stealing your lunch. It's not fair maaaaaaaan!
Ofc we get the rangers on a back to back so if we lose weāll get trashed on all week by the media for losing a back to back but if we win then rangers have no excuses
Not only are they just 4 deep lines, unlike other teams, match ups aren't a thing. They are just continually rolling the lines irregardless of the match ups, which is keeping each line fresh and dominant. I mean most times it's our best against their best. But with the Kings every line is comparable. Man, every coaches dream and most teams nightmare.
man as a kings fan i love watching them this year
in every game
