When's the last HOF Captain type to get traded? I certainly don't consider anyone on our list to be HOF worthy, so have we not had that level player since Gilbert?

Tkachuk’s don’t grow on trees……

Upl getting his 4th shut out of the season, 1st 4 shutout season since miller in 2011

Pretty impressive

Anytime you beat a team 7-0 it’s a good night. Idc who it is.

The same Kings beat the Oilers 4-0 the other night.

A win is a win, enjoy it for 24 hours.

Got lots of time to be miserable ffs

Sure, it was entertaining to watch, to a degree, until you realize the opponent didn't actually have players inside those uniforms, they were occupied by phantoms.

I'm not using last night as any kind of indicator that if they play a certain way, they're a playoff team or better when the game was against a bad opponent who no-showed.

Looking forward to tomorrow night.

Have a feeling reality will be on display.

The Kings have generally stunk for a while now, which is why they fired their coach, and they sucked last night, totally mailing in their 'performance'.

A much better barometer will be tomorrow nights game against a true top notch opponent.

Reinhart with the hat trick tomorrow night?

Take the big win and be happy

Power (small sample size) was not missed in the slightest vs the kings

We’re not tanking yet right?

It should have been entertaining, but they've beaten that out of me this season.

If Bryson continues to play 19 minutes a night, I don't think this is going to age well....especially on the road.

Maybe Bryson is a late bloomer like tage?

Bryson was excellent last night, look for more of the same vs Florida

+4 if I’m not mistaken?

Glad they had a guy in the organization to step up and bring us within 10 points of a playoff spot ☝️

Yeah, it’s ok to call a young guy out for his terrible play

Power being 21, hope he learns the game better sooner then later

Also, good luck tomorrow night, I’ll be there….

- Boss34

My impression was that it was just as much everyone around him, as well as him.

Enjoy the game tomorrow night.

If they keep Granato for the coming future. Which I assume they will. They better be serious about either letting him pick his staff or getting him some quality assistants.

This Matt Ellis PP coach bs needs to stop.

- DirtyDan

1 for 2 on pp last night

they are improving

If Bryson shows up to camp at 6'6", it'll be something to talk about.

Odds he's even back next year? under 50%?

Granato on UPL: says Craig Anderson was a great mentor for UPL but having Levi here really pushed him, says when there is another capable, young goalie here, it was a big nudge for him to get better.

Odds Bryson shows up at 6’6 < 2024 roster spot for Bryson

La kings are in a playoff spot at the moment, it’s ok to enjoy a nice win finally

Good with Levi and Benson?
- Lunaion


Benson yes. Levi no. Shouldn't have left him out. I agreed at the start but by the end of October I wanted him gone.

Not much enjoyment in meaningless hockey this season. Will be a little more interested if they call some kids up.

VO + Bryson back in is negative enjoyment for me. I don't expect either to be here next year.

Don't forget the follow-up Tweet:

Even funnier they’re 8th in goals against per 60 at 5v5 but 27th in expected goals against in EH’s model.

All hail our new king UPL.

Sabres are 32nd in xGF%/60 on the power play. Not 5 on 4, the power play.

They are 32nd in GF% too.

31st in xGA/60.

32nd in HDCF%

31st in SCF/60.

30th in SH%

This is a Matt Ellis post.

Kings are 3-5-2 in their last 10 and hanging on to a playoff spot like grim death.

More importantly, they no-showed last night.

Would've been more interesting and entertaining to win 4-3 or something along those lines with the Kings fighting hard and playing well.

Reminded me of the game against Colorado where the Avs just didn't show up at all.

They don't shoot. And when they do shoot, the shots are bad. They create no danger. An average powerplay has this team in the wildcard battle.

Welp, Doomsday is here.
New Russian military capability poses serious threat to American people. Speculation is that it is related to a recent test by Russian to neutralize satellite capabilities.

There has been slight improvement since Don publicly claimed he was intervening on the powerplay. Not much of a sample on that yet though. We're like 8th worst now.
