Hope we will get at least one point from this road game. LA team is too good especially in scoring against us. And Fiala will play hard to score in our net too. Predicting our loss 5:6 in OT (or in SO).

Here is an interesting article to read regarding upcoming 3 road games and about positive and negative some players potential:

I agree with the article mostly except at least Steel seemed to be putting out an effort almost as much as Shaw.
The writer wasn't going out on a limb about Dumba  That's pretty much the status quo with him.
When's the trade deadline??  
The only silver lining with the injuries is we're getting a long look at our youth and that may play a part in trade time also.
I'll expect a much better effort tonight.
Wild win 5-4

[Tomdog]

The problem with the lists is they both excluded goals against/ goaltending. 

[ClusterChuck]

Has the game even started yet?
3 of my streams are all having issues or not showing the game.

*NM...Just saw the 9:30...thought it was a 9:00 start.

There's the difference in the records.

[bbgarnett]

5-4 kings in OT

[ClusterChuck]

Good to see Greenway back.

[ClusterChuck]

Feels like last game. Being smothered with no real scoring chances.

[bbgarnett]

Wow what a dumb penalty to take

[ClusterChuck]

WTF-Zucc ??
2 straight penalties...

[ClusterChuck]

1st shot in almost 15 minutes. 
Instant replay of Seattle game.

[ClusterChuck]

Fluery is at least sharp so far.

[ClusterChuck]

Wow, Blues have lost 8 straight...
And yet only 5 pts behind us.

[ClusterChuck]

Classic Dumba 

[ClusterChuck]

Wild have 0 discipline these days.

[bbgarnett]

[ClusterChuck]

What did they do during the 4 days off???
Aside from prepping their golf games.

[bbgarnett]

if only Torts was our head coach.

[ClusterChuck]

Actually impressive kill there.

[ClusterChuck]

Shut out 2 straight games. Just Wow.
Fluery deserved better than this.
We're not going to go anywhere until Foligno and Hartman are back.

[Alexandron]

Here is what happened with Kaprizov according to Russo.

Michael Russo

@RussoHockey

All because the refs let Doughty get away with extracurriculars all shift.

 

[Alexandron]

Here is more to read and to watch:

@taylorkearin

 

okay but how many times has someone done this to joel eriksson ek and it’s gone uncalled.

 

Next time Doughty will never approach to Kaprizov, because he will get this again and probably will lose all of his teeth. Better for him to play against us with the cage on his face. He crosschecked multiple times into the back of Kaprizov (our key player) brining him down to the ice and referees did not pay attention at all. And also Doughty never was a disciplined player.
