It's not 1977 any more, but the Kings are still in town. Coming off a 6-2 loss to the Leafs last night, will they be tired or energized and looking for a win? Will Jonathan Quick Darcy Kuemper be back or will the Kings' backup goalies still be trying to keep the puck out of the net?

I'll be at the game with my 7yo.  Hoping for a bounce back game tonight and a big win for the Habs. 

(Kopitar with a couple of points would not hurt my fantasy pool though :) )

No #55 again, awww.

Despite losing, Barron probably played his best game of the season so far against Pittsburgh.

 

LA is on the back end of a back-to-back.  Should give the advantage to Montreal, should.

"Should" being the operative word. Part of me thinks the King's are due for a bounce back game after a couple of weak efforts. We will see.

No word yet on Kuemper playing or not. Their backup goalies did not impress in Toronto.

Dach has to stop trying to force the pass through the middle every time he gets the puck on the PP.  Sure, it'll work once in awhile, but it'll cause a turnover and a zone exit far, far more.

Damphousse giving it to Wifi during the intermission. He makes a good case. The kid seems overmatched and Vinny D did a good job of breaking down his lousy shifts. Marc Denis speculates that he’s afraid of making mistakes after all the pre-season drama, but that guy has to play fearless if he’s going to make it. He’s a weak link right now for sure.
