The Kings’ newly constructed first line came through with the game’s first goal. Brad Richardson controlled the puck behind the Colorado net and carried it out front. Elliott made a stop, but the rebound stayed in the crease and Anze Kopitar knocked in the rebound to give the Kings a 1-0 lead 7:13 into the first period. Wayne Simmonds also picked up an assist on Kopitar’s 20th goal of the season.
Great Start. This team is starting to come together at a critical time. They really do learn alot when you lose alot.

Despite what has appeared to us fans to be a chaotic 48 hours, team looks tight…

@JLVIV, Actually, its both. We are starting to play better, and the Avalanche have a bad defense and chemistry issues..its obvious.

Simmonds and richie made that play and Kopi got the easy goal! Love the teamwork guys keep it going

love richie on line 1 vs colorado!

Dear altitude TV, its pretty rare that I get to watch the Kings on TV without leaving my house, so if you could be so kind as to fix your stupid TV network and allow me to watch the game that would be great.

@GreyPaws, i was just going to post this too. all we’re really missing is that sniper who can pop in 40 along with having 4 20-goal scorers and we’re set. Stolly also has a shot @ getting 20, he’s sitting @ 16 right now.

I think this is the best start of a first period this year.

I HATE the Kings’ telecasts sound!!
The on-ice microphones and the crowd are way too quiet. Bob and Jim are blaring, and yes, I love them, but someone turn up the microphones on the ice! You can barely hear the stick to stick passes, the hits, the crowd, agh!!! Watching other games on Center Ice, some telecasts have it just right and you can hear everything so clearly!
[Reply]
Great goal. We dont need a sniper if Kings play Colorado everynight. Rich the sinper.
[Reply]
Thank gosh Kopitar decided to shoot the puck? Good thing there was no one around to pass to!

Nice goal! GO KINGS!

Richardson should always play on the 1st line against Colorado but thats it…good job though Brad

Our skilled puck handling and passing are really exposing the Avs
weak defensive play. Surprised it’s only 1 nothing!

Agreed. He said, “it would have to be something substantial, or big, or whatever in order for it to happen…”
It wasn’t a definitive, “No, he’s not going anywhere, we are keeping him no matter what.”
I heard what you heard.

but it doesn’t seem like the right player is available for Schenn to be dealt. Which is fine with me.

Kopitar scored nice goal, line with Simmons is working imo, but Kopi still needs an LW in his line

I wish the Kings would take advantage of a player on the weekside better on that 5 on 3. The y tried with JJ a few times, but should be patrolling that lane more aggressively.
[Reply]
their you just seen my interview the LA kings are a business you fans in LA have not had a winner in how long now maybe this year the kings will go back to the playoffs you fans are filling up staples almost every night do not expect a big trade the other GM”s know i’am out to steal somebody and won’t deal but you fans witll still come and as long as Murrary can keep richardson clifford and lewis +/- down we will be their but i will try harder next year sincerly Dean

I don’t understand your problem you guys. Nick Nickson was saying (as I’m listening in NY) that it reminded him of the iconic Montreal teams of years past – so one of you is wrong!
btw, he did mention it was the Montreal Maroons of 1923

I have listen to sportnet, TSN and Nhl.com. Fans just don’t understand what kind of player we have in Scheen. Ingila who has been 50 goal to 40 and now only 30 has never lead his team to anywhere. Richards got injuries problem. Just like every expert and Dean knows Scheen put be a big mistake to give any trade. Dean needs to come out and say that Scheen is untouchable to make things clear to everyone. All teams all eyeing him and could be why the deal is not happening. Do not trade Scheen Dean. I repeat DO NOT trade SCHEEN. It would be Cam Neely kind of trade.
