This is what Nolan needs to do to be effective. Like to see that from him. I wish King would unlatch that 500lb piano from his butt and do the same.
Looks like Penner gets the call. Hopefully the off-season pancakes are wearing off. He is a force to be reckoned with when he is in shape and on his game.

@CB14, The crease was well covered by like 2 defenseman plus Elliot could poke check the pass, Drewiske was coming down open and in the slot. I thought it was a nice pass

@Deke’r, CB is sharp, no doubt. He’s just loves Stoll about as much as Harty loves Penner. It was a nice pass but dishing to Gagne would have been the better play.

@Ivan, There was 1 d-man, and he wasn’t covered when Stoll got the puck. He waited too long, but he still could’ve tried to get it in there. He passed thru a d-man to get the puck to DD2 anyway.

that was an unbeleivable pass from VV to Carter – just under the “ankle-gap” of a sliding Dman. Lucky- maybe but as they say “that counts just the same”.

There is going to body parts all over the ice before this is done.
Next goal is a big one, Kings get it this is going to get crazy, if St. Louis gets it oh boy it will be tight all over the ice.

@tomb, Kings won the Stanley Cup. Dustin Penner was a key contributor during that run. End of argument.
Thomas Hickey is finally getting some time to play in the NHL, but is a woeful -5 playing limited minutes.
Colton Teubert… Really? The guy is barely able to stay up with the big team long enough before being sent back down to Oklahoma City, and the Oil are thin on defense. What does that tell you about him?
The only REAL mistake the Kings made was during that draft. They traded down two spots to Buffalo, who drafted 6’7″ Tyler Myers. THAT was a mistake. How would the Kings have been if they had Doughty AND Tyler Myers on their blueline playing together?
BTW,,, Kings won tonite… enjoy it!

February 11th, 2013 at 7:56 pm
@Klong, Blaspheme all you want but Doughty is under more pressure that Voynov. The absence of WM and Greener have impacted Douhgty’s game the most. It’s great to see Voynov playing so well. He is still a little bit of an uknown quantity so does not get as much attention as Doughty. If he keeps playing this way, Voynov will eventually be targeted much like Doughty. Doughty is unreal when it really counts.

Jim Fox just mentioned Bernier taking a lot of shots in the logo. Makes me kinda misty. I once had an epic Trevor Lewis quality slump when I had chances all over the place but no goals. I remarked that I could never hit anything but the goalie’s logo. Sure enough, my very supportive teammates made that my nickname for the rest of the season.
Oh, the roars from the bench whenever I hit the tender: LOOOO-GOOOO!!!!!

@goldielocks
So rebound goals and wrap around goals count less than prettier scored goals?
In the playoffs, every goal is massive regardless of how it’s scored. Even an empty net goal.
I get what you’re saying. You expect a bigger point production from a first round pick, I get it.
To his credit, the current top six are all more skilled than him and there is no room for him in a top 6 role. The bottom six players are sent out as more of a defensive/conservative role.
When he gets PK time, he’s a beast. Always manages to get to loose pucks and always gets it out.
The PK is something the Kings take pride in and can attest that to their success.
He’s a good skater and never stops working. Remember the turnover on Stoll’s series clincher in Vancouver?

@R.E.M. Murray,
Lets see, Nolan destroys Redden, has fought every challenger over the past year, and you basically call him a coward? Okaaaay….. Nolan didn’t fight Stewart since there was nothing to be gained by the Kings. If Stewart had won, it may have improved the morale of the Blues. It is one of the oldest managing tricks in the book. Rather, Nolan showed great maturity, smiled at Stewart, laughed in his face, and skated away. Exactly what he should have done.

@harty, He will never be fast but when he is playing well it gives the Kings 4 lines that is hard to match up with….That was a big advantage during the playoffs but not yet this season…Great to see VV and Cliffy grew as players…The future is bright as our best players are young and getting better..

I have to say…this Kings team is the “Rodney Dangerfield” of the league…( those of you born after 1990, that means, they get no respect)…Craig Button and all insiders at the NHL network will never sing the praises of the Kings…they reluctantly had to do it last year because they won the Cup…
No doubt, the Kings will have a rough go of it here with so moany key D-men out or going out due to injury…but, it is the effort that I have seen lately that gives me hope…they are definitely becoming more consistant and playing their game now…
Let the pundits ponder…the NHL and its network only cares about the East Coast teams anyway…(except for Vancouver…which they pick every year)

@g smith86,
Craig Buttons is the most unethical piece of canine excrement ever to be hired by the NHL network. He has always campaigned for DL’s job and went as far as demanding DL be fired right after TM was let go last season.
NOTHING that comes out of that man’s mouth ever remotely resembles the slightest shred of journalistic integrity.

How good is Voynov? Over twice the plus/minus rating than anyone else on the team. He looks amazing.

@g smith86, Having those big forwards with Richards really works well for a 3rd line checking line. Allows us to hide Stoll on the 4th line. We do need Gagne, Brown and Williams to get with the program.
Looks like Campbell is going to earn some serious frequent flyer miles. I imagine he’ll get called up once again … unless Martinez’s upper body problem is real minor. Perhaps he got his bell rung and needed to sit it out per concussion protocol?

I am tied to this team like the little boy and E.T….I get all moody and depressed when they lose…but, the energy in here tonight is such a welcome breath of fresh air…wait, did the Kings win or something?

It was nice to see the guys play as hard as they did in front of Bernier…especially in the aftermath of yesterday’s crushing loss. There was a lot to like about tonight’s effort. Both of Carter’s goals were awesome, especially the textbook 2 on 1 with VV’s highlight film pass. Clifford’s playing like a beast. Richards-Nolan-King is going to be a very interesting line. The Ellerby acquisition’s looking good. The guys are finally getting their legs. The positional play was much tighter. The passes were crisper. Puck movement gravitated toward the center. Lots of energy, but under control.
Now, let’s see if they can avoid a back-home letdown and take another two points with them to next Sunday’s showdown in Chicago.
