Don't be a jabroni.
Morning mooks, it's game day. Going to see if I can catch the Giants game and take down Christmas decorations inside while waiting for the game to start. It's a 12pm start time today.
The Kings don't generally do well in day games but I'm hoping being back on the road helps them get back into gear. The Caps are 4-4-2 in their last 10 (1-4-2 in last 7) to match LAs pedestrian play in that same span (identical record) buy playing better after a slow start. They're 2 points out of a WC spot behind NJ who has WC8. Interesting to see the Lightning also on the outside sitting 1 point behind NJ for WC8, Kucherov is having an MVP season but maybe the Tampa magic is over.
Kings need to get some guys going again, specifically Kopitar, Dunno and Doughty IMO. Clarke is on the trip with the team, hope he goes in today because I'd like to see him and how he has progressed since his 9 game stint in October 2022. Otherwise no line changes from the Detroit game. That line of PLD, Kempe and Laferriere looked good and carried the team in that game, hopefully PLD about to register his first signature game in LA - he's been building and heating up.
Talbot expected to go and Kuemper for the Caps who like Jones has been a King killer against his former team. Wilson has been pretty quiet in recent years but you know he's always around so keep those heads up and even for being a relic Ovechkin has that deadly one timer from the left circle.
Prediction: 4-2 Caps. Hopw I'm wrong, Kings need a spark.
Let's Go Kings!
