@MarcelAndRogie Get Sammy some sunblock… and let Alex Turcotte take his turn on that slingshot into the sun. I think he’s been given enough chances. Just a reminder, we could’ve had any of these players instead of him. Hindsight is always 20/20.
@RinkyReport This sentimental signing should not cost the kings any future ability to acquire players that move the needle… drew no longer moves the needle as a top 4 D on this team
@dazngroup@NHL Hey @DAZN and @NHL this is not how an LA Kings fan wants to start the season… Waited all summer to watch my team play their first game and I’m stuck watching Pittsburgh routing Philadelphia… get your act together. I paid 100 bucks for a service and I can’t even watch my team???
Elliotte Friedman: Re Alexander Nikishin trade request: I think he's interested in LA, I just don't know that LA has the ability to make this deal and fit the salary in - NHL Now (9/29)
@KopitarGOAT420 I hope Turcotte can handle2C… I agree with you. I don’t dislike this lineup at all. It really is weird not having number 11…. Time waits for no man I guess. Excited for the season to start.
7 Days until the @LAKings home opener!
ICYMI - The NHL changed the start time for the home opener on 10/6 to 7 PM! Please share to spread the word!
I’ll pick a random person who reposts this for 2⃣free tickets to Opening Night 👑
@kingsofthepod@mayorNHL There are several young defenseman that are ready or very close to ready to make the jump, but with all the long-term contracts on the blue line the kids just basically have to wait indefinitely in the AHL… what has to change to get any one of them meaningful nhl games?
@MrElkSpaghetti@kurri_jari He is exactly who you want on your team, and if he’s on the other team …you hate him with every cell in your body… happy he is on our team
🚨 TODD BEAMER, UNITED 93 PHONE CALL: "LET'S ROLL" 🇺🇸
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?
Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.
Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me? [They pray the Lord’s Prayer.] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me. Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

@daddykopitar They have two many wings and were talking about trading moore or someone else ??? They have enough guys… of course no one with fiala level offense but maybe it’s a chance for someone to step up… I don’t see them contending this year so whatever. Hope fiala heals fast
When I think about Barry Melrose this is always the first thing that pops into my mind. His bear hug on the Great One after his hat trick in Toronto that put the Kings in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time ever. 🥲 #GoKingsGo
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
