Another year, another season opener where Jonathan Quick is all anyone can talk about. At least this time he managed to make it through all 60 minutes in one piece! Thank you, hockey gods!
All American hero Trevor Lewis got the game winning goal, and for a long stretch, had the game’s only goal. Props to Michal Neuvirth who was fantastic and probably deserved a better fate. Fortunately for LA, lady luck was on their side for a change (postseason flukes notwithstanding).
Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, the Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers were very close all game.
