Next on the depth chart - 43 or Matty?!?


Probably Matty, my meniscus isn't fully healed. Plus I am trying to convince the Jackets to shoot Korpisalo out of the cannon.



Also: Fuck Jeff Carter.

Duh, because playing forward is SO MUCH EASIER



Seriously, though... the drop off of physical skills is pretty sharp. Muscle memory goes away so much faster for goalies. Your brain knows what to do, but your body just can't. It sucks.

I can't blame them.

I always assumed that a big part of the difference was not just how the body betrays you but that when my body betrays me as a forward nowadays it still usually doesn't result in the opposition doing Fortnite dances.

Looks like the Kings' awful season just got another kick. Losing your top 2 goalies is never good.

Have a funny feeling Tristan Jarry will be going to LA for a D-man. Only if they would take Jack Johnson with him.:hope:
