    Game Thread: G79 41-26-11 Kings vs Flames 4/11/24

    Have to be fair and call out Byfield as much as I've defended him in the past. Yes, he's been MIA and the "little things he does" don't count in the playoffs. That's not what his roll is. Lewis is the type of player that you rely on to do the little things. Having said that I was happy to...

    HE GONE

    Yes, Exactly. The Kopitar example is just a recent thing that bugged me at the time because they were not playing well and were lucky to be tied or up by one goal. I too don't mind celebrations but there's a time and place and how much. The lack of seriousness isn't the only issues either...

    HE GONE

    You know what bugs me? Kopitar celebrating his goal like it was his 1st career goal. The wooooooow etc. Look dude I'm all for goal celeys but when you're in the middle of a losing streak and do what you're already paid to do act like you've done it before. Reset go out and play your next...

    Game Thread: G69 35-22-11 Kings vs Wild 3/20/24

    I'm the last guy to defend Dubois but earlier in the game two Wild players went after Laferriere during a scrum. Dubois circled around to defend his rookie and the wild players decided to skate away. May have even been Faber and Middelton. Couldn't find the clip. I don't think going after...

    This should be posted somewhere so that it gets more eyes on it. Exactly spot on. I swear you used AI to write this ;-) Kidding of course. If I may just add one more point. The development team has gone way down since Blake took over also. Some of it wasn't his fault. Dusty Imoo posted his...

    Kempe W2W

    He 1st hurt his wrist last year just before the playoffs. Nothing was ever made of it but I remember a incident late in the year where someone on from the Oilers I think it was, challenged him to a fight out of the scrum and you can clearly read his lips saying "I can't.. wrist" and waving...

    Byfield

    Agreed fully. I'm not saying he's arrived. All I'm saying is that my expectations are not as high as some of you guys. My expectations for him this year was 15-20 goals and about 30 assists. He's about there. Next year however will be much more of a challenge for him. He's no longer going...

    Byfield

    This was from back in off-season. I mentioned that I expected to get at least 75 games and get 15-18 goals and 30-35 "points." I actually meant to say 30-35 assists. He's at the 18 goal mark and I full expect him to hit 25 goals by the end of the year. Needs 6 more assist to hit 30 so at...

    HE GONE

    Yeah I'm actually ok with him as an assistant. I must of misread that he was being considered as a head coach earlier. He was an edgy player and kind of had that same coaching style. Should be good fit as an assistant. As for head coach moving forward should Hiller not work out long term, I...

    HE GONE

    No he was recently fired as the coach of the Sens. Pretty much the same coaching style as Todd. Both former assistants to Babcock. I don't mind him as an assistant coach under Hiller for now but not as a full time head coach at any point.

    OT: Annoying Kings 1990+

    Anyone mention Sylvain Couturier yet? My choice is Maxim Kuznetsov. Puck started calling him CutsNutsOff after he stepped on the puck in game and fell like a sequoia.

    Please no DJ Smith. I'd rather have Craig Berube or even Gallant over Smith

    HE GONE

    Whomever ends up coaching this team moving forward, one thing systematically that needs to change is the man to man D zone coverage. The Kings play a man to man system in the D zone and that worked great for them under Sutter. It was mainly because they had the players to do it. The league is...

    Game Thread: G42 Trashhville @ 21-12-8 Kings 1/18/24

    I'll post this one time just to break the funk. We'll look back at this game as the one the Kings got back on winning streak. Prediction: Kings 3 Preds 1. They need to win a close game and not blow a lead.

    Laferriere has looked good since the rookie camp. I noticed him last year even. He make the team eventually. I'd say he'd make it this year if it wasn't for the cap issues. Unfortunately, I think he'll be sent down once Kaliyev's suspension is up. Other notable take aways from the last two...

    What I saw after the Hodgson hit scared me a bit. The completely scared shitless look on Clark's face as Stone grabbed and the way he was just holding onto Stone's left arm almost begging him to not hurt him was scary. Having said that I hope it's just because he (Clark) is coming off and...

    Rookie Faceoff live stream

    It was a rookie camp game but pretty fun to watch anyway. Pinelli and Laferriere both looked good. As did Chromiak and Helenius is a monster. Had a pretty good fight. On D this years 2nd round pick Dvorak also looked good. He was all over the ice and was pushing the play from the backend...

    Nickson used to do color on the simulcast with Miller back in the day. Then Nickson went on the Radio with Evans and Fox joined the TV crew. I remember when Fox first started. He was nervous and dealt with a bit of a speech impermeant. Fox has come a long away and has done a great job as one...
