The Kings have big decisions to make this offseason, so who stays and who goes?
There’s little to no doubt that there will be changes for the Kings next season — potentially major ones.
This isn’t lost on a core that has mostly been together through two Stanley Cup runs and some of the...
Absolute bullshit!
Kings and NHLPA should appeal immediately.
The man has served his punishment time AND has been unable to make at a living at his profession in the league he is qualified to play in for almost 4-1/2 years.
Totally ridiculous and un-American.
Muzzin (Part 2)
Muzzin had to evolve again once he hit the AHL. Muzzin admits that as ready as he was physically for the NHL, he wasn’t mentally prepared for the transition from junior to pro.
“He was trying to play the game like he always played the game, but against better players,” said...
From Woodstock to Toronto: The remarkable journey of Jake Muzzin
WOODSTOCK, Ont. – As the Greater Toronto Area disappears in your rearview mirror, Highway 401 toward Woodstock, Ont., flattens out.
Only a few barns and fields of untouched snow dot the landscape. As the city of 40,000 draws...
With Lose 4 Hughes (and how will the Kings will blow this 3rd period lead? or how many empty nets did the Kings miss tonight?) the only interesting things left about this season, I was looking back at old drafts.
In '08 Kings take Doughty 2nd in 1st round, then Voynov 2nd in 2nd round---damn...
You guys may already know this but I just read this for the first time...
Vegas is exempted from the Seattle expansion draft!!!!! WTF WTF WTF WTF
This means they don't have to worry about protecting players because they aren't going to lose any.
This is UNBELIEVABLE.
It can also lead to a...
Per Twitter:
@FriedgeHNIC said earlier on pregame before jets game he expects Carl Hagelin to be traded to Washington for Jaskin and a 3rd round pick tomorrow
[Sorry about Thread title mistake...didn't know how to edit it after posted]
Absolute bullshit on goalie interference call.
Other teams do exactly that in front of Quick all the time with no goal disallowed.
Also, let's see what the league does NOT do to Saint Karlsson re: Wagner concussion hit.
I was pushing hard for the Kings to acquire Jeff Skinner this off-season. Natural goal-scorer.
The sumbitch has 7 goals for Buffalo.
On the other hand, the Kings system would probably hold him to 16 all season.
Kings are the equivalent of Dean Smith at North Carolina, the only guy who could...
Through 2 periods, 2-0. Both MN goals by guys with 1st of the year.
If I didn't know this season is real I would think it was another tortuous SNL satire skit.
Unbelievable what has happened to this team.
(Coach has to be fired this week if this continues)
11. Gabriel Vilardi, C, Los Angeles
Skating: 45
Puck Skills: 60
Physical Game: 60
Hockey sense: 65
Vilardi is one of the better players outside the NHL. He has the unique combination of being a high-end playmaker and tough to handle physically. He’s big, strong and can make fantastic passes...
NHL farm system rankings: No. 10 Los Angeles Kings
By Corey Pronman Aug 20, 2018 74
Corey Pronman’s deep dive into the farm system of every NHL organization includes a ranking of all of the team’s prospects, broken into tiers based on their projection; the impact on the upcoming season...
Long before goaltenders Jack Campbell and Jonathan Quick became teammates with the Kings, Campbell’s former team, the Dallas Stars gave him a homework assignment.
They suggested Campbell study the nuances of Quick’s game, on the grounds that there were parts of Quick’s style that he could adapt...
13. Gabe Vilardi, C, 18 (Los Angeles Kings — 11th overall, 2017)
Vilardi is one of those rare players who you don’t really notice much in a game and then you look at the boxscore at the end of the night and he’s got a goal and an assist. He’s Evan Bouchard… but a forward. During his draft year...
0 goals & 5 assists last 28 games. And that includes time playing with McJesus.
He is signed for 5 more years @ 6m cap hit per year.
Oilers are so cap-screwed
From Elliotte Friedman's 31 thoughts column (2/13/18):
21. Edmonton has three forwards in important roles without a goal in almost 20 games: Michael Cammelleri, Milan Lucic and Ryan Strome.
Kings doing what they did all last year, trying to blast puck past goalies rather than deking and making moves or passing to the open man. So frustrating.
