I hate they consider points so heavily for a defenseman. Karlsson is a F, its pathetic he has multiple Norris

They need two awards, they have for decades. When guys like Stevens won it, true two way defenders. Guys like Karlsson, just rovers.

And of course he gets the prinary assist...

Figures,

We knew it was coming, they've done well on this road trip - 5/8 points so far. I said 10/14 would be be awesome, onto the Flyers.

Buster 0/0, -1. I think it's safe to say his season is a bust. We are coming up on 50% of the season, this guy needs to get anything going because otherwise he's black Trevor Lewis who makes $850,000 a year.

The Kings did not shell out $6.25 million for that. Man did he snow the Kings last season. There is no one who can justify him, sorry X. Dude just stinks.

Had to grab my daughter. Didn't see the 3rd or OT. Pens just outplayed them?

And I saw mention of Rittich? Kuemper get hurt again?

All Pens most of the 3rd and OT, if Kuemper didnt make some good saves there wouldnt have been OT....some of those Kuemper saves were "big save Dave" like, but thats as close to playing as Dave got

Sure looked like the Kings ran out of gas in the third, credit to the Penguins for turning it up. This is where playing 3.67 lines hurts you with the 11/7, taxing. Jill's record using it is good though overall however but now and again four lines is needed.

Kuemper kept them in the game, made some good saves. Turcotte looked solid not including the goal, some guys passengers as has been the case.

Kings now 0-4 in OT, there was a time it seemed automatic they'd win the record was so good. And I have no idea why Dunno keeps being put out there in that situation.

I like Dunno, but he should be the 3rd C....he is perfect for that roll IMO, can shut down and has offensive flashes here and there. Last season he was outperformed offensively by PLG and that was with all the added TOTM assists he got. Unfortunately Buster cant do either 2 or 3 C and there is no options currently

Danault is a good shutdown guy against anyone except McDavid. Not that anyone can really stop McDavid but the big plan to run Danault against him last few years didn't work. Climaxing in Hyman laying him out and allegedly breaking both his hands.
