No reason Kings lose

4-1 Kings, kuz, fiala, dunnox2

Sorry for being long winded

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Beat me too it, was out running around with Junior II. Stopped at Kohls, there's like 15 people in line and two checkers. Crap like that just irks me, we waited almost 25 minutes just to get up to the counter. They had staff available, call someone up and open another lane, geez.

I had a long winded post for this one with information but no need, Kings win 4-1. Fiala, Kempe, Jeannot and Turcotte. That's right, two B6 goals. Going out on a limb today.

And for you foodies, smash burgers and salad for me and the kids. Happy now?

I dont have interesting factoids like puck

Pizza for us

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Do you have any good - I mean GOOD - pizza by the slice places near you? I got nuttin near me, the best was a place called Eureka Pizza on the other side of town I'd go to if I was on that area but sadly he closed doors in November.

He just couldn't make it the last year financiall, was there since 2016 - great food and service. Owned by a Greek family so they had authentic Greek food on the menu too which was cool.

I did get a wild hair up my ass and on a whim decided to drive to NoCal back in August for a 3 day excursion and I ended up in Tracy and ate at Hella Pie Pizza Company which was freaking awesome. Sure I traveled 400 some miles just because but worth it.

The only other place I'd consider is Rosa's Pizza in Placentia, it isn't super great but better than the standard Lamppost or whatever slices. Owned by an Asian family too, go figure.

11 shot attempts, 0 on goal, half of the first over. Hope it isn't the proverbial trap game after a huge emotional win over the Caps.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Good lord this PP is so painful to watch...

 

[Kings4OT]

Jeannot and Turcotte.

Jeannot has been disappointing for the most part, I dont mind him on the team but only for a huge paycut. Just a big body but not bringing much else...he wanted to be tough to play against but im not seeing that.

Turcotte, looks ok on line 4 and that line working better....but he needs to figure it out fast.

We have 3 or 5 gourmet pizza places that think they are great but....meh. no real good pizza places, but a few decent ones.

He seemed tougher to play against at the beginning of the season, when it was him, Byfield and Laferriere he had a stretch for a bit where he was effective. Scored a few goals too but as soon as he was taken off that line his play dropped.

He's a good deterrent to have but agreed, unless he takes a massive pay cut I wouldn't mind seeing someone else in that role with the dollars.

Turcotte, looks ok on line 4 and that line working better....but he needs to figure it out fast.

It's because he's playing exactly where he should be, B6. He isn't a T6 player. I don't care what people say about him, he has a motor but that's about it. Screams energy line player to me which is disappointing for a 5OA.

 

[Kings4OT]

Nogoal, i didnt want him but hes been probably t3 in consistent play. But my big gripe with him is ill timed penalties in the PO, usually bad penalties ....so hopefully thats not the case

Sirico's inside NYNY in Vegas is a must have when I go, but I haven't been there since 2018. Planning a trip soon though so I'll stop for sure, closest thing to NY style I've had anywhere. Pricy (two slices and a beer, $35) but I'll gladly spend that.

I'd love to have an authentic pizza place around here but we have jack and I'm not a fan of the usual suspects like Pizza Hut and what not.

He's arguably been Bowlby's best UFA signing to date. Heavy player, good hands, he's got some deceptive skill. I haven't seen a Kings player go to the paint as much or as consistently as he has this season.

I was skeptical at first but we will see what he does in the POs.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

TOTM with a prime chance and he passes it, WTF is wrong with these guys? Take the freaking shot.

 

[Kings4OT]

Usually say this about the Kings....but Preds lucky to be 0-0

 

[PuckinUgly57]

I think both teams lucky it's 0-0, but the Preds played solid last night in a 2-1 loss to Anaheim. Watched that game and they were all over but Dostal just slammed the door on them every time.

The effort was there, Kings will need to step it up. Playing down to their competition is their specialty.

Stamkos practice with LA over the summer?

 

[davnlaguna]

Fanduel bet:
Will the kings make 10 shots by the end of the game?

Buster still credited with 3A

That’s a parlay bet along with Preds get a shutout.
All three happen your $100 bet nets you $111 before fees

Hadn't turned out as expected for sure, almost none of their FA spending did. I had them pegged for a deep run.
