Fair winds and following seas Nikolai.
4 balanced lines. Speed throughout. Guys in the lineup will step up. Grundy will punish. Torment Perry and Kane. No penalties. Wear them down.

I actually don’t dislike this,If you wanted to go by analytics, these would be the optimal line combos based on xGF%
Kempe-Kopitar-Arvidsson
Moore-Danault-Laferriere
Fiala-Dubois-Byfield
Lewis-Lizotte-Thomas
Grundstrom
Relatively small sample sizes though.
That smirkyou guys keep forgetting our guys are all the smartest in the room
What gets me is folks saying that 11 and 8 "know how to win" and "know what it takes to win the cup". The reality is that they haven't won jack squat without Carter, Williams, Richards, Mitchell, Greene, Stoll, Regehr and Brown. They haven't won a single playoff series being "the Guys". Just because they won 10 years ago does not make them winners per say. Both HOF players, but neither has that "it" factor some of the names above carry with them when it comes to playoff hockey. It's time they show up. Action speaks louder than words.
Do it for Santiago, Veektor, and Granma’s beans!
We.re not even going to look, byeeee!some of you need to remember 1982.... you guys have the same type of team
Grundstom recalled from his conditioning loan the timing of which I presume means his activation is imminent. Dell also recalled. Is that 4th one? Does it now mean Clarke only gets called up as an emergency due to injury? I’ve lost track of the recall situation at this point. If I’m right on Clarke that feels very shortsighted unless they themselves have low expectations and think he’s better off in the Calder Cup.
Can’t wait for these lines to not work AGAIN
Good God that bottom 6 is ugly, Fiala with Lewis and Lizotte? Wtf. And not having a dedicated 4th line who does typical 4th line duties is just stupid
Sup boys and gals
I’m on the kings train against the oilers so will be rooting for you guys to make it to round 2
Always have a soft spot for the kings myself as I’m sure some of you may recall from many years bandwagoning past…including your cup years… I personally feel LA has better depth vs Oilers but that’s just my opinion
Re PLD… I think Dubois will show up for the playoffs…historically he’s done better the bigger the stage. He was hot and cold vs Vegas last year and was a no show when they eliminated the Jets but his first game vs Vegas…he dominated his shifts
I’m surprised you guys are still down on him…he’s had some solid stats last few games I thought?
That center depth is pretty solid…
How would you guys do the lines? Look good to me (again - I’m an outside here )
He said he expected him to be ready.
It's a subtle distinction but an important one I think.
"Do you expect Carl Grundstrom to be ready (inadaudible) in the lineup?"
Hiller - I do. I do. I expect him to be ready yea ready to go.
Hiller’s reponse is crazy. Fiala is the only player on that line with offense. Can’t wait for it to get exposed
The only reason he should be in the lineup is if he’s going to throw his body.

Clarke's defense was not worthy in the regular season, why set him up for failure in the hard hitting playoffs?
He will stay in Ontario barring injuries on D.
No bueno, on paper but, the coaches may be very fluid with which line is actually #3 or #4.
Maybe a chip on the shoulder and a skilled linemate will ignite something.
They are going to need depth scoring for any chance against the Oinklers, anyway so ,
I see the chess move here.
Having Dell with the team and not with the Reign seems, like an unusual move.
Maybe they are going to go for three rolls of the dice if needed, for a shot at a good roll.
Not really, they know they will have to do something drastic and are going for it.
The same old, same old ain't gonna get it done here.
Thanks for the input.
Dubois - Kopitar - Kempe
Arvidsson - Dubois - Moore
Fiala - Byfield - Laferriere
Grundstrom - Lizotte - Lewis
Just out of curiosity, how did you end up on the Kings' board. I was expecting the Father or the Son before the HolyGhost
Who is that bowling ball helmet guy in your avatar pic? He has Kelly Buchberger vibes but i cant place him.As a Buffalo fan I pick a team every playoff to support and this year it is you guys
The Kings should hire an AI to be their next coach. Those are the line combos it would come up with.I actually don’t dislike this,
Oh I thought you were an Oinklers troll.You guys beat the oilers.

Yeah, but he's never coached or scouted professionally. What does he know?Gotta love that Paul Bissonette was all in on the Kings going deep at the start of the season. He’s now picking Oilers in 5. Even he’s seen enough.
It entirely depends on how Dubois is playing.What lineup would you ice?
Maybe this’ll mean he’s less likely to do dumb shit against the kings. Also, surprised they revealed this.
This is why you don't want to break up the Byfield-Kopitar-Kempe line.
If PLD is playing well you don't have to.
SHIT
FOR
BRAINS
Ya, why would they reveal this? dont think it effects anything the Kings do, not like you can target inside the groin.. edit: meaning dont see it as disinformation to effect the LAK strategy
Please take an Uber.
