Rumor: 2018-19 Kings News/Rumors/Tidbits

"We tried to confuse the other team."

Are you ****ing kidding me John.

It's a joke I would laugh at but instead it infuriates me because it's like this team has a few achilles heels that Stevens needs to solve and instead of solving them he mocks them.

Do your f***ing job and you won't get questioned you f***ing smug asshole.

 

[King'sPawn]

Next time buy ****ing ice cream if you want to confuse the opposition. Unbelievable.

When the PP was 0 for 3, maybe it was a good time to switch back to the original plan.

But don't waste **** time practicing the powerplay and then change things up to "confuse the opposition."

This isn't college football. Trying to confuse your opponents with trick plays just doesn't fly in the NHL.

It did work tho. The Kings were confused..

I wonder if its time to put Carter on the wing. Maybe we can dress something like
Iafallo-Kopi-Kovy
Wagner-Kempe-Carter
Pearson-Amadio-TooSlow
Clifford-JAD-Lewis

Muzzin-Doughty
Phaneuf-Martinez
Forbort-LaDue

I’d swap Wagner for Pearson. Amadio looks like he has chemistry with Wagner.

That was completely clear to me. Amadio knew exactly where to put the puck, you could tell they've spent time together. I would go:

Iafallo-Kopi-Kovy
Pearson-Kempe-Toffoli
Watson-Amadio-Carter

Primarily because it would force Stevens to spread out the ice time so guys have plenty of energy for special teams.

Must of missed those games, but I do like your change better than mines. + Pearson is more equipped for the bigger minutes

f***in figures he was right there in the pile.. glad he didn't get hurt

Well good morning my dear Kings fans.Interesting loss I must say. Same issues are apparently not fixed or the holes in roster.Maybe Steven's can get himself fired or Blake can fix the roster somehow. I dont see much improvement of this roster as of yet.I know,we got guys hurt,but looking at the active roster not much improvement.
Go Kings Go!

"We tried to confuse the other team."

Are you ****ing kidding me John.

Stevens needs to pull his head out of his ass with a quickness

 

[Herby]

Phaneuf-Fatenberg will lose us games.

Watching Phaneuf on Friday and it's hard to be optimistic about where this is headed. If Blake and Luc still believe this team can contend, then they have a big problem on their hands because there are a handful of teams in the Western Conf. that are going to just eat this guy alive with speed in a playoff series.

I realize Phaneuf was never going to be mistaken for Paul Coffey, but it's pretty crazy how slow he looks.

Did you even watch the game? Get lost, game could have went either way.

That wasn't Jeff Carter nor Kovalchuk.

He meant thanks for the donation as in betting.

Phaneuf was clearly the better half of that though and our 4th best d-man at worst. He's slow, but he's very effective. His biggest problem is he's going to have to play with someone ineffective like Fantenberg or Forbort and he's not Drew Doughty to make them look good.

oh, thought i heard russian so it made sense it was him

betting on conor in that fight though? cmon jeff..

 

[KingCanadain1976]

 

[KINGS17]

...and so it begins. As these guys get older, injuries will be more frequent.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

And there it is.

 

[Cook24]

Anderson dolan and Ladue in for Wagner and Fantenberg apparently.

f***ing stupid Stevens. Wagner was one of our best players the other night... ladue should be in for Fantenberg though...

 

[tny760]

welp those bits of news just ruined any shred of hope i had

 

[Bandit]

"We tried to confuse the other team."

Are you ****ing kidding me John.

Well, to be fair he did confuse the other team. Fortunately for them they didn't have to do anything about it because Stevens neutralized the Kings PP all on his own.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Welp.

Rapidly losing hope between things we can't really control--injuries--and things we can and are self inflicted--like lines, PP.

 

[Bandit]

Wagner has multiple breakaways and glorious scoring chances... bench him. Stevens is lost.

 

[tny760]

honestly though, that's an incredible way to break a young player's confidence

put him on the big stage, he has multiple breakaways against a contender, now tell him he's not good enough to play one of the worst teams in the league
