Kempe with a team leading -4 tonight. When are they going to realize he’s not a center? He looks so lost when he’s trapped in his own zone.
Kovalchuk has turned the puck over at the top of the circles on a consistent basis since joined the team. I am no Kempe defender, but when you have an absolutely worthless one way winger, ain't no center gonna succeed when you are constantly chasing the opposition.

Kovalchuk should just stick to cherry picking. That entire line is dreadful as a trio, and Kempe doesn’t have the brains or the ability to center any top six line. Not even sure what Jeff Carter is good for anymore. Those three make up the worst line on the roster.

Whether good or bad, pond hockey is more entertaining for average fans.

If the NHL is trying to attract "Average Fans" they will fail. Hockey has been a niche sport since it's creation. There are only so many Canadians and Americans don't care to watch, and are watching less and less sports. Euro's watch Soccer and always will.

Henrik Sedin baptized Horvat? Quite the hobbie to pick up during retirement

Here's the kind of game where I think Clifford is a failure in his role. It's too common in his Kings career.

Would you fight knowing you're one concussion away from ending your six figure salary ? The man has a family to feed, and now the league values production more than toughness and fighting.
