Gotta say, this feels a little tight. Kings and the other non-playoff teams would be returning what, right around now?

I don't even know how that would theoretically even work with the Stay at home order.
Do they enter a bubble?
Do they get an exemption?

Kings, Ducks and Sharks would have to relocate out of state I think. Might make sense to have all the CA teams share a bubble out of state. The 49ers are playing home games in AZ - but who knows where we’ll be at by January

Would Vegas be a location where the CA teams temporarily relocate to? Maybe Phoenix / Glendale?

the 7 teams likely will not get the extra week they wanted to skate/practice. Hopefully the players are skating on their own right now anyway.
What would really help is exhibition games but sounds like those maybe thrown out or only 1 or 2 for all.
Sucks but whatever, just happy to have it back.

How time flies with Quick. Lucky to have him at the time we needed him.

8-2. Last time kings scored 8 or more goals was 2016. :eek:

I remember that game quite well mainly just because of the circus we had with goaltenders and I remember the scoring 8 goals and really liking what I saw from Quick, but at the same time not thinking much of it because of the strong victory and we were just so far down our depth chart at that time. We played seven goalies that year and nearly four of them had double digits games played. All eyes were on Bernier and just to hold on with Barbs until he got there...

Thank God he didn't go the way of Adam Hauser. He was a victim of that 10-goal destruction the Sabres laid on the Kings.

Indoor v. outdoor is my guess. The Kings and Ducks were looking at hosting outdoor games when the season started, so that would make sense.

A long, proud tradition the Kings have of annihilating goaltending prospects with one game. Travis Scott, Dave Goverde, Ryan Bach, lots more I'm sure. But yeah, Hauser was a monster for the Monarchs. Such a shame he got ruined that way.

We sacrificed Adam Hauser's career so that Jonathan Quick could save us.

A lot of the guys have been on the ice together in LA practicing. Thats why Turcotte came home from Germany early, so he could join in with it. Kaliyev has been practicing in LA for a while also and Thomas and Dudas are now heading back from Germany also. From the various bits I’ve heard from various podcast interviews etc, it seems there is already a reasonably significant contingent practicing together in some sort of unofficial camp. It’s believed that’s why Craig Johnson hasn’t yet been officially announced as the Reign assistant (which is a done deal), as the promotion would mean he’s not allowed on the ice with the players as TSC.

I am concerned about Kopitar, you know he was rumored to eat all those cabbage rolls around Christmas that's why his production was so bad around the holidays.

Why?

Doughty's conditioning hasn't been an issue for well over a decade, and it clearly wasn't a problem for him then either.

I think Drew's conditioning could be better. It is pure paranoia on my behalf but Brown and Kopitars off years seem to coincide with when they have kids, Drew's daughter could be one and I could definitely see being a father distracting from training. I know it would for me. Probably not a fair call out, but i put it out there
