I’m just trying to figure out what’s wrong with my brain that I’m still watching this.

This board has turned into more of a support group for me.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Garbage Line.

 

[ru4reals]

Jeez Frk one game and hurt again. When it rains it pours.

"Carter's been invisible," I say, as Amadio and Wagner wander aimlessly in the neutral zone.

 

[Lt Dan]

He's Frking hurt again?

 

[The Butcher]

I thought Carter was supposed to be all healthy and revved up this year.

At what point is the 11 million dollar defenseman going to put this team on his back and carry them through a couple wins?

There was a point i would have been pretty star struck if I ran into either of these guys, now I'm not sure i could look either in the eye anymore.

A live look at Frk explaining his injury to the trainers during this absolute nightmare of a game:

I just watched it again and it didn't look good. Non contact it looked like, right knee possibly. Poor guy.

The difference in passing between the two teams is staggering. Every Vegas pass is crisp and clean. The King can't even hit the stick.

Yeah, he was skating fine, stopped at the boards, then skated off in pain.

Sheesh. Just one of those years.

I’d say it’s harder to stay hungry after you’ve won. Either way I don’t consider never winning success, don’t care how close they got.

Again, I just think that's very easy for us to say after we saw the Cups. Take thew Cups away, and we'd be begging for what the Sharks were able to do. How often were they this close to losing in 2014? Don't even give me the Rangers, since the Kings needed 3 OT games at home to beat them in 5.

Boston, every damn year, still good. Their top vets, won the Cup, still good, every damn year. Maybe that's more on management, but it never fails.

 

[kilowatt]

Atta boy Wags, nice to break the shutout.

 

[Bandit]

Lol. So glad I stayed.

 

[kingsboy11]

Nice goal by Wagner

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Waiver fodder gets the goal.

 

[ru4reals]

Seattle haven't even started playing and they're already up in the series between the two teams. No words.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Wags

 

[The Butcher]

And the Kings score a goal!! And the Kings score a goal!! And the Kings score a goal!!

Well, that's a good thing -- if you're going to tank might as well go all in.
Kings are incredibly lucky with division re-alignment. Imagine if the Pacific was still a thing. Only Vegas doesn't completely suck. Even better, we may have an extra year to evaluate talent in the upcoming draft.

 

[kilowatt]

I still think Wagner - Lizotte - Grundstrom would be a decent fourth line.

 

[ru4reals]

He still sucks!!!

 

[bland]

I’m just trying to figure out what’s wrong with my brain that I’m still watching this.

The way I see it, the individual games don't matter. I am happy knowing that they are moving in the right direction after begging for them to start rebuilding since 2016. I know they aren't going to be competitive so I tend to watch the games differently. I like to focus on just one player per shift and ignore the puck, see how they read and react. Makes it tolerable to think of it as a process and not a game

LMFAO!!!
