Yeah Vilardi nearly made goal of the year rankings, sheesh

Honestly Strand is looking like the guy he was in juniors, assertive all over the place

Strand is 24 in a week. He's getting to that now or never territory.

So Valardi was hooked 3 times breaking through the sharks defense, and nothing was called? Then the phantom slash and its a penalty? The refs are awful tonight.

If he was some small guy and fell over himself and cried like some other players, he probably would have got the call.

for real, give up on the puck and toe pick, he probably gets it.. his fault for wanting the goal too much i guess.

Doughty made an arguably worse one just seconds before, haha.

I don't think it was so much a 'bad play' as a bad result. If that shot/pass goes through or he just carries it into the corner, we're fine. Even if it doesn't get through and even one of the forwards has some awareness to hustle back, we're fine. Full breakdown.

Just a bad bounce the way the puck went off the boards . I 've seen him do that tons of times before, and never happen like that.

I'm packing it in...got a early morning wake up call! Good Luck to the Kings wishing for a few more goals scored for Kings side...Carter maybe Clague,Vilardi...while Petersen and the defense Shut-The-Front-Door!!!

Right, but ask any of us two weeks ago and we feel pretty firmly he's in 'never' territory, extremely longshot. He looks better in the NHL than the AHL.

I think too much emphasis is placed on sliding the ELC over developing prospects. Especially with regards to high end players, sometimes it can be beneficial to get through the ELC and lock them up before they break out. Pasta is a great example of this.

I agree, especially on a defensemen.

Not only that, but if you potentially have Byfield/Turcotte/AK making the team next year, that is way to many ELC's coming off at once. Could be just as risky to have 4 potential raises happening in one year.

24 YO little known prospect plays so well Kings end up keeping him around...

I like how that story has played out the last few years.

 

[Docgonzo]

Kings sure do a lot of weak backhand passes right inside their zone or right into the neutral zone.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Wooooo!

 

[Nickster]

Sweet Anderson-Dolan

 

[Telos]

What a f***ing play!

 

[fsanford]

Let the kids play!!!!

 

[KingLB]

What line is that?

They pass like they’ve been together forever!

 

[Sleeping Dog]

JAD looks like a keeper!!

 

[Sol]

Please post that. KARLSSON turnover in the main boards. Please be petty. Please.

 

[Bandit]

This line gives me a boner.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Elite defenseman Erik Karlsson.

 

[tny760]

man EK is absolutely horrified of contact

that was a bad move

 

[AzKing]

Better not even think about touching that forward line. Let that chemistry keep building.

 

[Bandit]

Please post that. KARLSSON turnover in the main boards. Please be petty. Please.

I wish I had video to gif capabilities.

 

[jfont]

Do not break up that "4th" line

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Innocent looking play...Grundstrom gets an assist with JAD goal,great!

 

[kingsboy11]

what a a great team goal by that line!! That line has earned it tonight
