that little mentorship bit from patrick and army was pretty cool

i rag on the TV presentation a lot but props to army for being open like that

 

[Eagle Fang]

Andersson, Grundstrom and Vilardi having nice games but the young guy that keeps impressing me is Clauge.

 

[lumbergh]

This is exactly what I thought the vets could use as fuel this season, a little enthusiasm and a lot of youthful energy.

Something about Andersson’s story really makes me pull for him. Pretty much given up for dead, and here he is making a positive contribution on this team. Good for him.

 

[ibleedkings]

Hopefully the last we've seen of Wagner, Luff, etc.

 

[ru4reals]

perron is such a baby

Made me vomit when he hoisted the cup.

 

[HookKing]

Now all TM needs to do is take the next logical step and move GV to the halfwall on the top PP unit and put Kopi in front of the net.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Hopefully the last we've seen of Wagner, Luff, etc.

Luff, definitely.

Wagner still brings something, and it's not like this whole roster will be fully healthy.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Quick quietly putting together another strong performance as well.

 

[ibleedkings]

Luff, definitely.

Wagner has speed and that's about it.

 

[Sol]

Quick quietly putting together another strong performance as well.

He does look better this season than last. While Petersen has looked nothing special so far. Curious to see what happens down the line.

 

[Sol]

Wagner has speed and that's about it.

He was a bright spot last season. But with the talent now he's being outshined by the other forwards pretty easily.

 

[kilowatt]

I'm not trying to rag on Kopitar, but he's getting paid a boatload to be one of our best players out there. He's quietly racked up a bunch of points, but I can only think of two plays that have really impressed me for those points: the pass across the crease to Brown and the pass today to Lias.

The points are great, but what isn't great is that he's losing puck battles and can't handle passes and it's so out of character for him. If Kopitar needs to transform his game as he gets older, I'll be surprised if its more offense in exchange for less defense instead of the opposite.

 

[Telos]

Yikes, that was like the worst shot I've ever seen from Iafallo.

 

[tny760]

i reckon rookie goalies are gonna suffer the most from this layoff and broken up season

just can't replicate NHL shooters at NHL speed anywhere else

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

In my mock drafts Husso is the third goaltender chosen by Seattle Kraken

 

[ibleedkings]

He was a bright spot last season. But with the talent now he's being outshined by the other forwards pretty easily.

He was horrible last season. You are thinking of the one before.

 

[Telos]

Wow, wasn't expecting the Kings to be in this position when I missed the first two periods... Andersson has more goals than Alexis Lafreniere

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Lias had position

 

[Sol]

He was horrible last season. You are thinking of the one before.

Hard to differentiate between shitty seasons. Lol.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Hoffman is a cancer

Yeah. Points are great. But he doesn't look good. The points don't reflect his performance for sure. He's shown no dominance at all. Weak on the puck and even slower than before.

 

[Sol]

Where's the puck?

 

[KingTech]

Loving the blues announcers alot

 

[KingLB]

Definitely goalie interference. Even if Doughty eventually barreled him into quick.

 

[tny760]

i'm not sure that even crossed the line to be honest but it could maybe be called back on incidental contact if it did
