i would expect a lot more out of kempes 5th year in the league....

This board nitpicks Kempe too much. Guy is playing a good game. He has pushed the puck up almost every shift.

You must be drinking the same lingonberry martinis Kempe has in his water bottle.

 

[tny760]

If true, then we can expect that he will be moved to the top line with Kopitar.

thy will be done

 

[YAYSAY]

3rd line has been solid defensively, especially considering they've had hard match ups all season

 

[tny760]

Thanks for the jinx Faust.

he made me think though, he said "that will count as a shot on goal" when they flipped it in on the delayed offside, is that even true?

like how hasek let that puck through intentionally, that technically denied a shot on goal by allowing a goal that would be disallowed?

 

[Holden Caulfield]

why don't you like Lemiuex? Because he's not a Canadien?

Is he not? I thought he was canadian? Hes a mouthy little shit who crosses the line to much to me. I dont find he has enough to skill to back it up. Find him to be a mostly negative player that takes far too many penalties and lacks any skill. Maybe hes smartened up in LA but I dont think hes an NHLer.

9 Points in 14 games... 5 goals on 5v5... 2nd on the team with 25 hits... 58% Corsi For...

What more do you want from a 5th year player who is a middle 6 forward on a contending team?

I'll give you that. But he needs to calm down. He's jittery out there tonight.

Kings we’re like 0-5 without him so if he’s not an NHLer I’m not sure what it says about the rest of the team.

Anytime a goalie has to stop a puck coming from the other team that otherwise would have gone into the goal, it is considered a shot on goal.

While funny, the Pens also have a better record without Crosby than with over his career. Doesnt say anything about skill to me.

 

[HookKing]

Jets with 12 SOG.

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

Kings are a different team with Lemieux in the lineup. Love him or hate him, he has a big impact on the attitude that we play with.

 

[kingsboy11]

I do think we're too hard on Kempe at times, but tonight the pucks dying on his stick

 

[tny760]

interesting, makes sense though

got me trying to think of other situations where stats data can change when a play is on a delayed call.. like obviously you can score a goal on a delayed call but would you be banged with a giveaway for giving the other team the puck on a delayed penalty to extend the man advantage?

i should take naps before games more often

Skill no, but he’s clearly and important piece of the team who is largely heartless and ballless without him.

I dont think any team has an identity from a 4th liner. So I dont buy it. While I might not be 100% updated on all the current Kings, that opinion doesnt change for me.

He gives the team actual heart. They're so much more passive and submissive without him. He seems like a great teammate too, looks like he's always having a good time with the guys and is always the most expressive.

I’m not saying it make s a lot of sense but anyone who has watched every kings game this year can back me up. Team was lifeless with him out.

Everything I've heard is he is a terrible teammate. In the minors he in WPG he was described to me by a teammate as a "f***ing moron". Was not well liked.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Oh man, what a switch by Anderson communicating w Bjornfot to break up the developing 2 on 1

 

[bland]

Schiefele, man, that dude has been brutal tonight

what do you expect him to pull a rabbit out of his ass?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Man if Dustin Brown threw that hit we’d already have a 10 page thread

 

[Little Psycho]

Roy thinks he's Doughty or something?
