The Kings have outshot their opponents in 13 game straight and it’s by a MASSIVE margin, it’s not even close. 485 to 322, +163, +12.6 shots per game average. If they had even an average power play and penalty kill this would be a top 5 team in the league. The power play is 16% and the penalty kill is 73%, both among the worst in the league. It’s remarkable how strong they are when you start reviewing the data.

+20 tonight!
 
Calgary and Edmonton have 5 or 6 games in hand. Both teams are playing well. At some point we will have another losing streak. Kings must stay consistent if they want to make the playoffs. Crazy only 35 games left after the summer break. Going to be a crazy second half.
 
Even the Wings fans feel sorry for Byfield for having to play with those wingers.
Which goes back to what I said at the beginning of this thread. Why does QB have to play with Brown? He's got stone hands. Give him Iafallo or Arvy so that he has a chance to impress, but no, people had a beef with that. Whatever. Byfield can fly and with arvy or someone else on his wing along with AA, they could do some damage. Just saying.
 
It was a joke, heavily sarcasm laden, which is always a risky proposition on a message board.
Oh ok. Wasn't sure or not. I've already been disciplined lately. Don't want another one. It's not like I'll crawl into a hole and sink into deep depression if I get disciplined again, but you know, I want to stay off the naughty list.
 
Woah, chill man, there are kids on this site.

What I've noticed on the PP, other that the usual personnel complaints, is that they can move the puck around fine, but they hold onto it for way too long. It's like they wait until the D has adjusted before passing or taking a shot. The whole point of that movement is to generate one-timers or create space to get the puck in around the net and go for rebounds. They just hesitate so much. Too much mind.
 
Legit terrible signing. 6 years? At that price? While we have these many centers coming up? Way to show confidence in the prospects by taking playing time from them.

Time will tell if the signing was 1 year too long, but with Kopitar already slowing down I'd say at least in year 1 it's not holding any centermen back, yet...

He's also led the best line all season long. Any players on his line he's made better.

To me the bigger picture is that his leadership has been infectious with the entire team.

Him and the Lizotte line has been our identity and is why we are where we are.

Danault seems like Richards without all the baggage. Really like him.

Nice to see you've come around. :thumbu:
 
Martinez : Ok fighting Lemieux instantly makes him a fan favorite
Realgud : Fighting Lemieux is definitely a plus
Red Stanley : Gemel sucks at fighting. Lemieux's kid (who, incidentally, looks nothing like his dad ... the mailman says hi) handled him pretty easily. The great book of grudges says this wrong needs righting.
SoupNazi : f*** Lemieux.

The Red Wings hate for Claude lives!
 
So are the USMNT not going to make the World Cup again? Haven't been paying attention, but didn't they lose to Canada of all countries the other day. Aren't they done? That would be pretty damn embarrassing especially since they didn't make it 4 years ago. Yikes.

They won and should finish top 3 in the table and qualify for the WC with a win over Panama at home in March, but nothing is a given.

I did get to watch the ending of the Kings game, so a good night all around.

Nice!!! Did Pulisic even play been reading he's been underwhelming at Chelsea. Rumor has it he may transfer to another team.

He came off the bench in this match and scored probably 3 minutes after entering. Was dangerous in his 30 or so minutes. Chelsea are overloaded at forward. They've been rotating a high number of pricey players and none of them can really get in the groove. He's also been played out of position quite a bit for the coach to just get him game time.

On a game note, Danault is the team MVP this season. Elevates most of the folks he plays with.
