Lemieux cracks me up

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Kane got baited

 

[Sol]

Yup, a lot are, and I couldn't disagree more.

The AHL is not a league for high-end (top 5 type) players to spend an entire season in.

Don’t know why our fan base has that archaic mentality still when that route with our recent top prospects have not worked out at all. Byfield doesn’t look too good. Hope they bring Clarke up soon too and not have him waste away in obscure competition

 

[Bandit]

We can’t possibly lose to Mike smith can we? Yes our powerplay will guarantee it.

 

[AbsentMojo]

serious question: when did linesmen become little hitlers in the circle?

 

[Sol]

Kopitar has literally blown so many good opportunities

 

[unicornpig]

2 weeks off and you run the same personal, and you get the same result on the pp

power tripping.

 

[funky]

Put Byfield and Kaliyev on the first PP. need a major shake up.

at this point Maatta is a better player than Brown

no killer instinct on our shooters.

 

[tny760]

gotta love how the aggressive movement and passing lasted 1 whole power play then they go right back to holding

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Ain't nothing changed, same players, same PP. Having better movement for 2 minutes means nothing

 

[Sol]

I thought sucker punched had steeper penalties especially between refs

 

[tny760]

no killer instinct on our shooters.

big fan of whoever had that puck at the top of the crease with smith swimming and decided the pass up to the point was the play

 

[lumbergh]

If there’s one thing Lemieux knows, it’s how to fold like a house of cards when appropriate.

 

[AbsentMojo]

power tripping.

When did it creep into the game? it used to be very rare to kick a guy out and blow down a stolen faceoff.. was just part of the game.. now these little trudeaus think they own the game - their little 15 seconds of fame?

 

[Little Psycho]

You have to change up the lines on PP cos they all doing the same shit again

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Not even mad, that pulling the puck out of the air in stride by McDavid was a best-in-league play.

 

[Bandit]

They’ve been running the same personnel for 10 years, you expect it to change now?

You gotta give Byfield a chance. He needs more time.

 

[Herby]

Adrian Kempe alone at the top of the circles...passes to a player behind the goal-line. The Oilers broadcast was basically laughing at it.

Well this is a big 3rd period for the Kings.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

LOL at any Byfield criticism tonight. How many times does he have to hit his wingers in the stick to get out of the zone? His only options are 1. Give it to Brown, watch it go through his blade; 2. Give it to AA, watch him spin away from it; 3. Give it to Maatta, instant turnover; 4. Give it to Roy, 50/50 chance; 5. Dump it out himself.

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

To my eye, uneducated as it is, we are making one too many passes.

SHOOT. THE . DAMN. PUCK

 

[Sol]

I love Kopitar but the second he retires our PP will have much better stats undoubtedly. The guy wastes so much time, slows down the play so much on the PP , and over passes a ton. Doughty, Kopitar, and Brown are powerplay cancer.

 

[tny760]

lucic got 2, a game mis and a game suspension for this one

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Not a damn thing has changed over the break. The problems are still the problems. Brown somehow got older instead of refreshed. AA still has no idea hockey is played with teammates. Maatta is back to his original form. The PP is overpassing. The shooters have no killer instinct. TM still cannot adjust. Kopitar on pace for 23 minutes, Byfield 10 with anchors. Doughty might play 30, and Maatta more than Durzi and Bjornfot.
