God I wish Lou Brown was our manager.

 

[YAYSAY]

Kupari looks great and Villardi has been very effective defensively. Our first line is horrible.

 

[ru4reals]

Villardi looking good defensively imo

He's actually looked great so far. That line of Byfield, Kupari and Vilardi have been decent together.

 

[kinghock]

Durzi could have made that a simple defensive play.

Durzi do not have fast feet…

Kupari looks great and Villardi has been very effective defensively. Our first line is horrible.

Keep them intact just move them to the 3rd line, move the 2nd to 1st and 3rd to 2nd. Then Kempe and Iafallo can grind and Kopi can play Browns role

and that's with Byfield next to useless.

 

[RaymondReddington]

Byfield's line getting double shifted. This is the apocalypse. LOL.

C'mon.. how frustrating is it that us bunch of jamokes have been calling for a line like this for I don't know forever, and it's the best line on the ice against a best team in the league with the Kings short staffed.

So F'ing frustrating

 

[Little Psycho]

He just a kid...

 

[Cheech89]

Put 55 out there on PP for God's sake. What the hell could be worse

56 can’t hold onto to the puck yet

 

[HookKing]

He just a kid...

Sure, other than Maata.

 

[ru4reals]

He just a kid...

Wait is Maatta not playing too?

 

[Cheech89]

Wait is Maatta not playing too?

Bjornfoot has more games with the kings… that’s what that says. Not more games in nhl.

 

[Little Psycho]

Sure, other than Maata.

Nope it says most games with the kings

 

[RaymondReddington]

56 can’t hold onto to the puck yet

Neither can anyone else on PP1. Maybe just maybe he gets a little more confident with more ice available.

Come to think of it, isn't open ice his strength?
Hmmm

I can barely read this thread. This update is horrible. It keeps jumping all over the page.

Oooops got it my bad. Read it wrong.

 

[kinghock]

I think Kopitar is hurt.

I think Kopitar is finished

 

[KingsHockey24]

This team needs Jordan Nolan.

 

[redcard]

I mean we're not losing by 13 so I guess it's ok

It was his strength against 15 yr old kids. Not sure what his strength is in the NHL. Back checking ?
I’ve seen him leave the puck behind while stick handling in open ice more times than I can count this year.

best line so far

Not to mention sometimes a post stays forever in the box after its already posted.

 

[Schmooley]

The young guys are playing well. I just wish one of them would throw the body a bit. The team would get a nice boost if Byfield used his size a bit or Durzi rocked Bennett.

 

[Little Psycho]

So for third period...

 

[Mats26]

I think Kopitar is finished

After Brown, Kopi is the next vet corpse we need to bury, especially with that cap hit. Not sure he will make it for 2 more years, he looks done.
