Would love to go back in time to the deadline and get another player or two, not stars or anything, but maybe a guy who can play a middle 6 role better than our in-house options which are all awful.

There were some interesting options moved at the deadline for little capital. Nick Paul, Blackwell, Sturm/jost(who were traded for eachother), hell even a Deslaurier reunion could have been fun.
 
Why does it seem like Quick gives up an early soft goal every now and again
Without that goal I think the Kings could have won.
Also I must say this is the first play off game that the Oilers were not overly dirty. Not saying either sides were saints today but nothing over the top other than the cup check.
 
Dude…….

Wtf. I said you guys were good people…‘I’m hurt

Lol jk!! Until we win anything I agree!!

Are you a whiskey man? I had a lot of wisers deluxe!! My wife said I’m on the couch tonight

Have you tried the Gretzky whisky? I've tried his wine, but haven't picked up a bottle of his whisky and have been intrigued.

Easy. 7th defenseman. It’s not like he’s got 6 goals right now.

The Kings have a strong defensive system, I just don't know if you mess with that rotation by adding a 7th guy. Spence struggled in this series and Bjornfot was so bad in the 2nd half he fell down to like 8 or 9 on the depth chart.

It'll probably be what has happened recently. AA and Vilardi are switched for each other each time one of them has a bad game.
 
If we score first in Edmonton I say we have a chance if we don't it's not looking good.
 
If Byfield turns into a massive bust then this Kings team might be the pinnacle for the near future. Damn near the entire core is at or past their peak right now, if there is no game breaker joining to meet the decline of the core.
If Byfield busts - the only recourse would be free agent signings which Blake seems to be doing well at. The 2, 5 and 11 picks are right now looking very bleak. Rob Bleak.
 
Normal Quick stuff tonight. You know if he's ready to play if he doesn't mess up the first shot he faces. He doesn't have to necessarily let a goal in, but simply fumbling the puck or being weird in any way works just the same. Can't give up soft goals to McDavid. Well, to anyone, obviously, but especially him.
 
On one hand I want this series to end so we don't ever see the dreadful power play again (mainly kopi) but on the other hand, I want to see Oilers fans in tears on Saturday.

Yeah, players like that could be helping this team more than the mercenary in AA or the offensive black hole of the Champagne Line.

I just think Blake wasn't ready to throw in the towel on QB for this season. Unfortunately for the Kings, by the end of the season QB left the Kings no choice but to sit him.

He will 90% bust he’s shown zero for a second overall
 
I expect guys like danault, lizotte, durzi and moore to lead the way in game 7. Those guys all step up and thrive under pressure.

Oh yeah, Danault, Lizotte, Durzi and Moore thrive under pressure in the playoffs, where they have combined for a grand total of 23 points. Not like that Kopitar with his 69 playoff points(heh) and leading a reverse sweep. No, that guy just wilts under pressure.

My wife thought she was gonna get the TV tonight. I just laughed and told her she was pretty.

It is clearly not looking good, you obviously expect more from a 2OA. But I'd still wait until this time next year to use the bust word, this summer and next season is huge for QB. He should spend his entire summer in LA working on trying to get bigger and better.

But it's obviously a huge disappointment to be getting nothing from any of those high picks this series. As someone else said, this could be the pinnacle if the Kings can't develop many of these scorers.

Sol's hate for Byfield is no joke. LOL.
Sol hate for Byfield is a toss up w Racoons hate for AA... im not sure which one ive read more posts from but its close. Im a distant 3rd with my Iafallo drubbings
 
As much as a hate the Oilers, McDraistl have produced. f***ing Evander Kane too. Dude was almost booted out the league.

Still want the Kings to end them Saturday. Never had a good feeling about today.

Danault looks good now, but will he look as good when he enters his 30's? When Kopitar was Danault's age he was putting up what should have been a Hart winning season, now we have a good chunk of this board cursing his name.

You have to stop watching 2014 reruns..as much fun as it is.. I think these guys have the mojo for the next gen from my observations in this series... not taking away from Kopi's accomplishments at all.
