I agree that Arvi is the most expendable - and in addition we have scoring wings in the pipe like Fagemo and Chromiak that would be cheaper replacements. If it came down to keeping Moore or AI, id take Moore - he has more creativity to his game. Grundstrom can slot in as a cheaper replacement for that kind of player if necessary.
Well his take on both has proven to be ridiculous so far. Writing off Vilardi only because of his D+ status was really a laughable reach.
Probably because he got there with StL a few times? 62 in 58 is on pace for 80+ so not too bad of a miss.
In a related note - once both Kempe and Vilardi were moved to wing, it wasnt long before they started to produce. Center really is a much tougher position - faceoff responsibility (burns energy).. more chasing style defensive responsibility (burns a lot of energy covering one of the forwards down low), more skating required to get into the o-zone (starting lower in the D-zone 9/10 times). Vilardi has the play making style of a center, but he doesnt have the wheels. I think it was wise to move him to wing. So maybe Vilardi's late development was due to this but give Kings credit for moving him to wing.
Kids these days have weak immune systems. Nothing like grandpa's old cough syrup to do the trick.
f*** you vilardi is gonna score 70 you can take that to the bank
I would say whatever you felt, feel free to uphold it. One game alone shouldn't change your mind one way or another.
played pretty well...1st goal against was questionable....and they did hit a couple posts. Still not playing like he'd steal a game for us though.
Lmaooooooo Cals first decent game and Axl decides to go “I told you so”. Where were you the other games lmaoooo
Well this is it. I like both players and always said that I thought Kempe would maintain his goal scoring but crowing about it after 10 games is more than a little premature. My point was always the fundamental changes to how he was playing, not just his s%. I’ve said elsewhere my views on Vilardi.
Posts are a ‘so what’… it’s an off target shot. It may as well hit the corner.
Moore seems like the type to take a hometown discount... Until another team flashes a sexy offer in front of him
Hmm, I see it different. Posts indicate the goalie was beat and that shot just millimeters away from being a goal.
Nope, I didn't predict anything....that's your job. Nostrasolmus.
Depends. Did the goalie take away all of the goal and the shooter tried to hope one in or did the goalie leave some open twine that the shooter simply missed? One is perfect goaltending and the other isn't.
Cal was a functioning nhl goalie for Halloween.
It was the best Kings goaltending performance of the young season. He gave the Kings the chance to win with multiple quality - and timely - saves.
