[Ziggy Stardust]

MacEwen is a bum.

I thought he had the greatest debut by a player making his Kings debut. With #17 on his back, I had flashbacks of Jari Kurri mixed with Milan Lucic and Ilya Kovalchuk, with a little bit of Ethan Moreau and Daniel Carcillo in there.

 

[Surf Nutz]

Wow!
Copley bests Quick by 2 games for fastest to 20 wins.
30 for Kempe; back to back 30, 1st since Palffy on Kings
6 straight at home
2nd line finally gelling
Garvii gets one on sweet 2 man set up by Fiala and Ary; and almost 2
Danault bounce back for 2nd star
LA's most traded (by posters) 1st star.
Byfield sweet pass on winner
drilled home by Ando

tied 1st in an ascending in pacific

Lots of criticism here all the time of all things and almost everyone KIngs throughout

the year


so here are some milestones
tonight for those with glass always half empty
ATTENHUT!

 

[Eagle Fang]

Uh no, he's been solid on the back check, and has an assist tonight. Not sure what game you're watching. Maybe try your hot take on twitter.

One thing's for sure, if we watched the same game you didn't tune in until half way through.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

More proof of how dominant MacEwen was in his first game as a King.

We need to go back to a 1 vs 8 playoff format. Then reseed. Those opening rounds would be pretty good.

 

[johnjm22]

Macewen plays 5 minutes and gets a -1.

Totally useless player. No reason he should be in the lineup over JAD/AK or any other competent player.

I'm sure Johnny Utah thinks he played great.

 

[Telos]

I thought he had the greatest debut by a player making his Kings debut. With #17 on his back, I had flashbacks of Jari Kurri mixed with Milan Lucic and Ilya Kovalchuk, with a little bit of Ethan Moreau and Daniel Carcillo in there.

Honestly, that was the funniest debut I've ever seen. I haven't laughed that hard at any King's first shift ever. Just him clomping around trying to bump people, missing passes by 5 feet and shots by like 10 feet.

I was seriously getting Happy Gilmore vibes.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Saddest thing is dude is going to test the market and he will be gone. Absolutely impressed with how steady he is. Except for that terrible clear on the PK, he's been nails.

If that happens, it’s a horrible trade, and Blake should be slapped.

 

[Surf Nutz]

literally f***in grabs his face, looks at both refs, THEN lays down in agonizing pain

Hey its Hollywood, everyone wants to win an Oscar

 

[unicornpig]

If that happens, it’s a horrible trade, and Blake should be slapped.

Lol, just like this team is a fringe playoff team. Your takes are horrible as usual

 

[bouncesonly]

One thing's for sure, if we watched the same game you didn't tune in until half way through.

I clearly didn't, as I called out his excellent back check from the other side of the ice in the first period. Not to mention this...

 

[johnjm22]

If that happens, it’s a horrible trade, and Blake should be slapped.

I think it's a forgone conclusion he's going to test the market.

Seems pretty unlikely he'll be signing with the Kings. Unless it's for a significant overpay.

 

[Surf Nutz]

Whats weird is Spence is -15 - a lot of guys down there have bad +/-. I wonder if its the Cal effect

Bro be caarefuul.
The Spence fan club will smear you for spreading leegiteemaate stats!

 

[kingskring]

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Guessing Durzi will be replaced with Walker next game. Spence will get to watch from the press box and they’ll probably make him pay for popcorn.

Break out the binkies!

 

[johnjm22]

I clearly didn't, as I called out his excellent back check from the other side of the ice in the first period. Not to mention this...

That Gavrikov Roy pairing continues to be insanely good.

 

[TruKingFan]

If that happens, it’s a horrible trade, and Blake should be slapped.

And if he stays with the Kings you should be bitch-slapped. But you’d probably hide out in Vegas instead.

 

[Ghetty Green]

That Gavrikov Roy pairing continues to be insanely good.

Like, ridiculously

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

I'm sure Johnny Utah thinks he played great.

Not only that, he wants him on the first line!

 

[AbsentMojo]

Bro be caarefuul.
The Spence fan club will smear you for spreading leegiteemaate stats!

haha - i saw you taking a lot of incoming fire over in the Clarke thread.. keep your head low bro. I look at that stat over a long stretch and team relative and how it relates to their goal diff.. but it just surprised me to see Spence with that stat since the are 30-20-4 with +18 team goal diff.

 

[TruKingFan]

I think it's a forgone conclusion he's going to test the market.

Seems pretty unlikely he'll be signing with the Kings. Unless it's for a significant overpay.

Testing the market isn’t a guarantee he won’t sign. 50/50 I say. Enough to take a chance but what do you know…nobody seems to mind at this time - he’s playing great.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Kempe regression cranked to 11.
