So true. A dangerous acquisition by Blake because TM is liable to play him.

Columbus is perpetually swimming against the tide. Arizona beaches themselves.

Columbus has had some terrible things happen the past few years. We talk about how losing Voynov hurt the Kings. They had a good young goalie die in an accident. Werenski and Voracek injured early this season. Several big name players have wanted to leave.
Columbus deserves a lot more credit than Arizona, who just wants to make a living with minimal payroll.
That's also why I thought Faust's joke about the Blue Jackets was pretty gross.

Agreed. I thought it was beneath him for any team in the league. It was uncalled for and came out of left field for no reason.

Basically said something along the lines of "The Kings are dominating the number one team in the league... eligible for the first overall pick"

We were right there
I mean, that's lame, but hardly worth an uproar?

"And the Kings beat the first place team... in the draft lottery."
I don't think it's an uproar for calling out low blows or punching down on jokes.

It's definitely cheap or punching down but 'gross' seems like an overstatement if 'uproar' also is
Kind of stupid/unnecessary in broadcast either way that's for sure, and a little surprising coming from Faust

thats pretty meak to be up in arms...hes not wrong and lets be honest- CBus and AZ are the worst teams and franchises in the league.

I …. am…. The LA Kings!
Faust has poor timing and delivery. When he tries to act confident I just don’t believe it. He’s a douche canoe!
Bob Miller had big dick energy. Faust drives a Porsche and wears socks with Birkenstocks.
Faust was an accountant before. With the way bally is going, i’ll be happy just to have the kings on tv

F*** your ice cream!
I have to say that I never expected Play by play announcers to be described this way... but I totally agree

If Grundy had any defensive awareness he would be in the line up for 82 straight games.
He has a physical edge and can score over 20 goals with maximum 13 minutes ice time p/gm.

My favorite goal was the insane Byfield assist. I was at the game in person, and you could just see Kopitar's face and he could hardly understand what even happened.

Its A Kingspiracy !

He takes more dumb penalties than anyone else on the team. His lack of smarts at times hurts the team, that why he gets scratched so much.

I’d agree with you if you said “…other than Fiala and Kempe”.

Yeah, I was going to ask if Fiala and Kempe were traded overnight? Because they take far more undisciplined penalties (and by sheer quantity, Grundstrom only has 16 PIM. Fiala is third with 52. Kempe is fifth with 40.
Now, would he have more PIM if he played more and was in more games? Maybe, but Lemieux still leads the team in PIM with 53 (tied with Danault).

Nowhere nearly as many as Fiala, who is 1 minute away from leading the team in PIMS
Fiala takes undisciplined penalties, Grundstrom has taken some derp penalties and has also had some derp turnovers. I think that’s why his stand out more.

Fiala has plenty of derp turnovers when he does his turnaround no-look passes. He's just more highly skilled and his turnovers occur when there's not established pressure, so they get noticed less. Ultimately, he's forgiven a lot more because of his production.

Fiala's turnovers occur in much more dangerous positions and have led to a few shorties. He is an undisciplined player who takes unnecessary risks that may look amazing when they work - and they do work FAR, FAR more often than not - but when they don't the consequences are usually pretty heavy. He is also a known diver who loses out on some calls due to not getting the benefit of many doubts.
Grundstrom just does dumb things in safer places, so I don't really see them as comparable. And since his job relies on forechecking and grinding, you have to be willing to accept a few overly aggressive penalties every once in a while. Same with Kempe, you don't mind the odd elbow nearly as much as you mind a Fiala retaliation crosscheck.
I should probably just read the page for your posts before apeing the same sentiments...
