[WHOneedsSOX]

What you doing Fiala?

 

[VILARGOD]

man when is Dubois going to become a difference maker for LA

 

[Sol]

UH OH. Byfield…

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Would he be better away from Fiala? Does he need the puck more?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Ottawa doesn’t deserve a thing but we are trying to hand them points I guess

 

[kingsboy11]

started the game pretty well, but let the Sens back in it once they got that first powerplay

 

[deaderhead28]

Great Job Byfield

Brady looks like inbred Ollie Jokinen. Only dumber.

 

[AbsentMojo]

29 SOG between them in 1 period

Can’t even say Matt got all the looks. Unfortunate looking family.

It's still early but that line definitely hasn't gelled the way anyone has wanted. It is tough to break up though because the other lines are doing well and the PLD line isn't hurting us at the moment.

 

[johnjm22]

I thought both teams were crisp.

 

[psych3man]

The reason the Kings have such a good record vs prime chances is because they give opponents so many from PK

What you doing Byfield.?

fify.

Really like Stutzle as a player, a real shame he's such a horrendous diver

that rep started early, and continues.

I think Byfield may be ready to be the 3C his play making is looking very good and he needs get reps as center as thats his future. PLD faceoffs blow so i think he's suited to wing. it would be a bold move so the odds are infinitely small given the Koala's adjustment reluctance.

I want to agree

But I also don't think you move him as soon as things start clicking

O’Neil and Armstrong getting 0 kings names right.

Byfield is being groomed for the wing. He isnt displacing anyone one the top 3 lines center position.

Patrick O'Neal is to me as Faust was to many on here, annoying.

The second he gets a couple reps as a top six centre after injuries he will not be going to the wing.

I think people grossly underestimate what a player of Byfield’s stature can do when given his natural position.

Good point. Dont mess with it now.. but if things fall off, worth a try

The only thing Byfield seems to excel at is potential.

Kopitar is signed for 2 additional years and PLD is now signed for 5 plus years. Neither of these two are being displaced for Byfield nor is Phil for a few years.

It takes one stretch of games to change that dynamic.

Byfield very soon will be playing centre with Kopitar on his line taking important draws, same thing occurred with Stützle and Giroux.

PLD is built for the second line, Danault is built for the third line. Very soon, Byfield will be that bonafide dynamic play driving centre that you can staple anyone to.

I really hope Byfield proves me wrong though.

Bro this isn't happening.

 

[Bandit]

Somehow Kopitar is still killing penalties.

Byfield needed that.
