He always plays well in/against Vegas. I'm expecting an elevated performance tomorrow from him.

PLD, 2nd game in a row, I can't complain. He has some speed, maybe still too soft, however, signs of inprovement

Yeah maybe he can start benching Doughty after his tenth hour of holding onto the puck during the PP to inevitably blast it off someone’s shin lol
Missed the game but Just saw the whole sequence. F**k these pathetic refs. Total interference and then gets only 5 for fighting. WTF are these refs looking at. Seriously NHL has gone NBA level sh*t reffing. Mad props to young Laf. Anyone else would have tucked their tail in. Kid took a couple for the team. Way to go Laf.

His hands and chin are gonna be sore, his knuckles were tore up in the box. Two fights in just a few months of NHL action, gotta love him stepping up, setting an example for others. Just wish we had a Crouse or someone cruising around to help.
May not need to worry about that for a long while, if at all.
Kings first was very bad. Do that against the Oilers or Knights and LA is losing next two games
2 cups to zero.. bottom 3 team compared to top 3 team.
Alot of people were saying LA was building the "right" way when the kings had the top prospect pool in the league. Some rebuilds/retools work, some get derailed, some change path. too early to tell what the sharks will be, but I am more scared of what Anaheim is building
the refs in this game are the reason there will always be a place for thugs/enforcers in the nhl. first , even the best ones cant see everything and alot of what they dont see can and does endure. second, inexperienced/incompetent refs allow obvious fouls/injuries that can not only endure but like the fouls on arty last nite can be career or even life threatening. teams in intense competition will push the rules limits to the max and in the process we wind up with something thats not even hockey.
i knew something was up this season when in september the leauge served notice on the teams and the coaches to take it easy on the refs- that they werent going to put up with the intimidation from the benches. every year i think the officiating cant possibly get any worse. and it ALWAYS does. think that hack from the sharks that boarded arty will hear from parros? i dont.

That is such a ridiculous no call. If it isn't interference, how is it not boarding? Kunin never even looked at the puck and just threw the hit.

Jim Fox on Twitter the other day said his guess, nothing official, was that Arvy could be back in February.
That seems really early compared to where everything was sounding. He would know better than I though.

He was 5 months from surgery to playing last time and this was supposedly the same surgery. Into February/March would be 5 months this time.

Its' truly insane, and they were letting the Sharks blast guys away from the puck all night. Lizotte got blindsided at LEAST 3 times.

Pretty unbelievable that Kunin didn’t get any penalty for that illegal hit. Seems that the Kings have been a victim of dangerous hits going unpunished whilst every cut and or minor risky play committed by the Kings has been reviewed then penalized heavily. The NHL needs to fix this shit because it’s so out of hand and inconsistent
Personally, i dint think fox would know better than you. Fox vomits the company line, nothing more

Ottawa, Buffalo have a ton of young talent. Prospects are just that without some culture to go with it.
It's a fine line really.
The nhl will NEVER fix this shit its gone on for 50yrs that i know of. Its one way the leauge controls and maintaintains competativenesd to keep people watching and sell commercial time. This also is more reasons that teams need thugs/enforcers/physical players to retaliate when the rules are not enforced.
This website is practically unuseable
that maybe the nicest thing said to me today. cheers haha
I was being a bit facetious there, Anaheim has the right blocks, but people were saying that about Buffalo....and Edmonton etc.....it was more of a jab that there is a "right" way to build a team more than anything.
Not necessarily defending it, but it's easy to see how they missed it, 1st ref in the zone, was on the opposite side of the net, extremely difficult to tell from his angle if Kaliyev played the puck, he'd be trying to look through the bodies, literally etc, ref outside the zone looked like he was screened out by Anderson on the back end, and neither one of them are going to guess at a call like that....kinda ridiculous to get a roughing call there, and a fighting call, guess they didn't want to call the instigator, but that should have been both 5 for fighting and off you go if you missed the interference etc,

I had the same surgery as him. Yeah 5-6 months sounds right. I can see him returning in February.
