No, I want them to waste their time and energy(?) traveling to Edmonton and getting "prepared" for the game, only to get shutout again. They wasted my time, so I want them to waste a few more days of theirs before their summer vacation starts.
Yeah especially when Fialas tied to superstars like Laferriere, Lewis, and Lizzotte. I can’t imagine why he’s not having much of an impact.
No, you can't.
Pietrangelo never played for the kings.Obviously not getting into it here, and nothing this year, but safe to say the Draisaitl injury was not well received in Edmonton, we’d be getting into the weeds beyond that
Nothing like Pietrangelo two handing Drai after the game with minimal consequences though
It is honesty: he is a .50 PPG playoff performer over his career. Basically the same as Arvidsson except one guy cost nothing and has a lower cap hit while the other cost Faber, a 1st and a large contract.
In the last 3 playoffs between the two teams the Nurse headbut on Danault is the dirtiest play. Otherwise its actually been pretty tame as far as crossing a line.
Last year in the playoffs with the Kings he was playing injured. And this year he is playing with Lewis and Lizotte. To pretend he’s had a fair crack is pretty disingenuous. And it’s a not an apples to apples comparison. Kings have notoriously mismanaged the youth. To act like it’s a straight apples to apples transition then that’s not very realistic to assume Minnesota Faber was going to be LA Faber. Fiala is a great player who does dumb shit at times however that doesn’t change the fact that he’s been heavily misused. And yes Arvidsson sucks with all the opportunities he’s given.
lol, maybe we are getting blamed for other teams dirty crap.
i honestly think we shouldn't judge anyone (minus PLD) on this team with how this front office has been running things. They really are lost in every aspect of the teams make up. I am just glad somehow Byfield has made it out alive. They have totally mishandled Clarke in his developement but it looks like he will succeed despite every dumb move Blake has made
Fiala is playing with Lizotte because he hasnt truly fit anywhere. You think Kopitar didnt tell the coach he likes when Byfield is on the line with him and Kempe? You think Moore and Danault didnt say they like playing with Arvidsson more? Fiala is largely a one man band and his giveaway at the blueline with no one back means his linemates have more responsibilities.
Im more so disappointed with Moore exclusively. I already gave up on PLD.
You think Fiala got the second highest point totals on the Kings because he doesn’t gel with anyone?
Fialas point totals were mostly him doing it alone. Do you remember any give and go type goals or any other highlights where he was part of a 3 man tick tack toe? I remember mostly him deking his way into the slot and sniping goals.
Roy should have been dealt and Clarke should be in his spot. That's the failure.
Fun players are always "misused" per this board and effective role players always suck even when doing their job well. I'm pretty sure you are in the "Kovalchuk was misused" camp so it tracks. I'm a big Kaliyev guy so I can get behind the misused argument there but I also realize that, at the end of the day, sometimes these guys are what they are.
