I honestly think there are times people don't consider him to be an "all the tools, no toolbox" type of player because of his talent.

I do think he's too talented to be considered a third line player, but I also think he has a lot of limitations to be counted on regularly.

Its not as though he is a 3rd liner by virtue of the various metrics, its that he only ever really thrives when playing with your traditional "3rd liner" types.

He just isn't much of a player when off of the puck.

Even when he was playing his best hockey as a King, he wasn't very popular around here. This forum has a type of player it really likes and dislikes, and Fiala is certainly not the type of player many here have a soft spot for.
Kind of says a lot about 'this forum' then, huh?

I love Fiala.

I will say Foegle has delivered after a slow start. He’s been a huge part of this run of late with his play all over the ice.
I think Edmundson is quietly becoming a solid pickup and unsung hero as well. Both offseason moves seem to be working out quite well for the team thus far.

The biggest problems with the team still remain such as not having elite goaltending that can bail the team out against an elite offense that will find their chances, not having Doughty or any star power on the blueline, our kids are doing well and progressing but none as fast or as impactful as we all hoped at this point, and our offense is decent but not good enough to guarantee results against an equally staunch defense or gain results on the powerplay. But none of these are the fault of any specific player and the team is gaining more and more chemistry and playing better with one another.

At this point though, this stupid f***ing league and playoff seeding still has us on par with ending up facing Edmonton or something similar again which would very likely yield the same results and bring ire that I have not even yet felt or experienced in my life as a Kings fans towards BLuc and AEG if that were to transpire....

Kings looks much better when Moore and Lewis are not playing…

Come on man!
Lewis is a national treasure.

Kempe got the assist on Turcotte's goal. Is this the first time Kempe looked up on the rush & had someone on his line fast enough to stay in the play and be available for a pass?

Edit: Dear Lord, got two legit OCD women decorating a tree. Gunna need some whiskey.
