Here's the joke
It wasnt the Kings not attacking tonight it was Nashville. They just about stuck 5 guys in their own slot with no desire to break out for a good rush or even have enough speed to forecheck hard with support after a dump in.They barely got a point against the Canucks recently while not attacking for the 1st and 2nd period. And they did the same thing today. Only turned it on slightly in the 3rd.
Nonsense. It’s always symbiotic. Part of coaching is not giving him the responsibility too early, plus making it ok if he fails (something TMac was horrible with). It’s entirely possible that Hiller could have given him the responsibility sooner, but it may have been too early also. Maybe he was waiting for QB to show him something specific first.. we don’t know. However it’s nonsense to suggest either party will achieve despite the other.QB is getting ice time because Hiller had no choice. This isn’t Hillers doing. It’s Qbs.
Yep, the team talk was “don’t worry Darcy has it… in fact call the lines yourself, I’m getting a coffee”.Their entire strategy is contingent on Kuemper being a wall and that’s far from realistic.
Blake put the ball in Darcy’s court. Arizona wanted him, contacted the Kings, and could sign Darcy for twice as much and to a longer deal then L.A could due to cap restraints. L.A had gotten Kuemper on a bargain basement contract to begin with at $650,000 because of injuries.Blake strangely traded for Kuemper and he played really well for 19 games to finish the season. Kings got badly swept in that 1st round to Vegas, and Quick had absolutely ridiculous numbers in those 4 playoff games. Kings needed offense and Blake acquired another goalie! Vegas would get finished by my Caps in 5 for the Cup Final.
And they hit 5 posts....The Kings actually had a fair amount of shot attempts but they missed the net 25 times and the Predators had 21 blocked shots. I’m willing to write it off as a weird night.
Winning ugly still counts. Just an odd game, 3 post and so many missed shots. I swear as far as I can remember Nashville games are always strange, never an easy win. On to the next one.
I think you’re just missing the point. I am not of the ilk for giving people credit when it isn’t due. Maybe you are, but not me. There’s many instances where people are put in a corner and do things they wouldn’t normally do because their methods are resulting in critical failure.Nonsense. It’s always symbiotic.

Dude. You are trying too hard to find negatives. You don’t need to, there’s plenty of legit complaints.

Hiller was far too happy to let Kopitars corpse limp around in the 3 on 3 until they had 0 wins and a handful of losses. Do you think it’s possible he put Qb because he wanted to or because he felt the pressure to do so since his tactics weren’t working and the media was asking him about it.
You may throw around praise aimlessly but I like to consider the circumstances when decisions were made.
I have an educated guess it was Blake. He took a not totally concealed shot at Hiller's lineup decisions during his deadline presser. Maybe it was a group sit down - since its always seemed like there is no clear separation between the different roles in the org.Not that I disagree
I did think it was interesting that they made all our basically forum dream changes all at once instead of gradually
Seemed like a full staff decision for better or worse

If Vegas were to lose in regulation things would start to get interesting.
Equivalent of some people praising Blake for surviving a game of Russian Roulette with the PLD situation but ignoring the fact that Blake is the one who loaded the chambers when no one asked him toNot that I disagree
