Podcast (Audio) AGAINST my better judgement... ask a player

[All The Kings Men]

We're having a player on All The Kings Men this week.

I'm not telling you who but this is your chance to ask a question to a current roster player about this years Kings team.

Same rules apply... you can make your question some snarky attempt to show how clever you are while insulting the team or the coaches but I'll obviously ignore that question and quietly judge you for the rest our lives.

OR you could ask a question that might actually bring some insight... or you can go the @Lt Dan route and ask why chicken nuggets taste better when delivered in the shape of dinosaurs. I may ask those questions.

OK... *deep inhale*

have at it?

Jesse,

If it's a player that's been on the team a bit, be interesting to get their take on if they feel this team is different than the past 2-3 versions, beyond the obvious (new player, new coach) and what if anything was tweaked organization wise to help develop what we are seeing on the ice etc.

Beyond that, I would love to know what the coaches are telling them in regards to shooting the goddamn puck, knowing every situation is different, it seems default is to pass instead of shoot, and please for god sake reverse that...lol

Generally I usually like to defer to everyone else here, as I can ask Hoven in his interviews. But just for some ideas/inspiration:
- which player do you think will or should be a coach after retirement? A GM?
- beyond players wearing letters, how do you determine who inspires or leads you in the lockerroom?
- how much do you independently practice individual skills during the regular season versus the offseason? Which individual skills are you working on?
- how does Hiller's messaging differ from other coaches, if at all?
- how much do you like the 11-7 versus 12-6? Do you like the redistribution of minutes or prefer having consistency of teammates on the ice?
- what does Trevor Lewis' 1000 games played mean to you?
- fast forward and suppose the Kings make the playoffs. You can pick your opponent for the first round. Would you rather play Edmonton again or do you want to play someone else?
- World Juniors concluded this week. Do you still follow it?
- Do you keep correspondence with any Kings prospects? Any former Kings players?

[Sol]

I think probably a very insightful comment for us fans that we never really get to hear much about is how they’re liking this new system of 1-2-2 and if there’s any talks about expanding the system even more to allow for more offense.

Also it’d be cool to know if there was any talks about changing the system during the Oilers series when it became evident that 1-3-1 was not working
