Speculation: Another year of this Bluc **** (The 2024-25 season thread)

Lmaoooo self snitching at its finest

Not to mention VMs and VPNs exist. You don't need multiple machines unless HF was isolating users to MAC addresses.

And I don't know what is meant by one IP per account. I have logged into my account from multiple locations and IP addresses. Unless it meant just initial regustration.

There is no IP limitations on HF and yeah you can get around any IP restrictions with Vpns easily.
But it’s good to know he confirmed the multiple accounts.

I see nothing has changed on the boards.

Not much has changed with the Kings

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Here’s a hot take.

Byfield turns into RNH if we are lucky!

Gross

A smallish white guy? Weird

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

A smallish white guy? Weird

A guy who was predicted to be an elite talent that turned into a secondary and complimentary player. And that’s if byfield gets better!

I personally still think Luc drafted him because he was a black guy. Lol wanted a black star player instead of just picking the best player. This is what happens when you let the marketing team overrule the hockey people.

Blake and Luc took their best swings they f***ing whiffed now it’s time to bring in a new batter. Good on them for what their goals were but they didn’t pan out.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I mean I know it's meant as an insult but RNH does have a 104 point season and many just under PPG so yeah, if Byfield hits that most of us will be happy even if it's not his 'ceiling'

I think you should save this post until April, bud. Or maybe May/June.

Yeah we just need to draft McDavid part deux to see it lol

King's are second in division & are going to get a major boost when Doughty is back.
Vs
King's are playing well without Doughty because his overall impact to winning isn't much more than playing Gavrikov in his place. (Replaceable)

Bumping the worst D out of the lineup for Doughty should help. Might take him a few games to get up to speed.

Think of it this way

Replacing Burroughs with Doughty

 

[johnjm22]

The team playing well without Doughty just proves he doesn't need to play a half hour per night.

I said the same thing in the 21/22 season.

20min TOI is fine. God forbid he has a game where he only plays 19min.

Here is the split.

Some fans
I want to win the Stanley cup.

Other fans
-I want to right the wrongs of the world.
-I want to make sure everyone is a hockey fan.
-I want our team to be an example to the world that minorities can be superior to slavers in the sport of hockey.
-LGBT issues are real and hockey is going to solve them.
-the players that won us a cup 10 years ago are the key to our future success.
-winning the Stanley cup is cool but how you do it is more important.

Everyone crapping on Byfield needs to go back and watch the first 60 games from last season. He was a difference maker. Some people complained about the linemates PLD had. Byfield immediately scored a goal the one shift he replaced PLD at center in a game last season. I believe the line was JAD and Laf. I know preseason has some crazy stats, but Byfield was tied for 3rd in goals and 6th in points in the NHL in 4 games this year. Patience is needed.

That's what I was thinking, clear downgrade.

Interesting post…..if you’re looking for a ban, that is. But what do I know….

Is your goal for byfield to be good or the team to be good? I feel like your more vested in the first one.

We could have our star player be a Chinese albino born to Indian and Norwegian parents who plays with a rubber chicken up his ass and all I would care about was were we moving towards winning another cup.

That’s what would make me happy.

I just want the Kings to be the best team they can be as we are all on this spiraling ball of mud cascading through eternal darkness until the sweet release of oblivion.

Replacing Clarke with Doughty on the powerplay.

Why are you so fixated on race? It's weird...

I'd bet we all have the same goal, wanting our team to win. We just express it very differently.

Why did I read this in a soccer mom voice?

I dont think I posted this or seen this here.. If a repeat, please ignore... this is an awesome interview with Gav in Russian with subtitles. Inquiring about advice for Michkov. Ends up explaining how Torts is in the room and how he fought with PLD. Gav in his native tongue is very articulate

 

[AbsentMojo]

I guess in some ways Byfield reminds me of Frolov... big set of tools - but not a lot of consistency making use of them - which makes everyone want more out of him. Obviously Byfield isnt even close to Frolov yet, but thats the kind of guy I think he is and will be... if you could transplant Lizottes motor, you'd have a top 5 player in the league. Its still guesswork, there is a chance he could find that consistency as he is still young... but the odds of it keep going down.
