im starting to wonder about the increasing number of players that just dont fit into our system and how successful the system has been historically. im a fan of defense first systems as it wins championships- historically and in the present. but the buy in thats needed offensively in a defensive system is to go to the dirty areas and take the beating to score. the kings aren't doing that. shot charts bear this out. and the kings dont have a killer naturally talented scorer like a jeff carter or a guy la fleur. so i hope for the best but until we start paying the price and scoring in close we will be wasting a fine performance from kuemper.
the team also looks like they're playing for ties and the loser point-or at least are happy with that result. not exactly a champions competitive mind set.
change is good but the correct change is whats needed.

The problem with Fiala is his history says he’s NOT the net asset you guys say he is, especially in the playoffs. He has to prove that wrong, and a lot of people are giving him the benefit of a doubt he has not earned and does not deserve.

I like him. I like his personality. I like that he loves La and is very active in the community and with the team. He doesn’t quit and the team clearly hasn’t given up for him. I want him to be successful here. But until I’m proven wrong you guys are defending a player that does not get exist. Hes a whole lot more Andreas athanasiou and a whole lot less Marian gaborik.

I think he is a net asset but as I’ve stated… when he is on, at his best. When he’s that player he is fairly responsible defensively and doesn’t try to force it. Perfect? No. But he is a player that teams need to prepare for. Has he done it for 82 games or been a difference maker in the playoffs-offs? No.

As you say he at least puts in the effort and doesn’t quit which means nobody can remotely compare him to the version of PLD we saw in a Kings shirt.

Fiala scored 145 points in previous two seasons under a coach you all thought stunk. I guess he ‘fit into the system’ then, huh?
