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

[King'sPawn]

@Herby isn't claiming that @Raccoon Jesus and others have any insider information (although I've met plenty of players and personnel over the years), but he's no worse than Hoven at watching hockey games and making observations about the team. If I put out a podcast tomorrow, would you suddenly think my opinions more valid?

@Herby, @Raccoon Jesus you guys wanna start a podcast?

No. The credibility I put in people's opinions isn't based on having a podcast. I made clear that the active connections to resources in and outside the Kings give them a better pulse of what's happening with the team's outlook and plan.

Not that their opinion on players mean more. But their opinion of how the org sees the player means more.

I wouldn’t have a problem with the laf benching in a vacuuM but

Jesus titty f***ing Christ have we not spent the last few seasons complaining about actually reckless passes and dumb offensive zone penalties? Now we are gonna punish Laf for it while everyone over 25 has immunity?

I’m a hilller fan but he’s been trash this road trip. Willie D esque.

On one hand you have to limit special teams vs the Oilers but on the other hand McDavid ran Mikey, caught Gavrikov up high and then took a run at Laferriere. At some point you have to give it back.
Youre right about other players deserving to be benched that have immunity. Turcotte got benched the other day for scoring a goal. Moore got undressed in a pathetic fashion on the Oilers goal tonight and came out the next period with a promotion to the 2nd.
Hiller is great when hes creative and keeping the guys on their toes but hes falling into a routine of being a defensive coach that would rather lean on safe guys that cant make plays instead of going all in with the guys that are hungry. His in game management has been getting worse.

So is that DJ dude doing anything with the PP or is he just Hiller's "interpreter".

We hired Doodoo Brown to run the powerplay after he "led" the Ducks to 25th worst in the league last year. Can't make this shit up.
