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

[Lt Dan]

f*** I wanted to be in charge!

you are the at underlord of leaping level, still far above Deez

But f*** it, I'll promote you unless the others object. We could use some salt

Danault has played 64 games this year - he's not hurt.

These guys play through minor injuries.

The vets don't even confide in the trainers about them, except right after they happen in the game.

These little problem really drag on performance when playing at this level and hurt confidence.

It can lead to a spiral down in performance.

Just my take.

Careful Nutz, if we disagree it will go against the narrative that we are one and the same.

You just know the Kings are going to bring back the 1-3-1 in the playoffs and get wrecked standing in the neutral zone... again, rather than generating rush offense and keeping the Oilers on the ropes.

You do know every team at some point uses the 1-3-1 in the playoffs, right? Last year Fox showed 2 or 3 times EDM used it when they were up a goal.

Doesn't seem likely.

You guys need to stop feeling like you need to pity yourself because your team plays in a competitive league.

How many years of the self pity comments do we need.

Good Goo Ga ga

Lol,

now that's a zinger.

@Lt Dan take note and sign up for lessons!

 

[Surf Nutz]

You must have been banned that day

Myself @KINGS17 @Herby and @AbsentMojo were all voted Overlords of Leaping and now you have to put each of us on ignore

What has been your experience dealing with those?

Lol. Yes I'm aware. The Kings didn't even play the 1-3-1 100% of the time against the Oilers. In fact they look the best they did when they would press on the forecheck early in games, or when the score was tied.

That is what made those series so incredubly frustrating, the Kings would play the 1-3-1 and the momentum of the game would change drastically, and not in the Kings favor.

The Kings showed they could hang with the Oilers at times, but they would get in their own way, and wouldn't just play their game.

Maybe it makes zero difference, but I believe Hiller was running the TM systems last year and there should be no reason why we see these games aren't played differently after having a whole season to integrate his game plan.

The Kings could cause trouble in the playoffs

Colby Cohen talked about why he likes the Kings’ chances against the Oilers this season on Daily Faceoff Live.

LA Kings' Kuemper Named NHL 1st Star of the Week

Some pundits are taking notice!

It has not been another year of Bluc Ship.

What a stupid headline.

F that
The self anointed and self appointed trolling out the same decade old tired, outdated and no longer true gibberish!

Here is a pin stick it in your ego, dinosaurs

Changes have come so take note and thanks

Jim Hiller and Co.

Great to solid off season additions: Kuemper, Foegs, Edmu and Jeannot.

Coach and management pushing the right buttons overall and especially with the young players for the most part.

Youth trending up!

It's an exciting time to be a Kings fan unless you are Helen Keller.

He dropped off by 10 goals from years 22 to 23 -- yet he played 82 games. Was he injured then too?

The org isn't going to play an injured player if there is no need - makes zero sense and benefits no one.

Didn’t he play with 2 broken fingers in the playoffs last year or was it the year before?

 

[KINGS17]

No longer true? Are Kopitar and Doughty still on the roster?

Yeah, it's true.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Maybe it makes zero difference, but I believe Hiller was running the TM systems last year and there should be no reason why we see these games aren't played differently after having a whole season to integrate his game plan.

I'd look at the last King's, Oilers game for how Hiller sees it. Trying to play a disciplined & completely defensive game they ultimately lost because Laferriere retaliated on a head shot. Same prevent defense he's rolled out before.

Maybe the King's come out & run over the Oilers from the puck drop. Hiller switches it up & catches everyone by surprise! Doubt it.

Edit: Anyone seen GHB? Hope he didn't forget his login.

I have been a Kings fan since 77.

Surf is os older than I am!? Lol. I would've guessed way younger because I understand zero of the references he makes and his posts have that millennial toxic positivity, all about the memes vibe to them.

No one understands what the f he is talking about. I think he rolls dice with words on them to put sentences together

No

Same with Johnny Utah

To be fair, it’s been well-established that they don’t even watch the games.

My autistic ass just nearly had a stroke trying to make that coherent enough to actually read.

Solid work.
