4-1 now OTT

I’m actually not surprised with the result thus far this evening. Ottawa has played hard since the coaching change. The roster may have been stripped but, the effort and compete level is there.

If the Kings stay true to the tank it is possible the Sens could overtake them. Only 2 back of LA if this result holds.

Sens have some winnable games here in the last few weeks.

They also have more ROW than the Kings.

IIHF - Frolov’s Korean year
Click to expand...

Man, I love Frolov. Would have loved him to get a Cup here. Such a personality. Not just nice-to-fan nice, genuinely a funny, warm dude. Happy to see him making the most of his career.

"“Koreans are workaholics. They work a lot, learn a lot, always push themselves to become better,” says Frolov. “This is why Starbucks in Korea have the best cappuccino and latte. It’s always brewed right and the foam is whipped perfectly. One hundred times out of one hundred! Their perfectionism shows itself.”

Frolov doesn’t consider himself too old to try new things, even though in Korea he is actually listed as 37, since Koreans traditionally count age from conception, not from birth, a factoid he doesn’t fail to mention."

With all the success he had his first year being one of the top goal scorers hopefully he decides to keep goin. :)

Because he's a 1st round pick and put a lot of money into him with development and such.

This is the correct answer.

It's the wrong way of thinking, but it's human nature.

The whole Forbort thing has just been such a disaster for this team. Trading up to draft him (1 pick before a star level player), watching his largely disappointing play in college where he never looked the part of a 1st round prospect to keeping him over players who turned out to be much better NHL players.

It really is shocking with how awful he has been basically from the moment the Kings drafted him that he is still here 9 years later, just very odd and unusual.
