Around the League 2019-20

Kings don’t have the balls to sit a player of that caliber.

Just so happens our big money guys are still producing while the younger players care more about hair flips and pouting...
Iafallo, Kempe, Toffoli, Lewis, and Marty all need to sit before Kopitar and Doughty... but they wont

Really? Pretty sure Kovalchuk sat on his ass plenty last year. Shit at one point he was even told to stay in LA when the Kings went on the road. Or are you really suggesting that Kopitar or Doughty deserve to be benched, since they're the only other two guys on the team that match the criteria?

Tarasenko getting shoulder surgery, out for 5 months...

They should trade for a champion like Toffoli, Carter or Kovalchuk.

NHL Rumors - ProHockeyRumors.com

Hawks looking to move Brendan Perlini and Zack Smith

Wild shopping wingers Ryan Donato and Kevin Fiala plus center Joel Eriksson Ek

Paajarvi and Smith-Pelly signed with KHL

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

That’s a lot of money spent on very little production.

Man, if you guys think we are mean to Erik Karlsson at times, these guys are just going in on him like a pinata

This is why long-term guaranteed contracts are great --- for teams other than the Kings.

BTW, where's that picture of Rob Blake laying on his side during warm ups when a guy needs it? Karlsson looks about as interested as Blake did in his last season with the Kings.

If I recall correctly the boards behind Blake said Waste Management. That was iconic.

[crassbonanza]

Sharks continue their meltdown of a season by getting crushed by the Bruins 5-1. Couture, Goodrow, Meier, Kane and Deboer got tossed. Just a pure implosion.

I've been watching hockey for decades, this goal by Andrei Svechnikov
is unbelievable. Never seen one like it...unreal..

they're doing to minny in the 3rd what we couldn't do all game. scored 4 goals and lead 5-3. How the f did we play so bad against those guys?

 

[Telos]

It's been tried many times and has been thought to be impossible to do in the NHL by some, but it was only a matter of time... Awesome goal.

Goes to show how awful the Kings are. Also sounds like Boudreau’s tenure in Minnesota is about to reach its end.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Those lacrosse style goals have been scored by beer league ringers forever. The difference was, in the old NHL, a goon would fight you if they thought you were hot dogging.

then the hawks get smoked tonight as well.my god we hit rock bottom last weekend with those two losses.

Nah, rock bottom is being 4-8-1 while having 40+ million tied up in 5 players over the age of 30 for the next 5+ seasons and no first round draft pick to supplement a league worst prospect pool.

good thing the Kings could throw the blackhawks a bone a few days ago.

Kaliyev just did this last week.

They gave minn one too, or more like an extra lifeline to their coach, until tonight. He's a goner.

Meh, Kempe can do that. Wait...he can't?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Hoglander's was the sickest one I've ever seen



Had a guy actually defending him and toe dragged around him on the way up. Even the goalie was ready and he still couldn't stop it. absolutely nuts.

Wait when did we get an overtime lost?
