Honestly when I saw that live I thought he was faking it given he popped back up to yap at the ref and played on (common occurrence)

Only on slow-mo replay can you see that it looks a bit like Doughty's board jam-up

Anyone who wants any athlete to get injured deserves to get injured themselves.
I mean corey perry is a prick whom i saw spear quick right in the nuts and was released from the chicago blackhawks for being a prick.
As much as i detest him, i figure karma will even out for him eventually

Give me your opinions.

Where would Michkov be playing right now if he had been drafted by the Kings?

A) NHL
B) AHL
C) KHL

I dunno, but while I think about it, give me your honest opinion,

Where would Alex Laferrier be playing if he was drafted by the Kin...wait...he was....

KHL. No way would he have come to North America without the guarantee of an NHL role and facing the near certainty of 1-2 years in the Reign middle 6 and LA press box. He more likely than not would’ve requested a trade by now and would be getting the Faber treatment from the “He never would’ve played here anyway” crowd.

One was 22 and one was 19, but your response is to be expected, you continue to think LA's development decisions are normal compared to the rest of the NHL, despite a mountain of evidence that says otherwise.

I guess C.

They'd want him in the AHL, but he'd go to the KHL for more money.

This is my belief as well, I think the Kings would not have guaranteed a roster spot, and thus he would have stayed in the KHL until they did, or he was traded.

I actually think had the Kings even been in a position to draft him, he probably would not have been on their list due to the leverage of the KHL that he had.

yeah, at the interview kings would have been perturbed that he wouldn't want to play in the AHL for 3 years instead of the KHL, they would have skipped him and picked charlie stramel and moved him to wing
