I thought he was trying to draw a call per usual, especially getting up and complaining afterward.

Why would people love to see him get hurt? That's like the clown Yankees fans who were cheering when Ohtani got hurt on Saturday.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened on this forum with this player. And every time it happens it's a terrible look for this community.

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 guess C.

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

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.

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

PLD makes me think of a quote by my old pal Tikkanen.

“He plays hockey like he doesn’t want to mess up his hair.”

He was talking about Teddy Purcell iirc.

The Caps have been on fire so far, I think fingers will start pointing at him once they cool off unless he starts putting the puck in the net.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

This is basically exactly how we started last year with PLD

we're winning so no one is REALLY complaining but

'the production isn't there but the advanced stats are, he's great at gaining the line and getting the pucks to the net and it's only a matter of time before he and laf and kaliyev go on a heater'

problem is he's getting paid like PLD when he's really just French Canadian Nick Bjugstad.

Yes, the Caps have been good early. Connor McMichael is developing into a solid player. Like his game a lot. It's obvious he's propping up PLD playing on the same line as him.

Dylan Strome has been good as well. Change of scenery can do wonders for a player. Definitely has a shot at being a 70+ point player this year.

Not sure on the extent of the Roy injury, but hopefully he can get back into the lineup soon.

Yea, let's please steer away from that attitude. I know we all "hate" the Oilers but cheering an injury ain't it.

They're still in the "He'll get there" phase much like I was last season.
