What Boldy and Rossi are is what the Kings desperately needed our two picks from those drafts to end up being. It really is the biggest difference between being contenders and not being contenders.

This has been a very entertaining game from start to finish.

Yeah Boldy was gold right away aftrer 2 years of college.. Rossi 2 years in the A, couple of good seasons, then took a step this season. Now their Suter/Parise buyouts coming off the books so this team's window is wide open.

If people wanted to earnestly discuss Faber they would do it on the Wild board with more fans that watch him game in , game out and have a real core reason of discussing Faber.

This is just another stupid sidebar to criticize Blake.

Always has been and always will be.

Faber is not a significant topic of discussion here for anybody except you.

Wait, I thought I was mandated to this thread by you?

I working on being appointed on topic decider for these boards as you speak.

Weird she didn't take you but perhaps understandable.

Jesus now Rossi and Boldy were exactly what we needed to pick?

It's Monday morning QB flying a time machine with you 7 days a week.

If that is the case, why do many people here discuss Faber when he is brought up?

What should we be discussing in the "Around the League" thread? if I want to bring up Jack Hughes with members of this forum I enjoy discussing hockey with I can't do it, and should post it on the Devils board? Again, what is acceptable in your little pea-brain mind for us to discuss here?

I've been to the Australian Open before, off my bucket list of sporting events. Would rather stay home and watch the NFL playoffs and 2-1 Kings games than travel around the world with my mother and her best friend.

Not exactly, but by now you should expect the type of offensive contributors those two are from picks that high. The Kings are a much bigger threat to do damage in the playoffs with Boldy and Rossi than with Turcotte and Byfield. But I'm sure you disagree, since every Blake pick has been a homerun.

I reckon that's the sneakiest elbow I've ever seen, just about ever. Literally no one knew it happened 'cept for McNugget and Johansson. Absolutely criminal play, I'm sure he won't face any suspension or consequences. Gretzky was even glossing over it like it was no big deal, saying he's been on the receiving end of those. When the f*** was that? Gretz can f*** off as far as I'm concerned, hope Ovi smashes his record.

100% agree - felt the same way when Wayne was laughing and saying that..McDavid strikes me like on the spectrum nerd low empathy personality.. so awkward in his interview, cant joke around. Serial killer if he doesnt make the NHL.

The real question again, is why not post it on the Wild board, with the people most interested that have the most information, Senor Sidebar?

It's because your agenda is to slam the Kings and Blake, very obviously.

I don't watch the Wild so I am not qualified to compare.

I am a real Kings fan that lives on the West coast.

Because I want to discuss it here with friends of mine (both online and offline) who I have been discussing hockey with for (in some cases) 20+ years, which is exactly what this thread was set-up up to do. If I wanted to make this about your beloved hero Blake, I would post it in the thread about Blake.

Nobody gives a crap where you or anyone else lives.

Both the moves by Boldy tonight are just the type of power moves that you would love to see QB be able to consistently do, but they are just few and far between. Boldy was a bit raw when he was drafted, but you could always tell the guy was a gifted athlete, and he has really just developed into a stud. I'm old so I still always imagine power forwards as being the Keith Tkachuk and Shanahan types I grew up watching, but Boldy is kind of the modern day power forward.

And yeah, Minnesota is going to be a problem for years to come.

Sorry, I know I should be posting this on the Jackets board to appease our self anointed content moderator.

But, Zach Werenski has 18 points and is a +7 in his last 10 games, and currently leads all d-man in goals and 2nd in points to Q Hughes. Zach is on pace for 90+ points from the blueline, while also playing stellar defensive hockey. The Jackets are 8-2 over that stretch.

Will be tough to win the Norris with how incredible Makar and Hughes are, but he should be getting a long look from voters.

2 games, 2 sneaky elbow headshots. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY.
Such a bad look.
Turn the play around, that's a match penalty and a 3 game suspension on Marcus Johansson.

I think hockey always works things out even when the refs or league refuse to do anything. My guess is the hockey gods arent on his side at this point and players arount the league are talking about it. Head on a swivel 97. Edit: and hockey doesnt condone sneaky shit like that and what drai does with his stick after plays. Those arent hockey plays, theyre pure chicken shit.

Crazy to think he's already 27 years old. Incredible run either way, especially with his injury history.

No surprise there, none. I'm sure he could've done something even more heinous and blatant with no repercussions, that's just how it be for upper echelon players and individuals. Reminds me a lot of how hyper wealthy ghouls get away with absolutely anything because they can buy their way out of trouble. I love Kempe even more for slew footing this f***.

Which would prove what? That the problem all along was roster construction (bad trades, unbalanced lines, lack of toughness/size, questionable top picks, etc.) by the FO/GM and moving out of the rebuild too soon -- yeah big surprise (said no-one). It's Bluc...and it's always been Bluc.

Can’t believe people are still willing to interact with this sad psychotic troll. Just put him on ignore. This board is much better when you turn off the diarrhea faucet.

I've said a few times I appreciate that McDavid is willing to play more on the edge these days, he's doing everything he can to win.

But he's going to have to take what he gives as well and very few in Edmonton are willing to admit that he's anything but a precious holy infant incapable of sin
