Around the league part 2

Quick isn’t even dressing. I really thought Vegas might be able to kill a penalty. Guess not.

Wow! What disrespect. Why did Vegas bring Quick in then. He is basically third string.

To piss off LA's fans

Called that the minute it went down. He was a stop gap for injured players. Said he wouldn’t get a sniff when goalies got healthy.

He did pick up some wins that helped vgs finish first tho.

 

[kingsfan28]

hahahaha!!! stupid Vegas keeps taking penalties and it's burned them again. 5/7 and counting.

I mean pretty much this, ya. The only team that looks good in all this is Lumbus.

 

[Shellz]

Kanes a little bitch.

Black hole Blake certainly does not.. Lumbus did come out well didnt they, a 1st from LAK... got half of jq prorated salary back from VGK for guys they werent going to sign

The knights have been jsut damaging the oilers. Wish we had that.

Kings don’t have a Hague or Kolesar who are making Kane accountable. Or even a Carrier.

Doesn’t seem to be working out for Vegas.

Vegas has won a series in the last five years. Maybe having p***yes on the Kings isn’t working out for the Kings.

Not from punching people.

 

[Sol]

Not from punching people.

Yeah from playing a physical game. Unless you think the Kings played physical enough that you didn’t understand my point in the first place.

Its a universal principal that deterrence is an important aspect of peace... its a fact that if your team doesnt stand up occasionally and pay someone back that took liberties, the perp will do it again and again. The Kings dont stand up enough. Can we agree here thats a fact? or are we going to keep talking past each other.

Apparently there’s a couple people who can’t understand that simple fact.

Violence begets more violence. "Enforcing" increases the amount of cheapshots and liberties.

And isnt the NHL still trying to ban fighting all together?

Thats just the other side of the argument... there's a balance to be struck... if you're too aggressive you get penalized too much.. If you too passive, 1) your team pride suffers, 2) chances increase guys get hurt. Why did 99 have curve stick as his body guard?

There's been actual studies on this.

Fighting doesn't prevent injuries or make anyone safer.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Deterrence begets peace is a caveman's understanding of the world. Maybe in some circumstances it is true but a "universal principle" it is not

Lets go with the socratic method to maybe get to the bottom of this: do you agree with the maxim: stand up to a bully and he will leave you alone ? and do you think Gretzky career length is the same with or without McSorely? (second one total conjecture but want your opinion)

All geopolitics is based on this concept...the animal kingdom works this way.. Playgrounds work this way. The cold war was based on mutually assured destruction - if one side didnt have nukes (deterrence) they would be dominated.

Vegas is in trouble if their PK winds up being as bad as ours was.

Have to think Edmonton eventually runs into a team who can PK and their run is over.

Have to think Edmonton eventually runs into a team who can PK and their run is over.

Let's see:
Dallas = Can PK
Seattle = Lol nope
Toronto = LEL
Florida = LEL
Devils = Good, but their goaltending is unproven.
Hurricanes = PK? I thought we were on PP.

So basically only Dallas and Carolina stand a chance.

Again this fact impugns the Koala not getting the PK up to snuff all season and esp since the team would most likely rematch against the best PP in the NHL (by a mile)
