those guys on the ranger's postgame (vaiquette and queen henrik) saying quick has won the starting job got me wondering if he has enough left in the tank to win a cup this season. i wouldnt bet against him.
also it must really piss off lundquist to have to acknowledge that Quick is in fact better than he was and have it rubbed in his face at this point. its uncomfortable to listen to lundquist have to praise him.

and- yes
i will never forgive blake for the way quick was treated among alot of other stuff including being a dumb sob. somebody needs to paintball blake and luc's jerseys.

Blake should have been fired on the spot for trading Quick like that. But that’s probably the best thing to happen to Quick’s career to be honest. Such a shame for Kings fans though.

Quick realized if he wanted to keep playing, he had to change his approach to the game. So far it's worked for him and it worked out for him that he went to a team that likes to shot block and minimize scoring chances. The Kings weren't going to do that for him anymore and it had been that way for a few seasons.

The Winter Classic is returning to Wrigley Field next season. It's a good choice, baseball stadiums are better than football stadiums for hosting outdoor hockey, and it doesn't get much more iconic than Wrigley.

With three CFP games scheduled for New Years Day next year, it's likely they will have to put the game on a different day, maybe NYE or December 26th.

Jon Quick led the team to the playoffs three seasons ago. He did it with Sean Durzi as the #1D and Cal “The Cooler” Petersen as his backup. Next season, Blake flushed him down the toilet for Felix Copley and a guy named Joonis. The Kings win fewer playoff games and Blake is 100 miles back from square one this year.

Quick wins another cup and is now a stud on Broadway. This should show Kings fans that those who flee this regime are the real winners.

Cal won 20 games that year. Both goalies had good results. Quick went 23-13-9, Peterson was 20-14-2.

The problem was that they needed to make the change from Quick to move forward, but they fudged it and ended up destroying Cal's confidence while alienating Quick.

ironically.... Walker is actually part of the best examples of a Righty-Righty pairing working for the Kings (for extended periods of time) but I rarely see anybody reference it or him in all the back and forth about the concept.

I have a theory about that. Look at Shestyorkin's drop off this season... I wonder if JQ is such an alpha amongst goalies the other ones become cucks.

It was more raping of an extremely overmatched GM:
Peterson, Walker, Granz (2nd rounder) and 2024 2nd.. for flotsom and jetsom (provorov, canaughton and Hodgson) and 2m retention on Provorov for 2 seasons.
Basically all that to save 3m for 2 seasons on Caltastrophe. I dont know how this isnt talked about more as another one of Rob's disasters.

Berube is funny - shows that all coaches have a shelf life - some of them good and successful.. some of them not (wont mention any names out of respect for the departed).

Why is that Ironic? Is it because LA has an abundance of RHD?

Less than $3m since simply keeping him buried in Ontario would have given them around $1.1m of relief automatically.

I suppose ironic wasnt the right word...

coincidentally?

Just found it mildly amusing that there was a conversation about righty-righty pairings and nobody mentioned Walker as being proof that it could work with a sample size longer than 5 minutes and then here he is getting mentioned as being worth a 1st rounder at the deadline.

Additional context... some people still refer back to him bitterly as if he was a plug and a waste.

They were wrong then and they're wrong now.

Which makes it worse. Apparently there was no interest in Walker standalone... and why he played over Spence - to try to up his value.. Walker had no future here with Spence and Clarke ready to contribute. You couldve moved Spence and kept Walker.. but after the knee blowout my guess they worried about his long term health. Edit: still I cant think of any trades Blake has won except for the Muzzin deal which is basically even.

Gotcha,

His contract was such good value till his injury derailed things. Was getting back into the swing of things near the end of last year.

edit: if it were not for Alanis I likely would not know what Ironic even meant.

If teams are saying a first for walker than Roy should definitely be traded. You cannot let him walk for nothing.

Roll the dice with Spence and Clarke.

Or or NHL ready prospect with waivers next year, but I fully agree that Roy SHOULD be moved.

If Roy walks it will be poor asset management. However we have a GM that needs success this year to keep his job, so I fully expect Roy to be a king past the trade deadline.
