Stupid St. Louis ruining the kid. I bet he plays him in the Top six, and a regular on the powerplay.

If only they knew he should be deployed for 97% of faceoffs in his own zone to properly develop him.

Who's cutting onions in here!?

Guy LaFleur was such a cool name.

 

[KINGS17]

Lafleur could have been a California Golden Seal, but in just the type of stupid moves teams in Calfornia made in those days the Golden Seals traded the pick that could have turned into Lafleur.

Lafleur was drafted in 1971 after Canadiens’ general manager Sam Pollock traded the Habs’ first-round pick in 1970 along with Ernie Hicks to the California Golden Seals for their first-round pick in 1971. The Seals finished last, and the Canadiens had the 1st overall pick, but Lafleur wasn’t a shoo-in for the top choice.

Another French Canadian named Marcel Dionne also tore the junior leagues apart with his scoring ability. Pollock chose Lafleur, and the rest is history.

Marcel Dionne was taken 2nd overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1971 draft. Hmm, back then the 1st round of the draft actually provided teams with some pretty great players.

Also in 1971 with their 2nd round pick and #20 overall the Canadiens selected Larry Robinson with a pick they acquired from the Los Angeles Kings. smh

Showing my LAK bias, but I'll take Rogatien Vachon.

Look at these morons.


It’s going to be so sweet when they’re officially eliminated.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Shorks getting speedbagged as expected.

[kingsboy11]

Sharks are absolutely f***ing useless. Literally only get up to play us and suck against everyone else.

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

I Believe In You San Jose. I need to go find some soap for my mouth....

 

[kingsholygrail]

Meh.

We have two cups. As Phil Jackson told a barking D’antoni, sit down and stfu.

 

[LAKings88]

Sharks suck

f*** you San Jose, we will do it ourselves.

 

[BringTheReign]

Sharks need the ghost of Joe Pavelski’s 5 minute major call because they’ve got nothing.

Feel like it would be more satisfying for the guys on our team to clinch via a win rather than someone else losing, but it’d sure be nice to know tonight.

 

[Maynard]

Showing my LAK bias, but I'll take Rogatien Vachon.

This used to be my favorite hockey name but then I heard Jim Fox over pronounce it and now I can’t un-hear it.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Man the VGK broadcast is brutal, dry and dull.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I love you Timo Meier!!!

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Holy crap!

 

[crassbonanza]

Wow, .9 seconds left

 

[crassbonanza]

Man the VGK broadcast is brutal, dry and dull.

I like Daren Milard, but yeah they've been a bit bland lately.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

VGK crying about a missed slashing call.

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

Well they got a pt so I assume we need at least one pt now even if they lose correct

Correct. Any combo of 2 points earned by the Kings or 2 lost by Vegas before this OT.
