GDT: Detroit Red Wings 5, Los Angeles Kings 2 (Final)

I got to admit, I thought the $4.25 for Mitchell was a bit high and was ok with him moving on, but looking back at it the Kings should have made cuts elsewhere and kept Mitchell for a couple of more years.

Find the money to do that. What two guys are going to fit Mitchell's $4.25 in under the cap? You can't just say buy out Richards, since that wasn't going to happen.

First time in a year and a half the Kings gave up 4+ in a single period. Wooo! Get that monkey off our back.

Someone just threw up in the penalty box.

I believe that might have been Coach Sutter.

Kidding. Sorta.

History will be made!

 

[King RAZZ]

Williams out too???

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Stick is in pain after falling into the boards with his shoulder.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

At least we're spawning main board threads. Three games, three players who are suddenly awesome...Voracek, Malkin, Datsyuk. It's like the good ol days.

 

[damacles1156]

Yup that's a seperated shoulder. J-dub will be out. He has separated both shoulders before.

 

[kingsfan28]

Getting all our injuries out of the way early. Add Williams to the list.

 

[King RAZZ]

Watch your seat Cannon...

Williams in pain on the bench, looks like Chris Kingsley just popped his shoulder back in.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Oh hey, another trip to the box for Richards.

The penalty box will now be known as the Richards Box.

Told you. Popped that shoulder right out.

 

[kingsfan28]

PP Wings, go figure.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Do the Kings have cap room to replace Williams?

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Oh hey! Another Kings penalty!

Well, ofcourse that is my answer. And it's not unreasonable, it was not a slam dunk that the Kings never considered the buyout option this past summer. Say the Kings went with the buyout option and chose not to re-sign Greene, that is almost $8 million of cap space, half that goes to Mitchell then you replace the fourth line center hole at whatever the going rate for a fourth line center is. And the Kings are not up against the cap.

Again, I'm not saying I was all for bringing Mitchell back, there was plenty of risk. But boy do the Kings miss him right now, more than they would miss other people they let go. I think whether you were for or against him coming back, we can all agree his loss has been major.

Now he'll really know what stink smells like after the kid barfed in there.

Is the emergency call up still on the roster? Or do we have to play another game down a man?

 

[damacles1156]

Do the Kings have cap room to replace Williams?

No, pretty sure they don't.

 

[Little Psycho]

Please no more injuires. That's all i ask out of this road trip

 

[damacles1156]

Doughty slap shot that's blocked.

 

[Little Psycho]

Hope richards has some camping gear to set up in the penalty box.

 

[kingsfan28]

Is there a quota on the number of illegal picks and interference plays in Detroit before one is called?
