Nice to hear Todd actually put some accountability in the org, but he definitely feels pressure on his job to do that. Dubois needs to be called out, something needs to happen.

The way they f***ed Rosen was the beginning of the end for this org. He was an amazing beat writer, willing to critique the team in a healthy way. And they used the pandemic as an excuse to oust him. he deserves so much better

I’ll give PLD some slack until I see him play under a coach that knows how to use him. He is not a defensive shutdown type guy and system wise that is how his positioning looks to me.
Roy has just regressed to the mean, he’s back to his usual self. Moving him makes sense to me because he’s solid but nothing more, as he was before Gavrikov arrived. Clarke/Gavrikov has the making of a great pair.
When only Moore, Fiala and Byfield are giving us much hope the deployment of the whole roster comes into question. Lewis has dropped of with the rest of the 4th line (it started before Lizotte was injured) and JAD is too vanilla to be a difference maker. Danault, Kopi, Kempe are all off the pace. I could go on. It needs a coaching change…
The fact TMac called out a vet is a symptom of knowing he’s in trouble.

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
He hasn't played every game in the last 13. What I showed was the numbers from Dec. 28 to last night.

It's always something.
"The system isn't a good fit"
"He's not playing with good linemates"
"He doesn't have good chemistry with player X"
"He's not really a Tmac type of guy"
At least he's not having issues with the way his skates are being sharpened.
"We'll see how he does under a different coach that uses him correctly"
"He'll be good once the playoffs start"

F*** your ice cream!
That first quote from someone supposedly inside the organization is so wrong. PLD hasn't done anything in his career outside of modest point production. His lack of points just shows how superficial his play has always been. How many defensively inept players are paid a lot without an expectation for points? I'm chalking this up as more BS from the Kings.

I agreed with him until he said Fiala isn't playing well, isn't contributing offensively, and hasn't been dangerous for a while. That's just not true. The Moore-Danault-Fiala line has been the best line by far during this bad stretch, and Fiala is a big reason for it. Button just makes himself look stupid adding that in.
To add to this, just looked to see who leads the team in points/60 since December 1. Unsurprisingly, it's Fiala.

He's right on Dubois but pretty wrong on Fiala. So there is that

Yeah, he's clearly correct about Dubois. Just so odd to then say something so wrong about how Fiala has been playing lately.He's right on Dubois but pretty wrong on Fiala. So there is that

seen a number of videos in the same vein today, seems like the youtube guys are really railing on him right now so this is going national quick

Where is my super suit?
I’m glad he’s getting more noticed for his poor play. Two ways this can go, this either lights a fire under his ass or he pulls the same PLD shit and asks for a trade. Hoping it’s the former. Like I said previously, I was okay with the trade, but the cost and length was the issue for this very exact situation.
