Kempe is such a stud probably our best defenseman too lol. How he's not on either of the PP units is insane. Can he just be sent back to LA cannot afford for him to get injured.

 

[Schmooley]

I liked Rakells game a lot. Would be a good get for the Kings at the deadline. I dont remember him playing as gritty even when he was younger in Anaheim.

How to deal with McDivas high hits

No no no, we can't risk taking a penalty!

Fun game. Really impressed with Kempe's game. Did a great job pressuring players. He dropped back into coverage when the Swedish D pinched. Played a lot of responsible hockey & came away with a goal. Burned that 89 guy too.

Fun to see Arvidsson again.

Bonus--Kempe's 'dirty hit' triggered a bunch of Edmonton fans apparently

Damned California global reffing.

Kempe proves yet again how based he is. Always wondered how he'd play at C, he was drafted at that position after all. He has the speed and defensive prowess to be successful down the middle with his driving style. He also doesn't shy away from physical contact and plays with an edge, very complete all around player.

 

[shuchukfan]

Can he do McDavid next? Please?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Hellebuyck not beating the choke artist allegations early on

 

[AbsentMojo]

The Fins are such good 2 way players, Im surprised the Kings dont have a little enclave on the roster.

 

[The Butcher]

So this means we have to root for the tkachuk kids? Barf

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Boldy from Faber

Would probably cause Blake some heartburn if he had any awareness

 

[Telos]

There goes the flood gates for USA, wow.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Both Kaf***s making noise

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

This is fun hockey. I def. didnt expect guys to be flying around full tilt, even 'for country.'

 

[KINGS17]

Good showcase for Kempe prior to the TDL.

White knighting for Doughty aside, I don't understand why Kings fans hate these guys. Two of the very few players in this league that can take you back to the days of power forwards. Brady has 21 goals, 101 PIMs and is 8th in the league in total hits. Total beauty. Either of these guys would be the most popular player on the Kings.

Nobody is safe when a Tkachuk puts on a U.S. jersey. Hotel furniture as well.

Tkachuk - Eichel - Tkachuk vs. Marchand - Bennett - Konecny is gonna be mutually assured destruction

If Eichel goes down, that's more money they can spend at the deadline.

But he hadn't scored in 10 NHL games and everyone here overrates him.

Oh and how can I forget.

"It doesn't matter anyways, he wasn't signing in LA"

I like the 3-2-1 point format. NHL should adopt. Also NBA are you watching? This is what the NBA All-Star format should have 4 nations. Say USA/CANADA/FRANCE/SERBIA - Who ever comes in 4th is relegated

Love the 3-2-1 point format, you would see a lot more teams (especially those chasing in the standings) going for it in the third period of tied games, as opposed to sitting back and playing for the extra point (the Kings being one of the most guilty teams in the league at this). It would incentivize winning in regulation.

But you would have less parity, and the league and it's owners LOVE parity and so many teams getting the loser point in 3 point games. There are a lot of sucker fans (such as one who posts here) who love to talk about their "95-100 point team", while being completely oblivious that half the league reaches that threshold.

People think their team that is 30-30-9 is a ".500 team" the same way that a 30-30 NBA or MLB team is .500, just not realizing at all that those lost 9 points are going to competitors.

Yes

I am in favor of just a straight W-L system though. I think if we get rid of the commie cheater point that we will see less games going to OT in the first place.

Agreed. Regulation wins being a tiebreaker already states the fact that they are worth more than an OT/SO win so just get on with it already.

They've already announced Theodore is done until the playoffs

You'd better believe Eichel and Stone are getting long term paper cuts so VGK can bring in an entire team
