Understanding Kyle Clifford and the LA Kings Becoming One And the Same

Great article and reveal. Hilarious that Clifford threatened a Thrasher scout so the Kings would draft him.

Jersey numbers for GV. How about 72 - never been used before. See hockey-reference.com.

I say 60 or 80.

I’m pretty sure I remember Rick Tocchet wearing 92 during 1994-95.

Trying to piss Bailey off?

He did.

 

[LAK74]

The strange thing is that he doesn’t seem to be listed there with #92.

Seems like an incomplete list. Here's a better source:

If you scroll to the all-time uniform numbers list, he shows up.

Bailey has his own number? OK. My next choice would be 75.

Yup, Tocchet #92. Thanks for the additional source. I'll cross check the two lists. The main thing is I thought it might be cool if he chose a number that's never been used before.

Any update on his injury/rehab?

He's skating with Brown.

Kovalchuk back after maintenance day; Quick to skate; Vilardi progressing - LA Kings Insider

Also, hockey ops shared a note on Gabriel Vilardi (back), who has been skating in full gear at Toyota Sports Center while the team has been away. For every three days Vilardi takes the ice, he spends one day off it. After 12 days – that’s nine on, three off, um, via math – he’ll be re-evaluated.
I get the sense that if all goes well after that evaluation that the team could consider getting him onto the ice at the tail end of Kings practices, at which point they’d look to start integrating him in and ultimately adding a little bit of contact. But this three-days-on, one-day-off period should continue well into the next two weeks, so we’re a little ways away from gauging whether or not such integration may be on the horizon.

#00 ......Hey, somebody's gotta take the double zero, eventually. Why not have it be Vilardi?

#00 ......Hey, somebody's gotta take the double zero, eventually. Why not have it be Vilardi?

to go with the number of minutes he'll get in the NHL?

#00 ......Hey, somebody's gotta take the double zero, eventually. Why not have it be Vilardi?

I'm pretty sure the numbers "0" and "00" are not permitted in the NHL. So the numbers available in the NHL are 1 through 98. (99 retired league wide - Wayne Gretzky).

Gabe, please get healed up and help this team out, thx.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Gabe, please get healed up and help this team out, thx.

seriously. by the end of the year, Vilardi and even Kupari can be playing here for the start of the rebuild!
Kupari's season ends March 15 and on March 16, he turns 19. He's already signed.

For some reason I am trying to recall a player around 2003. He was more the enforcer type and was wearing 66 in camp. I was hoping that it would show up on the list but its not. Do you or anybody remember who that was?

 

[KINGS17]

The way things are going right now for the Kings and Vilardi, I wouldn't be opposed to sending Vilardi back to his junior team after he plays in 9-10 NHL games for the Kings. Who knows when that will be based on his injury.

The NHL is not a development league.
