Disclaimer: “GDT may not be 100% accurate. I got the line combos from your mom. I used to have Center Ice, Gamecenter Live, and an undercover concession worker in each arena, but this **** costs money. I will admit that my pet otter is using all up that money on his worsening opium problem. I try to not be an enabler, but I haven't had a sea urchin problem in months. Then I thought, why should I pay all this money and have a sea urchin problem to appease fans of random teams that I don't even care about anyway? Unless you are willing to take a bunch of sea urchins off of my hands, don't ***** if I get the lines wrong.†- BF​

[Raccoon Jesus]

We are so unspeakably boned.

 

[Trolfoli]

DZ/Gudas really their top pairing?

Man this is going to be an easy win!

 

[driller1]

Is this the "We Lost the Trade but Won 2 Stanley Cups" GDT?

 

[Little Psycho]

Still first in the pacific....weird but not bad.

 

[Ron*]

Is this the "We Lost the Trade but Won 2 Stanley Cups" GDT?

Yes. Yes, it is.

 

[Ron*]

Expanding on that thought, if we can somehow claim another Cup in 2016, then the Flyers win the trade even more so.

I think that's how the thinking goes, anyway.

I hope the Kings don't win in that case. Can you think about how unbearable Philly fans will be then!

Every time there's an afternoon game I always have class at the exact same time. Will likely miss a good chunk of the game unfortunately. Games against the Flyers are always fun.

Like I said, we're totally boned.

Feels like we should counter with Enroth.

Though I am excited to get a closer look at Ghost and Laughton. I haven't gotten to watch much Flyers this year at all.

We should counter with no goalie and 5 skaters.

 

[jfont]

Kopitar for Rinaldi? What a stupid hypothetical..

Let's hope that's what the flyers do at the end of the third

2 Time Cup Champs vs The Can't Even Make the Playoffs Trade Winners

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kopitar for Rinaldi? What a stupid hypothetical..

There's just not enough characters to respond to that stupidity. I mean, if we traded Kopitar for Rinaldo and Rinaldo went on to lead the NHL in Corsi and playoff scoring while getting as many goals as Kopitar had points, then yes. Otherwise it's just a horrible false equivalency and something a delusional writer uses as a pillow to cry into.

Then again, it's also this guy. Ron is gonna love this

Speaking of which, Goon Alert , as in Gudas, who wears #3 and is a goon to the enth degree, a total head hunter. IMO, almost every hit is dirty or borderline and he hits to hurt.
He even looks CroMagnon when you see his face.
In a 4-0 loss last week to the AVs, Blake Comeau was crossing the blue ine , without the puck and Gudas used his knee on Comeau's knee. No call

Cross checks, almost shiftly.

Head shots disguised as 'shoulder' yup. A couple weeks ago it was this hit on STalberg vs the Rangers. Stalberg had his head down and Gudas saw that clearly as he appraoched. But it wouldn't matter, he hits like that way too much.

Kings need to keep their heads up...

 

[KingsFan7824]

If Cups don't determine trade winners, then neither does the fact that both players the Flyers got are still productive NHL players.

What's so hard about both teams getting what they wanted out of that deal? The Flyers got rid of Richards before he broke down, and got a good return. The Kings got a guy that helped them win a couple Cups. Who knows what happens if the deal isn't made from the Kings standpoint. Do they still win? Impossible to say. Too many different variables. Is Carter brought in to be the 2nd center, even though Schenn probably has that spot from the start of 11-12? Is Carter brought in on the right side, even though Brown/Williams/Simmonds were there? If Gagne doesn't get hurt, forcing Brown over to LW, is Carter brought in at all?

Even if the Kings don't win, it's still a trade you do at the time. It would obviously be worse than the Purcell/Moulson topic, had they not won the Cup, and Richards breaks down early, and Simmonds/Schenn put up points. We'd never let that one go if that was the case.

Game 1 in Vancouver. That's why Lombardi got Richards.

If only there were a device available where you could record the game and watch it later

 

[theMajor]

Del Z on the first pairing?
tonight's game should be a pleasurable one to watch

Absolutely, it's win-win. But if you're going to split hairs, you can't say the team that got two cups lost the trade. We weren't winning with Schenn as 2C that year, he had as many points as Richards had goals and that was with a Kings team that couldn't score until later in the year.

Kings need to keep their heads up...

Kings fans are familiar with Gudas, he attended camp with us some time back before going to Tampa in the draft. Loved his physical play, disappointing to hear he's a bit of a thug if it's as bad as you say. Knew he'd always be on the edge though, he was even being a dick at camp!

 

[Kings man 4 life]

Our arrogance towards the Flyers D is getting me nervous...

 

[Joufreau]

Hey Kings fans, I'm curious to know how Pearson is doing this year...looks like his production has picked up recently.

Cheers!
