Still amazes me that there are people here who still don't understand just how important King is to this team.

IMO the most under appreciated guy during these glory years.

The Americans! Nice to see Lewis and brown on the board

Lewis has been reading Hockey for Dummies.

Santa brought him the large print edition.

He is the perfect bottom six player.

Productive and cheap.

seriously wondering about carter...since he's been gone, scoring like mad.
causation? correlation?

LA is one of the most unskilled and boring teams in the league

Yeah, I saw that too. All I can do is SMH with a post like that. Betcha that guy/girl would LOVE to have the Kings in Edmonton rather than the dumpster fire the Oilers have become.

I agree but you're seeing the start of that IMO. He's not hiding his top players from kopitar et al

They were playing as good defensively as I've seen them play in while during the first period. The biggest thing I noticed was the back pressure from the forwards.

The causation is Western Canada....

It's weird to be in blowouts without Carter.

 

[scryan]

Disagree. Rubbish defense and goaltending.

What?! They have almost 75% save percentage. Thats huge compaired to like... Bernier and similar.

pathetic division?

Seriously, what's with the shot counter at Edmonton. Does Michael J Fox have his finger on the Edmonton shot clock?

 

[Bandit]

Lol Talbot is still wearing his mask sitting on the bench. Is he hoping he might go back in?

 

[HookKing]

Nolan too damn slow moving the puck. Get with it man.

but the defense def looks ... penetrable

Carter was playing hurt though, so that effects his playing.

If he was hurting, sure he could bring his line down. Might be partly to blame.

Let's not put Carter on the trade block just yet. :/

Hes hiding.

I believe he's in the building, will that still count?

Dick Clark is manning the kings counter.

 

[damacles1156]

Quick's SV% is getting padded tonight.

 

[cali101]

yeah that's true about carter carrying some injuries..

I still don't like King but he does make that 3rd line better. I can't wait until Carter comes back...

Lucic--Kopitar--Toffoli
Pearson--Carter--Gaborik
King--Shore--Brown
Mersch--Andreoff--Lewis

All we would need is a top4 Dman and this team would be complete!

Some people just don't understand the role of role players.
