McNabb just doesn't belong in the top 4. Not happy with DS running his stars into the ground. He hasn't learned from last years late season collapse.
 
The Canucks and their fans are a bunch of punk ass mother ****ing *****es.

Any Kings fan chanting against our guy are equally punk ass *****es

Tanner is a beast.
 
Two victories in a row. Playoffs, here we Come!

Seriously, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about the forwards. Dowd has made the third line into a scoring threat and Pearson has taken the next step.

If they miss the playoffs like they did in 2014-15 with Vancouver having an extra point... you'll remember these freebie points given away.

This is like one-82nds empty.

The game was a good, Kings possession game for 50 minutes, with some weak goaltending. It's a process, over a long season, with an AHL battery in net. I know it's comforting to be negative, God knows I have been, but there's some positives in the early season now, and let's go with them.
 
Kings best full-game goaltending performance of the year and it's .880. **** yeah.

Gonna be a scary team if we can even get within .25 of league average!

Quite a bit different. Hes got a quick release, has good velocity, a knack for getting it off in traffic, and doesnt get blocked. Cant hit the damn net though. He missed 3 or 4 golden opportunities tonight. Didnt even get it on net for a rebound. Very frusterating.

I don't think he meant to fire that SO shot where it went either...but as my goalie friends playing down a level always said, if the shooter has no clue what he's doing, you can't read him either :D

Can you imagine McNabb with no curve?

I've been positive in regards to Pearson's play and Dowd bringing new life to his line with Brown.

There's still some areas of concern, like the Kings looking great for half this game and not so great in the second half.

But four points in the Budaj era is certainly a positive. I just don't have much hope in him though if he's who they have to depend on over the next 3-4 months.

Next week's going to be quite the challenge.

So you agree with Holden, that Pearson has a bad (or inaccurate) shot? Or am I inferring your post wrong?

Your hockey IQ is far above mine, I'm not afraid to admit it, but I think you (and Holden) are woefully wrong if you're attempting to convince me that Tanner has a bad wrister...

Pearson admitted in the post game interview that he flubbed that shot but it went in.

Pearson has had an amazing start. Some of these fans just need it all, I guess. Most entitled fanbase I've ever seen...

I don't think it's entitlement at all to be critical of a guy's shot, especially when it's apt.

Holden didn't even say 'bad,' he said inaccurate. I don't think he's wrong at all. For every perfectly placed snipe Tanner has had, he's had many, many shots that just fire off elsewhere. But he has a nasty release, great velocity, and never gets blocked--so he can beat a goalie without a 'perfect' shot sometimes. TP isn't a 'sniper' but he is an absolute beast...think Zach Parise. He's not gonna scare you with outside shots, but he's gonna get in the slot and overpower you with body or stick.

Agree, the goaltending is definitely a concern, but here we are. Budaj is little, he wants to play deep, he is not familiar with the D in front of him. Can he figure out how to play the game Kings style? Story of the season.

Fair enough, Rocky Raccoon, thanks for the feedback. I don't agree, but I'll defer to you any day of the week over my own inference. Except with Tanner :)

I meant as a whole, Kings fans being the most entitled. I'm around a **** ton of sports, and our base is glaring with entitlement. But your point stands, maybe not the best time to throw that out there (re:Tanner and his shot).

Thanks for the feedback, brudda
