I got mail from Alex Faust today which was pretty cool.

He sent me all his notes for the game we played against Toronto. Fun to look at.

I wish the draft system didn't reward teams for losing, that way I could still root for my team to win.

If the team infrastructure sucks, it's not a reward.

With the Kings history of developing forwards with their current staff, how do you think they would handle someone like Hughes?

They’ll turn him into a 3rd line grinder.

Give him fourth line minutes until he gets a point, then play him 8 minutes with Trevor Lewis and Kyle Clifford, then demote him again when he misses a stick check in the offensive zone, then send him down to Ontario after 5 games to play 3rd line minutes. What do I win?

The Kings don't even preach that anymore, watch the AHL team play, they have zero identity.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

I now find myself cheering for the Wings, Panthers, Rangers and Blues to win...wings tied with NJ, 2-2 with 7 mins to go. (madness, due to Kings ineptitude)

Are they mostly doodles and are they sfw?

I felt like Pierre McGuirre reading them.

Though sadly no doodles.

The Kings haven't had the opportunity to draft many forwards high.

That's awesome. What did he write in there? Don't tell me it's all "Austin Matthews" 100x with a bunch of hearts.

 

[Bandit]

I just hope everyone gets out of the game without a concussion from Brickhead Gudas.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

I would love to know why Pearson is seeing any amount of PP time.

Wouldn't that require someone going near the Flyers net?

 

[The Butcher]

Hot take: The Kings should try to get shots on goal while on the power play.

 

[Bandit]

False. Gudas would headshot someone in the tunnel if he could.

 

[kingsfan28]

They look rusty.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

He’s on fire with his one assist on the season.

 

[lumbergh]

Quality turnover by Forbs there.

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

Forbort needs to sit for a while and Fantenberg needs to come in.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings had a power play, and they’re getting outshot 6-1. This is highly enjoyable and entertaining.

 

[The Butcher]

They look rusty.

As opposed to what?

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'll try and post a picture of the stuff tomorrow.

He said he'll probably give more away later this season. So if you follow him on Twitter be on the look out.

 

[KingsFan7824]

He's played over 300 games. He's a veteran of sorts. Veterans tend to get a chance to play their way out of...whatever has gotten into Pearson. It sucks. Young guys tend not to get the same room for mistakes. That's usually how life works though. 6th highest cap hit for forwards on the team. Getting more cash than his cap hit. They want goals and points from him. I mean, they need them, but it's real money they're paying him.

 

[kingsfan28]

The team isn't helping Campbell with all the turnovers.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I wonder wtf Drew was telling Budaj
