GDT: GM#18 LA Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks @5:30pm 11/16/18-One Day early Edition!

[Kingspiracy]

Saw him do that during the last road trip. He's like Jagr when it comes to conditioning.

Is he going for it or just warming down, it could just be maintenance to keep the old muscles and bones going.

I said this last year, Peterson is going to make Quick tradable.

Kings can only do one thing right with prospects and that is spot and sign talented UFA goalies or draft solid goalies. We can also reinvent guys who were backups or struggling starters elsewhere.

Signed Jones and Peterson as UFA’s.

Drafted Quick and Bernier. Hell, even JF Berube is an NHL player occasionally.

Reinvented Scrivens (temporarily) and Kuemper.

Petersen will make Campbell expendable. Nobody is taking Quick.

Calvin Petersen. Damn fine game. First NHL start, United Center and was best performer on the ice.

This is the first time in a long long time the Kings have 3 capable goalies. Quick will be back in 1-2 weeks and
I expect him to play well - maybe not like several years, but he still won the Jennings last year.
If the Kings are out of the playoffs come deadline, I suspect a team that has Cup hopes, will trade decent value
for him. This wil be good for him to get another shot at a Cup...and for the Kings, free up cap space and get a #1 or
good young players for him. Maybe the Kings retain some. GMs were calling Blake the first 3 weeks about Quick, when the Kings
were faltering. I am confident with Campbell and Petersen. The Kings problem is offense.

Another good thing :::: as King scouts / Futa talk and meet with college / CHL / Euro free agents, available players
to sign - they can tell them "Iafallo stepped right in and was playing on our top line...Cal Petersen goes to the AHL with
Quick and Campbell in from of him and the second year, he's getting some starts...and may well be #1 here in 1-2 years"
This will be a good selling point to sign more....Brickley, Rempal, Strand, Kehler. This has been Blake's best dealings he's done
and all of these players may indeed make some kind of impact MUCH MUCH MORE, than about 5 of the last 7 drafts!
Go scour the earth and sign more of these players! Heck, even Luff was a free agent signee a few yrs ago
and he looks pretty good. He's got some good tools and I know he can score goals.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I wonder what the sourpuss Sabres fans who mocked Petersen’s decision have to say...

 

[Steve Zissou]

might have to buy me a kovy jersey at some point, i don't even care if the team's trash

that dude is just such a ****in G

 

[kingsholygrail]

Yay!

 

[bouncesonly]

At least when it comes to tie breaking last place, they go by ROW

A lot of guys do it after games. They showed a bunch of guys doing it a few years ago after a playoff game. Helps with the lactic acid in the legs or some such shit.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Kovy working out postgame was great to see. What an alpha dog player.

 

[King'sPawn]

I'm happy. It was a nice birthday present.

Even though people are rooting for the Kings to tank to get the 1st overall pick, but it's nice to see the Kings win and I couldn't be happier for Petersen.

 

[Atas2000]

Watching Rosen interview Luff after the game and Kovy is in the background riding the bike working out after the game. While the rest of the guys are packing their bags and joking around

Getting old responsibly

Ha Ha ... you guys got the extra point

It's all about the Jack Hughes Derby.

What’s that? We can’t hear you from all way down here! We’re like a boulder rolling down a mountain. You can’t stop us from reaching the bottom! STILL in the last place... *mic drop*

 

[TopT]

Peterson needs to go back to AHL; we really need Hughes

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Willie, next time these are your shootout selections: backup goalie, Phaneuf and Forbort. If you need a 4th, then the starting goalie can go.

Stop with putting in skill players.

 

[onlyalad]

Not mathematically eliminated
Go Kings Go

I have decided to keep hoping they win.
If they have a 5 game wining streak they could climb to 6 th in the division

While I agree Quick isn't tradeable at this point in his career, still Petersen should be put as first string if he continues to improve.

@LT Dan

Magic legs!!

High praise for his first win to put his all time winning percentage at 1.000. I like it!

A pretty massive fraction of our forum lurks here to see what you have to say about your new coach.

 

[LAKings88]

I noticed Hagelin more than Pearson but likely because I was looking for him. Wish Kopi got that one in OT out of the air.

Petersen looks good. Real test is against Nashville if he plays.

At least Chicago got a point.
