This will make some posters happy

 

[Bandit]

Bernier with the 8 save shutout?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Less upset if it is actually Clifford and not Wagner, but not as happy as I'd be if it were Thompson.

Welp, time for kids to continue to step up. No Brown, no Quick. Ugh.

 

[The Tikkanen]

If Wagner gets scratched after getting 3 break aways and flying all over the ice in almost no ice time Stevens should be fired immediately.

 

[Sol]

Can we bring this boy up?

Glad to see Clifford sitting out for some actual talent. I was pissed reading this thread that someone said Wagner is scratched lol.


God, the Quick situation, that is brutal man. You knew he was going to fall apart very soon after those long term injuries.

Hopefully Cal is ready to take his place. Soon

 

[King'sPawn]

Detroit's D... woof.

Hopefully the Kings can capitalize and score more than - oh who am I kidding.

Would love to see Brickley in over Forbort stat, at least to see what he's got.

Would still rather see Clifford in, Thompson out. But agree that Wagner should stay.

And man, ever seen or played against a full-right goalie? That shit is f***ing confusing. Throws my angles off as a shooter completely But as a righty, I can now do that cheaty above-the-pad, below-the-blocker shot that lefties have a better angle on.

Total bummer about Quick either way, hope they rest for him for this trip regardless, as you know he's gonna come back and try to play thru it. After putting a fantastic season together last year, I want nothing more than 60 more games like that from him to put the haters (not you) to rest. He's finally starting to get some respect again.

 

[Little Psycho]

I just hope Campbell doesn't make himself look like a fool.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Not surprised with Quick. There were a few plays where he looked a little uncomfortable after. Doubt it's anything major, but this early in the season, why force it? That's why you have a back up.

I'd rather see Brickley in over Phaneuf. My god he slowed down even more.

I'd really would love to see a Brickley Doughty pairing badly. They seemed to have such good chemistry that I haven't seen in a very long time in such a short time. Brickley is very very impressive to me. I hope they bring him up asap..

Oh man for sure. Also Quick played his best hockey against the Knights in the playoffs. But these injuries, he can't be relied upon to be healthy. Campbell isn't really good at all. Hope they give the likes of Petersen a real shot for Back up so he can start to move into a starting position sooner rather than later.

Which surprises me a lot, players crash into quick so much even when he's not being aggressive. It's mind boggling he's not really protected by the refs at all.

 

[Sol]

Yeah Phaneuf or Forbort. The only case you can make to keep Phaneuf over him is because he's nasty.

Wish it could have been a somewhat reliable back up. Campbell gave me no confidence in the preseason but then again it was the preseason, so we shall see. Hope he plays well but if Quick is out longer than expected they should call up Budjah

I'd be happy with that. Run...

Brickley--Doughty
Muzzin--Martinez (hate that pairing)
Forbort--LaDue
Phanuef

Iafallo--Kopitar--Kovy
Kempe--Carter--Pearson
Wagner--Amadio--Toffoli
Thompson--JAD--Lewis

 

[kingsholygrail]

I guess Quick was hurt during practice from what I'm reading.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Campbell lets in 5 tonight.

There is a finite number of times the male body can do the splits and/or flop on your stomach. Quick is approaching that number fast. He's not nearly as flexible as he was 6 yrs ago.

He needs to transition to being more of a standup goalie soon, or he won't last beyond the 20 -21 season (or sooner)

And he shouldn't start more than 55 - 60 games.

Was it Kopitar that injuried him?! First Brown and now Quick, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[KINGS17]

Detroit should be a team the Kings can handle no matter who is in goal for the Kings.

Sadly he doesn't have the skills to be a stand up goalie.

[damacles1156]

The Wings are icing an ECHL defense, god help the Kings.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Am I missing something? People want to bench Phaneuf now? I'm complaining about Stevens and Fantenberg sure, but Phaneuf hasn't done anything wrong but "be slow." He's still in all the right spots and playing a valuable role. The 'nasty' is just an extra, he's not in just for that.
