Ah Killorn with a hold on the pp

and another player playing with a broken stick

unreal

 

[AzKing]

Kempe is turning into a floater.

Kempe disappears just as fast as he appears. For a stretch he looks like he is figuring it out and then he is just gone.

Carter is taking his spot.

He's on fire until Carter takes his spot on return

This game really isn't as lopsided as you guys are making it sound.

Lol sure it is, these weekend warriors have clearly mastered the game in their own way

 

[BigKing]

Sorry guys, but Leipsic sucks.

Don't hate the guy or anything, but dude has zero finish and "looks good" only because he isn't boring and appears to be trying harder than the usual suspects.

No surprise he is waiver fodder.

He does hustle,

Agree his game is limited though.

 

[Sol]

Did I just see the lightning d do a between the legs pass to Vas for the whistle? Wat.

 

[Bandit]

I'm not watching, so Ican't comment on how it looks but I wouldn't be shocked if the GWG was scored 1:05 into the game.

 

[crassbonanza]

Then turn the puck over consistently in their own zone.

Well, there is going to be growing pains with inexperienced D men against by far the best team in the league. I was just pointing out a positive that I noticed.

 

[crassbonanza]

This game should be 4-0 or worse. TB has hit the post about 20 times it seems like.

and the Kings have hit a number of posts as well.

 

[Steve Zissou]

guess you forget how to do that after a couple dozen million dollars

Please don't show us this crap in the stretch we are currently in...

Depends on expectations, hes an excellent bottom six player

 

[damacles1156]

Poor Brodz hit the post.

 

[BigKing]

Game doesn't seem a fit for Bottom 6 but he isn't good enough for Top 6.

Classic tweener.

Leipsec is a great bottom 6 player, he makes nifty passes to dangerous areas and can gain controlled zone entries. He does rely on teammates to produce, but still has a decent scoring pace for a bottom 6 forward. Not sure why you would say he sucks.

 

[damacles1156]

I wouldn't say excellent bottom six, Casey Cizikas is excellent.

I would say average 4th liner, below average third liner.

 

[johnjm22]

I wouldn't be shocked if the GWG was scored 1:05 into the game.

Neither would I, Tampa is clearly the better team, but the Kings are getting their fair share of chances. The shot totals are even.

 

[tny760]

i mean leipsic's a league minimum kind of guy

i think he gives you the type of play that's probably above average for a league min player

 

[BigKing]

He's mostly flash with no substance.

I'm fine with signing him to a minimum salary and sending him to Ontario if he doesn't make the team, but I'm also not going to be upset with Blake if he isn't brought back.

I feel like people will be upset if he isn't re-signed because, on this team, when someone does a little something offensively and looks to be active it can easily be misconstrued as good play, or at least much better than it actually is.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kempe is turning into a floater.

He must be picking up some pointers from the wily veterans.

Ouch hehe,

Maybe.

 

[kings11]

Correction.. Kempe was rolling, Amadio was rolling then good old Willie decide he need him back at 2C... tell me why TF Willie can’t just move Carter to RW and roll with Kopitar, Kempe, Amadio and who the fudge cares at 4C???

 

[KingsHockey24]

I wouldn't hate Forbort as much if he was mean. Kinda like Robyn Regehr.

Shit I'd take Gudbranson and McQuaid over Forbort.

 

[tny760]

2 players fleeing the zone for tampa ON THE PK

they don't respect the kings one bit

 

[kingsboy11]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a game with the posts being hit between the 2 teams
