Kevin Fiala scratched for missing team meeting

[NHL1674]

Gets benched in the last game and responds by missing a team meeting.....what the hell was he thinking? Or does he even care?

 

[Dust]

Sounds like another former King, although not a winger but a centerman, Pierre-Luc-Dubois!!!!!

Maybe the Hollywood lifestyle changes people.

Funny enough he played all 82 games as a King last year. Can't scratch your shiny new big signing.

Pretty good hockey player but an even better idiot, a classic combo. Should trade him to Philly just to see if Torts can yell some sense through his skull.

Torts will stab him within six weeks.

Well at least he didn't cough it up at the blue line trying to dipsy doo. He should have gotten scratched for a week for that one.

Torts used YELL!

It's not very effective...

Hey Caps, so we have this player you’ll really like.

This will come as a great surprise but Rob Blake gave him an 8x8

Our front office is giving Milbury a run for his money

This guy kinda looks like Brock Faber

Blake does not need to rush, but I could easily see Fiala on his way out.

Not a Kings fan, so I am enjoying this, but lets be real, Fiala isn't the only one that needs to go.

That is a great surprise. I thought that he signed for 7.88x7.

the franchise is saved!

The guy is strictly in business for himself.

If I looked like him I would probably be that too.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

For context, he was benched for the last 25 minutes of their win over Utah for multiple unnecessary selfish offensive zone penalties.

The guy is strictly in business for himself.

That's why LA I think was almost about to get over the Edmonton hump. They were right there, and they started adding guy after guy who could score but absolutely not buy into their system, which is what makes them so succesful.

 

[Reality Czech]

He should be one of the 5 best wingers on the planet but he’s never been a particularly serious player. Easily in the 95% percentile or better as far as pure athletes go in the NHL

No he shouldn't be. He's not that good, come on.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Emmentaler brains

It’s really bizarre how people think Bergevin would be a worse option than Blake at this point. Blake could never dream of winning a single series even by accident, let alone seven of them like the Habs did.

Yeah he only learns the language everywhere he lives (I think he speaks 5 now) and during his shl-time he put in as much extra practice as he could. Besides learning fluent swedish in a short time he prepared for nhl by having english lesson on his way to practice.
Fiala always set extremely hard to reach goals for himself, he's nothing but a serious player.

Can he improve his game? Yes, but if he isn't among the hardest workers on Kings there's something going on. He' also kind of different as a person so if it's a frat-boy team I could see there being issues.
