So, all jokes aside, can someone ask MSL why this is happening? Seriously dudes like Anderson and Gally playing ahead of this kid in the lineup is embarassing right now.
Kings are a big fast team................good start to the season. Haven't won a round in the playoffs the last few years though....
Why are all twitter links leading to a « something went wrong » page for a while now on my tablet?
Kings decided to stop mediocrity and signed a solid second center 2 years ago. He became the difference maker making the PO or not. Habs in the same time went with Dvorak : cheaper and younger (lol, re-lol). But Kings didn't stop there with that improvement, they went into a good developping team for the young players supported by solid vets like Kopitar and Doughty. They trade for another solid center last summer. Today they are knocking at the door of top NHL teams, the elite small club, while Habs are stucked with whining, questionning if they drafted the right player, etc, losing, whining and questionning. Let's call it LWQ status.
Kings have a couple of aging players ( Doughty and Kopitar) who play key roles for this team. I suspect that they will have trouble maintaining their high level of play when facing stronger opposition in a compacted time frame they will face in the playoffs.
Kings coach can reduce icetime and skip few last games of the season. Kings will have enough pts to do that. This is an old trick teams do with aging vets. Anyway, Kings are part of the party (PO), Habs are outside and watching.
Thank you for that observation… another layer of despair for us lmfao!
Cool story..............until they win a round in da playoff, it would seem you are jumping the gun.
As we have seen the last couple of playoffs....
He tryed hard to trow his big body into the offensive zone, bullying big Kings D but ooh,there was a small superstar Habs player on his way. That small winger was immobile and ohh ugly mistake Slaf hit that superstar. After that we didn't see him trying anything, like 90% of the team. Suzuki had an ok game.
Are you surprised? Any remote chance we had of making the playoffs evaporated when Dach went down for the season. As for the Kings, unless they add significantly at the TDL, they won’t go far in the playoffs. I expect them to be active, if not aggressive, before the Doughty/Kopitar window closes for them.
Right now they are in a 3 year window. They did it in 12 and 14, not sure the exact years, I have confidence in that management. Yes they will be very pro active and agressive to make it happen, as you know finding a good goalie in the process.
Third game in four nights; missing 5 regulars: playing a strong deep opponent and not receiving strong ( competent) goaltending, the outcome was predictable. I don’t understand what people are expecting. The results reflect who we are. There will be more disappointments going forward. Get use to it.
You mean it wasn’t all Matheson’s fault? I’m shocked.
We lacked the dynamic speed to breakdown their defensive system nor the size and aggression to counter the Kings’ physical game.
