Gotta start working in portillo over the petrified fossils currently frozen in the crease. Sharks a good place to start

Rittich it is I guess with Kuemper waiting for Weds.
I wouldn't mind seeing Portillo and Copley and Ontario getting roasted only makes it possible to over ride Hiller's Safety Dance.

Goaltending might honestly be this team's biggest concern right now.
The Kings are 3rd in the league in expected goals against per 60 and 6th in the league in expected goals for per 60.... I know this team has had their issues defensively this year. But the advanced stats seem to suggest goaltending is certainly the team's main issue.
Both Kuemper and Rittich are near the bottom of the league in terms of goals saved above expected as well.
This team is probably sitting at 8-9 wins right now if they had even just solid, middle of the pack goaltending. Will be interesting to see how things go as the season progresses. Kings might end up needing to trade for a goaltender (assuming Portillo isn't ready) but don't have a ton of flexibility with the cap.

Nobody else but Portillo should play anyways
The other guys are backups and nothing else

F*** your ice cream!
He's not ready
Goaltending is largely mental and he will be mentally scarred by the NHL level talent. It will be important to call him up a few times this season to dip his toe in the deep end and maybe get singed a little so he knows he needs to grow, but he is not ready to be napalmed

Where's the fun in that? Just chuck him in the deep end, gators & all.

Kings are all in to win for all the staff's sake of keeping their jobs.
If a tender is injured < I think the Kings go with the hot hand from the Reign.
Right now that seems to be Portillo.
You never know if a player is ready for sure until you throw him in there.

Instead of napalm, how about just a small amount of C4 to get him free from the ahl?
