What the hell is going on with this place?
Yesterday a guy was telling us that he was in the hospital again for shoving things up an exit and today we are getting erotic literature.

Same thing happened in anaheim. bad change, Cal's not paying attention...goal.
God forbid that the defense makes a mistake and Cal has to do his job. It’s pretty impressive that Cal never comes up big. Even cloutier accidentally made saves

Lmaooo the board is getting more exciting
 
Toby looks good again tonight, making contact, decisive pinches, and great footwork.

Every time Clarke plays it gets more apparent that he shouldn't be sent back. He's not playing against a B squad tonight.

Todd McLellan is on record multiple times saying he doesn't like having a ton of guys on one rink for practice.

The Kings have been skating in multiple groups at different times of the day for most of camp.

On Monday the Kings were split into two groups skating simultaneously on two separate rinks.

On Monday Clarke and Moverare were in Group B.

Brandt Clarke has been in Group B before.



On Tuesday Clarke and Moverare were in the game group with Group A.

On Wednesday Ontario Reign camp opened.

Group B on Tuesday was Ontario Reign camp on Wednesday.

Todd doesn't want 10 guys on the blueline in practice.

Todd has 10 guys on the blueline in camp.

Spence and Bjornfot can walk across the facility to the other rink and practice at the same time with the Reign without clearing waivers.

Bradnt Clarke can't. Moverare can't.

Spence and Bjornfot would have to be assigned to Ontario in order to participate in that skate.


Spence and Bjornfort were assigned to Ontario.

Accurate statement completely lacking in context.

So it took you hundreds of words to finally acknowledge that it was accurate? Good to know.
 
Hey apparently Stetcher beat out everyone on the depth chart, including Spence, Grans, Faber, and frankly everyone but Durzi and Roy.

It's almost as if that's a really dishonest example either intentionally or unintentionally discounting how the organization handled vets vs. rookies/kids last year as well as lacking recognizance of what really happened with TB's season.

What is with this trend where people act like hurt/IR'ed guys should have been playing?

So you are saying that the Kings played an injured Tobias Bjornfot in the final meaningless game of the season vs Seattle?

Is it at all possible that he just fell out of favor and was replaced by players that the coaching staff thought gave them a better chance to win and was put into the final meaningless game a long with the rest of the players who had been healthy scratches.
 
Man, I'm hornier for Fiala than someone else is for Clifford.

Clarke is just so, so advanced it's disgusting. Yeah he's still roving a ton but it works when he's not playing the Drew Doughty role. Let that guy feast. He's staying up.

D looks so, so dangerous with Doughty/Clarke/Durzi down the right.

Teaching moment on that dumpin, with Durzi, Bjornfot, Vilardi all kinda floating letting two VGK players quickly score.

I'm saying anyone that watched him post-injury noticed he was a very different player, as was Edler. I don't see why that's such a hot take.

So sure he 'fell out of favor' but saying he 'got passed up' is completely lacking context.

But doesn't the fact that the organization didn't make the moves necessary to create a spot for him, despite 100+ NHL games, a season after falling out of favor raise significant red flags?

I mean, again, how many other teams have ever handled a player like this? A 1st round pick spends 2 seasons in the NHL at 19 and 20 and then doesn't make the team out of camp at 21? That is just an extremely unusual and alarming path for a player to take. Has there been anyone come out of a situation like this for the better?
