At least Lizotte is in a red jersey now
Those at least 14+ days not playing in a game sure weren't a good time to see what we had in anyone but JAD

Point % wise LA is getting no respect on power rankings. I hope teams are sleeping on them as well

Everyone is sleeping on them, it's crazy
I like it this way to some degree but if you ever needed proof that people don't watch west coast games (re awards for doughty kopitar quick) here you go
Some friends of mine on the east coast that arent Kings fans (some even hate the Kings) have said the Kings are the best team they have seen this year. I like that the media and power rankings gloss over them because it keeps the pressure low and the mood light.

Digging around different stats, it's amazing how many of them the Kings rank #1 in. Here's a new one I saw today.
Kings have the lead more than any other team in the league, and it's by a pretty wide margin.

i've been huffing bondo fumes all day so i might be missing something here but bro what
Dude, I'm blind as a goddamn bat, 1990-1991, then 1980-1981, directly below, Yea.....I gotta pay more attention to shit like that lmao
They lead in a lot of important metrics, on the stat sheet they are pretty dominant.
I've had time to watch quite a few more games on ESPN+ this year and it's been kind of a "holy shit" moment. After a couple of months it's easy see the gap between the Kings and most other teams. The biggest eye-opener is watching teams where lines or guys take shifts off mentally - this team just doesn't do that often. Or teams that have no idea how to play as a unit, or come at you in waves line after line. It's not solely a skill thing, it's their mentality. Not many teams have that.

TSN literally has LA #1 on the power rankings this week, so I don't know that this team is being disrespected or that teams are sleeping on LA. They're a top five team in the league right now, and an argument could be made for #1.

I have canceled my subscription to The Athletic. It has turned into almost as big a rag as the hockey news.
TSN is very Canadian based heavy and has not been the same since Mackenzie left. It’s still provides some good articles though.
I picked up a hockey news prospect guide yesterday that was recently done and they had Byfield as a 51st best prospect under 21. I didn’t have to read any further to know that they’re still going downhill in a hurry. I threw it back on the shelf and this will be the first year that I haven’t picked up the prospect guide since the 90s

Predict: which contract will age better PLD or Huberblow? I cant decide
At least PLD has some upside at 25. Hub is 30. He's done.

PLD can suck shit in the regular season if he delivers in the playoffs. He’s one of the few new guys to the system. I’m fine giving him some time still
Few players improve their numbers in the playoffs. Must experience at least a little bit of a drop off and some completely disappear.

I canceled mine about a year ago. Eric Stephens is admirable enough, but I don't find his writing very informative. His interviews (when on the mic) are always long and drawn out and also don't contain much substance. Hard pass for me.
FWIW He writes for both LA and ANA, so... whatever.
Raccoon Jesus
We were right there
I'm willing to let him grow/play out but it's very annoying that the guy gets some of the cushiest minutes in the NHL and has one power play point to show for it.
SaltyElkHunter
I …. am…. The LA Kings!
The thing I worry about PLD is after year 4 he doesn’t want to be a hockey player and has daddy issues and wants to be an actor.
