We reached the limit when we sent 4 guys down to be eligible for AHL playoffs and then called them back up, that's why he's an "emergency call up." He can't be a healthy scratch for a game we have 12 forwards in, he either has to play Saturday or be sent down before the game again.
I didn't think he was an emergency call up though. He was before Calgary, than sent back down on paper, than official call up today.
I don't think we can do any regular call-ups, so emergency is probably the only way. Doesn't mean it was a true emergency, but I'm guessing the team would have to show some proof of injury if he was inserted in the lineup.

It has to be an emergency call up, we already used our 4 regular call ups. See the discussion on the previous page.
It is an emergency call up based on Kings PR Twitter. Maybe Danault isn't feeling good after returning last night?

I'm gonna puke all day if Danault is the one that's out.
They were saying they weren't sure Arvidsson was going to go against CGY

Nope, but adversity shows character, so we are gonna see what this team is made of even further

Allow me to retort
Maybe Kopitar cut himself shaving and this is what will give him a day off?

He'd just feast on a mortal and be fine. Plenty of young blood around here.

Well he needs to do it anyways at this point because he’s slowing down immensely. He needs to go full Elizabeth Bathory on some Slovenians in the offseason.

I agree.Yeah very strange, like with Mikey and Turcotte. Drew came back into the game and actually finished it though he was definitely hurting. And then DTD. And then IR. And now they're talking about MAYBE getting him back before the playoffs? Did he get a flesh eating disease from Marchand?
I'm not a huge "we deserve to know what's ailing players" guy but the Kings' injury reporting absolutely sucks
I think it might be league-wide - especially in US cities where the media isn't as dogged.
COVID-19 seemed to really reduce local reporters' ability to get information out of teams and while things are beginning to return to normal, it seems like reporters haven't regained their ability to get info.

No, because of the moves we made at the trade deadline to make some of the young guys potentially available for the AHL playoffs we can not call up a player unless it is an emergency situation, meaning we have fewer than 12 healthy forwards, or 6 healthy D or 2 G. So in order to call up JAD, some other forward in addition to Lizotte must be injured. Likely Lias is banged up, hence why he didn't play against EDM, but at this point in the season half the guys are probably struggling with something.

I may in the minority around here but I really enjoy The Mayor along with Dennis on their podcast... but this kind of stuff is some elitist, I think my shit don't stink kind of crap.
As we saw with Jack Eichel, don't start bashing the fans when the fans are why you are able to do what you do.

What a f***ing tool. I'm half tempted to dig for his cold takes but I don't want to give that smug douche the satisfaction of the effort when he's just a sidekick to a sidekick.
latest date I see in there, december 6th, western conference standings:
Yeah, when you're expecting 'playoffs' or at the very least a step forward, it's worth discussing what's going wrong when you're playing less than .500 hockey at a pace worse than the previous two seasons and a - team.
The team turning it around heavily doesn't mean people were wrong to wonder aloud wtf was going on at the time...god he's like a microcosm of this forum, taking snapshots in time and acting like things can't change.

You could probably make a case for Rob Blake as GM of the year if LA makes the playoffs.
Todd is just an average coach. Nothing more, nothing less.

Not sure what point he's trying to make other than stir the pot and be a dick.

Man. Even when I see accounts of people being harassed by someone who deserves to be called out, the OP has the courtesy to blank out the name.
McLellan deserves credit for what he has achieved. But that doesn't make the criticisms invalid.
I was never in the fire Todd McLellan train. But it's out of place to call out fans dissatisfied with the product.

Eh, I'm going to disagree. Twitter is full of damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead type comments. Its part of the media and one of the reasons I despise it - there's no space for subtlety, qualifying statements, or circumspection. It's all offense, no defense, overwhelm the opposition with insults and volume.
So if you're calling on a man to be fired on his job with nothing supporting your argument other than exclamation points, and expect as usual for your Tweet to be lost in the Twitter seas of time one hour later, it's funny to see them called back months later under a spotlight.
Edited slightly for clarification

If you were to see the standings on this day, April 3rd, (with a 38-23-10 record) back on October 28, when the Kings were 1-5-1, this would only be possible, if roughly 3 or more were true.
1. Quick and / or Petersen were having a career year.
2. Byfield would come back from his broken ankle in late December and be having a stellar rookie
year, with about 15 goals and 30 points by this date, April 3.
3. Arvidsson would be returning to a 30 goal status.
4. Kopitar would be in top form, Selke year and 75 points by this date.
5. Doughty would be having his best year in 3-4 years, at Norris level.
6. The PP would be in the top 25%
7. The PK would be in the top 25%
8. Another rookie, as in one of: Vilardi, Kupari, Turcotte, Fagemo would be producing about 15 goals / 25+ points.
9. There would likely be only 1-3 minor injuries ALL YEAR.
10. The Kings would have acquired another top player pre-trade-deadline, like Chychrun or Bertuzzi level
player, that has helped to propel the team since February.
11. Iafallo would have continued his early success and be at 25 goals / 50 points by now.
Answers:
1. they have both played reasonably well, but both sporadic.
2, Byfield still looks lost at times and still much a work in progress
3. Arvidsson has been great, but slowed TWICE, by covid and then the lower body injury
4. Kopitar is no longer selke level, but has had a good season, but far from his best
5. Doughty has been great, but now missed about half the season
6. PP is coming around, but still ranks 5th worse - even behind the Kraken!
7. PK 9th worse. Trending up though
8. Vilardi 2 goals in 17 games...played most of yr with Reign. Kupari has had flashes, but at 11 pts in 48 games. Turcotte has been injured half the yr and with the Reign. Fagemo 25 goals with the Reign
9. There have been about 10 injuries - several pretty serious
10. Nope. unless you consider Stetcher making an impact in a few weeks.
11. Nope. He fell off and had 0 goals in 22 games and only 2 goals and 5 PP points all year.
None of these things have happened. In many cases, it's been not even close to any of these happening.
Consider Doughty has never had any serious injuries and has had 2 this year. The entire defense corp has often been made up of players with less than 100 NHL games experience.
How can this team be behind the Flames by only 3 points?

For the numerous high quality acquisitions made within the past year, ie Danault Arvidsson, Moore and Durzi via trade, Lizzotte and Lemiuex, Edler, even Stecher, Rob Blake deserves GM of the year. The best possession line in the NHL was formed by his acquisitions alone.
