Where's the cartwheel emoji?

Long overdue and excited to see Danault in a better role

Pateryn was pretty horrible against the Bruins so was expecting that

Happy pour Danault too. But he actually has 1 FULL game to prove that he belongs. So let's hope he scores or make Pacioretty scores so that we could start the DD transition....

Ditto.

 

[Hoople]

Sorry what does honoring soldiers have to do with a hockey game? Why dont we sing the anthem at work every morning too...or at church...or at stores at random times during the day. Its only 3 minutes of our lives!

Complete straw man.

Ask the NFL if it's relevant.

TV ratings are down and still dropping.

I don't think those two are correlated, honestly.

Lol really, you'll blame the NFL tv ratings on Kaepernick??? hahahahahaha

 

[chinhook]

Kings have been rolling past week or so, got a bad feeling about this game.

3-1 Kings

Toffoli x2
Muzzin

Radulov

There are surveys that show correlation.

Anyway, getting too far off topic. Cheers.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Same here. Hoping I'm wrong, but this crowd isn't the brightest.

To be sure it doesn't happen, they should have invited a choir of young kids to sign the anthems.

Good point. That would've been a great idea.

Here's another one for you.

That first line tho.

If I wasn't at work, I'd be posting a link to "I Don't Care". The Jeremy Gabriel song, that is.

 

[Hansman]

I hope they try Danault on the wing of Chucky and Radulov tonight at some point.

Do you think Danault is one of those 1st round sleeper picks that needed a little extra time or change of scenery?


Sure would be nice if he turned into 25- 30 goal player.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Of course we can, we have our problems, the shot for/against is a small problem.

On the other hand, you gotta think that LA has bigger problems, they can't score or convert on their chances.

DD and Plekanec are suppose to drive the offence, they obviously aren't, hence the lower shot totals.

Give me Hanzel and another top 4 D and you'll see the gap close up. We are close LG, just not quite all the way.

You put DD On LA, and they don't have their present numbers.

The shots for and against isn't a small problem if we want to win a cup. LA has won two in the past five years because they dominate play. They have bigger problems? I agree... they're relying on Budaj right now. Unlike us though they haven't completely collapsed without their starting goalie.

That's the thing.
To make sure the thing never get politicized, get rid of anthems.

Thanks for the info though. I'm a bit surprised.

We did pretty well for the first dozen or so games with Condon last year. Give LA and Budaj time. There is a reason he never could cut it as a starter.

No, but he can easily be our 3rd-line center and pitch in offensively with at least 30-40 points a season, imo. He's a beast.

Yeah was thinking that, thought also crossed my mind if he plays well and one of Ghetto/Carr/Shaw struggle we might see DD move to the wing to try and get him back in the lineup - or 4C and move Mitchell up.

Will be interesting if everyone plays well if he sits next game

 

[Redux91]

Why? Danaults a Center, with a history of decent face off%, i believe he was traded for to become the future 3rd line center of this team, and i think thats what they are trying tonight finally

If anything, put Andrighetto with Galchenyuk and Radulov, Andrighetto has done nothing but produce in a top 6 role, more specifically, as Alex's winger

No problem.

And we'll leave it at this since getting deeper turns into a political discussion. I'm a little burned out on politics for at least 4 years.

Fair enough. But I'll reiterate : I hope the anthem doesn't get booed.

That's true. But at least they're helping him out. Could you imagine how he'd be doing with us? 30th in the league in shots against. Look what happened to Montoya...

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

5-2 Kings
SOG 49-23

3 stars:
1-Toffoli 2-1
2-Price 44 saves on 48 shots
3-Martinez 1-1




Because why not?

 

[Habssince89]

Habs are going to take this one. Danault will shine. 4-1 Habs

 

[antoniojr]

Nervous about this one..

Side note, what exactly is wrong with booing an anthem? Serious question...

 

[OldCraig71]

I expect us to get rag dolled tonight and outshot 45-22 and win 2-1, so in other words, a typical win.
