GDT: MAPLE LEAFS at KINGS 3/2/17 7:30 p.m. PT; FS-W, SNO, NHL.TV

[Bandit]

Kempe would be a roller hockey GOD.

 

[Scottkmlps]

McNabb's floor is a #6, ceiling #5.

Gravel's floor is a #5, ceiling #3.

We need Gravel, damnit!

McNabb's ceiling is a #7, where he should be right now.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Shore out with upper body injury.

 

[KingTrouty]

We better not do this bull **** 'play to tie'

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Can't believe some people defended McNabb thanks to his "advanced stats." Goes to show you why you can't rely on those silly numbers.

Partially why baseball is turning me off these days. Analytical nerds have taken over the sport. I don't mind advanced stats but the people who love to use them are usually pieces of **** that deserve a punch in the face.

 

[KingTrouty]

McNabb's ceiling is a #7, where he should be right now.

Fair enough, we need Gravel!!!

 

[KingTrouty]

Forbort, LaDue, Gravel all have top-4 potential. Forbort may be on the cusp, already. We are ****ing loaded on D

 

[HookKing]

What a play by Forbort on Matthews there.

 

[KingTrouty]

What a play by Forbort on Matthews there.

So damn sound and beautiful.

 

[kovacro]

**** off analytics and Brayden McNabb.

Forbort is already a legit #2. Not many shutdown D can do what he just did there on Matthews.

 

[Reaper45]

Shore out with upper body injury.

Brodz (or Purcell) come on down.

 

[johnjm22]

It's clear as day that both Gravel and LaDue are better than McNabb.

Could the expansion draft have something to do with why he's getting played over them? I can't imagine any other reason.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Shore out is such a bummer and figures. He turns a corner and gets messed up> just like Nolan or anyone else pretty much. **** this season.

Darryl Sutter.

 

[KingTrouty]

I won't go as far as a number 2, but he's certainly making a case for a four. With more upside.

In any event, he's a damn stud, Hook

 

[Reaper45]

In defense of McNabb, he's one of the only Kings players, let alone defensemen, that can hit and punish you. There is just no one else on the team that plays the body like that.

 

[Davit17]

Martinez showing some life out there tonight. Solid game so far.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Kempe would be a roller hockey GOD.

I can see it. He's stylin'.

Oh, you said hockey, not boogie. My bad.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Pretty much the only reason he consistently makes the lineup.

 

[lumbergh]

I might be overstating things, but the season is riding on the next 5-10 minutes of hockey.

 

[kovacro]

It's funny how many people gave Forbort a rough ride and labelled him as a failed pick. Some players take longer to develop especially guys on the backend. He's slowly figured things out at the pro level and it's showing this year with the big club.

 

[KingTrouty]

I might be overstating things, but the season is riding on the next 5-10 minutes of hockey.

I don't think your overstating it at all. We need two

He also punishes his team with his play.
