portillol still the goalie I remember him being

Is the Hockey Club PA announcer the same guy who did the Kings after David Courtney died? Sounds exactly like him. I remember his voice cracking every time he announced Quick’s name.

Yep, Dave Joseph.

This game feels like the Kings were trying to be nice to the new Utah fans and get their hopes up for the season so they buy more tickets. The Kings using their projected "4th line" as the #1 line and AHL guys. While also put their projected "3rd pairing" as the #1 pairing and Utah using their whole projected team.

Lewis looks absolutely cooked.

 

[goosh]

I like what Helenius brings but he handles the puck like a grenade. Needs a lot more time in the A as far as I'm concerned.

This Utah Broadcast team is absolutely f***ing atrocious.

This Utah Broadcast team is absolutely f***ing atrocious.

It's like they've never seen hockey before lol

 

[Sol]

Why didn’t the Kings just go after Lawson Crause rather than get that bum PLD.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Clarke looks like he is trying to do everything all at once and over playing the game.

The forced bravado and quips from the entire broadcast team just reeks.

Only can get better from here, I guess?

The better question is why they didn't go after Sergachev instead of PLD

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Does anyone know if Utah is going to get rid of those giant walls behind each net? I know they are the basketball seats pushed up for the ice but it looks horrible!

 

[Trash Panda]

Lewis looks absolutely cooked.

He is an older vet who never plays a “pre season standout” type of game to begin with.

However, even by that standard, it’s been a rough showing.

The walls keep the Mongols from attacking

"the people of Utah are jacked, but not only that they hang out at the chillest restaurants, have the freshest clothes, and hang out with the hottest dudes"

This broadcast in a nutshell.

 

[King'sPawn]

Two-man advantage. Would be a great opportunity to tie it up.

[King'sPawn]

The one-timer from Fagemo is quickly predictable.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Two-man advantage. Would be a great opportunity to tie it up.

Turcotte!!!

thankfully its the only player I want to really come out of the preseason swinging. Turcotte baby.

 

[Lt Dan]

Turc!

 

[King'sPawn]

Nice handle in front by Turcotte. Good pass to the slot from Pinelli.

Those are the best net front hands I've seen since Vilardi. Definitely what you want from a Top 5 pick

To be fair, that puck coming of Villardis stick is a roof job 99/100 times.

Still great to see Turcotte making plays where he is most effective, man advantage or not.
