[Steve Zissou]

Turcotte is a hound!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kings look decent but then again its only Preseason and the Golden Turds are missing,Eichel,Stone,Pietrangelo and others so...

 

[kingsboy11]

I agree, Wooley has looked solid tonight

Mood.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Polar opposite feelings after 1 period here compared to the utah game , aside from the Doughty Injury.

Q and Turcotte look great. Turcotte looks healthy, and Q might be the most gifted skater to ever wear a Kings jersey.

It’s unreal seeing a guy that big, move that quickly.

The most gifted? Well Dionne was pretty gifted and that 99 wasn't too bad even though he was an old man by the time LA got him,,,well 27-28 was old...meaning he had played a tonne of games and minutes...Byfield defintely has the tools and he needs to put it all together and utilize his linemates better too

 

[bland]

He never was a speed merchant, but if he can add that to how he thinks the game, it would be a hell of a combo.

Turcotte's entire game is based on pace. Moving pucks quickly and efficiently up ice into the dangerous areas. It's not necessarily about foot speed or hand skill, just making the right reads and executing at pace. Closest comparable would be that part of Ryan O'Reilly's game. If he had that sturdiness, he would probably be one of those guys who fluctuates in the upper 50s to low 80s in numbers depending on the team makeup around him.

Whoo

DD have the same agent as Stone?

Vet player slow evaluations, decisions, surgery, rest and hehab

Cap space

[kingsboy11]

Jesus christ Laffy that was awful

 

[ru4reals]

Great pass there Laf. LOL.

 

[RocketKing]

Laff, you’re better than that.

 

[AbsentMojo]

That was a Lafailliere

 

[theMajor]

my beer league d partner makes that same pass at least once a game, rough stuff

 

[Surf Nutz]

I will destroy Crypto arena if turcotte doesn’t make it this year as a permanent fixture

With one fart , I would bet.

 

[King'sPawn]

Completely indefensible play by Laferriere there.

Byfield beastin’ tonight!

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Byfield and Turcotte look like the best players on the ice tonight. This new Byfield is something else

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Bustfield really looks like mAlkin when he gets that fine I’ll do it myself confidence

Game saver by Samsonov, poor Jamsen

 

[tny760]

jamsen didn't get a ton on that, bummer

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Not that I care because preseason but that’s a generously bullshit icing, dman milked it

Exactly.

He thinks the game quickly, moves the puck quickly, makes snap reads to funnel pucks where they need to go.

His foot speed has always been run of the mill, so if he has indeed found a gear in that department, he could morph into a real pain in the ass.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

LOL jeannot just whacking the shit out of the goalie
