Dwight King continues to be underrated.

Somebody put that knob who hurt Toffoli through the glass now.

I'm okay having someone take a one game suspension for that. Sends a message. DF with us.

#13 and #89...

Dwight King continues to be underrated.

The problem with King is that he goes through stretches where he's god awful.

I say this every game, but it really amazes me how people are critical of King.

I think he's finally in a position on that line with Carter/Toffoli in which he can succeed. He does all the dirty work, and he has our two best forwards finishing for him. It's a perfect situation for King, one in which his strengths can be highlighted (safe, strong board play, cycles).

but i use to hate this guy

[Alisa]

Has Toffoli been back on?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Has Toffoli been back on?

Yup.

 

[DocWest]

Get Stoll off the ice before he can take a penalty.

Agreed. If he pots one from time to time, sweet, but I'm not expecting a lot of goals, but I do expect him to be physical.

it's usually when there's a team slump

which is fine, it's not really King's role to start streaking when the overall team sucks

the problem is that when the team is slumping, Kopitar's line has a scoring drought

 

[taz346]

Beautiful work by Kings in these last few minutes. Impressive as hell

He told me to tell you that he doesn't hate you anymore either

 

[Scottkmlps]

Gaborik deserves a goal tonight with they way he's played.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

He told me to tell you that he doesn't hate you anymore either

Was he smiling when he said it?

You just described Kopitar, and every single Kings player over the last Seven years.

Even Quick/Doughty went a month or so this year of being God awful.

 

[DocWest]

lol, Brown.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Brown...lol

 

[KingPuckChoo]

[Raccoon Jesus]

lol, Brown.

Gahaha. Someone pass that guy a skate stone.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

He told me to tell you that he doesn't hate you anymore either

i'm still pouting Quick though lol

 

[Alisa]

Yup.

Whew. Thanks!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Aaaaand that's what hurts quicks save percentage

 

[DocWest]

Jesus, just get an empty net goal. ****

 

[Bee Sheriff]
