It was nice to see Kings hockey again . Keep it up boys . four out of eight points much better.

Update on Herby's green jacket.

Brown -9
Richards -9
King -7
Muzzin -6

I thought only Jeff Carter scored on empty nets? Whats he doing passing??!! LOL

Wasn't a blowout.

i LOLed so loud

 

[AKAY47]

I just can't watch Jeff Schultz anymore. How can Derek Forbort be any worst than this guy? His foot speed is so ****ing bad, the guy is out of position every play.

For your consideration.

 

[damacles1156]

Did Shore play and if so how did he look?

Probably won't play till Saturday or Monday.

 

[HookKing]

Lots of people crapping on AA but I think he looked sharper as the game went on. Didn't get much time but he looked smarter with the puck than your average 4th liner and looked to be anticipating the play better so he was getting to the right spots quicker.

Nolan sucks. Roll with maybe Clifford-Shore-Andreoff and it'll be sharper.

I agree, just don't understand the AA hate. He's a rookie 4th liner folks, what are the expectations exactly?

 

[taz346]

Jordan Nolan is not good enough to play with us anymore.

Wondering if Nolan's mind is on.....he'd rather be playing somewhere else. It's a possibility.

Hit someone , of which he did none.

Jordan Nolan is not good enough to play with us anymore.

He looks checked out. Rarely hits, no brain--he hustles, but to the wrong part of the ice. Still has some latent offensive ability but he just doesn't pay the price anymore. I remember when he used to bull into the corner and try to cut to the net at least. Now, nothing. Guess we know who Sutter was talking about.

I just can't watch Jeff Schultz anymore. How can Derek Forbort be any worst than this guy? His foot speed is so ****ing bad, the guy is out of position every play.

Amen.

Thanks for the service Schultz, now gtfo.

I don't think he's been horrible, but he's just 'there'. I'd rather be wasting that playing time on a guy who has a future on this team, one who is just as big but can skate and handle the puck like it's not a flaming poo.

 

[Little Psycho]

Been a long time since we've seen a low scoring game and a good PK. That was really nice.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

A win...feels good.

And yeah, you're right, it's much better than 6-7.

 

[damacles1156]

For your consideration.

I love that pick, thankfully Kopitar is declining the race.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Less heart-attacky, that's for sure.

Thanks. Eager to see him play.

"I think Odie would be able to as well." LMAO!

 

[BigBrown]

I don't get what you guys have against Schultz. He's the 6th defenseman right now and a stay at home guy, what do you expect? I think he's doing pretty well. Thought he had some nice poke-checks tonight.

 

[damacles1156]

I have to credit Brown tonight , he was a bull in China shop.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Great win. Still undefeated when I go.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Probably won't play till Saturday or Monday.

Shore should be in the lineup over Nolan on Saturday.

I dunno what's going on with Nolan, but he's not the same player he used to be. Maybe we should send him to Buffalo to be with his dad.

I don't think he's been bad at all. Some people just love to hate the guy.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

If only. He got 18:08 tonight, good for 4th amongst d-men.

I have a problem with his softness, slowness, bad positioning, and handling the puck like Matt Greene with a wrong handed stick. He constantly gets caught on the wrong side of the attacker's body and the only thing that saves him is a bear-hug pokecheck. He doesn't seal anyone off and doesn't get possession of the puck from the opposing team. He's just there. If he's been played 6th-man minutes, give those minutes to Forbort and let him develop. Schultz isn't (god I hope) in the long-term plans.

Edit: He got 16:15 sat night, good for 5th. 16:26 vs the rangers, good for 4th. More than Greene, fine...more than anyone else? Kill me.

Not horrible, but not even neutral fill in at this point, just does not play hard enough.
I'll gladly take McBain for the next few games if nothing else.

 

[AKAY47]

That's my issue. If you're going to give Schultz minutes, why not give it to someone like Forbort? He's obviously got a future with us, whereas Schultz doesn't. The guy was on the 1st PK unit with Doughty, couldn't even clear a puck properly. I dunno, then the clearance for delay of game penalty. Like the guy has 0 foot speed, especially in today's day & age, your Dman has to be able to move. Regehr and Greene make up for their speed with physicality and great positioning. Schultz doesn't have either of those.

 

[damacles1156]

I thought McBain was fine when he played , the guy sure is good on the PP.

McNabb had seven hits tonight, wow.

 

[kingsfan28]

winner winner chicken dinner!
Lot of icebags for the Leafs tonight.

Side note:

Drew Doughty HAS to be leading the race for Norris trophy this year, right?
