[KingKopitar11*]

Tanner Pearson – Anze Kopitar – Tyler Toffoli
Matt Frattin – Mike Richards – Jeff Carter
Kyle Clifford – Jarret Stoll – Trevor Lewis
Daniel Carcillo – Linden Vey – Scott Sabourin

Jake Muzzin – Drew Doughty
Jeff Schultz – Slava Voynov
Alec Martinez – Matt Greene

Jonathan Quick
Mathieu Garon

The fourth line is as random as you could get lol.

Poor slava paired with Schultz.

Also it's not Nolans fault that he towered Klesla. Blame genetics. Suspend Nolan for being too tall.

Cam Maclise

Sorry if I've posted this on the wrong thread but I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with an update on Cam Maclise. Is he still at the main camp; if so, how long is he expected to be there; how has he looked, etc. Thanks.

 

[Johnny Utah]

This is Clifford's audition to take King's place. Looks like Carcillo is getting a long look at the 4th line LW....Nolan, Fraser played with him the other night and now Vey and Sabourin...

I sure hope Lombardi doesn't try to move Auger to Defense when the kid turns pro.

That truly was one of the dumbest moves of Lombardi's tenure. Right up there with signing John Zeiler to a one-way 4 year contract after 23 games at the NHL level.

Not that I'm a proponent of moving Auger to defense, but his superior skating to Boyle's would make for a much easier transition.

It's the ducks feed but it's still hockey

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Thanks Jason, much appreciated. I don't know what's going on with KTLK/IHeart Radio. Those hacks. I always liked TuneIn better anyway.

Thanks!

Its odd, I never ever had a problem with Iheart radio in the 2 years Ive been using it. The only feed I could ever find on tunein is for 1220AM which is 20min delayed...

Tonight iHeart is saying they will resume streaming after the game, I hope this doesn't happen in the regular season since I work nights and cant watch the games...

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Anyone else think Corey Perry is the biggest toolbag in the NHL?

 

[HYORI 1963]

I know we're a better team with Frattin as our 2LW over Penner, but part of me still cringes knowing that Penner is now a duck again.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Frattin!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I'm sure Ducks fans will also be cringing at that fact at points of the upcoming season.

 

[kingsfan28]

And Frattan get his 1st pp goal

 

[kingsfan28]

I'm sure Ducks fans will also be cringing at that fact at points of the upcoming season.

By game 48 they'll be wondering why they signed him.

 

[riznat]

Penner will be fine (Again) in Anaheim. He will put up points in a more offensive system. The ducks will score way more goals then LA and their defense (again) will suck. Penner will succeed there but I don't think the team will. I hope

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

By game 48 they'll be wondering why they signed him.

Oh I bet it happens much sooner than that. Though he may fall in the coach's favor - I bet Boudreau and Penner would have a great time eating junk food together.

 

[Peter James Bond]

Truly.

2013-14:

Frattin 23 goals, 18 assists 41 pts. +11

Penner 6 goals 8 assists 14 pts. - 15

but Penner will have so many witty Tweets.

 

[CNS]

Frattin has scored in the scrimmage, split squad game, and this game. So...that's nice.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm thinking. Especially if Penner plays on a line with Perry and Getzlaf.

 

[HYORI 1963]

Watching the dodgers game in mute and listening to the kings game.

I'm good.

 

[goosh]

Leslie was pretty damn surprising for a 6th rounder. Plays physical and can move the puck. Sorta similar maybe a bit to Nic Des. Auger I haven't really heard much about and in the scrimmage, he wasn't noticeable. I maintain he was a mistake to take in the 4th.

Auger and Brodzinski were the two Kings picks I didn't like.

Auger is the type of guy you take a flyer on in the sixth or seventh round. He likely would have been available given that many scouts didn't have him in their top 210. I like the player; he was simply taken too high.

Thought Brodzinski was a reach as well.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Is Quick gonna play the whole game?

I don't know about doubting Brodzinski with where he was picked. He's a legit sniper with a high quality shot. Not sure if that'll translate to pro success, but I wouldn't consider him to be a reach.

 

[Telos]

Clifford penalty shot. Too bad he didn't score.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I have always hated penalty shots.

 

[Trolfoli]

Cliffy don't F this up....


LOL Penalty shot
