Training Camp/Preseason games Thread 2021

Kopitar doesn't have legs Bruv. He's a slow bastard now.

He will speed up a bit once he doesn’t have 215 pounds of dead weight to drag around on his line.

Iafallos game has a way of making Kopi more effective.

I know, however I think they should cut Kopitar ice time a lot this year because he's not doing much and the kids are a lot more dangerous.

 

[HookKing]

Best player tonight is hands down Mikey Anderson. Looks like a vet out there. Impressed with Lias as well.

Indeed, all his shots in the slot missed the net.

 

[cyclones22]

Is Arvidsson borrowing Brown's skates tonight or what? Seems like he's blowing a tire every other shift.

Oh and right now Iafallo looking like the MVP of that first line last season. He did all of the dirty work for those guys

I will be surprised if they play kopitar and doughty those minutes this year. They have the depth to run all the lines.

Kopitar doesn't have legs Bruv. He's a slow bastard now.

I didn't mean fast, he's never been that. He doesn't have his game legs yet, his balance is way off tonight when someone leans on him.

Grundstrom, Wagner and Clague’s days are numbered. Most impressive out of the rookie pool is Byfield but I’m not ready to write off Kupari and Fagemo just yet.

He was like that last year. It was discussed frequently that he was stumbling and not being able to puck protect last year. I don't think that's rust, I think he just got older.

 

[Sol]

When Kopitar retires it will be a damn shame to not hang his jersey from the right half wall.

Maatta also needs launched into orbit.

Talking about Kopitar being old and a Depends commercial comes on during a hockey game broadcast. Amazing.

Well, hopefully he stumbles around at a .90 ppg pace and leads the team in scoring again.

 

[bland]

Lias Andersson's entire game has taken another step. He was already a beast on the wall, now he's damn near unstoppable there and a force all over the ice. The more aggressive system seems to fit him well.

Noticeably quicker first stride too.

 

[Sol]

So. The Knights have like 5 shots and scored 3 goals. Petersen inspiring hope. Continuing where he left off last year.

 

[Lt Dan]

Jesus

 

[HookKing]

Nice goal by Mikey -- its a start.

 

[Gjwrams]

So literally the first 18 seconds of hockey I watch this year results in that. For the sake of all your enjoyment, I think I should refrain from watching further.

 

[bishop12]

What's the project opening game lineup, boys?

 

[bland]

Anze needs a mucker, neither Brown or Arvidsson are going to go and get pucks.

 

[kilowatt]

byfield is gonna be really f***ing good

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Byfield is the only reason I'm still watching this boring game.

 

[ru4reals]

Holy Smokes Byfield is going to be ridiculous. Wow.

 

[kilowatt]

good to see kopitar, arvidsson, and brown getting their teeth kicked in. clague is absolutely f***ing useless on defense jesus christ, waive him

 

[Sol]

Okay jokes aside. Petersen has been garbage tonight. Some good goals yes. But no big saves at all.

 

[Trash Panda]

This “first” line has been abysmal tonight.

I counted 3 consecutive turnovers on the shift leading to that goal.
