impressive pass off the boards by vilardi

that was really really close by tkachev

 

[kilowatt]

That was a hell of a play and pass by Vilardi

 

[KingLB]

Hayward wasn’t wrong, despite terrible D. The Kings did actually produced 3-4 really good chances.

 

[HookKing]

I don't get the "hate" for AW. He's a 4th liner getting glorious scoring chances -- chances not resulting in fishing the puck out of your own net.

It's more that he loses his man on defense constantly and rarely ends up burying the chances he gets. He probably gets more chances than any other player on the Kings, he just never learned how to convert his breakaway attempts.

His peak is subconsciously linked to Willie D, so all currents thoughts are inherently tainted.

QB not needing surgery is great news. Also makes the decision on a starting roster out of camp a little easier for TM and crew. QB likely had a spot all but guaranteed and now that comes open. Someone's going to get a golden opportunity to show their stuff while QB rehabs and likely plays 10-20 games in the AHL to get back up to speed and make sure the ankles 100%.

Anyone want to guess who leads the Kings in preseason goals?

Vilardi?

he's just outright bad defensively though and really that silfverberg goal was entirely on him

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Vilardi?

It would almost seem so with all the chances he’s had, but it’s actually from a fourth liner most would prefer to see on waivers.

 

[kilowatt]

does lizotte have the weakest shot in the league?

 

[tny760]

that lizotte shot when he rolled to the slot

that was a rob scuderi-level muffin

 

[Reaper45]

This team puts me to sleep.

 

[HookKing]

It's more that he loses his man on defense constantly and rarely ends up burying the chances he gets. He probably gets more chances than any other player on the Kings, he just never learned how to convert his breakaway attempts.

And how many 4th liners "learn" to even get breakaway attempts, much less convert them.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Awful nice of the Ducks to just leave their net open for ten seconds so Kaliyev could score.

 

[kilowatt]

wtf lol

 

[kilowatt]

that's super unlucky for anaheim. that sucks

never seen a goalie do that

 

[kingsholygrail]

Ah, Goalie lost a blade and couldn't get back to the net. I'll take it. Beautiful goal.

 

[KingLB]

Luck is turning!

 

[HookKing]

That's a highlight clip for the ages.

 

[King'sPawn]

That's lousy luck for Stolarz.

 

[kilowatt]

If the choice is between Byfield and Wagner, I'm gonna pick Byfield every time. I'm a Wagner sympathizer though, I probably like him more than most

 

[cyclones22]

I have a sound off but was Yakety Sax playing during that goal lead up?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This game will be remembered as the Comeback on Katella.
