Bookmarked in case of a crow feast

I've been plenty wrong before. Delicious crow is humbling.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Shut down that Fiala and Kempe please. LA has the 2nd best PP% in the league so STAY OUT OF THE BOX (Smith scratched I see good).

 

[glenwo2]

Kings are a good team, this will be a hard game.

Hoping for a solid win.

Well I'm sure the Devils will be UP for the task, especially Miles WOOD.

 

[Guttersniped]

seriously expecting two tonight from the franchise boy

Name checks out.

Imagine scratching Zetterlund or Bastian

I suspect that Nate is injured and unable to play. I think he would have gone back in by now. Probably won’t tell us anything until after trade deadline. Fitzy needs like 3 forwards as Wood looks like he is almost finished. Nobody in Utica who you would want to dress in playoff game except maybe andreas. God forbid big mason comes back

 

[TonySoprano]

We need a bounce back performance tonight like I need a session with Dr. Melfie on the Stugotz right now

I think Wood was overhead telling Smith "don't worry bud, I got this".

 

[Bleedred]

I wonder if that actually went into the thinking in scratching Smith?

The fact that the Kings have the second best power play percentage in the league?

Was thinking the same thing since Smith is absolutely guaranteed to take a minimum of one boneheaded penalty a game.

Side note, it's embarrassing they aren't collecting actual food for the "food drive" tonight. I would absolutely bring some canned food like I've done in years past but I'm not buying extra tickets so "proceeds" which we have no clue how much even goes to the food banks money wise or where it even goes once it's there too.

Pretty embarrassing considering how much the food drive would actually collect to help people over the years. I understood it during the start of the covid mess but there's no excuse now not to be collecting food.

Maybe they're worried that our fans will throw canned goods on the ice if the refs disallow a couple goals?

Imagine scratching Zetterlund or Bastian

Nope. Can't possibly do that. I'd rather a needle in my eye.

 

[Bleedred]

Imagine scratching Zetterlund or Bastian

I told you that we'd wind up getting bottom 6 help at the deadline and Wood will be in anyway, while Zetterlund is once again scratched.

Wood can't get off this team fast enough.

 

[My3Sons]

Now you just sound like my wife and kids

Bet you it's another "this guy needs a day off" thing like they did with Siegs.

Yeah, but we already had about a 6 or 7 game stretch where Zetterlund was getting ''A day off''.

It's much different than Siegenthaler when he literally got a day off.

That said, Zetterlund hasn't been given the day off yet and it doesn't appear it'll be happening tonight. Hopefully it doesn't at all. Maybe it doesn't?

Look, I'm trying to rationalize what in the blazes of hell is Lindy's thought process here, okay? lol

 

[Guttersniped]

I guess the coaching staff finally noticed that Smith is good for a dumb penalty at least once every game.

He needs 13 more penalty minutes to set his all-time season high.

The scary part when he had 2 points last game and he still doesn't look 100%.

Would be nice if we could come out and have a good start. It’s been a recurring theme since at least November to have a shitty 1st period. We’re just good at coming back if we allow a goal or two or we just don’t get scored on.

And last game was certainly no exception.
