Injury Report: Alec Martinez Finger Surgery (No Timetable for Return)

[taz346]

Best case scenario we're ****ed short term while Martinez is out.

Worst case scenario is LTIR for who knows how long--though that comes with minor cap relief and the potential ability to send down McBain and bring up whoever 550 + 1.1 can get us.

This season sucks.

No Kidding,
Injuries happening like they are, Sutter would be wise to stand further back behind that bench due to possibility of flying pucks. sheesh

 

[Sydor25]

Don't worry, Deadmarsh and Allison will be back before Christmas.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Trade incoming..

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Good lord, this is getting ridiculous

 

[Trolfoli]

To be completely honest - while the defense has been horribad and the offense has been non-existent, we don't actually look that bad. All things considered. Yes we're playing poorly, but regarding what we've been missing, it's not as bad as I would have thought. This should allow us to at least call up Schultz.

The Kings will still make the playoffs and everything will be fine in April, but damn, we're gonna watch some ugly hockey in the coming weeks.

Post of the day award for staying positive while facing impending doom.

Looks like we are going to try and get McDavid

Muzzin-Doughty
McNabb-Greene
Lewis-McBain

Who's on the trading block for hopefully a half-way decent defenseman- dare I say it- Brown, Williams, Stoll or (gasp) Richards?

 

[kingsfan28]

Looks like Doughty will now be pushing 34 min a game.

What half way decent defenseman would you trade for any of those players, knowing the context of those players?

El oh el.

 

[TwzKing]

Doughty, Muzzin, Greene, Mcnabb, Mcbain, mother of God

Does she play the right or the left side?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Hey, that's McMother of God to you.

 

[Reaper45]

Having a ****** season wouldn't be the worst thing for this team. No playoffs = rest and having a black hole pick in a deep draft would be a nice chance to reload the prospect pool.

 

[Reclamation Project]

This team will never miss the playoffs. This guy won't let it happen.

 

[kingsfan28]

David Schlemko was just waived by Arizona. Do it Dean, oh wait....

Prospects aren't ready for years. Unless you somehow land a Top five pick. This is not something to strive for with a Stanley Cup roster, with players in their prime.

To be fair, in the next couple of years one of these seasons is going to be bad because, assuming a long cup run this year, we'll have played 5 seasons in 4 years. That's going to wear and tear on bodies. Being forced to play short-handed so that its fair for the rest of the league isn't helping things (yes, that's how I'm choosing to define the Voynov situation for now).

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

At this point all I care for is for them to make the playoffs, just stay healthy when they get there.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Get the injuries out of the way now!

 

[scryan]

**** it, we should just win the Stanly Cup every other year.... We don't need all of them.

These two; I much rather see the Kings make it to the playoffs at full strength than see them exposed, just like what happened back in 2011.

**** it, we should just win the Stanly Cup every other year.... We don't need all of them.

That might make the Kings look bad, when aspiring to be a Benchmark team.

 

[FrozenKing18]

Better early in the season than late in the season, I guess.

 

[triplcrown]

Now what are we supposed to do?

[tigermask48]

Seriously? I aint even mad with that guy in goal and Sutter behind the bench.

 

[redcard]

Its really quite comical at this point.
