Pre-Game Talk: Kings Vs. Nux

[HYORI 1963]

Apparently, Muzzin may be a healthy scratch per morning skating.

I think a lot of us saw this one coming.

King – Kopitar – Carter Brown – Stoll – Williams Pearson/Frattin – Richards – Toffoli Clifford – Fraser – Nolan/Lewis Mitchell – Doughty Regehr – Voynov Martinez – Greene Muzzin Notes: Matt Frattin took the first shift alongside Mike Richards and Tyler Toffoli.

Hopefully traded before game time so we don't have to put up with any more of his garbage passing off as D...

 

[theMajor]

id take Muzzin at his worst over Matt Greene....

Problem with Muzzin is that he's just not a 1st pairing defenseman. Problem with the team is we need someone capable of playing with Doughty, and there isn't anyone.

 

[HYORI 1963]

What's wrong with Greene? He's a solid SAH dman.

I love it when Muzzin gets benched. He comes back monstrous.

not looking forward to tonight's 1-goal effort.

How's that for pressure Quick: "you wanna win, pitch a shutout."

 

[YP44]

I feel like the canucks are due for a victory against us. I am hoping we get a loser point though.
I wonder if there will be any pushback on brown.

Shutout doesn't do it for me, I want the perfect game: no SOG or penalties.

i like tonight's lineup and I see bigger things coming from some of those small tinkerings. Always loved Mitchell with Doughty, the problem is still finding him a long term partner. Muzzin damned himself unfortunately, and he's still bizarre--on one hand, he seems to be the only one who can keep up with Doughty, on the other, he looks absolutely lost throughout the rest of the lineup. Interesting to see what happens there.

Anyway, even though it seems up in the air as to whether it's Pearson or Frattin next to Toffoli and Richards tonight, I'm really looking forward to seeing that line's performance!

his play has been abominable lately

LA wins 3-2 but Mike Richards is on the ice for both goals against. HF LA board goes crazy.

 

[Winger23]

Oh hey look, can't score so let's swap out an offensive Dman for a defensive one and make no changes up front. Weeeee.

Kings win if the elite line scores. Prob not if they don't.

I should know who this is, but... not... sure anymore...

 

[Trolfoli]

Van!!!!! Finally a bad team the Kings can beat!!!!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

id take Muzzin at his worst over Matt Greene....

You see how a 5'11, 195 pound forward on the Wings completely outmuscled and knocked Muzzin easily off the puck that led to the Wings' 3rd goal? Muzzin at his worst doesn't belong in the NHL. Would you welcome Randy Jones back on the Kings? Because that's exactly who he plays like when he has his head up his ass.

thanks for the jinx

 

[Fishhead]

Muzzin was playing well for a while but he needs to sit. His screwups always seem to be at the worst possible time.

Not worried about losing his offense, the Kings score when they move it out of the zone quickly. That's not one of Muzz's strong points.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Well let's see if they finally put in Pearson or not. If they do, I hope it's not for Frattin. Dudes been in beast mode of late.

They should make the sedins and kessler healthy scratches to improve their chances of winning imo. Has worked for every team so far missing their best players.

 

[Winger23]

As far as muzzin goes, hes a liability if he isn't scoring. I can't remember his last goal.

 

[HYORI 1963]

I actually don't mind Muzzin that much. Personally, I think he's been one of our best hitters on defense.

I wouldn't mind a rotation of Muzzin, Greene and RR.
