I.E.
That Blues defense is monstrous. Get the feeling they're going to be able to evade our forecheck a bit.

Always excited for these matchups, they're often almost as much of a shitshow as Nashville games, with random bouts of physicality and explosive scoring, followed by a random 1-0 games :laugh:

Keep going streaking! Playing too well to sit down now!

The key to this game is that Walker Roy and MacD continue not shitting themselves. They've played very well lately.

Giving him a taste of the NHL life (and pay). Rumors (not verified) are that his European Clause may kick in next month. Yes, obviously he wants to play, but giving him a look at what he could have over here vs the KHL. Strictly asset management right now IMO. Not sure if we have an NHL player or not with the guy. His vision and passing were a bit shaky in the AHL, but he does have good size, skating ability, not afraid to throw his weight around on the boards, and skill with the puck laterally on the rush (things I noticed anyway at the AHL level). Worked hard defensively too. Hockey IQ was average at best, but a new country, rink size and surroundings, so I'll give him a benefit of the doubt in the brief time he has had here. Not the end of the world if he bails.

Still not as tough as they used to be...they've lost Backes, Reaves, Stewart, Maroon, Ott, etc.

The Kings players, particullarly Richards talked about how tough it was to play against Reaves, etc during 2012.

The 2013 series was a war. I have never seen that volume of heavy checks in a playoff series before or since the Kings/Blues in 2013. It wasn't easy for the Kings to beat them 4 games in a row, two years in a row.

Quick was the difference.

Out here on the west valley it’s been windy as shit all day, then suddenly the sky turned brown. There’s even a fire at the 101/405 junction. Crazy times.
