suck one, knights

awesome night for carter

 

[kilowatt]

I doubt it. Isn’t he already 26?

i meant this season lmao. weve had lizotte and amadio, why not prokhorkin

 

[Bandit]

Feels like either Carter scores the winner or Vegas wins 8-3.

Not bad.

 

[Legionnaire]

Love it!!! ESaD Vegas!!!

 

[kingsholygrail]

We weren't a slump buster today! Fitting for Carter to have the GWG.

So I feel like none of those guys are a 'true 2C' (yet) but each one of them is a good-ish 3C. Depth is good!

Always feels good to beat Vegas, especially when they get ref gifts and still choke.

The knights can suck two...

 

[kings11]

Could Prokhorkin eventually be a 2C?

The guy is a middle 6 LW... he’s much better on the wing than at center... Heck, I’d give him some run with Kopi and Brownie.. Kopi always thrives with gives that attack the net and are physical

 

[riznat]

Is it just me or has Brown been struggling for awhile?

Can’t believe we won that one!

Kevin Dallman
Nigel Dawes


So much for the KHL

Panarin, Zuccarello, Hudler, Tarasenko, Kuznetsov.

Come the f*** on, it's the second best league in the world.

This is the season to do it too. All for trying him with Kopitar. You never know.

 

[Little Psycho]

Knights can suck it

 

[Sol]

Heidi androl was better.

Panarin, Zuccarello, Hudler, Tarasenko, Kuznetsov.

Come the **** on, it's the second best league in the world.

Is it? Debatable, and second is still a distant second regardless of which league you believe. Not saying it’s impossible but success in the KHL means dick in the NHL.

Kevin Dallman
Nigel Dawes


So much for the KHL

players who were well-seasoned in the A/NHL

i'm not talking like the KHL is equivalent to the NHL but it's full of very good hockey players and a lot of grown men who have been around the block. banging a PPG there is nothing to sneeze at or else everyone would be doing it

 

[Little Psycho]

Yeah, he has but I'm not too worried about it. He usually bounces back.

How is it debateable? What league are you arguing is the second best?

You're selling the KHL really short. It's second to the NHL and it's different in the style to the NHL.

Success in the KHL can lead to success in the NHL. Look at Kuznetsov for example.

I get your point but chill with the broad brush.

What's with you and Russians lol

Creepy Carts

 

[Statto]

Kempe several nice plays but doesn’t get much credit whereas every mistake gets highlighted. Definitely the whipping boy this year on here. Great defensive play late on. Looks better at wing and hasn’t properly settled there yet, so people need to give him 10 or so games before coming to conclusions on the position change.

Porky I’d avoided coming up with a strong opinion on him. However he’s starting to settle and looks like belongs. Kempe moving to wing opens up a spot at C and he deserves to get a run in my view.
Props to Clifford for the nice assist on that goal. He must of had a shout as it was a deliberate controlled pass to Porky.

I’d personally take out Wagner or Luff for Grundy. Probably Wagner to give luff a chance to settle in. Wags doesn’t quite fit and whilst his speed is elite I don’t think his IQ or offensive instinct are good enough to make good use of it. I do think though that he has plenty of time to work on it, maybe in Ontario.

Toffoli, looks further away from a 1st rd pick than ever.

Carts is really starting to look good. Great tip, and without it there’s no goal for sure. He’s moving well and making the reads.

I thought the kick was a no goal. His weight was mostly on the other leg (you could see ice spraying up) so he had control of the kicking leg.

Quick was ok, good enough to give us a chance to win which is what you want.

I was disappointed in MacD. Kopitar gets a head shot and there was no reaction. He needed to go in hard there as that’s the whole reason for him being there, and why they’ve been so patient developing him.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

KHL is the second best league in the world.

But KHL success does not necessarily equal NHL success. Some guys work, some don't. it is what it is. I'm assuming this is in reference to Porky's PPG in the KHL, it's fair to question if that translates or not. For every Dallman, there's a Panarin. For every Shipachyov, there's a Dawes. Can't draw ANY conclusions frankly other than 'there's potential.'

 

[SherVaughn30]

Is it just me or has Brown been struggling for awhile?

Can’t believe we won that one!

Yeah, looks like he's definitely struggling. He and Kopitar had a 2-on-1, Kopitar wasn't really open to receive a pass and Brown was looking pass all the way when he should have just gone hard to the net with puck and shoot!

 

[Bandit]

Eh, whatever guys have it your way. Don’t care that much about it. I hope Prokhorkin scores 50 goals and we win the next 5 cups.

 

[crassbonanza]

Fun stat, after that win the Kings only have 1 less win than Toronto and have a game in hand.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Hope all those VGK fans enjoyed their road trip, almost feels as good as running the Canucks fans out of the building circa 2012
