We suck, but I'm glad I'm not an Arizona fan. I remember how bad it was watching the Terry Murray Kings.
i'm happy, pathetic performance with just enough unknowns to keep some interest and with no points gained.

The Kings made the playoffs twice with him. The Coyotes just want to get there for the first time since 2012. I'm guessing we were ok with Murray hockey exactly one decade ago.
This is a very similar comment that we had even in their best days. The difference now being, they lose more of the meh 59 minute games than they win.
Porky scoring will boost his confidence big time stoked for him. Other then that just another afternoon lost.

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good
Sky is blue, water is wet, oilers fans complaining about the refs, Kings losing in afternoon games...

Nice finish from Prokhorkin... quick hands, then soft hands. He’s definitely starting to carve himself a niche and starting to push for a bigger role.

I’m not sure where to go with this one. You’re just embarrassing yourself.

Sure, but it still made all our eyes bleed.
Coyotes weren't even remotely interested in playing straight up hockey this afternoon. 5 guys back in their slot all the time is smart sound hockey for boxing out the rebounds Raanta was kicking out but that doesn't make it more interesting than watching paint dry.
I wanna see him on Kopitar’s LW..He’s the type of player who sets up in front of the goalie like Brownie use to do... but he’s got much, much better hands

I'd love to see him audition higher but I like what Porkins is doing now in building confidence and growing. But it's a grind, some guys can't handle bigger roles and that's ok.
Jim did a pretty good job pointing that out today with Amadio, his confidence/assertiveness has gone down a bit with the grind, whereas Walker has been tested with a bigger role and bigger minutes and more or less crushed it

Sure thing bud. Keep banging that poke check drum. It’s a wonder you aren’t the Kings goalie coach.

Iafallo does almost nothing on the PP. I think he leads the NHL in PP minutes with almost being a NPC - non player character - just a 5th body - and some PPs does not get a single: touch, pass, or shot. Yet, is never removed from PP1. I'd much rather see Grundstrom or Prokhorkin given a shot. Pro has done a great job, for playing on line 4....let him play with more skilled players. Or at least some PP time on unit 2. Iafallo does nothing on it.. Yes, I recall that one tip he had....but it's now 23 games played.
This was the highlight for me, made the whole game worth it. He has been progressing very well and now has 3 points in 4 games. I like his play a lot.
Not embarrassed at all. Which part do you disagree with? The maturity or the hockey part?
I didn’t say he sucked or anything. He’s obviously elite defensively but in my opinion he takes chances offensively that tend to result in turnovers. Looking for highlight dangles instead of a safer play at times. His huge wind up for a zilch of a slapper has been a point of ridicule around here for years.
As for maturity, we’ll I’m not sure where to start? Love the kid but he’s not perfect,

Really came down to one lucky bounce when it was 1-1 after being all over the coyotes moments before. Puck goes up, off the post , off a skate, then to a coyote. When we had bounces, just never could finish.

Finally home from the game! Would’ve been nice to see a win live. Staples was empty as hell, lot pf other things going on I guess, there was an auto show too. Besides the first PP, the others was dogshit. It was so frustrating to watch these guys just pass and hesitate to shoot the puck, not taking advantage of shooting and getting a rebound. The Crouse crash was pretty scary to see live, he looked like a damn fidget spinner going into the boards and just went limp after he crashed. I’m glad he was able to move after. Also I don’t know what it was, but both Doughty and Walker kept falling down, the one with Walker caused that 2 on 0. Toffoli made a great save and that was about all he did in the game. Lizotte was getting beat up like a little kid on the playground, Kopi and Grundy were standouts. Grundy was getting a lot of checks in, he had a good game.

Porky played well too.
I was a little confused on why TM pulled Quick that early.. feel like they could’ve tied it.
