Speculation: 2020-21 News/Rumors/Roster Thread Part II

[KINGS17]

Speaking of Quick...

A pleasure to see the greatness of Modry once again.

Gotta say, this feels a little tight. Kings and the other non-playoff teams would be returning what, right around now?

I don't even know how that would theoretically even work with the Stay at home order.
Do they enter a bubble?
Do they get an exemption?

Kings, Ducks and Sharks would have to relocate out of state I think. Might make sense to have all the CA teams share a bubble out of state. The 49ers are playing home games in AZ - but who knows where we’ll be at by January

None of this makes any sense to me

haven't the rams been playing at home tho?

I think thursday's game is at Sofi as well

 

[DoktorJeep]

Would Vegas be a location where the CA teams temporarily relocate to? Maybe Phoenix / Glendale?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I have to imagine they started considering options once the 49ers relocated given there's a Bay Area team here too

Does Newsom have stock in the Rams? Asking for a friend.

the 7 teams likely will not get the extra week they wanted to skate/practice. Hopefully the players are skating on their own right now anyway.
What would really help is exhibition games but sounds like those maybe thrown out or only 1 or 2 for all.
Sucks but whatever, just happy to have it back.

A pleasure to see the greatness of Modry once again.

The one thing that stood out to me about Modry was that he had size, but I don't think I ever saw the man ever deliver a body check. I think Lubomir Visnovsky was more physical than he was.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

How time flies with Quick. Lucky to have him at the time we needed him.

8-2. Last time kings scored 8 or more goals was 2016.

I remember that game quite well mainly just because of the circus we had with goaltenders and I remember the scoring 8 goals and really liking what I saw from Quick, but at the same time not thinking much of it because of the strong victory and we were just so far down our depth chart at that time. We played seven goalies that year and nearly four of them had double digits games played. All eyes were on Bernier and just to hold on with Barbs until he got there...

Thank God he didn't go the way of Adam Hauser. He was a victim of that 10-goal destruction the Sabres laid on the Kings.

the Rams and Chargers have been rumored to be looking to relocate (temporarily)

Indoor v. outdoor is my guess. The Kings and Ducks were looking at hosting outdoor games when the season started, so that would make sense.

I imagine they get an exemption. Hollywood got one.

A long, proud tradition the Kings have of annihilating goaltending prospects with one game. Travis Scott, Dave Goverde, Ryan Bach, lots more I'm sure. But yeah, Hauser was a monster for the Monarchs. Such a shame he got ruined that way.

We sacrificed Adam Hauser's career so that Jonathan Quick could save us.

Not a great environment for rookies.

A lot of the guys have been on the ice together in LA practicing. Thats why Turcotte came home from Germany early, so he could join in with it. Kaliyev has been practicing in LA for a while also and Thomas and Dudas are now heading back from Germany also. From the various bits I’ve heard from various podcast interviews etc, it seems there is already a reasonably significant contingent practicing together in some sort of unofficial camp. It’s believed that’s why Craig Johnson hasn’t yet been officially announced as the Reign assistant (which is a done deal), as the promotion would mean he’s not allowed on the ice with the players as TSC.

You tailgate for 2 weeks before the event.

I guess we're going to find out pretty quickly if any Kings player Hull or Roenicked their offseason conditioning.

biggest concern is Doughty for me

 

[bland]

biggest concern is Doughty for me

Why?

Doughty's conditioning hasn't been an issue for well over a decade, and it clearly wasn't a problem for him then either.

 

[fivehole32]

I am concerned about Kopitar, you know he was rumored to eat all those cabbage rolls around Christmas that's why his production was so bad around the holidays.

 

[YP44]

I think St. Louis has availability

 

[YP44]

Why?

I think Drew's conditioning could be better. It is pure paranoia on my behalf but Brown and Kopitars off years seem to coincide with when they have kids, Drew's daughter could be one and I could definitely see being a father distracting from training. I know it would for me. Probably not a fair call out, but i put it out there
