In other words I have no clue what the lines are going to look like tonight. Also it is a back to back so Edler may sit as well.

 

[The Butcher]

Hopefully we can get a good Binnington meltdown and nobody loses an eye.

 

[The Pale King]

Chance to set a franchise record long point streak tonight, correct? (12 games)

Or was that yesterday?

 

[Schrute farms]

With Liz out and Fiala back, for this game only i'd like to see AI move up into QBs spot. QB take 3rd line center with Fiala/GV. Rest stay same.

AI/Kopi/Kemp
Moore/D/Arvi
Fiala/QB/GV
Grundy/Kupari/McE (prefer AK34 here though)

 

[kilowatt]

I’d like to see:

Kempe - Kopitar - Kaliyev
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson
Fiala - Byfield - Vilardi
Iafallo - JAD - Kupari

Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Roy
Bjornfot - Spence

 

[Chazz Reinhold]

Is it confirmed Fiala is playing tonight? I’ve only seen that he’s available to play.

Wait. Are people seriously advocating the break up of our top line? One of the top 5 lines in the entire NHL since Byfield was moved up?

Did I miss something? Why woul....... you know what, never mind.

Seems like they said , "I would like to see." Acknowledging that it aint gonna happen.
Pretty crazy ideas this late in the season, on the roll we are on.
But we got some wild and crazy guys here!

I don’t want to break it up long term, but I wouldn’t mind seeing how Byfield does at center and how Kaliyev manages in top six minutes before the playoffs. You never know how injuries will shake out in the playoffs and this is our second to last game against a non-Pacific team.

Plus, I think it’d be fun to watch

I would buy it if Lizotte was gonna be out for more than the 1 game, and they wanted more offense in that 3C, but it's one game, no need to break up what has been a fantastic top line.

And put Iafallo there no less...

 

[Surf Nutz]

With Kupari cementing a role on a successful PK, I think you bump him up into 3c and slide JAD into 4c with Grundy and McEwe, Keep it simple reward Kupari and see if he can handle a little more responsibility and the opportunity to play with Vil and Fiala.
No way you touch the top line until next season or trending towards playoff elimination situation.
The 2nd line has been a staple that is built around since last season.
Arvy has been unbelievable.
Like to see a bit more from Danault and TMoo.
Hope Copper can keep it together because the blues have some players and its surprising they are out and sold guys.
Even AZ battled back and took Avs to a SO today.
Guys playing for traditional pride, jobs contracts and redemption as spoilers.
KK has been a good addition.
Durzi is a concern and as has been discussed he was out and the Kings seemed to benefit by mostly allowing around only 2 goals per game.
But I get it , gotta try to get everyone involved and sharp.
The playoff battles are already fostering the more physical type game.
Injuries will happen.
Nice to see Lizzo only get one game.
Players, especially Fiala need to stay composed , intelligent and suck up any abuse in favor of getting PP's and ensuring you don't put the team on the PK .
Might as well make that mental shift now and have it in place before round 1.

Get the win Kings.

 

[Bandit]

That is a seriously terrible St. Louis roster.

You didn't know ? The posters here are way smarter than the coach. We got generational posters on here

No, we just have a coach with the brains of an ice cube.

Arrogance is a destructive trait. My boy todd’s like alot pro coaches/ mgrs- egomaniacs combined with a double order of arrogance and stubborness. See mike sciosia mike babcock mike keenan

Are you saying he will not get the team past the first round?
I like the flavorful writing though!

 

[kilowatt]

Why is considering new line combinations offensive in some way? Does me (or anyone else) saying “I wonder how Byfield would look at center” negatively impact anyone’s day? The meta commentary on this forum is really starting to get ridiculous.

Point i was trying to make is todd’s apparently unwilling to change traits that have hurt his teams success historically i think due to arrogance.
I dont think we’re going to win the western conference. I hope we win the cup and i have to eat crow. But getting past colorado my heart says yeah but my head says nahh
And thank for the nice compliment on my writing
