8-0-2 against Arizona in our last 10. We're due for a loss I guess.

Coyotes are a pretty good team at Mullet.

Plus being beastly on the road

just has an 'all good things come to an end' vibe

but I also have zero faith in Copley so

No Lizotte tonight. suspect JAD will slot in

Macclellan adds medical doctor to his list of achivements

I would like to see Turcotte get a call up, but I am going to guess it will be JAD

To be fair he IS a choking specialist

Probably JAD no?

Turcotte?

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Easy Win.

1-4

 

[Schrute farms]

Great opportunity for Turc to come up for a few games. which means it'll be JAD =(

 

[AbsentMojo]

Cmon lets see Turcotte 3G 11A in 14 games this season. Would like to see him and Byfield doing a puck retrieval drill against each other in practice.

 

[FrozenKing18]

Call him up!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Road win streak is on the line!

 

[kilowatt]

Call up Turcotte please

 

[Nasti]

It’s too late to call up Turcotte now, isn’t it? The game is in Tempe.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Pheonix in? Friend said he was. Unsure if that's a "trusted" source. Hope he's practiced the wraparound after the Pens game.

Got to get the win tonight. Rest of Pacific let off the gas. Need to bank some points.

 

[Fishhead]

Turcotte will probably come up either way, these things are almost always a week+

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Why would they call Turcotte up for an obvious roster spot when they could Sean Walker him by playing JAD, avoiding calling him up later in the season because we're competing and he doesn't have much experience under his belt, then lose JAD for nothing in the offseason before saying Turcotte has to earn a spot because he has no experience?

I guess on the bright side we can only do this SO many more years in a row because we're short on prospects/assets now

 

[AbsentMojo]

Need Nov 20th to be Turc-y day

 

[Seattle King]

Playing the perennial waiver candidate JAD, who is a known quantity that leaves much to be desired, instead of the No.5 draft pick who has earned a look and an opportunity, is the height of poor management, so I am completely unsurprised.

I think Turc would have been called up already if it was a home game. This is the first time we've seen sustained play by Turc and glimpses of why he was a top pick, they might want to roll with it for a while too. It's hard to justify the block/experience card right now because they certainly aren't playing it with Laferriere and they have every excuse to do so.

I don't get the JAD love affair though. He's a solid player but it's pretty obvious the writing is on the wall with him. Of course I thought the same about Grundstrom, and look what happened there.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Re Copley, Kings are off for 4 days after tonite so I dont see the logic so much.. I guess their 3rd game in 5 days so theres that. Still i think its not a great idea and Copley is not a solution going fwd. Id give him back to backs only and look to solve the problem for this season by experimenting w Rittich and looking for a trade.

 

[YP44]

feels like a loss. hope i am wrong, or that LA at least gets one point

 

[johnjm22]

JAD has earned it more than Turcotte has.

They had Moverare jump on a plane after last night's game. Hard to claim it's a logistical issue when they are calling someone else up to ride the pine.

JAD gets underappreciated in the same way Derek Armstrong - not overly skilled but his effort is never in question. Got a handful of NHL games per season until he finally played more than half a season when he was 23. He finally started putting up good numbers at the age of 29, but he still faced vitriol for being miscast as a top-six player.

I still think he can be a decent bottom-six player, but he needs to be more reliable defensively, particularly on the PK.
