Just don't spoil our breakfast this time around, please.

(Otherwise, the puckdrop time at 4:30 a.m. is perfect compared to the East Coast games at 1 a.m.)

 

[bouncesonly]

Moverare over Bjornfort? oof, not that either have been impressive.

 

[Faterson]

What surprised me Moore is that according to those card numbers, Dubois is supposed to be a better player than Kempe, Danault or Moore. Oof.

 

[tny760]

Moverare over Bjornfort? oof, not that either have been impressive.

i think they said they're keeping bjornfot down because he's on the last game of his conditioning assignment or something. maybe that's some salary cap stuff but that's above my pay grade

Yea why bring up a first round pick that showed promise in Bjornfot when you can play a guy that wont be around much longer.
Same thing happened when they went with JAD over Turcotte/Fagemo.
I actually like Moverare. But why they dont give the guys with high upside their chance when injuries occur is above my pay grade.

 

[Fishhead]

Sounds like they want Bjornfot to get another game in after his injury, not a big deal. Both are capable left D. I will say Moverare is probably more a Gavrikov type.

If they end up using Toby, I'd probably move Englund up with Roy and go with Toby/Spence, who have played together often.

Gabe has had this game circled on the calendar. "This is the game where... Oh hell It'll probably be the game where I pick up another knock."

I don't know if it's a right-side / lef-side thing, but I agree. This seems like a great opportunity to get Clarke in the lineup. As an offensive defenseman, he'd slot in next to Roy which would be a nice complimentary pair.

I don't know what's left for Clarke to prove in ONT. He leads the damn team in scoring and is 5th in overall AHL scoring as a rookie defenseman. From the few games I watched this year his defensive game is fine. Any deficiencies in his game are nothing near to the tire fire Durzi was. And if Durzi's defense can cut it in the NHL, Clarke is by far more than ready.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

They're almost certainly going to get their licks in on Lizotte.

Maybe Blake will drop the gloves with Lowry

 

[FrozenKing18]

Can't wait for Vilardi vs Lizotte on opening faceoff

 

[Little Psycho]

Going to the game tonight. Sorry for the loss in advance.

 

[Little Psycho]

f***ing medical staff. Fiala situation all over again.

 

[King'sPawn]

f***ing medical staff. Fiala situation all over again.

So, remember when Kaliyev's suspension was "acceptable" because an injury occurred?

Anything for Lee?

 

[BaileyFan]

f***ing medical staff. Fiala situation all over again.

If he follows the normal Kings progression he'll be on LTIR by this time next week, surgery the week after.

Might as well start planning on having an extra $5.8 million to play with at the deadline and pencil Gav in for a Game 1 return.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

League put him on the front page for leading the Isles to victory.

Kaliyev got 4 games, Lee got 2 goals and the leading headline.

Greatest game, worst league.

I will never understand how this keeps happening under Blake’s tenure. These players all playing the following game after their injury only to miss a significant amount of time after. Is the Kings staff this incompetent? Why on earth are they not evaluating first before risking the possibility to further damage the player, extend their recovery time, for what exactly? What’s the point of this shit ?

 

[Sol]

As for the game, I have a bad feeling about this one.

-kings are playing the worst hockey of the season so far
-Gavrikov injured
-Vilardi is going to be trying hard tonight
- kings have been less than impressive against good teams.

I sense a blowout. I hope I’m wrong.

6-2 Jets.

 

[Bandit]

No Connor, so jets will score 8.

Stupidity. Blatant and utter stupidity.

Maybe.

But wins against Vegas, Colorado, Florida, and Winnipeg already aren't impressive? Some of those were damn convincing wins too. Toronto is pretty good too, despite their lack of regulation wins. You don't get a points % of .720 with the hardest schedule in the league by accident.

 

[kingsholygrail]

No Gavrikov is going to be really bad for this team.

 

[TwzKing]

Alright i have no more plans for going to a road game this season. Well other than MAYBE the sharks game April 4th. So the kings are back to be safe on the road

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Maybe.

Vegas win was solid.
Colorado was on the last night of a 3 in 4
Florida was on the middle game of a cross coast 3 in 4 and 5 games in 8 days and we were still outplayed, it took a Talbot .968 to secure the win
Winnipeg was like game 3 of the season and when they lost Vilardi

Kings have had a light schedule being rested and almost full health and it still takes a miracle to beat some of those teams.

Just like the NYR game was supposed to, playing well tonight would go a long way to assuage thus-far legitimate fears of strong opponents.

 

[Bandit]

Colorado also didn’t have Makar. That’s not nothin.

Anyway hope the kings come ready to play, but I’m not gonna hold my breath. They’ll probably lay an egg just to spite me staying up for a 10:30p start.

 

[chris kontos]

Gavi out?
No prob. Our 1-3-1 will stymie em
