bernier playing like its game 6 of the wcf.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I f***ing love Dion Phaneuf. Never thought I'd utter those words but he's the latest in a long line of 'terrible' d-men to help the LA Kings so much.

 

[Sam Spade]

going to come down to game 82 avs vs blues.

Man wouldn't that be awesome?!?!?

I mean not for Blues and Avs fans of course, but for the rest of us!!

 

[Fire Benning]

Winnipeg and Minnesota now have a 94.5 percent chance at playing each other in the first round.

I'd love to see a play-in game. Last one I remember was...Philly-Rangers shootout? Is that right?

I hate the fact the NHL doesn't have a 1 game play in like in MLB.

 

[Little Psycho]

Welp no Muzzin and now no Forbort

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Man Girard is fun to watch

 

[snipes]

I ****ing love Dion Phaneuf. Never thought I'd utter those words but he's the latest in a long line of 'terrible' d-men to help the LA Kings so much.

This board has a weird anti physical, tough D men groupthink.

as an embarrassingly bad team last year, avs fans would very much enjoy that.

I seemingly remember the Isles being involved... found this one that I remember. Up 2-0 needing to win, concede a goal with less than a second left before winning in a shootout.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. Especially once Seattle gets in.

18 of 32 with a chance to win the Cup is better for the league. I mean 16 teams used to make it in with a 21 team league.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings defense getting a crash course in chemistry haha.

Forbort out in the first period so the Kings have 3 RHD, 2 LHD...Drew playing LD some shifts for the first time in his career. Doughty-Phaneuf-Martinez-LaDue-Folin. Strange pairings, like Doughty-LaDue.

 

[Freaky Styley]

No matter how this game/season ends, Sam Girard is exciting me playing this well in such an important game, against one of the more physical teams in the league.

 

[57special]

Winnipeg and Minnesota now have a 94.5 percent chance at playing each other in the first round.

Wild are going into full tank mode.

 

[Osprey]

Welp no Muzzin and now no Forbort

I missed that Forbort left. If true, the team's two defensemen that I'm hardest on are both out. Am I dreaming? Someone pinch me.

If Brown gets injured, I may have no one on the team left to blame. What am I supposed to do then?

There's no one to replace those two this late in the season. Muzzin was fine and Forbort was coming along the last 10 games or so.

I don't know what's your problem with Brown. You might need to start cheering for a new team.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

colorado played much better that peroid, although it says more about their first than their second.

He's very elusive, I feel like he'd be just fine in physical games like this one, like Gaudreau in that sense.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings really need to pressure and control the game in the 3rd to keep the pressure off their 5 d on the back end. Martinez could be in for a career high in minutes tonight. They're already starting to slow down a bit on the back end.

 

[Aoko]

the trade is one for one

Larsson for Hall one for one just looks more funny.

 

[Morlu]

I ****ing love Dion Phaneuf. Never thought I'd utter those words but he's the latest in a long line of 'terrible' d-men to help the LA Kings so much.

He was never a terrible player. He was a terrible #1D. Sheltered #3/4 he’s fantastic. Overpaid but a great #3/4

Surely you don't mean the Kings. This isn't 2012, or even 2014.

Yeah, it's every Kings' fan's wet dream to be down to the 7th and 8th D on the depth chart forced into the lineup just as the playoffs start...

You take me too seriously. Raccoon gets me.

He's very elusive, I feel like he'd be just fine in physical games like this one, like Gaudreau in that sense.

He really is (elusive). Early in the season, I was worried the first time that he faced a physical team (it may've been LA), afraid that he might not get up the first time he was checked hard, and I was in awe that he seemed to not get hit all night because he dodged everything.

it isn't but LA is playing very physical tonight.
