Tidbits: Around the League: NHL News - 2022-23

[Dr Jan Itor]

I will undoubtedly be betting on Fiala to score tonight

Caught a bit of an LA/LV preseason game the other night. Looks like he's playing with Kopitar and Kempe.

Will be interesting to see if the slow start thing happens out there too.

I don’t know what to think about Kopitar, every time I have watched him the past two years he has looked slow and ineffective, but somehow he and Doughty continue to pick up accolades. I would have thought they would try to get both of them less minutes by this point. The Kings are a solid team but this feels like more of a transition year for them, I wonder if Fiala ends up with another center by seasons end.

I found this interesting...

It's inevitable....

No but it is Kevin Fiala night on ESPN

I don't think I'm there emotionally to watch Kevin on another team yet. The cut is still pretty fresh.

Maybe later in the season when we take on the Kings.

So in 4 days, or like, LATER later?

Shit. I guess I'll have to rip that scab off

Those Kings helmets are annoying. Straight chrome.

At least Vegas isn’t wearing their gold ones as well…

If how the announcers are talking about Fiala is any indication of expectations for him in LA, good luck to them.

Aren't they national announcers?

I think the contract he signed is a better indication of the expectations LA has for him, and I don't think it's unreasonable.

I'm convinced they're just well buffed garbage can lids.

I noticed two things in this game, what you said and Kessel ate a few hot dogs this off season.

I thought they looked like tin foil hats. Gotta protect yourself from the aliens.

Not a fan of the Kings. I prefer to think of them as garbage underneath those shiny, trashy lids of theirs.

I didn't realize until his almost instant penalty that Kessel played for the Knights now.

I dont have anything against them.

 

[AKL]

I think this role suits Leah Hextall a lot better, at least for now. Don't mind her at all in this capacity.

Well, you're doin' it wrong. You need more negativity in your life. Step up your hate game there Chuckles.

Agreed, though she's still doing PBP in some capacity. She's got a game on Thursday.

 

[Sad People]

Big boy hit.

 

[Wabit]

I can't even hear the announcers well enough to understand them.

Had to double check that it wasn't ours

lol. Lifes too short to be negative or resentful.

Thoughts on the virtual ads on the boards? They haven't been too obtrusive yet, though I could change my mind quickly on that one.
