That is brutal and another of the many reasons why I hate pre-season sports, that could just as easily have been Kempe or Fiala. I wish more NHL coaches did what NFL coaches did.

I don't think it was dirty hit, but it's always dangerous when you have locked in guys out there giving 75% in a meaningless pre-season game competing against bubble guys giving 110% trying to do anything they can to make a roster.

I agree with all of this, but the interesting wrinkle in this is that Jan Jenik is actually a pretty good prospect. Pronman had him in his top 150 league-wide and 7th for the Coyotes. He was PPG in the AHL last season, and projects as a middle six winger or 3rd line center. He's got some sandpaper although he definitely doesn't fight much. I've seen him play against the Gulls and Reign a few times and he's always stood out.

Very good player but I'd argue in his time he's crossed over from 'sandpaper' to 'rat'.

 

[BringTheReign]

honestly i find them hard to find. Want a Iggy one just because i live in Calgary and it would piss off some friends

Ask Bobcat Athletic to make them for you. I've had them do a few custom ones for me and fix another jersey that another custom shop screwed up. I either heard about them on LGK or on HF years ago, but I believe they used to do custom work for the Kings themselves. I don't live nearby so I always shipped stuff, and everything turned out great. I actually picked up a factory issue Doughty jersey recently that I might send to them to be corrected.

EDIT: I just realized you're in Calgary. I bet you could find a closer custom jersey shop.

Yeah, he's definitely trending more towards Antoine Roussel territory rather than a JG Pageau type.

Don't leave out Simon Gagne!

LA's 2nd line in 2012 was the flyers top line from their cup final team, I think in 2010.

Probably what i need to do. Need to find a 2016-17 jersey and get pro hockey life to do it up

I just know the official store for the Kings seems to have no jerseys outside the old core.

Zegras skated himself right into it.

Yep. Cuts towards center ice like it's no hitting pick up on a Wednesday night. Great hit. Hope Zebras isn't out long term.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Yea, trust me, on the receiving end of more than a few of those, not a good feeling.....as a liney, you get pissed first, then realize afterwards, most of the time player feels like shit about it....but then you get some......interesting ones.

This is why the 2012 was so dominant. They had two top flight first lines, and a perfect blueline 1-6. And no one got injured lol. Juggernaut.

this will give me nightmares, what the f*** seattle?

Couldn't get a cute kraken mascot out there? Had to go with the nightmare fuel?

Imagine if a winger had 7g this year and we called the line he was on a top flight 1st line.

doubt you can hire anyone up there who isn't on 20 kinds of drugs, so that's what you end up with

I want Gritty and this thing to have a relationship.

You'd think they'd go with Cthulhu or something, but nope, a furry troll.

You must be a blast at parties.

Anybody see this?

I'm all for calling the 2012 playoff run dominant, but the guy had 9g in 84 games between the trade here and the 2012 playoffs. It was on its way to being what today we'd call a bad trade, even if nobody really cared about Teubert by the time of the deal, other than being yet another blown 1st rd pick from those particular rebuilding years.

 

[KingsFan7824]

There were no 80's Oilers or Flames in the Kings heyday, but if a guy that got out of the 1st rd once in 9 years in Winnipeg gets a statue, goals and points notwithstanding, the first guy to touch the Cup as a King gets to have a statue.

I guess there won't be a Paul Coffey legends night anytime soon.

Penner had 3-8-11 in 20 playoff games that run. That’s good production. Penner-Richards-Carter was a fantastic line in the playoffs.

No one is saying he was prime Alex Ovechkin.

It looks like somebody reanimated a drowned Gritty.
