Game #6 : Kings vs. Panthers - 10/13/13 - First Regulation Win!

[bmr]

The part you didn't want to read says Regehr didn't break even in scoring chances.

Against an East coast team that didn't really have it together, he isn't going to cost us (though it's fortunate his fumble didn't lead to a goal). Doughty is good enough that he can make almost anything work, so the Kings management will probably take the OK games as a sign that Regehr should stay there. But the top pairing is not as good as it could be. With an ace like Doughty up there, it shouldn't have weaknesses.

In crunch time against great teams in the West, I don't want to see him there. The good news is that Mitchell is looking better all the time. We know for sure he can be a good partner for Doughty. I'm not sure they'd take him away from Voynov, but maybe...?

The Kings are definitely a possession team, but i'm going to give Regehr a full season before I'm ready to lynch the guy.

on Hockeybuzz a couple of interesting stats

Kings centers are doing well in the faceoff circle, thru the first 6 games
Carter 70%
Richards and Kopi -55%
Stoll 49%
Lewis - 60%
Fraser 65%

and among the other positives about Carcillo:

Carcillo also has a positive zone start time with 70-percent of his shifts starting in the defensive zone, and 73-percent ending in the offensive zone. Also important with Carcillo's style, he has drawn the most penalties on average of any King player so far while taking the fewest.

Stoll is only 49%? Wow, surprised by that.

Stoll is only 49%? Wow, surprised by that.

Stoll always seems to start slow in the faceoff circle and then by playoff time he is our best again.

Lombardi is that you? I hope you aren't thinking that his skating miraculously gets better.

The guy getting paid over 3 million to be a glorified faceoff specialist is at 49%?

In six games. Everyone is off for six games here or there throughout the season, ask Kopitar when he takes his two-month sabbatical every year. The reason Stoll is overpaid is because of his lack of offense, not his face off duties.

People also forget to mention that Stoll takes almost twice as many Faceoff's as the other Kings Centers (not named Kopitar).

So if he is even around 50% with double the faceoff numbers....He is doing his job just fine.
