GDT: Game #7 : KINGS @ DUCKS - Saturday, 2/2/’13 @ 7:00 pm PST

[Vamos Rafa]

Bernier's first career game and win was against Anaheim in London. Can't believe that was more than 5 years ago and he doesn't even have 50 games under his belt.

So obvious and soft Nolan.

 

[Little Psycho]

Bernie should stop playing the puck a lot

 

[Water Knight]

WTH are Oggi Sticks? Apparently, when the Yucks score a PP goal, you can print a coupon out for free Oggi Sticks off Oggi's website.

Watching the Yucks broadcast makes me glad when I get Bob and Jim. Seems like everything is sponsored by something on their games. "This Brian Hayward stupid comment brought to you by Drano, favourite drink of the Yucks broadcast team."

Ducks fan coming in peace.

Oggis stix are basically just cheese bread sticks with some ranch and marinara on the side.

The more you know/ knowledge is power / knowing is half the battle

Lines are all over the place.

Games dressed as a backup do not count.

However, there are two different ways to become waiver eligible. The first is games played, which as you have mentioned he is not close to hitting. The other is years since first signing (and playing/counting towards) his pro contract. His pro contract did not come into effect until 2008-09. As a goalie he then has 4 years of waiver exemption, assuming he does not hit the games played criteria at any point in that time. Since this is his 5th season on a pro contract, he is no longer waiver exempt. Skaters only get 3 years, which is why Thomas Hickey was subject to waivers (spent 3 years on a pro contract). It's dated since signing first contract, and having it count (as in Voynov's year in the AHL at 19 does not count).

Here's the breakdown.
Years being waiver exempt.

Whichever one you hit first.

Thanks for the explanation. Is he still considered a rookie or is he over that now?

 

[RonSwanson*]

Gagne has had a real solid game...

I haven't seen much from him. I'll watch closer.

 

[Reaper45]

Penner is just an anchor on any line he plays on. Gagne and Richards look good together.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I doubt Hiller gets pulled after a fifth goal by the Kings. Only way he gets pulled is if the kingstake a 6-5 lead.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Thanks for the explanation. Is he still considered a rookie or is he over that now?

25 games, 25 years old, or 6 (or more) games in consecutive seasons are the thresholds for rookie (well for the Calder Trophy). So yeah he is beyond that.

 

[Whiskeypete]

still want to see 12-10-77 on the #2 line for a few games. there is instant chemistry every time those 3 get out there together. i dont understand why they keep trying to deny it

 

[Little Psycho]

Damnit kopi.

 

[bobafettish*]

short handed goal would be nice.

 

[Reaper45]

Kopitar with 2 penalties in one game? His knee must still be bugging him.

 

[RonSwanson*]

Kopitar definitely killed his Lady Byng chances tonight.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Kopitar is so ****ing lazy he's never been so damn sloppy and irresponsible

Seriously. Stop trying to force a fat peg in a hole it wont fit.

Gagne-Richards-Carter looks great.

Send fat boy to In N Out.

 

[damacles1156]

Think Sutter would dare Bench Kopitar ? now that would be something.

I am talking a Game Bench.

 

[Sydor25]

Kopitar with another horrific penalty. Never thought I would see Kopitar playing lazy.

Ducks pp is already 2 for 2. Another goal ends this game.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Ok that Bailey hat that somebody is wearing near the penalty box is AWESOME!

 

[Reaper45]

Still think Souray would've been a great signing for us.

 

[Reaper45]

Ball game.

 

[bobafettish*]

4th liner with a hattrick, what a joke.

 

[Little Psycho]

Man bernie is napping

 

[TonySCV]

Well... There goes the PK%.
