Dont think so, he's still on IR, hasn't been activated yet

Ok, didn't see that

Islanders played last night & lost, and they're a mediocre to bad team. Does not bode well.

 

[tonellisghost]

Should be an interesting game for us tonight. The damn is getting ready to burst one way or the other. Changes are a commin. Better start righting the ship.

GO KINGS GO!

 

[KINGS17]

Well, Amadio is going to get a chance to show his stuff if the lines stay as advertised throughout this game. I am not sure he is talented enough to be a 2C, but am hoping to be surprised.

 

[mrkolice]

not much to win here, but a lot to lose. another debacle and we'll see ppl hanging from the trees. i just hope last two games served as an emergency call.

I believe they are last in the Metro not the Atlantic, but either way they are what the Kings need right now, either they are a slump buster, or it could continue to expedite some much needed decisions.

And if Kovy is anywhere in front of the net on the PP and not having his butt planted inside the faceoff circle ready for the 1 timer, I am going to get up from my seat, walk over, and dump a bucket of popcorn on Steven's head ala Bailey.

 

[Herby]

The Isles forwards seem ok, but that defense, yikes.

 

[Kingsfan1]

I hope they didn’t rush Quick back, but I also never have been this happy to have Quick back lol.

Who’s next Vilardi ?? Brown ??

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Hope NYI doesn’t start their backup goalie. That would be the kiss of death.

Hope Wagner does play tonight. Need that speed in the lineup.

 

[Little Psycho]

Pearson better sit

whoops, my bad. fixing it now

I would do awful things to have Anders Lee on this team.

Superstition-o-meter is tingling hard with this one. Back to back? non playoff team? Probably backup goalie? etc. Too busy to photoshop today but i'll try to squeeze it in before the game

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

They played their backup goaltender, Greiss last night,

 

[redcard]

I'm feeling super optimistic about this one boys.




Edit: sorry wrong board

Shocked how great an NHL'er he has become. He was skinny in college, he has bulked up, he is a challenge to move away from the goal.

 

[Jason Squirties]

maybe its time to stack a ****in line johnny

This is a cocaine reference and it will not be tolerated on these boards.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I hope we get our asses kicked.

I'm going 5-1 Islanders.

 

[Sol]

Oh I would take the punch, for the team: I just would like plausibility deniability for any alleged crimes. I am not that pretty to begin with so a broken nose or jaw wouldn’t be the end of me.

You're a true hero. I respect that. We can always draft convicts. The price for success is steep.

Healthy scratch for Pearson, in his fifth season at age 26? And on a very average team, that is basically rock bottom. I wonder what the Kings could even get at this point, maybe they could find a trade partner who also has a player in desperate need of a change of scenery.

If you had told me in June 2014 that Pearson would never have cracked 45 points and was going to be a healthy scratch in 2018 I would have called you crazy.

Never been the same since he snapped his leg.

carter-pearson-toffoli gave us some epic moments, but it's dead and for many years now. that's how i'll try to remember him. bon voyage.
