Here and Now: The Preseason

Yes:
NHL point projections: How we see the 2019-20 season unfolding

9pts less than the Senators last year? They're nuts. The last team to end the season in the 50s was the Coyotes in 2014-15. Before that, the Flyers at 56 in 2006-07. lol

So did I used to be high on Kempe because he seemed like our best prospect? I asked myself this because the way he’s been playing I don’t think he should be on the team

I love how Vegas fans stand up and go crazy calling for a penalty when the Kings throw legal checks.

I’d swap Amadio with Kempe honestly

Probably wants to watch the Kings get bumped to fifth again at the draft

Hopefully this is the last time we see Carter and Kovalchuk on the same line.

I love to remind them that they use to be die hard Kings fans before flipping

 

[Telos]

Hopefully this is the last time we see Carter and Kovalchuk on the same line.

They look god-awful and shouldn't be out there late while trying to defend a lead...

 

[kings11]

Val Zykov looks pretty good

 

[kingsfan28]

and thats how you draw a bs holding call. just fall down

 

[bland]

Hopefully this is the last time we see Carter and Kovalchuk on the same line.

Kovalchuk looks like he has no interest in playing any kind of team game.

 

[HookKing]

I'm hearing zykov's name a lot.

That list seems to lower everyone's points by a lot. Only 2 teams hit 100? Impossible.

 

[bouncesonly]

Maybe 56 points....

 

[kingsfan28]

i 'm starting to hate patches. And that's a good goal for Vegas in the playoffs because playoff rules.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Nice to get the lead back and hold on. An entertaining Kings team.

 

[King'sPawn]

I think it's safe to say that Bjornfot will be playing to start the season.

I'd like to see him get activated with some offensive opportunities, like on the 2nd powerplay unit.

 

[kingsholygrail]

3-3 for preseason?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I think it's safe to say that Bjornfot will be playing to start the season.

Yeah, if you don't want him to end up like Vlasic, he needs to be on the PP.

Hell just keep him glued to Drew in every situation

 

[Kingspiracy]

Nice to get the road win against these fools.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Any win against VGK is a good win.

Pacioretty crosschecking Doughty in the face simply for being there is peak VGK energy. Especially when followed by mouthing off and shrugging to the refs, who simply shrug back and put up with it because reasons.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think it's safe to say that Bjornfot will be playing to start the season.

I'd like to see him get activated with some offensive opportunities, like on the 2nd powerplay unit.

It says a lot when the coach has him out to close out the game, and he makes a big block.

Bjornfot is mature well beyond his years.

 

[Stimpythecat]

3-3 for preseason?

4-2-1 9 points

vegas and az at 4-2-0

I think they each have a game left.

 

[sweatypickle]

Kovalchuk looks like he has no interest in playing any kind of team game.

so he looks like Kovalchuk?

I think it's safe to say that Bjornfot will be playing to start the season.

I'd like to see him get activated with some offensive opportunities, like on the 2nd powerplay unit.

I thought tonight was Bjornfot's least effective game. Lots of pucks pushed into areas instead of taking an extra second to make the tape to tape pass. The pressure Vegas put on from the start of the 2nd period and all of the ticky tack penalty calls broke up the rhythm of the game, and Bjornfot wasn't as assertive as previous nights.

His reads are great, just not sure he is ready to play at a consistently high level yet. I don't see enough of an advantage to keeping him up, even though selfishly I would love to keep watching him.
