Here and Now: The Preseason

[No Name The Nameless]

Stinking Porky was sent down. I guess that means he can go back to Europe?
All of those years of our Kings fanbase commiserating over the one that got away and now we risk watching him get away again.
But hey, if he sucks...he sucks. Hope he stays and works his way up but if not we at least get closure.

A couple years ago I posted that in the long-run, I thought Amadio would be a better hockey player than Kempe. I still stand by that, although that is far from proven. But Amadio, despite his shortcomings, has a far higher hockey IQ and vision than Kempe, he's just smarter on the ice. We'll see how it pans out over the years. I think a fresh set of eyes with Tmac making the decisions will do Amadio wonders, including for his playing time and linemates.

That’s all because Amadio is a true C and Kempe at C was an experiment. I still think Kempe excels at W.

Cant believe people lump him walker together. Roy has nhl poise. Walker is a dime dozen dman

Walker has no strength to contain along the boards and corners. On Vegas first goal, although we were PK, he’s step for step with Marchessault and tries to hit, pin, and control him 3 times, and all 3 M pushes him off like he ain’t even there. Then Goal. For me it’s Roy all the way.

I missed the game what happened?

McNabb backed into Lizotte along the boards and crushes him. We’ve seen that before. Lizotte probably won’t walk into that again!! Ha!

There is an opt out date for his EAC during the season. If he plays well in ONT, it's only a matter of time before he is recalled due to injuries or demotions.
