News Article: Jamie McBain talks tryout with Monarchs

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

LOL, Sami Salo is looking for a job too. Come one, come all, to the LA Kings! Bring your friends- can they play D?!

What are Modry, Preissing, Gauthier, and Randy Jones up to these days?

Maybe we can get DD44 back from Montreal and Peter Harrold back from New Jersey!

Modry actually works for the Kings in some capacity. I saw him on one of those intermission deals this weekend but I forgot what he does.

I asked about him on the Buffalo board. I got "Decent shot...sucks at everything else" and "Calling him a pylon would be an insult to pylons." Ouch.

That's the same fan base that said Regehr should retire when we got him.

Pretty sure his current fan base says that too...

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Oh, I want Regehr off the team at the end of the year too, but he hasn't been the problem.

 

[Reclamation Project]

You're right. Greene, McNabb, Muzzin, Williams, Stoll, Richards, Nolan, and Andreoff for not being Crosby 2.0. Have been the problem.

Liquor dilutes my sarcasm detector. Haven't waves of injuries and suspensions been the problem?

 

[Reclamation Project]

It was sarcasm.

 

[kingsfan]

Not this portion of it, thanks. The guy can still play and play well.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

It was sarcasm.

I have no problems with Regehr also. Same goes for Greene.

 

[damacles1156]

RR/Greene have played well I think. Under the circumstances, you can't ask any more than what those guys have provided.

 

[Trolfoli]

If Regehr is gone.. who kills penalties on the left? I know Martinez gets PK work... but that leaves Muzzin/McNabb on the PK...

 

[bmr]

I'm very interested to see how McBain will do on this team. Sometimes a change of scenery makes all the difference.

McNabb seems to be getting better, but I still wouldn't trust him in a playoff series. I'm not sure his ceiling is much higher than what we've already seen. He really needs to work on his skating and decision making.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Reminds me of a right handed Randy Jones!

 

[KingCanadain1976]

I would love to see McBaine play the pp giving Drew so time off. Imo drew is playing to much and needs to cut back his mins.

Doesn't Muzzin already get p.k. time? I'm sure McNabb does as well. The Kings don't roll out 2 p.k. units, they roll out at least 3.

 

[Johnny Utah]

McNabb was awful on Saturday night. I was there. He was really bad.

 

[Scottkmlps]

McNabb was awful on Saturday night. I was there. He was really bad.

McNabb wasn't that bad. For a player to come out of a game +2 and be called awful is laughable. He's a rookie thrown into the fire due to the Voynov situation. There will be growing pains, it's just that people haven't excepted that. Muzzin was the same way when he came into the league. Not every rookie d-man is going to come in and play lights out like Doughty.
I swear I must be watching a different #3 than a lot of people on here. He has not been awful and was not awful Saturday.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

McNabb looked over his head at times, but he's kind of supposed to be. That's the whole point of a baptism by fire. As long as he keeps the books even with nifty little plays like holding the blueline to keep the offensive play alive (which led to Toffoli's goal moments later), he's worth waiting for.

 

[kingsfan]

Doesn't Muzzin already get p.k. time? I'm sure McNabb does as well. The Kings don't roll out 2 p.k. units, they roll out at least 3.

This season Muzzin has averaged 55 seconds a game on the PK. McNabb has averaged 16 second per game.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Ice to see you.

I don't agree with Utah much as he seems to be tough on players but I have to agree McNabb was awful. Scott not sure if you were at the game but his overall positioning and his indecision with the puck was laughable. I think he just lacks confidence at this point. Muzzin went through this as well.

By watching him closely he has tight hips he can skate straight but side to side nope.
He has slow feet and takes to long to shoot. He has not impressed me at all.
