Stoll mentioned Thomas on the penalty kill. I was getting killed on the forum for saying he could contribute...hmmm.

Also, the taco place he couldn't remember was El Tarasco - on Rosecrans. When I lived in MB that was the spot and after one Kings game a few Coyotes came in and I ended up hanging out with Brad May - great guy. Claude Lemieux, Mike Keane and I think Sean Burke were there also.

LOL. Let's also not forget about Harry O's. Back in the day I recognized Brad Norton of the Kings and he invited me and my ex and her friends (college girls) to stay after the bar closed. After hours with the Kings

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Johnny Utah has claimed to bump into God. “I actually said pass me the salt not turn them into salt”.

In this case, God would be Marty McSorley.

Great piece, that was an enjoyable listen this morning.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Well, already m

McSorley or Kip Brennan.

You were getting killed because you suggested that he play on the 2nd line with what could end up being the Kings two best offensive players.

…among other things.

The alternative is almost 40 year old Lewis or inconsistent one dimensional Kayilev who TM doesn’t like?

I do not understand Stoll opinion that skating and power of shooting basically cannot be improved with training. Maybe he does not know how to do it and it is very discouraging to me…

He didn’t say they can’t be improved. He said that by the time these guys are in their early 20’s, you’re not going to see any great leaps of progress. You can tweak things and work on your shot but at that age there aren’t 15mph increases or any major breakthroughs to be had.

Which I find odd since that's what happened with Kempe's shooting.

I feel like Kempe always had a lotta mustard on his shots, but his release and shot placement took leaps and bounds, it was awesome to see.

McSorley or Kip Brennan.

I miss the glory days of Matt Johnson

Jim Fox was adamant for years that skating couldn't be substantially improved after the age of 18.

He only recently reversed his position based on the improvement he saw in Arthur Kaliyev after his work on it with the teams development staff.

I meant to follow up on that answer with that story about Jim but it slipped my mind. I don't think the organization as a whole has a defeatist attitude about skating ability and they clearly make it a focal point for various members. For example... Toffoli, Moverare, Vilardi, Kaliyev, Clarke etc

EDIT: It doesn't get talked about a lot but the Kings have a robust support staff beyond Glen Murry, Jarret Stoll, Sean O'Donnell and Matt Greene.
