Post-Game Talk: Kings

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

The scoring chance is on bread but the goal is on shesterkin. That should never ever beat him no way. Nonsense.

He's been getting beat blocker side from RH shooters on their off side with frequency lately. Vally actually highlighted it in the pregame, specifically shots from RH shooters in that glove side circle. He got beat in Edmonton, Vancouver and a bunch of other games recently with that exact shot. Kempe beat him in the first period with it on the PK but he hit the post. Vally was pointing out Igor's stance and feet being off and causing him to be slightly off his angle and exposing that side. He's been getting beat a lot there lately so I would bet other teams have noticed it and are picking that spot.

A Crapitals fan is whining on the Kings board that MIka 'faked' being injured during the 5 minute Kings pp. To what end? Is the NHL going to penalize Doughty for shooting the puck? Are they going to suddenly choose to stop play during an injury before the team with the injured player gains possession? What a ****ing moron.

That dopey fan is delusional because the 5 minute power play was at the end of the 1st period, & Mika took that slap shot at the end of the 2nd period.

3 game suspension coming for K’Andre as per Andy Strickland. No bueno

Actually, that might be my bad - concerning the 'when' of it. My point still stands though.

That’s BS

I get wanting to make an example but he’s got not history. Give him a game and move on

Hathaway was suspended 3 games in a similar situation

 

[NYROrtsFan]

Yeah.. Hathaway was suspended the same so they have to keep it consistent. No surprise and just stupid from Miller.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

So um…why didnt Schneider play? Why dress someone that is injured?

HOT TAKES​

​

Trouba - Faced some kind of adversity earlier in the year but has been playing like a captain since Helmutgate.​

4D - Well done indeed !​

KAM - Not so much.​

Vinny - Seems to thrive on these kind of games, could be great in the playoffs.​

PP1 - Were freaking amazing on the PP where Zib scored.​

ZIB - Holy Freaking is all I got !​

Unpopular take I'm sure - Coach needs some props on this one. Mr. No Panic does it again.​

 

[Draft Guru]

Tbh with the way Miller has played since the All-Star break, 3 games in the press box could be exactly what he needs. Plus we have 28 minute stalwart Ben Harpur so all is gucci.

Time for reflection

 

[Kovalev27]

When did I say Igor shouldn't have stopped it?Lets read here a little before responding.

Your exact words written that I read a little before responding were “that goal is on bread” were they not?

As I said the scoring chance was on bread the goal is on shesterkin

 

[Draft Guru]

So um…why didnt Schneider play? Why dress someone that is injured?

He wasn't injured. They had to dress 18 skaters. He got sent to Hartford post game for cap purposes, to be recalled Wednesday. If he played tonight and got hurt, he would be ineligible to be sent down and thus throwing a wrench into the Kane deal.

 

[McRanger92]

Time for reflection

The punishment fits the crime imo. Idk how it will effect the roster and Kane pursuit in the meantime

 

[hackeyman]

So um…why didnt Schneider play? Why dress someone that is injured?

Not injured.......It has to do with having to send him down to AHL for a couple of games to make cap space for Kane trade and can't risk him getting injured.

 

[Profet]

So um…why didnt Schneider play? Why dress someone that is injured?

He'a not injured. They don't want him to get injured because they absolutely need him to be sent down to the AHL (paper transactions only) after the game. They need to bank his cap for Kane trade to work.

Same with Carpenter.

So they dressed because there was no reason not to dress them.

They didn't play them because the fear or injury outweighed their need to win this game.

Ahh thank you! Haven't been around most of the day and wasnt sure of the reasoning.

 

[Crease]

Twitter is a mess. Everything thinks Schneider is part of the Kane trade now.

 

[Raspewtin]

Ahh thank you! Haven't been around most of the day and wasnt sure of the reasoning.

also to add - they couldn't just scratch him since the CBA mandates that if you have the cap space you have to ice an 18 skater lineup. so him and Carpenter sat there the whole game so they wouldn't get hurt.

This is the new meme on HF...


At least according to Kane's agent

The stance thing is very real. How I played I was never more than 2 and a half feet wide myself. If he went from 3 and a half to over 5 feet wide in stance that’s a major change and will absolutely expose the top of the net. Not sure why on earth he’s doing that. He’s too small to play like that he needs to be upright like he is on shootouts.

I don't disagree with this, but in comparison, Tom Wilson almost killed Artemi Panarin two years ago and got absolutely nothing. What a farce.

Win a Vezina... decide to change your style to mimic 6'5 goalies.

The person I was replying said it was on Trouba,I said it was on bread for the bad pinch.At no time did either of us bring up the actual shot,just the bad sequence that led to the 2 on 1 and goal.it was a bad goal given up by Igor,no one said different.

To be honest my first thought was.....maybe Drury really is an idiot.......and then I thought no there has to be more to it.
