WCSF Gm#1: KINGS vs. Sharks - 5/14/13 - One Down, Three To Go!!! GO KINGS GO!

[Captain Mittens*]

Is it just me or does it seem like the main board hate Brown more than Torres?

Depends on the team.

Chicago doesn't

Is it just me or does it seem like the main board hate Brown more than Torres?

Every Kings-related thread is now 10+ pages of most Kings fans taking a defender/moderate stance, most Canucks/Wild/Phoenix/Ducks/Stars fans taking the complete aggressor/karma stance, many East-coast fans interjecting nonsense since they didn't actually watch the game but are inferring from box scores/groupthink, and the rest mostly providing the truthful, neutral material

Keep in mind no one is on our bandwagon anymore. We're the defending champs, not the lovable underdog, and we have villains in Brown and Stoll.

The main boards exist as an attempt to congregate the trolls in a centralized location.

Sadly if I had to choose, people hate brown the most. I couldn't get a simple value of brown on the trade boards of him. A mod had to close it because people were being immature.

 

[TonySCV]

Not so random thought that I agree with from a couple of friends who went to the game...

The Vancouver Canucks must have really been awful this year.

The Mayor John Hoven ‏@mayorNHL 4m
Update - just heard from very well connected source to league office, he says 'Torres factor' will play heavy here. Expects long suspension.

 

[DocWest]

If that was Stoll who hit a Shark, the main boards would be calling for his head. What a joke. Especially since so many are defending Torres of all people, one of the dirtiest players in the league.

 

[KINGS17]

It appears that there will be an in-person hearing for Torres.

I think we may have seen the last of Raffi in this series.

 

[Ron*]

Given his history, I'm expecting more. I wouldn't be surprised if he was gone for 3-6 games.

Yes, I agree, now having heard that the league has requested an "in-person" hearing.

One insider has tweeted it traditionally means 5 games, but this gives the league the option for more.

 

[Ron*]

Additionally, has anyone heard anything on Stoll's condition?

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Additionally, has anyone heard anything on Stoll's condition?

Much like Greene, Mitchell, and Clifford, I don't expect we will hear much of anything

 

[theMajor]

What a joke. Especially since so many are defending Torres of all people, one of the dirtiest players in the league.

i went into this series trying to be neutral about SJ fans, but their reaction to this hit and the defending of Torres put them right back in the *******. what a joke indeed my friend

I missed this last night:

Slava Voynov led all skaters with 23:54 TOI.

Go on, Slava! http://lakingsinsider.com/2013/05/15/may-14-postgame-notes/

Also, what a laser. Just to relive the moment from last night:

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Much like Greene, Mitchell, and Clifford, I don't expect we will hear much of anything

Well maybe someone can tell us if he's out on the ice for the 11am practice?

 

[LAKings88]

I honestly think the hit is on par with Brown's. I'd be happy with a two game suspension. I believe in guys trying to change but given Raffi's history it would not be surprising to see him gone for more.

Would take Stoll back over the Sharks losing Torres anyday.

 

[CowMix]

If Stoll does in fact have a concussion, and not his first, will we even see him next season?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Well maybe someone can tell us if he's out on the ice for the 11am practice?

Apparently no one has taken the ice yet

 

[DAkings20]

Considering they take injuries into account and they called for an in person hearing for Torres, Stoll is probably gonna be out for a while.

Not all of them, but yeah some are uneducated. That goes with the territory though. Funny thing is in a close series you don't usually see this from teams that are that close. Teams that tend to injure players do so so they can level the skill level.

Phoenix would not have gotten past Chicago without Torres taking out Hossa. Just a repeat of his history.

 

[Omni Owl]

Not a good tradeoff, Stoll for Torres. I'm praying Lewis or Richardson can fill in on the 3rd. Maybe Richards will move down?

 

[Captain Mittens*]

If Stoll does in fact have a concussion, and not his first, will we even see him next season?

Depends on the severity.


It's assumably been years since he had one

Does that really matter? Do some people completely heal from it? All I'm glad about it isn't a double impact because the last one was years ago

the more often one surfers concussions, the worse the severity
