You're probably right. Dallas is loaded and they seem really ready for a run. The only thing I would say is Oettinger hasn't been as hot this year, and Jamie Benn is sort of like Doughty and can lose his cool pretty easy. Seen him just go off the rails and cost his team dearly in big games with...
Kings are weak. I don't want to play Edmonton or Dallas but so much worrying about matchups means this team sucks. Lost to Edmonton in 7 games. Lost the crucial Game 6 at home or it could've been different. Then last year lost in 6 games, but were up 2-1 in series with a 3-0 lead in Game 4. Blew...
Canucks go into Edmonton and win a big one. That changes a lot of things and basically locks Canucks into #1 and Oilers into #2. Feels like other teams really just handle Edmonton so much easier. Exploit their defense and goaltending better.
Dallas looks like the #1 overall in the west. So...
Seeing some interesting stuff. Sale would be for players/roster only. Full rebrand likely when they move.
If Arizona can build a new arena in the next 5 years it will auto-trigger an expansion team/draft for them. That all makes it seem like they'd become the Coyotes again. Like the Cleveland...
Kings at the 3 and Vancouver at the 2 feels very possible. Kings also dropping to WC1 means they could just as easily play Edmonton or Vancouver anyway.
I'll take it. Kings have struggled against Calgary but came to play I felt.
Standings are all over the map. Really feels like Edmonton could catch Vancouver, especially since they play each other in a few days. Vegas has dropped a few too, so that effects things. Just would rather not play...
Couple of times. Still way too cute with plays. Happened when Moore tried to make an extra pass on the PP. Then Englund on the 2 on 1. Gotta get the shot there.
Kind of looking at the standings and the Kings really have lost a ton of games in OT/SO. 11 of those losses. If they win a few of those their record is actually looking a ton better. Works for them that the gimmicky stuff won't exist in the playoffs.
This sounds like my buddy in college. Parked in the red on campus, got parking ticket already, so said "Fuck it" and just left his car there. Already had the parking ticket. Came back from class and the parking meter chick had stacked a new parking ticket on the existing original one for every...
Kings look great. Love the rough stuff early. No idea what Kempe was arguing when he so clearly crosschecked that dude in the neck in the first period. But it got everyone engaged and I'll take it. Whole team playing to win instead of hesitating or playing passive. Except for maybe one dude...
Baseball is way worse, but the buyout stuff is definitely crazy. I follow Richards on Instagram and he just fishes and hangs with his dogs. Seems like a pretty nice life actually.
Found it. July 1st is known as "Bobby Bonilla Day" because the Mets pay Bonilla $1.19mil every July 1st from...
Lot of chatter about Phoenix being moved to Salt Lake City as early as next season. I guess the NHL drafted two versions of the schedule for next year, and one has Coyotes in Salt Lake City.
Flipped over to the Blues game and saw it was 4-0 Blues after the 1st period, so that felt over early...
Listening to The Hockey Guy on Youtube breakdown this Canucks/Vegas game. Vegas was 8-0-2 all time in Vancouver before this game. Had never lost in regulation in Vancouver.
Yikes. Pretty uninspired as you all stated. There was this period of the first 8 minutes of the second period where the Kings didn't allow a shot. But they also didn't generate much, and let the Ducks hang around.
Yeah the man defense doesn't work. Watched this whole breakdown on Edmonton, and how the 4 other guys not named McDavid basically just run moving screens the whole zone time to free up space for McDavid. Just guys getting picked off left and right, so it already wasn't a great system, but will...
