I'll work to improve these GDT's as the series continue. I just want to get this up now.

Torres is supposed to be in, this should be interesting. Kings players need to keep their head up and I sure hope they have a short memory from the cheap shot he took on Stoll last year.

I'm sure Sharks fans will be remembering what happened to Hertl too by Brown earlier in the season, although I truly believe that was an accident more than anything (you guys know I don't like his theatrics and call it like it is) and this should be a good physical series.

If he goes out headhunting I hope Nolan absolutely destroys him.

Hope they can win one of the two in NoCal

 

[Kings4OT]

First time Torres does anything "Torres like" I send Nolan after him. Set a tone early that his shit isn't going un noticed

Time for some Shark Dinner, we gotta get 1 on the road.

Aaahhh. Freaking pumped and nervous for this series.

This is the peak of Kings hockey so I love every minute of this, but there is such a different aspect that comes with expectation.

Muzzin on the first D pairing scares me to death still. Would love a little Doughty-Mitchell pairing against Thornton-Burns-whoever. Roll Voynov and Regeher as the #2 still. Martinez would be stuck with Muzzin, but they would be playing 3rd and 4th line guys. I would even roll Martinez with Doughty. Maybe not big enough. Is Green a healthy scratch? He would actually make a difference in this series (like last year). I could see sitting him against Chicago or Colorado or a faster team, but big teams like St. Louis and San Jose, he could be an impact player.

Let's go Kings! If LA can survive the first period, they should be okay. Sharks love to pour it on early.

I agree about Greene, he can move big bodies. Dude can be a beast at times

 

[Psych3man]

Re:Greene--yeah, but certainly a step slower, and takes more stupid penalties every year
