LA Kings Thread '14-'15

[Tank]

i think clifford has developed into a more well rounded player. when he first got here he was more like westgarth, where his game was simply being a tough guy. but he's become a pretty darn good forechecker along with that, and we even see him skating a few shifts towards the end of the third period. good move to keep him (and nolan, too).

Not to mention that he was part of that rush that led to Alec Martinez' SC winning goal in June

 

Good job continuing on for Dean, and now the big remaining question revolves around any potential new deal for Kopi.

And Williams

The deals for Clifford and Nolan are very tradeable salaries if they need to create cap space.

You just got Sekera. Congrats on your 3rd Cup, fellas.

Ya for 1st rounder and prospect. First rounder is conditional. Kings make the playoffs it's a 2015 if they don't it's a 2016 1st rounder

Edit- the prospect is 19yr old Ronald McKeown

On McKeown - "Andy Tonge ‏@AndyTonge1 43s44 seconds ago

McKeown is having a very down year, which was expected when Yannetti told me he basically completely lacks an identity"

Tsn said theyre also looking for a forward

Sekera will fit in nicely as a stay at home D-man.   Quick is seeing too many shots lately, and has simply been brilliant.

He is probably relishing a chance to play in the post-season, having been 4 years since he's been there (2010-11 Sabres).

Sekera will not debut tonight vs Ottawa.

He'll make his debut @ Anaheim tomorrow night

[Angel Oracle]

Next area showdown just 33 hours away!    Nice to have Sekera playing in that one

If it was physically possible for me to make babies with Jonathan Quick, I would.

[Angel Oracle]

Who is this rookie Hammond in goal for the Sens? Five straight shutout periods in SoCal?

[nando714]

Ya Hammond was on fire last night. Kings finally got a bad break on the early whistle on williams goal.

I still like the way we played.

Bummer the streak is over

sekera makes his debut against the duckies tonight.

 

time to start a new winning streak. GKG!!!!

[nando714]

Gonna be a tough one @ winnepeg today

[Tank]

wow, they look like absolute crap yesterday. disorganized, sloppy in their own end, turnovers all over the place, passes to the wrong side of the stick - just a complete crapfest yesterday.

 

i don't know who those guys were that recently won 8 in a row, but i wish they'd come back.

[nando714]

Calgary losing Giordano helps.

Kings did look like crap. So inconsistent. Schedule doesn't get any easier either.

[Punk]

This team can be really frustrating to watch sometimes.

 

They need to pick up these 2 points against the Oilers tonight. 

[bucbrett]

Don't worry boys, the Copper and Blue Clownshow is here to help you get back on track!

[disarcina]

Kings up 5 to 1 in the third..........need this one to turn around this 3 game losing streak.

[Tank]

good win. get to play edmonton two more times before the season ends. those are points we'll likely need.

 

now home for montreal and the red hot corey price.

[Angel Oracle]

I still despise the Habs, going on 22 years later!

[nando714]

2 points! When's the parade! ?!?

[bucbrett]

Not so fast, better hold off on that parade celebrating two points. I believe Bettman has made an executive order declaring regulation wins against the Oilers worth 1.5 points. OT wins are worth 1.25. A loss results in relegation to the ECHL.

[disarcina]

Kings need to go on another six/ seven game winning streak to secure a playoff spot and a decent seed for the playoffs.

 

Yes, wins vs. Edmonton are still wins, but we need to show more than this. 

[disarcina]

"I still despise the Habs, going on 22 years later!"

 

Hasn't the TWO CUPS dispelled the McSorely stick curse?

[nando714]

Need to protect home ice these next 2 games.

Still in reach of Vancouver but at this point I'm happy with them just getting in regardless.
