Agreed, he's so much fun to watch

The team depth has been incredible and the fact that they've continued to win is great but it's a different team with him on the ice

It's the coaching too dude. As I said in the previous page, Sully is THE most underrated coach in the League.










And without cheating.

He definitely is an incredible coach, after last year's suckfest in the playoffs, he has had every player bought in and playing the right way since training camp, it's really been enjoyable to watch.

Captain Crosby didn't miss a beat last night, great game to be at and fun atmosphere. Sid scored 1 goal and 3 assists, so nice to have him back

Compares their arena to Florida

I liked Bots when he was here, but not sure he was cut out to be a GM

Hoping Zuck will be a good fit up top. Galchensuck was a total bust and disappointment, so I'm glad we were able to dump his salary

Very scary, instantly reminded me of Rich Peverley. They're saying it was a cardiac event. I've watched Jay play for 18 years, always respected him as a player. Also scary that he's 2 years younger than me

Yeah and you just don't ever want to see that happening...

Last I read is that he's alert. So, good on the medics getting to him quickly.

Geebus...a defibrillator was used on Big Jay: https://www.tsn.ca/armstrong-paramed...ster-1.1441887



He's okay right now but I suspect his season and possibly his playing career is done. Anyways, good news.

Kassian goes ballistic when Matt Kahchuck hits him a bit dangerously and turns around and skate-stomps someone. Okay. Good stuff, Zack.

Evander Kane doing his best thug move too with that vicious elbow to Pionk. I guess the NHL players have lost their common sense lately. Dafuq.

Should have been more, if that kick was a little higher he could have got throat and not chest

@ Leaves...all that talent on a team with no team D. OH WHUT...so sollee, it's the namebrand goalie's fault. Oh mebbe Andersen isn't a name-brand goalie. So, let's look at the...Kings...who have a "NAMEBRAND" goalie...


WTF...Why does Quick suddenly suck?!?!?? But but but...it's all about goalers and how no-name goalers am the suck!!




Is it possible that team D equates to good goalies??!??

Say it before and will say it again, goalies are kinda like QBs...if you have the right system and team play in front, the goalie is going to look good. EVERY SO OFTEN, a generational talent will hit the net but even then, after awhile, they will become basketcases if they are asked to bail the team out every night (see Edmonton). Once the team D improves, the goalie magically gets better? Of course...it's a direct correlation but, hey...I don't know hockey.

Only Deano knows hockey and Kings are NOT in cap hell and NOT sucking because of anything. Deano!
