I hope TM keeps Ersberg in net. Ersberg probably saved him from being fired.
I also hope that TM changes some of the line combinations.
Kyle Calder on the line with Kopi & Brown just looks stupid. You got two heros and a zero. And I mean a complete zero. TM said that POS wasn't quite ready to play on the top line (missing training camp - ya know). Its been 5 games now. Do we still have to put up with Calder missing opportunities to score. He's worse than Army.
How do we know when the whole team will be practicing? I went last Saturday & only Army, Richardson & Barbs were there. I woulnd't think they'd have a full practice today after a road game but it looks like they are. What about tomorrow? How can i figure out if it will be worth it to drive down to the Toyota Sports Center to watch?
BRS - That's pretty amusing that you went down and only Labs, Army and Richardson were there practicing. At least they're dedicated. I'll practice with them if nobody else will.
Anthony - Show Calder some respect. He's a talented player and is putting forth the effort he needs to. He looks a million times better than in game 1 of the season, or all last year.
That said, O'Sullivan is getting lost down the rabbit hole. The first 4 games of the season he looked determined and ready for a breakout year, and now he's toiling in mediocrity and settling for it. He doesn't seem to be playing with an edge. The team is winning, but there are lots of bad habits settling in despite the winning streak.
Hey Rich, would it kill you to just DELETE Anthony's posts once in awhile. I mean, you gotta be fair, if your going to allow him to post his garbage every day, you certainly have to allow us to tell him what an idiot he his. Anyone find it odd that Anthony is always usually the first one to post after an update? The guy must be pretty busy.
Anthony- I know Kopitar isn't playing up to his potential yet this season but there is no need to be calling him a ZERO
I almost wish Kopitar would get injured slightly and miss a game or two so people would understand that its not all about the scoresheet. Careful what we wish for because if Kopi is out the other team is going to start having 40+ shots on goal and tons more possession in the Kings end. Anze does more in one shift than all but 3 or 4 other Kings players are capable of all game. If we had better skilled defensemen the offensive numbers would be better. Right now, the only one at the back that can 'really' work in the offensive end is Doughty. Passing to Greene, Gauthier, O'Donnell and even Preissing in the offensive zone is like passing into a black hole.
What kind of perspective do the doubters need? He's 4 points behind Joe Thornton but has played 3 less games. He's only 2 points behind the redhot Selanne.
Lombardi deserves a ton of credit because the team is more competitive game to game than ever, but where would LA be without Kopi, Brown, and Frolov? 3 of the best young players in the NHL and rarely injured. Where would LA be now if O'Sullivan and JJohnson were the core?
Once in while Anthony hits the nail on the head.but most of the time he hits his thumb.But that being said, he brings his view and thats okay.I really think he`s good guy but just needs to be a little more positive.
Old Man- great can you give anthony your email? he can just email you directly and the rest of us don't have to read his complaining every post.
anthony- have a nice weekend. try and stay postive.
