J.Staal pushed him around all night the other day. He was a complete non factor.

Good thing he and Kopitar cost $21 million dollars, or about as much as six Ryan Dzingels.

- BINGO!



Thank goodness Faulk rejected us... He's been decent quite possibly less than that with Blues ... While Kase shows every game he exactly the kind of player that we need more of.

Watching him tonight skate circles around the Candy Canes will be a pleasure.

I think Glendening and Dekeyser at the deadline fit the bill instead.

He was -34 last year with 45 points and is 29 years old making $11 million
by comparison Rielly is 25 years makes $5 million was +24, scored 72 points

Rielly was only 5th in norris trophy voting. How many d-men were better than Doughty, that weren't in the fop five?

Are you saying he's a top d-man now at $11 million with 8 years left at age 29? He earned the money on this contract by being the best player on LA for 2 cups. He's not that player any more

Should be a simple solution; play Matthews more.

Babcock keeps it at 19/19 between Matthews and Tavares to keep things fair and fresh between the two but if one of them is hurt, the other should play 22/23.

Everybody wins.

- JohnFergusonJr


Now or never. Time to see what he is capable of with more ice time. Absolutely. I would also throw him out with Mitch here and there if hey need some offence like he did the other night.

Looks like the LA Kings suck again and doesn't look like that's going to change any time soon either.

Keep that line open Dubas because Doughty's patience is going to wear thin with playing on a poop team.

What a glorious addition Drew Doughty would be.

Would totally change the team for the better.

Drew Doughty is not very good, dude.

And he costs even more than Marner does.

- BINGO!


He will be on the next team Canada.

Maybe LA could eat a bit of salary. It's a stretch but...

I wonder if players realize just how bad the salary cap is screwing them over. Only in hockey do guys like Doughty, who win cups, win gold medals, end up marooned on a garbage team while they're still in their prime.

I actually like the lines, by the way.

Take an effective 3rd line, make it better with Marner, and play them more. Take your 1B line and make it a 1A line with ice-time alone.

Will be a good test for Matthews against Bergeron's line though.

Yea but you can say that about any superstar... the question isn't whether he's good, it's whether he's a good fit. Part of being a good fit is contract ($ and term) and age. Doughty is still a gud pl'r now, but may not be that good in a year or two, and that wouldn't justify his contract... not to mention we'd need to make some serious space for him...

Manson is the answer... Josh motha(frank)in manson!!!
