Puck Rogue

@DZoneLiability @Kopitar4HOF Nobody has a third line that scores. The Kings’ scoring problems are based on style (suffocating defense for both opponents and themselves) and a moribund power play. Change the style and coach the PP out of a wet paper bag and they have plenty of scoring. 53/21/49 is solid.

@P4Rogue @Kopitar4HOF He'd be a "great" 3C if it was still a Top 6/Bottom 6 league. Wright/Laughton/Armia is an elite 4th line on a Cup contender. As a 3rd line, it's fine not great and you're not addressing the scoring problem.

I rather the Kings give Kenny Connors a look at 3C instead of overpaying for a C on the FA market that is razor thin. #GoKingsGo

@DZoneLiability @Kopitar4HOF 🤮

@Kopitar4HOF This is true. My darkhorse is Hertl. Hasn't had a great season or playoffs this year. If they lose this series, I think Vegas would move him for a smaller return if they didn't have to retain much. Just drop him straight into Kopi's spot w Bread and Juice. Career revival.

@DZoneLiability @Kopitar4HOF Laughton is a great 3C He’s not a 4C

@Kopitar4HOF They need to find a 1 or 2C regardless of who the 3 is. Truth is, Laughton is a great 4, but the Kings think he's a 3. If they re-sign him, he's blocking guys who have more upside & could allow the team to have 3 scoring lines like... a modern team. Ken thinks 1 year at a time.

@Bugsy1126 @NHLRumourReport VGN? LOL

@NHLRumourReport They own his rights, simple as that! Can't force them to do anything. Just like Parayko used his NMC at the trade deadline, VGN are using their contract to fullest. If Cassidy is pissed that he has to make $4.5M to do nothing for a year, then he has bigger issues to deal with.

Elliotte Friedman: Re Bruce Cassidy/Golden Knights: As it stands right now, Vegas has the right to [deny teams permission to speak]; it doesn't look like the NHL sees that there's much they can or want to do about the situation - Oilers Now (5/19)

@Yfz84 Wait…this isn’t satire?

This is not a flop btw. SGA already explained that he just exaggerates some falls to control how he lands because his center of gravity is so high. It’s literally something he does to avoid injuries.

@dstaples You mean Carter Hart the rapist?

I'll repeat this again because the misinformation about Carter Hart around this trial is both appalling and slanderous. Lots to hate about the Vegas franchise. But giving a second chance to Carter Hart isn't one of them. The judge in the case didn't just find no guilt, she exonerated the accused, finding as a matter of fact there was no sexual assault, that the sex was consensual. If you're curious to know the facts of the Hart and his Hockey Canada teammates case, here is summary of the 11 key findings of fact in judge Maria Carroccia's ruling: 1. That Carroccia found the complainant, E.M., to be both unreliable and not credible in her testimony about the events of the night in question, June. 18, 2018 in London, Ontario. More than that, Carroccia found that E.M. had given her consent to the sex acts with the men that night. The Hockey Canada Five were always presumed innocent until found guilty under our system, but Carroccia’s finding does more than find them not guilty. It essentially exonerates them, though we will all likely agree that they acted in poor and immature fashion that night and needed to do more to treat E.M. with care. 2. The judge also found that the notion “believe all women” is a political slogan, but goes against fundamental Canadian values that work to ensure that no innocent person is found guilty without a fair trial. 3. That key video evidence from Jack’s Bar where E.M. met Michael McLeod and other Hockey Canada players that night forcefully and completely contradicts what E.M. said about the players initiating overt sexual contact on the dance flooor, and that E.M., in fact, put her hand on McLeod’s crotch area on the dance floor. 4. That key video evidence from the bar that night forcefully and completely contradicts what E.M. claimed about getting plied with drinks from the players. In fact, E.M. bought almost all of her own drinks. 5. That key video evidence contradicts what E.M. claimed about the players trying to separate her from her friends. 6. That key video evidence and E.M’s own testimony contradicts her claim that she was completely out of it that night due to alcohol consumption. 7. That E.M. had reasons to fabricate a false narrative based on numerous factors, including making things right with her own boyfriend. 8. There was repeated and consistent testimony, including from Crown witnesses Tyler Steenbergen and Brett Howden, that E.M. pushed for the players to engage with sex acts with her, and in the end Carroccia accepted this evidence as fact. 9. That there was numerous evidence of E.M.’s testimony been unreliable. 10. That E.M. had several opportunities to get dressed and to leave if she was fearful, but she left the bathroom where her clothes were and walked naked into the room full of players to continue on with their evening. This dynamic started after she had admittedly had consensual sex with McLeod. 11. That the players group chat the following day was not an effort to fabricate a story, but a group decision to simply tell the truth about what had happened with E.M

@Matt_Stuart @TT11986 Where he falls down after every shot like a fucking bitch?

@TT11986 This kind of shit happens to Shai every game you pansy

refs need to have film sessions too and watch these stuff to keep an eye on hoe players who play maliciously dirty

@TT11986 No. The league should review these and just suspend the shit out of these f@990%5

@KillaKreww What an unfunny cunt

Chelsea Handler goes OFF on Tony Hinchcliffe & Shane Gillis for making “racist” jokes at the Kevin Hart Roast and claims White people should NOT be joking about Black people in that kind of way since its equivalent to joking about r-pe 😳 “I knew enough about Tony & Shane… They’re racists, they’re bigots, they’re sexist… I don’t find those jokes funny. L-nching Black people is not a joke. It’s worse than r-pe… Them making fun of Sherryl Underwood’s dead husband who comitted s—cide is gross… I wasn’t fine with that. There was so much disgustingness, I knew it was gonna be a gross vibe.”

@JamesLambLA You’re a child and an idiot. You are beneath me. Same your mom. MUTE

@P4Rogue @Enrique81332441 @DennisTFP Sad when you can’t defend a player whose career high is 24 goals as a second round pick after SIX years in the league 🤣. I guess your bar is lower than mine…… like your IQ. 🙌

Kings and pending UFA Scott Laughton talking this week on a contract extension. Of note, Laughton was solid in DJ Smith's system after landing in LA at the trade deadline, Kings decision on coach may be impactful.

@elonmusk I don’t care.

This poor boy was running away from someone who stabbed him & stole his phone, but the police in the UK attacked him instead of his murderer!

@JamesLambLA @Enrique81332441 @DennisTFP He’s way better than average. This is documented. This is a fact. Your opinions are fake and gay.

@P4Rogue @Enrique81332441 @DennisTFP I think he fine drafting average players putting aside Kempe, Valardi and Faber. Now do ALL the players they could have picked before all those players in 20yrs. I bet you could just look at draft picks over the last 10yrs and have a bigger games played number.

@Kgill39 @Pattress2021 No they fucking won’t

@Pattress2021 Believe it or not, yes they will

Frank Seravalli says Sebastian Cossa is out in Detroit. The asking price for him is a 2nd round pick or a roster player that can help them now. Darnell Nurse fits the mold doesn't he?

@Kgill39 Wait…people think Nurse has value?

@Enrique81332441 @JamesLambLA @DennisTFP Los Angeles Kings draft picks from 2007 through 2024 have combined to play 15,894 NHL regular-season games as of the end of the 2023–24 season.

@Enrique81332441 @JamesLambLA @DennisTFP Minnesota Wild draft picks from 2007 through 2024 have combined to play 9,321 NHL regular-season games as of the end of the 2023–24 season

@JamesLambLA @DennisTFP Yanetti is waaaay better than average and the Kings would be fucked if they fired him. So, I’m sure they will…

@DennisTFP I know Yannetti is Mayor’s boy but I would love to see an article on what exactly he has gotten right? Does not drafting any difference makers but drafting 20 plus players that play 4-20 NHL games make you efficient at scouting???

@VGK_Fan4Life Nobody wants an owner who doesn’t win. Thats going to be both of them, very soon.

@P4Rogue Pretty sure you missed the point bud. I’m saying Jerry Jones is a shitty owner who only cares about the bank account. If he prioritized winning over everything else, the dollars come on their own.

VGK haters, You’d give your right arm to have an owner like Bill Foley. An owner who prioritizes filling rafters w/ banners over all else. Look at Jerry Jones…Dallas hasn’t won in 30 years but his wallet & stadium stays full. Foley knows win & the rest takes care of itself.

@kevin92285_1 @NHLJackManning Jack is determined to believe that everyone doesn’t know everything about everyone… Meet and talk to a player or two, Jack…

@NHLJackManning Guess what, half your players came from another team. So that info is out there, silly.

There aren't many people with a better understanding of the Knights-- both strengths and weaknesses-- than Bruce Cassidy. He knows every injury, every player flaw. The team has every right in the universe to block him from using that knowledge against them. Them's the breaks.
