[lak4ever]

Almost Kopitar

[cheap77]

How the **** does that not go in? This team can't catch a break when it comes to scoring.

Pretty good for what he is. Goaltenders historically have poor value overall regardless, but he is a very good bargaining chip to teams like New Jersey and Tampa bay.

The videogame Skyrim. A lot of people in that game say that line.

When Bernier plays once every two to three weeks, he's going to look shaky.

Exactly, play him like a starter and he'll look like one.

[kingsfan28]

Kopitar used to score that goal,until he took an arrow to the knee

[cheap77]

Oh.... so that's why Kompon sucks at his job. He thinks the is an assistant coach for the Lakers.

I think he might've thought he'd be a started in the NHL by now, and probably underestimated quick and it's hurting his confidence. When he was drafted I was sold on the hype that he was gonna be the goalie of the franchise but Quick has clearly taken that away from him and I doubt many would disagree (on Quick taking the #1 pretty easily). Just my opinion though.

[kingsfan28]

Bob Miller going to get tired of saying "Blocked" by the end of the 1st

[Telos]

This team needs to learn what a one-timer is.

[lak4ever]

aaah!

Bingo!

You put the best goalie in net twice a month, they too will look shaky.

It's all about confidence with goalies.

[bobafettish*]

stop settle the puck then shoot.

[kingsfan28]

Why is it that our Russians cant score?

[DocWest]

They should just start shooting from behind JB, it'll be just as effective as where they're shooting from now.

So how many goals does Kopitar have in the last 20 games?

They know what it is, they just suck at it.

Actually, one guy that can one time it is Voynov.

[Sydor25]

Kings just won't one time it. They always slow it down and get it blocked.

I'm guessing he faces shooters and situations in practice, and there have been plenty of back-ups who don't play often who will come in and win games for their teams confidently. I'm not trying to crap on bernier, but I'd like to see him more confident and playing to his abilities from teh get-go. If he is going to be a main piece in a trade for something we need I'd love to see him do everything he could to help his trade value.
