The Kings Power Play: Who Plays Where?

-Where the hell am I going? -I have no idea! (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

Dustin Penner
Simon Gagne
Drew Doughty 
Anze Kopitar     
Jack Johnson

 

Scott Parse Dustin Brown
Justin Williams Alec Martinez
Mike Richards

 

I've seriously been thinking about this for like 2 hours and this seems like the best tack to take. Gagne is best down in that corner, where he can either throw it up top or curl in for a shot. Johnson can play point and drive me crazy use the space up along the blue line to set up Doughty and Kopitar for shots. Penner can block the net or pop out for one-timers.

The 2nd unit is a mirror of the 1st, with Justin Williams along the half-wall (like he was right before he got hurt last season). Richards is up top and quarterbacking everything. Martinez is taking one-timers. Dustin Brown is in front of the net since the Kings lost the 3 guys who played in front of the net last year (Ryan Smyth, Michal Handzus and Alexei Ponikarovsky). I'm thinking Brown and Penner should switch but I'll leave them there for now. Parse is there too because why not?

Oh, and no Jarret Stoll.

That's what I got so far.

 

 

Chipotle owns.

You need a right-handed shot over there for one-timers. We only have Stoll and Doughty. Indeed, go Voynov.

Well they never put out a Johnson-Doughty-Kopitar formation. It was always either Doughty-Johnson-Kopitar or Stoll-Doughty-Kopitar.

I’m just scared of Johnson as last man back (it’s sad I’m more comfortable with Richards and Stoll there). Maybe Kopi on the wall and Gagne-Doughty-Johnson in the umbrella? Doughty needs to work on getting his shot of quicker in the offseason.

One of my favorite moments from last year was when Johnson got the puck along the right boards and had Doughty right open in the middle for a shot or scoring opportunity. Johnson proceeded to walk the blue line all the way to where Doughty was standing while Doughty first backed up to keep his spacing and then finally said, “Fuck it,” and just skated to where Johnson had just been. Johnson then passed him the puck.

Is Terry Murray a guy who likes using forwards on the point like Richards up there? Just curious.

Also, a random question: who has a better shot, Kopitar or Gagne?

www.battleofcali.com

by Earl Sleek on Jul 8, 2011 7:06 AM PDT up reply actions  

He’s let Stoll play the point in the past. Mike Richards played point under John Stevens in Philadelphia so I would assume they’d let him play the same position in LA. He played Kopitar’s role later on in his stay there.

They both have pretty good shots. I couldn’t say with any conviction whose is better. Kopitar probably has a harder shot that could beat a goalie straight-up but Gagne is better at disguising his shot.

I used to work at NASA here in the Bay Area. They had a big ceremony when they started sending up shuttles again after Columbia. Everyone was super excited when administration announced the launch to Mars the moon and people were drafting up new projects and whatnot. Then the hammer came down in late ’09 and people just sorta resigned themselves.

There’s a ton of red tape at NASA (we had to sign out to get post-its, pens, and other office supplies so that they were charged to our department), so while it’s sad that it’s ending, the place needs to desperately clean house in organization first before it can move to the bigger, PR-rich projects.

Coming back from a commercial, we hear about Antti Niemi. Between periods, we hear about Antti Niemi. fter a routine save, we hear about Antti Niemi.

(I’ve always wanted a dog named “Hans” so I could say, “Let’s go shake their Hans,” and then pick the dog up and shake him around. I’m weird.)

i read somewhere, on some other blog, people saying “someone must be telling him to do that.”

the kings power play is static and predictable. murray keeps saying well the numbers were good the year before like it’s the law of averages and not the fact that everyone on the planet has figured them out. I have a better power play on my table hockey with the metal rods that move the players up and down in slots.

Wait till this year.

For those in San Jose...

If you want REAL burritos, ditch Chipotle…

Go down to La Victoria or Iguanas if you want a REAL burrito…

^Not sure if you guys down south have a place like this… but that’s how we do it in San Jose, baby.

Holy shit La Vic is the bomb. Brodie Brazil tweeted about it and so I decided to try it. When I got there I saw they sold their orange sauce separately, so I knew it had to be good. All you guys from the L.A. teams gotta make the trip up sometime and hit that shit up.

Iguanas kinda sucks, though.

I think it’s called La Costena. In Mountain View at corner of Rengstorff and Old Middlefield you gotta go there it’s glorious.

by meetyourmako on Jul 8, 2011 1:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

You have to get to La Costena early in the day or right after they’ve brought out a new batch of meat. Otherwise, you can get stale meat, and that’s even after they put it on the grill right in front of you. Otherwise, it’s a pretty good place. Eating in the back under the shade at the picnic table(s) by the chicken coop really adds to the ambiance.

by RedOscar on Jul 8, 2011 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

I dont think Iguanas sucks..

It’s a quality over quantity thing with Iguanas- La Vic’s

Iguanas? You get pretty good food, but you get more of it.

La Vic’s? Not as big (still big) but holy dear lord… it’s fantastic.

Last time I was in San Jose, I didn’t have time to eat there, but I seriously considered stopping by on my way to the airport so that I could bring a couple of burritos home in my luggage.

I think Richards and Williams should be on the first unit and Johnson and Penner on the second.

I also think they should all go to hell so, take my opinion for what it’s worth. =)

by ScottyKnows on Jul 8, 2011 2:39 PM PDT reply actions  

The problem with Richards on the 1st unit is that there’s not center to take the draw on the 2nd unit unless you have Stoll out there. And I don’t want that.

I got Chipotle’s around here but i’ve never been there before. I hear its just shitty mexican fast food. There are way too many good Taquerias around here to go to some shitty Mexican food chain restaurant.

Is it at least better than Taco Bell?

by Khaaz on Jul 8, 2011 4:57 PM PDT reply actions  

It’s owned by McDonald’s.

Is it at least better than Taco Bell?

That’s a tough call. It’s not as cheap as Taco Bell, but they put this weird lime/cilantro flavored white rice in all of their burritos and they don’t have any other kind despite the fact that they are a build-your-own-burrito kind of place. No Spanish rice whatsoever. If you want guacamole it’s gonna cost you like $1.25 or something.
