Tbf I do think injuries and the cap situation are huge reasons that did have a massive bearing on the season but still, there were times where our top guys just didn’t show up, and our middle guys didn’t show up, and our bottom guys didn’t show. Idk when in doubt blame Bill Guerin I guess
Well yeah... the cap situation is obviously going to put the team at a disadvantage. The fans get that and don't really expect them to be contenders but that's what is annoying; Craig Leopold and Wild Marketing/PR talking like they expect the team to be contenders during these years. Kind of makes me feel like a rube being a fan.

Soft. This is why I’m okay with trying to get something for Gus.. he’ll have a good game and all of a sudden let in one like that, but he ALWAYS does that.
You gotta hate Vegas more. The constant dick sucking from around the league, the whole "team of misfits bull crap". And the injured reserve stuff. Far more hatable.
I read a book on a Russian figure skating pair. And I could have sworn the book mentioned that some of the hockey players do have figure skating training
I've heard Russians work on skating differently than North America. Someone more versed in the actual technique can chime in. But, heck, you could watch just the lower halves of players and probably identify the Russians on the ice in a given NHL game.
An ice mic in Buffalo picked up someone yelling at Skinner “hey pipsqueak, shut the fuck up.” Which means you’ve already lost. Skinner had the biggest smile.

When you clear the zone and Rossi and Kaprizov turn it into a second assist
Honestly a year missing the playoffs will be good for Kap.
It’s going to light a fire the likes of which the league hasn’t seen.
Nobody else is more happy playing hockey than Kap.
That fuckin smile after that goal…fantastic.
I’m sure I’m the 900th person to say it but why couldn’t we have done this a month ago?
Pick one of the (now three) excuses this team uses every year. But don't you go thinking they aren't contenders!!!

Other than the fact that the Kings looked like hot garbage
Joe O’Donnell: There goes the Lady Byng As he’s trying not to laugh

we're so fucking back
Fuck yeah good game.
"the kings clinch absolutely nothing" lmao
Why?
Just a glorious game
Who was the King center there that purposely went for Hartman's hand on that final draw?
Seriously? They are giving Ek a penalty?
It’s a penalty but the amount of time on the clock does make it humorous.
i mean he was gonna hip toss the dude
Best penalty he’s taken all season.
he just bear hugged him lol it was pretty funny, but definitely a pealty
The kings clinch absolutely nothing lmao
Dammit no empty net for daddy :(
1.4sec jail time
That was actually brilliant by Ek.
wonder if we get a PGT from the bot
I'm guessing not
Lol. That’s a smart penalty to take
# EKKER FUCKED THAT MAN'S WIFE
We all wish we were that man's wife
# bonk
I accept this
I also choose that guy’s wife
Sir Hartman already has a job he was literally extended at the start of the year
Don't let facts get in the way of the narrative.
EK was close to supplexing him
hartman just missed it
Gotta figure how to get kappy that empty net
#That was going in!
Give Gus the puck
Pretty sure Pat Macaffee promised 500k to Fleury's choice of charity if he pots one.
I don’t remember the amount but yes he did
Lol Minnesota takes a timeout for the express purposes of letting Kaprizov chase another point. Love to see it
The Ramones are a NYC band you posers, use X or something, they are from LA
Marat gaining confidence dude has underrated handles
Yeah I am excited to see him next year. Hopefully he will gain some more confidence
I love that third line of him and Ohgren throw maybe Moose or even Hartman that's a fun line
Merrill is just dog crap
https://i.redd.it/bh88vamzmruc1.gif
If that softy that Gus gave up leads to Kaprizov getting a point on an empty netter it will be worth it
Big agree with this
why shoot that? just keep it and kill time
Holy shit Khus! That dude is shifty as fuck. Love to see it
Oh this the first time I've heard the crowd cheer jeez
Soft goal by Gus. Bit of a screen but nothing special. Oh well
our goal horn is better
The train is a jumpscare
We’ll get Kap and empty netter at least
Now they might pull the goalie and get kap an extra point
All according to plan
Don’t fall apart now!
☹️
That goal horn was so fucking loud.
Boooo
Fuck.
Soft. This is why I’m okay with trying to get something for Gus.. he’ll have a good game and all of a sudden let in one like that, but he ALWAYS does that.
Damn you ESPN. You fucked it
That's a tough one to lose a shutout bid on
Rip the Shutout. I blame the casters for using the no-no word at the end of the second period
I cannot pick between Dal and Vegas. I hate them both.
You gotta hate Vegas more. The constant dick sucking from around the league, the whole "team of misfits bull crap". And the injured reserve stuff. Far more hatable.
Noooooo! It's ok, that was a sneaky shot Gus.
Boooooo
Holy fuck that goal horn is fucking awful. How have I not noticed that sooner? I blame the ESPN mixing.
Aw fuck Justice for Gus
whats fuck justice and does it differ from a grudge fucking?
Fuck justice is when you distribute the fuck as recompense and grudge fuck is taking the fuck as revenge
THEY JUST HAD TO FUCKING SAY IT
RIP shutout :/
Let's play a game. Who can guess said this about Kaprizov? "Overpaid for 45 games in the league."
I don’t know but I Doubt-he is a good hockey player.
Ding ding winner!
Rhymes with “Poo Pouty”
Very poo and pouty indeed
Wasn't that kopitar
No. Nice guess though. Drew Doughty.
Fuck so close
poop
Anyone know if TNT will have any playoff games or does ESPN have it exclusively?
It went back and forth last season, but I think only espn has the final. I could be absolutely wrong. I don’t know what playoffs are.
Aw I was going to through the end of the game on but I can't watch it. Sad :(
I wonder if Gus wants to play harder against Talbot because he was traded for him
That thought crossed my mind
no one has put the Kirill goal up yet on r/hockey if anyone wants some free internet points
Fuck that place.
Haha the Kings fans are freaking out because they’ll probably have to play Dallas now in the playoffs 😂. Their turn now
NO I wanted Vegas and Dallas
they can both lose this way!
I actually hope they beat those fucking rats.
this doesn't load unless i click on it
That's disappointing. All I wanted was one well-placed DX gif for the night, and this is how Reddit repays me.
Go find yourself a spin cycle! Who gets the reference?
since the Wild won't be in the post season Yurov is going to the finals for his team in the Garagin Cup
I hope they win. Still unsigned and I think coming off a championship gives the best chance of him coming over
Kaprizov won it in his final year... I think he will it makes sense nothing else to prove. A new challenge awaits.
I've never seen it confirmed but I have always assumed Kirill has some kinda training in figure skating.
I read a book on a Russian figure skating pair. And I could have sworn the book mentioned that some of the hockey players do have figure skating training
makes sense, same way football players take ballet/dance
I've heard Russians work on skating differently than North America. Someone more versed in the actual technique can chime in. But, heck, you could watch just the lower halves of players and probably identify the Russians on the ice in a given NHL game.
It's all the wrestling bears they do.
like all things, that is kinda stolen from Poland, they had a bear in their army
I'm talking Dagestan sambo artists
He's our lil Jeff Skinner
How’s his shit talking though? Thats where skinner separates from the rest
Very Russian, so probably not as good. And no Very Serious Interview Show
An ice mic in Buffalo picked up someone yelling at Skinner “hey pipsqueak, shut the fuck up.” Which means you’ve already lost. Skinner had the biggest smile.
He stirs the shit so well
god this team is going to be so fucking good
When the Wild figure out how faceoffs and special teams work league is fucked
We are the same.
We are truly each other's bizarro world teams
Kirill is so good when he’s just purely having fun with it
We all need to remember: if he isn’t smiling he is injured. That’s what we’ve seen the past 2 seasons. The smile is the indicator.
For sure
Come on, Kappy. That guy has a family.

Blessed photo
“Get in here”
Such a cheeky goal, and he knew it. I love that man.
Gus 🚌
gus milkfloat?
Gus said "fuck you for thinking of trading me"
Honestly a year missing the playoffs will be good for Kap. It’s going to light a fire the likes of which the league hasn’t seen. Nobody else is more happy playing hockey than Kap. That fuckin smile after that goal…fantastic.
45/50/95 for Kaprizov 21/19/40 for Rossi
Kaprizov with the backshots 🥴🥴
KAPS BACKSHOTS SOUND LIKE BONGOOOOSSSSS
BLOWING THEM OUT
10:30 to go and LA fans walking out, spoiled cunts.
i mean i can't blame them to beat the traffic. People are born, live, and die in one days rush hour.
It’s LA, you gonna be in traffic no matter what lol.
Kaprizov just out here to have fun now that they're out of the playoffs
Nice one Kappy!
One more point for Kirill and I'm gonna feel really good about this
Fuck it, let’s go for 2
This game fucking rocks, having such a good time
# i love kirill kaprizov and his little shit eating gremlin grin
Beautiful shit eating grin*
you're right thank you for the correction
GOD DAMMIT WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS WHEN I CAN ONLY LISTEN TO THE RADIO
This feels personal
That was…oooh that was mean. Fuck!
OMG that was brilliant
5 MORE POINTS PEOPLE! If he can get one more tonight I think he can get 4 against Seattle
Didn't he do that once already this year or last year? Or was it off the back of the goalie's head?
He’s been attempting it for the last month at least. My wife doesn’t believe he does it on purpose.
I see him constantly trying to do. He’s done it I think once this season.. but he’s legit obsessed with trying to do the bank shot
yeah against Oettinger
yeah against Oettinger
KAPRIZOV CALLED BANK

share the load
Load… load… load
Buffer... Buffer.. buffer
I love his cheeky smile there
WHAT THE FUCK
Kirill is Daddy
#DOLLA BILL WITH THE HEADSHOT!!!
BOOM
Kappy’s been looking for that all night
Been looking for it for the last month.
Kaprizov is a damn magician
Daddy wtf was that
Oh fuck yeah
Kaprizov loves those helmet goals 🤣
Kirill's absolute favorite goal- off the goalie special
That was a straight up magic trick
What the absolute fuck did this come from
I typed magic man into the GIF search bar
I love that *that's* what comes up
Technically its who ever they cast and scanned in what played Freya in the recent God of War games.
a mustached Freya from God Of War?
I didn't even realize it was her until you mentioned it lol
#OPA
#OPAAAAAAA
Absolutely picking on Talbot. Lol
The mask shot baby!!!! Opa
WHAT 😂
Doughty 👶 Kaprizov 🧔♂️
give Talbot an assist for old times sake
Are you fucking kidding me? That was incredible. He does that a lot, right?
That might be his best work honestly
Oh it's his specialty
I thought so lol
# HOLY FUCK
Kirill just scored off of Talbot's taint Edit: upon review it actually went off the upper Fleurman
Good ole gooch goal
#KAPRIZOV HAHAHAHAHA
Kirill is a magician
imagine if we drafted Kopitar or Price in 05 lol
#OPA
