Bernster: Firstly, I’m pretty sure Kopitar skates just fine. I’m not going out on a limb here in saying he’s one of the top skaters in the world. However he does it, I don’t care. Same with Deadmarsh, his style was odd but it worked.

And that must be a big box of Fruit Loops throwing out both a line playing in Anaheim (despite what the Angels think, its not LA) and a trio that’s not always together this year.

Thanks for reading regardless.

How do they teach kids how to skate in Slovenia? Cause I just don’t like Kopi’s skating style…. Looka like he’ll fall over every time he does his forward crossovers…. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen him skate backwards. Oh well, just like to throw some fruit loops into the conversation. How bout’ that Getzlaf-Perry-Ryan line down in OC?

I disagree with you… I also think that in dating three’s a charm; so long as you pick the right three.

I like this post. I’m a big fan of the Kings. I love guys like Johnston and Doughty and of course, Kopitar (how could you not like him?).

Kopitar’s skill is off the charts and Dustin Brown is a more physical version of Mike Richards.

I love the fact the Kings have been patient with drafting and haven’t rushed things. The only thing I didn’t like was them trading Kyle Quincey… but it looks like its working out pretty well for them.

All that said, the Kings need to be much more consistent with a roster this solid.

We probably didn’t see much of the Frolov-Demitra-Conroy line because the coaches couldn’t get through to Fro.

What? Too soon?

I have to say I think there was a lot of chatter about Kopitar being a 1A center instead of a 1. I know I’ve certainly heard people talk about him being somewhat disappointing because of his production from last year.

Kopitar is finally breaking out. That said, did we expect him to be a top-line center in the league in his first couple of years? No, you have to learn that position.

I’ll tell you a potent Kings line that I wish we saw more of but didn’t: Frolov-Demitra-Conroy. They dominated in 05-06.
