Can't say I have an opinion at all, but if the reviewer played pro-hockey then you have to assume he knows a fair amount. @BlackBiscuit,

Wow — if we get 75% of that review he’ll be a solid contributor. Can’t say I have an opinion at all, but if the reviewer played pro-hockey then you have to assume he knows a fair amount.

No you had it right JT=Starks — in other words “who?”

So with Schneider likely off the board Bernier becomes the #1 young goalie available assuming he is made available. Well, if not the #1, then the #2. @Jeff_R,

This is like the 88 Dodgers. If it's going to happen it will but in the most improbably way. Enjoy it for what it is. @DesertKing,

Big, tough two way player that has ability to score and handle the rough stuff. Watched him in Oshawa. Guy is gonna be a stud! Andreoff would be a great fit.

Ranford got to suit up which im sure was fun for the team but this is why you need an extra goalie around. when do i get to shoot you? @Wes, they needed him yesterday….for practice. the Starting goaltender doesnt always practice when theres only one day between games, and you usually need two goalies for practice.

Not just Loktionov. @Paul, There are at least 10 players ahead of him on the depth chart. Not just Loktionov.

You see the light as I do for the Kings having a special player like Tyler. I really think the Kings have been stagnant not playing Toffoli in any pre-season games the past 2 seasons and last 2 training camps @BlackBiscuit, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
