Hodgson hit on Stone. Clean?

[Pevsfreedom]

Wow, what a mature, incredibly level headed and well articulated take. From ... ... ... ... Brad Marchand?

Last time I saw him I think he was screaming at the refs, throwing things, and smashing cameras in the penalty box Adrenaline is a helluva drug.

Steve Dangle’s pod today has a great segment on this incident. Says a King has to fight Stone after those comments/Clarke wrangling or else the whole league will lose respect for LA and they’ll be right.

Though he’s woefully wrong in saying it needs to be Doughty (how does he not know he doesn’t fight?) the truth hurts when he says it’s a short list who can stand up to Stone. Then the kicker is when he says as a Leafs fan he’s well qualified to talk about a “chicken sh*t team who gets punked by everyone.” OUCH!

Jesse (Dangle show) was right in saying Englund would be the best option to fight, but who knows if he’ll even make it. Made me think. He’s not a fighter but PLD has a definite edge and I’m again reminded of one of the more important upsides to that trade. Plus I still do hope Englund shows he can play. Clarke or Spence both need him.

Adrian Kempe would go with Stone.

I get being intimidated but trust me as you know there will be a lot tougher guys than Stone roughing him up so the Kings better get a Gudas type to ride shotgun with him or the kid will have a very long season. Can you imagine what Tom Wilson would have done?

Tom Wilson was on my frickin Christmas wish list. I got pretty excited when I heard the rumblings that the Kings were inquiring.

Doubling down here to throw in that Danault would definitely drop the mitts with Stone as well

I was pretty happy to hear Stones comments myself, if their captain thinks the whole league is going to roll over for them because they won last year that's fine by me.

This Saturday afternoon you know there will be some chirping goin down.

I wish we had signed Gudas, not the f***ing Ducks. Exactly the kind of grit we sure could use, a la Greene, Mitchell, Regehr, etc.

I remember the year we traded for Smyth during preseason, Gudas was trying out for the Kings. He really impressed me and was surprised he didn’t make the squad.

I had heard through a very reliable source they were or did kick the tires on him as to me he's exactly what they need but that contract he got from Washington was way too much for the Kings.

Instantly one of the worst 5 contracts in the NHL. Great job GMBM.

It's almost a guarantee given how he plays he will get hurt more every year he gets older but man he's exactly what the Kings need up front especially in the playoffs.
