You tried to extrapolate the fact that Mike Richards plays on the PP means that he isn't a fourth-liner

I'm telling you that just because the guy is on the PP -- and Anze Kopitar missed three games, btw, which meant Richards got a few more minutes there -- doesn't mean that he's not one, because on the Kings, he is one

- AllInForFlyers


4th line players don't typically play on the PP. So that Richards averages more PP time then Dustin Brown and Justin Williams does, suggests that he is not a 4th line player.

So let's remove special teams icetime and just look at ES icetime. Richards is 8th among all King Forwards in ES icetime. Again that points to Richards not being a 4th line player. More icetime at ES then Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli.

Interesting how nobody praised your very good point the way a collective group just went wooo and uhhhhh to the post prior.

With this group, it's all about blind dislike for someone or something. Many will respond that I'm wrong but that's when the blind comes in.

- SuperSchennBros


There's at least two of us that ignore anything he writes, so that's unfair to say the group failed to praise his good point.

Richards is a fourth line for the LA Kings. Would Richards be a fourth line player for the Toronto Maple Leafs? Interesting how 15:17 minutes per night is now considered fourth line minutes. Guys like Jimmy Dowd and Blair Betts were probably 10 to 12 minute guys here.

You mean the Leafs team that has made the playoffs once in the last decade?

See, here's the thing: Just because you're able to move up on a bad team doesn't make you a good player

Branko Radivojevic was a third-liner for the Flyers in the 56-point season -- that didn't make him top-9 forward

I'm just going to keep talking Hockey, if they want to comment on the poster, instead of the post, I'll just ignore it. I have no time for that.

His comment made no sense. VL played on the 4th line and PP last year. Raffl has spent a lot of time on the top line and rarely gets any PP time. There is no one who would take VL over Raffl. Well, no competent hockey person.

Ive grown to like Sundays with 2real. In fact, if you read it after the game it is even better.

Even a bad team can have some good players. But I understand your point. But what he is basically saying is that even if Richards was a 4th line player on the Kings, which is he isn't. If the quality of the roster should be taken into account for where a player plays on a bad team. Shouldn't it also be taken into account for where a player plays on a top team? And on a team that has won the Cup twice in the last 3 seasons?

What isn't unconstitutional though is my right to get #rekt.

I'm booked for trips to bars tomorrow, Friday, and Sunday. The latter is a fishing trip. Drunk on a boat. Yes. Last night me and a group went out and celebrated a friend's 21st.

Monday as well is booked. Jazz club with 5 dollar jack and cokes yes please.

Ample time to see the better half and the piano this week and next.

I dig.

Sure it made sense. Lecavalier was moved to the 4th line because of an injury. It didn't make Lecavalier a 4th line player. It's an outlier. 4th line players normally don't have the skill set to play on the PP.


Let's look at the other side of the street. On how may good teams would Raffl be a top line LW?
