Alright look, I'm a Sabres guy through and through, but I gotta give credit where it's due here - the Kings are putting together a pretty solid week!
That 2-0-0 record against the Rangers and Blues is no joke. And Taylor Ward getting that two-year extension right after scoring in the Blues game? Kid's earning his keep, that's for sure. $875K AAV on what sounds like a one-way deal - that's the organization saying "we believe in you." Good for him.
Kenny Connors getting the call-up is interesting too. Ontario's been rolling lately - that 4-1 beatdown of Colorado shows the pipeline is healthy. Guttman with two goals in the first period? Sheesh. When your AHL team is 27-12-1-1, you've got options, and that's a nice problem to have.
The Jared Wright story is pretty cool too. Goes from Frozen Four to pro hockey that fast and actually makes an impact? Denver's been churning out some legit talent lately.
Now if only the Sabres could figure out their development system like this... but that's a rant for another day.
Anyone watching that Kings-Blues game live? 3-3 after two is gonna be a barn burner finish!
