Yeah Tkachuk is the same guy who was admittedly laughing his ass off when his teammate took a slapper into an empty net not too long ago.  He has zero room to be upset about something like this.

That's exactly it. Tkachuk had a phenomenal game and I get why the situation pissed him off but it's a comical overreaction ESPECIALLY given the previous incident.

Excerpt taken from a story from the Hockey Writers (Kings: What’s Behind Pierre-Luc Dubois’ Struggles This Season?) by Michael Ostrower:

Finding a Groove

A challenge in being on three teams in four seasons is finding chemistry with linemates. He has had to learn three different systems while having multiple head coaches who put him in dozens of different line combinations. This has especially been a challenge this season for the Kings, as he has had two head coaches and has yet to play in any line combination that has spent over 165 minutes together.

So far this season, Dubois has spent 164.4 minutes with Kevin Fiala and Alex Laferriere, 129.8 with Laferriere and Arthur Kaliyev, and 107.1 with Laferriere and Carl Grundstrom. To look at those numbers and think Dubois is entirely to blame for his inconsistency is foolish, as it is impossible to get accustomed to a new city, facility, team, and system when you have inconsistent linemates and coaching. He has spent time across the lineup, too, playing as a first-line scorer and a third-line checker, and every role in between. He is a dominant offensive force when utilized correctly, it is just time for his head coach to see that.

 

 

I'm pretty confident this article was actually written by PLD.

Phone call to the Hockey Writers: Hi, I'd like to speak to Michael Ostrower.

HW: I'm sorry, who?

Caller: Michael Ostrower?

HW: Nope, no one here by that name.

I said this months ago. 
 

why would they call them roadrunners when none exist in Utah? 
 

Utah Polygamists more likely than Roadrunners.

Well considering roadrunners is the name of an ahl team 

 

what is this. 1980s Saturday morning cartoons? 

Because team names don't ever get re-used by other leagues? The Tuscon Roadrunners are the Coyotes farm team so if they did rename them to that, it'd be following a bit of an NHL/AHL pattern.  Can you guess the parent club for these AHL teams:

Abbotsford Canucks

Belleville Senators

Bridgeport Islanders

Iowa Wild

Providence Bruins

Texas Stars

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins

 

I don't think the league is too concerned about the name being too cartoony, as long as they make money.  I mean they allowed a team to be called the Mighty Ducks and use this as a logo.

Unlike the thriving jazz culture in Salt Lake City or Provo. 

Yup, the Jazz moved from New Orleans to Utah but kept the name.  It happens every now and then... the Lakers moved from Minnesota (land of 10 000 lakes) to L.A. (home of a whopping 6 natural lakes) but kept the name.

Some times keeping the name is appropriate. The Atlanta Flames were named after the Civil War burning of Atlanta but the name still works in Calgary because they are a tire fire franchise.

the Baseketball scene where they reference all the teams moving is so great....
