Post-Game Talk: 12/30/17 | Kings 4 @ Canucks 3

[M2Beezy]

Twice he couldnt clear the puck with 15 seconds left on the PK what an idiot Eriksson is

 

[hockeyisgud]

Our defense is hot garbage.

except Stecher he's on one tonight

 

[Verbalyst]

Where the heck was Gudbranson on that play?

That wasn't Gudbranson's fault at all he was lined up on the left side of the center. Hutton inexplicably left the center of the ice and skated to where Gudbranson was.

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Outside of Stecher tonight our defense has just been purely awful

Giddy - Hutton pairing is so bad it's not even funny, and having Pouliot and MDZ together is a tire fire defensively

 

[Cupless44]

There was a moment 15 minutes ago when he touched the puck; it was at that moment that I realized that I had forgotten he even existed.

Mind boggling how much longer we are stuck with the Clown.

I know Benning is at fault for such a misguided signing. I know players are going to take as much money as they can from the market. But at what point does this stiff feel ashamed for the effort and results he puts out for 6 million dollars??

 

[Jack Burton]

Incoming real Drew Doughty GWG

 

[Cupless44]

For some reason, both Hutton and Gudbranson both went up on the play. They thought the Canucks had possession for some reason.

Overall, I thought the pairing looked decent this game minus that one gaff

I have thought Gudbranson has looked a bit better the last 2 games after Christmas.

Honesty the 6 mill at the time of the announcement didn't bother me...it was the 6 year term that made me fall off my chair.

Absolutely terrible term and a brutal misjudgment by Benning.

We offered him the term(2 years more than Boston), money, and the bullshit buyout proof structure.

 

[MS]

Markstrom is having a monster game tonight. This shouldn't be tied.

Absolutely. But it was reasonable to expect 2-3 half decent seasons out of this player for that price, but he has been awful since the very start of the contract. If this is year 1 and year 2, it is unfathomable to think of how useless he will be at the back end of this contract.

Newsflash: our goalies HAVE to put in a monster effort or we get touchdowns scored agents us

The D is not very good.

I've got no problem burying him in the minors.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Unreal

 

[Ozone]

Wooooooooooo! Great play

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Was that goal a shorty?

 

[Canuckle1970]

Was that sweet or what for Dowd?!

 

[yvrtojfk]

LA is straight up trash.

 

[Josepho]

Feeling a Nic Dowd own goal tonight.

knew it

 

[EpochLink]

Dowd, well now

 

[Zombotron]

knew it

you are some kind of god damn wizard

 

[Cupless44]

Dowd has been playing better the past few games actually. Has been physical and working hard.

 

[TruKnyte]

Strong defending by 44 there

 

[Melvin]

That crease clearing from Gudbranson.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Played with a high stick right? Right?...
