The Defenseman are leaving the goalies out to dry again!

 

[Sol]

Some amazing acting. You'd think his leg got hit by shrapnel

 

[kingsboy11]

Can't really think of a positive in this one. Seems like they got worse as the game wore on

 

[kingsholygrail]

They seemed alright for a while and then just died on the ice. But I can't be mad. Patriots lost.

One of the worst showing of bad showings so far. No jump no hustle, lethargic all around. 2020 starting off the way we wanted I guess.

 

[kingsholygrail]

So bad the feed died.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Thank God the screen went black. They’ve spared us of further torture.

Spoke too soon, we couldn’t enjoy staring at a black screen for long.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Just realized the Kings were killing another penalty. Oh 4 on 4. Looked like 5 on 4.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The last Kings shot on goal was at 14:47. They went 13 minutes until they got their third shot on net.

Not fun to watch. Glad more of my focus is on the WJC

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Rare total egg on home ice.

Not surprised Martinez got picked on so much, he's had a lot of time off. Surprised he got thrown right into a game tbh.

Not much to glean from this one, pretty much everyone crapped the bed. Burn the tapes, bag skate em, move on.

All that being said--I'd like to see more of what Frk can do before he goes down. Send down Luff. Dude has zero identity and everything he can do someone else can do better.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

The product on the ice matched the current state of the product they were hawking all broadcast.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Not to bash Kopitar, but man is he slow. He had better jump at the start of the season. He's not moving his feet or exerting much at all. I recall the early years, where he was working his azz off on the
dryland training - doing off ice drills on the roller rink part of the training center. He was quick and agile - and probably 20 pounds lighter. Now, at 31 and 2 little kids and married, I bet no way he's spending time on that level of training...and he must. I recall last year when Stoll was saying "I know he's more than 230 lbs" and was chuckling. He needs to shed 10 lbs and get back to work.

Overall, he's been good most all year and this is not bashing him...but I;ve seen every team several times this year, between all King games, having NHL center ice and catching
most AVS games here in Denver too. I cannot think of a slower player in the league. I know part of it is, you're watching a 6'3" 240 lb player...but man, move your feet.

This game was about as entertaining as The Last Jedi.

I just want this season to be over. We're currently 4th in the Tankathon Standings.

 

[kingsfan28]

All our centers earned their minus tonight. lose the draw, score a goal. Hell, even when we won one, we never got it out of our zone and gave it right back 15 seconds later [goal 4].

 

[KingsFan7824]

Didn't they practice the defensive zone faceoffs the last few days or something? The Blues game was the first game back from a long road trip, and the game before the xmas break. So, built in excuse there. This one was after an extra day off. Don't always get 3 full days between games. A solid stinker, either way.

So bad the feed died.

Spectrum? Our news channel 01 lost video a few days ago. The audio is fine, but the video has disappeared. ???

I had the misfortune of attending this game, thankfully in a suite. The 2nd most boring Kings game I've ever been to. The most excitement we got is when the dessert cart person came into the suite.
