GDT: 2019-20 GM#52 LA Kings vs Arizona Coyotes @6:30pm 1/30/20

[Frolov 6'3]

Yes Jeff looked like a rookie there and he knew it.

 

[KingsFan7824]

definitely but carter gets literally no punishment for getting handily shoved off his man and not even recovering in time to try again

i just think if you're gonna make a guy go out there for one more shift thinking he's got an opportunity to make up for it, then staple him to the bench instead, you're doing something wrong yourself. it's not right scapegoating a singular player like that

doubling down on kopi's minutes in the 3rd isn't exactly impressing me much either. riding your big guns into the dirt for a nothing game when you're in last place is pretty stupid imo

It is dumb, but at some point, ya just have to accept that this is what coaches do. Their job is to win any individual game. You need Brad Pitt to come in and trade the guy the coach plays off the roster.

 

[FrozenKing18]

Saw the highlights. Good on Iafallo, those goals were great. The OT sequence with Kopi was a beauty

 

[Lt Dan]

After all the **** I've talked about Iafallo he's now on pace for 22 goals and 50 points.

Crank up the pressure so he hits 30 goals

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Man, my favorite part of being a kings fan outside of 2012-2014 is watching the media destroy teams, players, and coaches anytime our terrible team wins against them

now the Hall trade is a mistake and AZ is terrible

 

[BigKing]

Peter James Bond was one of Iaffalo’s biggest fans.

To be fair, he's every prospects biggest fan.

Good for Iafallo. He's a good player. Still feel he's ideally a really good 3rd liner on a good team and there is nothing wrong with that.

 

[Butch 19]

I’m certainly not against keeping him but he’s what? 27? Not sure he’s gonna be doing much more development.

Did you help develop Matt Moulson too?

I'm giving Carts the benefit of the doubt because he came out of the box and was trying to sort things out, like what happens after a pk ends. He wasn't the reason they scored. I actually thought it was interference in front that ARZ got away with on that play.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Good for Iafallo. He's a good player. Still feel he's ideally a really good 3rd liner on a good team and there is nothing wrong with that.

Well in this case, he was actually not a fan of him.

i think there's a difference with getting beat but you were on your man and missing your coverage altogether..

I'm a big proky guy and am rooting for him so I hope the Kings don't give up on him. I know, he's 26 but the nhl is different than the KHL.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Like everyone might have seen meanwhile, Iafallo just turned 26.

He started late, and most of the time, these players age well. Little wear and tear.

That said, it would be cool to sell high. I would do it.

 

[ibleedkings]

Iafallo scored 24 seconds into overtime. #kobe

 

[Frolov 6'3]

I wonder if Quick is on meth.

2017 vs. 2019

Not good.

They're tumbling pretty hard right now. Not sure what happened there. Could Hall really be that kind of locker room cancer? This just makes me more mad about Kopitar not winning the Hart.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

2017 vs. 2019

Not good.

looked like the second picture is Quick after a workout/practice.

 

[Bandit]

Did you help develop Matt Moulson too?

Yup, taught him everything he knows.

 

[Bandit]

I wonder if Quick is on meth.

2017 vs. 2019

Not good.

Definitely dipping in the first pic, and either also doing so in the second or his face is permanently deformed from it. gross.

 

[BigKing]

Well in this case, he was actually not a fan of him.

Haha. Got it now.

It's because he actually played in the NHL right away as opposed to playing decent in Ontario first which would have led to saying he should be called up and get a chance on a scoring line.

I'll never forget Dallas sacking their GM after a come-from behind King's victory in the 90's.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

You mean that game in 2007 when LA won with 6-5 in OT when trailing 4-0 with just 7 minutes left ?

That was Doug Armstrong, wasnt in the 90s and happened one month after that loss.

 

[kingsholygrail]

He looks better in the second pic. Looks kinda funny in the first one.

As I said, I'll never forget

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

And Coyotes fans are calling for Rick Tocchet’s head after last night’s loss.

 

[HookKing]

I wonder if Quick is on meth.

2017 vs. 2019

Not good.

Nah, that's just that full moon thing.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Iafallo didn't get a natural hattrick right? Because Arizona scored between his 1st and 2nd?
