[The Lukeman]

This game is getting a little ridiculous

 

[Scottkmlps]

This coach is mind boggling. Talks Byfield up every chance he gets then gives him minimal ice time.

 

[HookKing]

If you blink you miss his shifts.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Huge hit by Stutzle on Byram.

 

[The Butcher]

11 goal lead put the kid in the game ffs.

 

[Steve Zissou]

JJ Peterka and Stutzle look good on Germany but that's about it. Stutzle with a little snarl out there in the 2nd (down now 10-1).

I think this is QB's 2nd full hockey game as an 18 year old. Lots of maturity and growth to go but man....having Zegras and Stutzle as LA Kings prospects if we picked them would of changed our offense for a decade.

All I can say is Byfield needs to give the coach a reason to play. He hasn't done that. He hasn't passed the eye test. He took a stupid penalty and has gotten pretty much benched. He's being outplayed by his teammates,not much else to say. He'll get better,but it's a tad concerning,at least short term.

Then I'd say garbage time with an 11 goal lead is the perfect time to get him out there to shake out the jitters and maybe even just to show a little mercy to this German team.

I don't think that penalty was the reason. Right now he's just a terrible hockey player. Kings may have made a huge mistake. They better hope its rust and growing pains.

Lol?

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

To my untrained eye: He doesn't appear to be grasping some basic concepts. He's under a lot of pressure. I feel for the kid.

I'm really hoping it's not an attitude problem or exhibiting petulant behavior behind the scenes, only way to justify not giving him a little sniff in this 3rd period.

 

[tbrown33]

you guys are hilarious

 

[HookKing]

Lol?

You may see the next Malkin I'm seeing the next Andy Andreoff.

 

[Anguyen92]

Now, I'm a guy that thinks "never say never, anything and everything can happen in hockey," but can we get a mercy rule here?

 

[King'sPawn]

Good for Faber.

I'm seeing the next andys on this board.

 

[kilowatt]

Good for Faber.

He deserves it. He did everything asked of him and then some.

 

[Anguyen92]

Did Germany already did a goalie change at some point in this game?

 

[King'sPawn]

Byfield with the assist. Time to draw conclusions of his future because of a shift!

 

[King'sPawn]

Yes. The starting goalie was worse.

 

[kilowatt]

He's the next Joe Thornton.
