GDT: 2020-21 season Game #1 LA Kings vs Minnesota Wild @7:00pm 1/14/21

[Bandit]

What’s a Matta you?

 

[bland]

Getting manhandled on the regular now

 

[Bandit]

Gotta say too, if they had some cardboard cutouts in the seats you probably wouldn’t even notice the difference.

 

[Sol]

"Kopitar wants to slow it down" No Jim, that's his top speed.

 

[Bandit]

Didn’t amount to anything but that was a nice breakout pass from Iafallo to Kopitar.

They eventually found a good level on the crowd noise too

 

[lumbergh]

Maatta and Doughty -2 on the night.

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

Rusty. Ugly. Outworked.

Game 1 in a nutshell.

But hey,Carter looks fast so that's cool .
Nice shift their by the Kings @650...finally

 

[Little Psycho]

Maatta and Doughty -2 on the night.

Maatta has stood out...in a bad way.

yeah, basically zero

i'm glad they noticed too

or at least got tired of turning the knob

 

[Bandit]

Yup doesn’t sound half bad.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings hockey is back, baby. Blowing two goal leads, how I missed thee.

 

[HookKing]

Am I the only one crazy enough to think Turcotte wouldn't thrive in this game?

 

[Bandit]

Athanasiou’s eyebrow game is STRONG.

 

[Sol]

Kopitar playing like present day Joe Thornton.

 

[tny760]

Maatta has stood out...in a bad way.

honestly i feel like he's anchoring that pairing, doughty seems out to lunch

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Wonder what the off-season conditioning program entailed? These guys were doing well in the first two periods and now it looks like the gas tank is on empty.

 

[tny760]

the gauntlet the kings have to run through in order to chase down the puck on dumps is literally insane

there is SO much obstruction going on it's incredible

 

[Bandit]

Matta even skates like Muzzin. Weird to see.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Lack of discipline as a result of being behind on plays is going to plague them again this year.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The way some of these guys are falling all over the ice makes it look like a bunch of kids who are stepping on ice for the first time in their lives.

And a very timely penalty to take, ugh.

 

[tny760]

and they call THAT holding? get the f*** outta here

 

[Sol]

I'm so impressed the amount of penalties on the Kings considering how much obstruction they're getting away with

 

[HookKing]

Reality is brutal, Maata is a a bottom pairing guy.

 

[Little Psycho]

Cherry on the top for Maatta
