GDT: 2020-21 season Game 14 LA Kings vs Minnesota Wild @7:00pm 2/16/21

[KingLB]

Best part of the game so far,

It’s been the lines besides Kopis controlling play.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Number 3 for Moore

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Lets see LA's vaunted PP

 

[fsanford]

Loving that 2nd power play unit. Several years since pp units have looked this good

 

[Sol]

The second unit is insane.. My God.

 

[KingLB]

Wow Vilardi could have 4 pts this period. Probably his best period all season.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Vilardi has looked incredible tonight

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Can the King's send out the 2nd PP unit they had far better chances than the "1st"!

 

[kingsboy11]

2 games in a row with outstanding first periods. Something to build on.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

1st unit have been delivering, but wow, Vilardi JAD Carter Grundstrom are a joy on PP2.

 

[Jericho111091]

Vilardi makes me feel things

 

[Sol]

Anyone who complains about Vilardi should be burnt at the stake.

 

[HookKing]

One thing I love about TM's influence on the PP. No more weak passes -- even on just throw ins deep into the zone. Everything has a little mustard on it.

 

[cyclones22]

Kings must've upgraded Vilardi's firmware during his maintenance day.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Any Kings Fan want to weigh in on who Seattle chooses from Minnesota in Expansion draft?

The kids are looking good. JAD has earned his spot. My question is Strand. He looks really good and he is big, which we need. My question is where does he rank on out top 20 prospects list. I don’t ever remember seeing his name on it. How did he fly under the radar?

He must've been in the 30s in our vote here. He's been an absolute revelation. I'm blown away with how poised he looks with the puck. His passing has been crisp. Not afraid to carry the puck.

 

[Nickster]

So periodically GV just needs an oil change and tune-up.

Ferrari's do spend a lot of time in the mechanics shop...

 

[Mats26]

Someone needs to verify Bjornfot's birth certificate...no way that kid is 19

Its scary to think that without all the carnage on the right side he might not have even gotten a sip...

Dino Ciccarelli?

Hes been 19 for 19 years.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Personally I think there is a side deal happening because the Wild don't want to lose 1 of their Top 4 D-man...so what 4 Forwards do they protect and who do they expose Parise(NMC),Greenway...Zuccarello(NMC),Fiala,Eriksson Ek,one's got to go...Hartman and a draft pick,Delpedio and a draft pick...any ideas?

Roy, getting his first PP action of the year has been just as important.

Strand is looking like he may eventually be a threat on the PP as well. I saw him a lot in Ontario over the past couple of years, and he never looked composed enough to be thought of as a solid NHLer yet. Man, he is dialed in and playing with confidence.

Knee jerk reaction is that Sean Walker could be a solid trade piece if Strand keeps pace.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Hes been 19 for 19 years.

He'll be 20 April 6,2021
