GDT: 2020-21 season game 28 LA Kings vs St. Louis Blues 7:00pm 3/17/21

[Raccoon Jesus]

Better option is Athanasiou-Lizotte-Vilardi

Gabe's future is on the wing

NOt that I disagreed but I'm starting to really feel like this is the case.

They'e given him two of the fastest wingers of the game and he still can't really cover enough ice to play C effectively in the Kings' system. He's got the ability and the brain, but not the feet.

It'll help him learn some defensive responsibility which is great but the guy is dangerous in tight spaces and from the blueline in, let's stop making him have the puck so much high in the zones or low behind our net.

 

[Rooks]

If you move Vilardi to wing they'll probably put Amadio back in for his replacement at center.

Yeah... We can't have that

 

[LAKings88]

Tonka line is the best of the night.

 

[tny760]

that cutback by JAD... sheesh

 

[DAkings20]

JAD

I think the reassuring thing is that regardless of where he plays, we finally have a new solid top 6 player for the kings. And it's been a while since we've drafted one.

If only Lizotte was like 6 inches taller. Love his tenacity.

roy gap control on kyrou 1v1 again

just nothing there at all, unsung hero

 

[kingsfan28]

I don't think valardi knew he was that wide open when he shot it . An extra second and he can pick his shot.

Not a bad 7th rounder

 

[Bandit]

The JAD line is living proof that there is no substitute for busting your ass.

 

[HookKing]

Maata has been unnoticeably good tonight.

 

[tny760]

Maata has been unnoticeably good tonight.

yeah he's had a pretty good game

good team defense in general tbh, all the blues big guns have been effectively neutralized

 

[SlimCharles]

These jerseys are soooo good.

I don't understand in which universe is going into a defensive shell a good idea. Allowing your opponents to build momentum is bad

 

[kingsholygrail]

Come on... empty net goal. Come on.

 

[tny760]

Come on... empty net goal. Come on.

would be a good time for one huh

i mean they were getting it done but for a while there it felt like boucher-era sens, stuff up the entry then punt, stuff then punt.. thankfully i think the blues blew their wad in the 2nd

gotta protect against the perron/ROR greaser goals though

 

[kingsfan28]

they needed that tv timeout. everyone was gassed!

For sure but this defense is way tooooo inexperienced to be relied upon such a task

 

[kingsholygrail]

Need to be more selfish.

LOL Kopitar.

 

[Bandit]

They’re gonna tie this with the EN aren’t they?

 

[Sol]

Does Kempe ever smile

 

[Bandit]

Lmao

 

[LAKings88]

LA only scores empty betters when they don’t try.

 

[tny760]

"i don't think he's just clearing, i think he's trying to get the goal" cmon jimmy he just chucked it and it worked out..
