GDT: 2020-21 season game 30 LA Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights @3:00pm 3/21/21

Stoll dishing out the 5 on 3 defensive wisdom. "Know where the one-timers are." Yup!

 

[Schmooley]

First two periods were textbook. Everyone did their job well. Third was rocky but Petersen was a rock. Love beating Vegas! Carter and Lizotte I thought had great games and Iafallos last two games have been his best of the year.

Mark Stone is an asshole. Total douche bag move to wind up a slapshot from 20 feet out at a bad angle with 5 seconds left and down two goals.

I thought that was pretty dumb too. The game was done. There was no reason.

 

[Little Psycho]

Marty had a good view of Carter's goal...good, he was annoying all game

 

[Steve Zissou]

Jesus. Kopi and his racoon eyes look like he just ran 2 marathons.

 

[Reaper45]

What’s the matter with Maatta?

 

[Crownroyal21]

Great game. It’s all coming together, I feel. Good coaching, PK and power play way better. Who would of thought that the JAD-Moore-Grundstum would be the second line.

Hard to believe he’s well over PPG despite looking questionable on a lot of nights, but he is. Getting older is no picnic.

"upper body injury will not return" was what i last heard, he got kinda routine checked into the boards and didn't return

i guess it seemed like maybe he bounced his head off the glass a bit but it wasn't some huge hit

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Anyone else get the feeling that starting the 3rd, the Kings were content to just sit back......not a good feeling or a good look etc....

PP. Never had more PP points than ES points in a season. Currently 16 at ES, and 21 on the PP.

Yeah ok, but they still count. Historically our power play has been a steaming pile of shit. Not sure why we’d throw shade oat the fact that it’s finally good?

7 guys in the lineup, including the goalie, still have yet to play 100 NHL games, with another 4 at less than the equivalent of 2 seasons, and 3 of those 4 are d-men. A couple 36 year old's hanging around. Lost their 2nd most experienced d-man in the 1st. Playing one of the best teams in the league, who have scored the most 3rd period goals in the league so far.

Just accept the win.

Just saying why I think he's able to put up points despite looking questionable on a lot of nights. No shade. You said Kopitar is getting old, and he's picking up more points than usual when he's in the O-zone. It's helping Brown too.

 

[Mats26]

A little credit to Wagner. I feel dropping the gloves on that Andersen hit is a good sign that this team is playing for each other.

Fair enough. Kopitar is tied for 5th in league scoring. Not bad for a declining has been on a shit team.

You can't be serious....

 

[Steve Zissou]

I thought it was Grundstrom throwing the hit but yeah wasn’t pretty.

 

[head eyes]

I swear Faust doesn't even watch the game while he's commentating.

 

[Bandit]

Surprised Grundstrom survived that TBH.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Between this and the Reign, a pretty damn good day.

 

[Lt Dan]

You can't be serious....

He is serious and don't call him Shirley

Ya know... I'm pretty sure Vegas was interested in winning the game also.

 

[King'sPawn]

Yup. Good teams, especially when down, up the intensity.

The Kings knew they were going to face pushback.
