GDT: 2020-21 season game 34 LA Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights @7:00pm 3/31/21

[LAKings88]

Do not feaking blow this lead Kings.

And figure out the damn PP.

 

[Bandit]

We’re gonna lose this one again, and it will be the power play’s fault. Again.

 

[KingLB]

Really? Seems more like Grundstrom to me. Andersson is like 43 lbs soaking wet.

Neither are as physical as I’d expect from guys with their reputations, that are still fringe NHL guys.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Man I wish Lizotte was a foot taller.

Lizotte gives the Kings effort that's for sure

 

[HookKing]

Kings much more aggressive tonight -- gives Vegas something to worry about.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Came out better on Monday.....and lost........today....winning 2-0 lol gotta loveit....

Finally Andersson is in the lineup, he just has to play well enough to stick......

True but Grundstrom is thicker and can hit when it tickles him. Can’t really say the same for 24. Either way they’re a destitute version of Brown to be sure.

Not sure I'd say fringe...developing

Andersson should be in the lineup every night. The guy has skill and ability.
If nothing else, develop him into something over the next 12 months while you're cooking all these kids in the AHL and junior... and if you don't want to keep him, maybe you'll have a decent trade asset.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

That was a helluva nice race to the puck and then a backhander from Andreas Athanasiou...he is pure speed...sign him up Kings

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Man did Father Time ever show up hard for Carter or what?

I feel like Andersson is the closest player in the mold of Brownie

I agree. Said similar in his prospect thread. If you recall his highlight reel it's like everything he does is within 5-10 feet of the net. This goal was emblematic, he just sticks his nose in there and gets it done. He'll never be the big hitter/full presence Brownie is but not many are--but he's a unique quality amongst Kings prospects which is why I think he eventually sticks. Maybe more like a Ryan Smyth minus the fear of the South Bay.

 

[LAKings88]

Strand should be in every night...er just enough to not need protection.

Don't say Trade,Lias Andersson is a good player that will only get better he has the compete and wheels!!!

He needs protection no matter how much he plays.

A decent number 7-8 I'd say! Like to see more of Clague the puckrushing D-man with the wheels

 

[kingsfan28]

They got that 2nd goal. Now about the pp....

 

[LAKings88]

He needs protection no matter how much he plays.

Then all the games belong to him

I have no faith that Clague is a factor in LAs future.

Yeah. I know. But you can only have so many young forwards.
Kupari. Andersson. Byfield. Vilardi. THomas. Turcotte. Kaliyev. Anderson-Dolan. Fagemo. Madden.
I really don't see all of those guys being part of the team in 2-3 years.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Size wise yes, but playing style no. Both Brown and Andersson like to stick their head/body in the dirty area's, both have that captain swagger, and that physical play.

Grundstrum is like a young Simmer when he first came into the league or like a prime Stumpel.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

I still have hope he sees more time in LA

I dunno. I see Grundstrom hitting people in the corners and taking the puck to the crease. Not as much as I’d like but he does it.

 

[bland]

Andersson has some nasty in him. Grundstrom too, but he has had a pretty docile run of games lately.

Hell, we will see who has what when they start getting scrummed up with Lemieux's antics. Guessing Lias won't mind too much.

Still think bringing Lucic back for the next couple of years isn't the worst idea. They can afford it, especially if Calgary eats a million and Luff or Wagner heads north. Lucic - Lizotte - Lemieux would a fun 9 minutes a night.

Of course, but Carter and Brown will be gone. And Lizotte, Wagner and Luff too. That's 5 openings. Hope AA signs for 2 years, but he can be gone too.
