GDT: 2020-21 season game 37 LA Kings vs Arizona Coyotes @7:00pm 4/5/21

Looks like someone is in Todds doghouse. You'd think in this kind of game he'd play him more and try and get him going.

MacD and Anderson were benched too.

I think he's done that and it clearly hasn't worked.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

We're officially at the point where I hope we go on an Andy Murray esque crash and burn run

 

[Jericho111091]

I can't even be too mad about the incompetent officials when the whole damn Kings team is incompetent

 

[Mats26]

Clague was alright tonight. Not afraid of rushing into the O zone and making a play to the net for the AA goal.
Pretty solid in his own end. See some hope with him.

Kings have scored 2 goals or less in 9 of the last 12 games.

 

[Docgonzo]

In the last month
Carter 1g 2a
Kempe 7g 0a
Vilardi 0g 5a
Moore 3g 4a
Grundstrom 1g 1a
Iaffalo 4g 6a
Brown 3g 1a
Kopitar 4g 10a
AA 3g 2a
Wagner 0g 1a
Lizotte 0g 2a
JAD 1g 2a

Absolutely zero scoring depth.

We'll probably win one or two games with 8 or 9 goals scored/game and lose the rest.

 

[johnjm22]

The tank is on.

Bunting on the offiside call, that's a pretty heads up play by him, if he meant to do it lol.

- Drew Doughty, April ‘21

The tank is on.

Same craptastic bottom dwellers as usual.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I wish more Kings shared the same attitude as Doughty.

 

[LAKings88]

I wish more Kings shared the same attitude as Doughty.

Surprised he doesn’t ask for a trade.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Can say one thing about Drew, his mouth matches his emotion, can't question his effort tonight.

 

[Peter James Bond III]

Next game; bring in Lemieux, Frk and Andersson.
Scratch: Carter, Wagner and Lizotte. Possibly Kempe or Gabe, instead of latter 2.

Grundstrom at least hit hard and went to the net and almost got rewarded. He's not been stellar,
but he does not get much ice or consistent linemates.

I would try to get Kempe back to where he was, when he had 5 goals on Gibson in 2 games;
try all Swedes: Kempe, Andersson, Grundstrom. Why not?

Bunting on the offiside call, that's a pretty heads up play by him, if he meant to do it lol.

It's still bullshit. He handled the puck before he entered the zone, that's a player taking possession. They blow that dead all the time on changes.

The game was lost far before that but was just the icing on the cake for a bad call to lead to a goal against to lead to a blown review on a bad call and another PK lol

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm watching just for this at this point.

 

[AzKing]

Carter is just stealing money from the Kings.

 

[Mats26]

Like I said a few posts ago, the repetitive mistakes are worrisome. The slow starts, the lack of urgency, no drive etc..
There is only so much a coach can do and we went through 4 now with this same Vet group since the cup.

I honestly think it is time for a leadership change on this team. Bring in a few new vets with a new voice to mentor the young prospects.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Todd spitting some truth.

 

[kingsfan28]

1-6 the last two weeks.

 

[KingLB]

Can say one thing about Drew, his mouth matches his emotion, can't question his effort tonight.

Wish I could play Doughty at poker! You always know how he is feeling!

 

[Schmooley]

Thought Clague had a good game. I hope they encourage him to keep that rover mentality instead of turning him into a more conservative defenseman like his last call up.
