GDT: 2020-21 season game 42 LA Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights @7:00pm 4/14/21

Yes, MacDermid is perfectly fine. No support from the forwards against the counter pinch.

I don't agree.
Bad read by McDermid to pinch there. Super bad read.
Yeah, Brown could have read it better, but that's on McD

 

[EXTRAS]

At the rate moore is scoring I'm a little concerned he's gonna want a 2.5-3m dollar contract...

Vilardi hasn't played a full season in forever - since he was 16. It's gonna take him time.

He hit a wall at 20 games, that's concerning

 

[onlyalad]

Thank you Kings for not giving me the stress that worrying about making the playoffs or not might cause. Now just have to worry if they can pass the Ducks

 

[KingsFan7824]

I bet someone would take Doughty.

Somewhere he'd like to go? Would you expect something of real value coming back? Because he's already 31. You're not getting a top 20 year old for a 31 year old. Not knowingly. SJ didn't give up the 3d pick for Karlsson.

 

[Bandit]

Well at least we don’t see them until next year.

 

[tny760]

I wouldn't be able to put up with it. It's definitely the clock. As soon as we hit a minute and it went to tenths of a second it sped up.

It's f***ing awful man. I feel weird getting that irritated about something that minor but it literally is stressful just to listen to.

yep. glad someone else noticed, it's f***in infuriating to me

Hate to say it, but the team officially quit on the season tonight. Body language since goal 4 said it all.

100%

they've quit before but they've never quit this hard

 

[crassbonanza]

Yeah, they've kissed Vegas' ass pretty hard.

Haha, I saw your reply and was expecting a different comment. As a sidebar, the Vegas announcers are pretty good, I've like Millard back to his hockey central at noon days.

I'm more worried about Kopitar simping around and playing like a lifeless bitch rather than Vilardi. If Vilardi had a bigger role on this team then I'd worry imo.

Blake essentially gifted Vilardi the 2C role at the beginning of the year after 10 NHL games. Blake had all summer to find a veteran 2C. He needs to revamp the entire 2nd line this offseason. His lack of GM experience is really starting to show.

 

[jfont]

Let's be real. Kings are just not good enough this year.

Need to have a couple of real good defenders back there and a couple of elite forwards up front.

Kopitar, 0 pts, -2, 1 SOG, 19:10 toi

Lizotte, 0 pts, -1, 0 SOG, 17:39 toi, 43% FO

Lizotte is going to quickly become the new Amadio. A tweener that has absolutely no business get the minutes he's getting. Another TMc head scratcher

Who do you think they should've gotten?

 

[KingsFan7824]

Winnipeg

You think Doughty wants to go to Winnipeg?

Anywhere is better than LA. There are 20 teams in the league that are at least playoff contenders.

 

[ru4reals]

Just want to say I feel for all of us Kings fans. We've lived to see our golden age of Kings hockey for a good three maybe four years and now looks like we're back to the dark ages of the 90's yikes.

 

[kingsfan28]

One glaring thing again that popped up again was the lack of experience on the blueline. They really need a quality guy back there that won't make bonehead plays, that continuously cost them goals.

 

[tomd]

Who do you think they should've gotten?

Wrong question...the right question is why he couldn't get it done. This team will never win a playoff series (or even make the playoffs) with Blake in charge. A year from now you'll be agreeing with me.

 

[KingsFan7824]

There are 20 teams that can afford the cap hit?

 

[kingsfan28]

Except he didn't give up any bad goals like Quick who gave up 2.

goal 5 I think was a pretty big whiff.

Get what done? You didn't give a name. You don't even know who he should've gotten. What veteran 2C changed teams? Are we talking a legit veteran 2C, or just a guy?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings have 3 wins in their last 12 games.

Yeah, those off the stick deflections are easy.
