GDT: 2020-21 season game 5 LA Kings vs St. Louis Blues @5:00pm 1/23/21

[MBH]

Kyrou dangerous tonight too

 

[BringTheReign]

Matty Roy has kind of been a shitshow with the puck tonight too

He does have a new partner. Clague has been okay, but he has some weird mannerisms, particularly with his bank passes. I don't think Roy is used to it.

 

[tny760]

yeah vilardi hooked to death on the doorstep, nothin

 

[tny760]

there was a little sequence there where 2-3 times whoever got the puck off the turnover in the D zone just scrambled up ice and it actually seemed more effective than a defenseman making a breakout pass

that was very unlike the kings

 

[MBH]

Thomas can turn on a dime to make room

 

[kingsboy11]

Blues just suffocating us. Just can't get any sort of sustained pressure

Kopitar is skating like his water bottle is full of Zima.

I feel like the Kings would be better off dumping and chasing and battling behind the Blues nets than doing what they're doing

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Grundstrom has been good on the forecheck, but really careless at his own blueline with the puck. Could see him sitting and Wagner drawing back in for tomorrows game.

 

[kilowatt]

what a sloppy, boring period. yuck

 

[MBH]

What the f***.
Mikey Anderson is brutal.
Gave the puck away with a bad pass.
Kings got lucky. Gives puck away again.
Kings ice it.
Anderson stuck out there and takes a penalty.

 

[kilowatt]

what the f***? where was the hold?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Oh look, the whistles DO work

Well he IS a rookie. And that penalty was horseshit

were giving a rookie top pairing minutes, that's what happens. hopefully he learns. i didnt see a hold though

 

[tny760]

back ref made that call

completely blind of the play, no way he saw anything

love these imaginary penalties

 

[kilowatt]

clague on the penalty kill, interesting

 

[kilowatt]

moore gets dragged down... nothing

ok

 

[tny760]

no penalty for dragging moore down though, interesting

 

[kilowatt]

brutal play by iafallo

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Terrible zone entrance by Brown and pass outta the D-zone

 

[kilowatt]

these weak backhand clears in our zone are killing us. thats some austin wagner shit

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Love that hookdown on the faceoff.

Nearly forgot what it was like to be a team that gets zero ref respect

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Sadly lots of them are on the forehand, too, lots of ugliness.

It killed on on the PK too, they can get a stick on the puck, but they can't get it out, either due to jitters or just stupid f***ing user error

 

[MBH]

Was Matta a healthy scratch?
