GDT: 2020-21 season Game 7 LA Kings vs Minnesota Wild @5:00pm 1/26/21

[Ray Martyniuk]

Worst part of the new divisions--outside of not getting Doughty v. Tkachuk--is having to play this team eight times. It's really cruel to make it four times so early on.

I concur

It's weird seeing Kings players picking corners on goals for some reason.

 

[tny760]

entire game's worth of turnovers on one shift by kopitar and doughty

That was an extra long shift there, hemmed in their own zone.

No gas left in the tank.

 

[Little Psycho]

20 minute penalty

 

[MBH]

Peterson is making unreal saves

 

[tny760]

cal keeping this team afloat right now

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

1-0 going into the third

 

[kilowatt]

well moore a fly-by high sticking penalty isnt the path to more ice time

 

[kingsboy11]

Well we got out of that period without giving up a goal, but gotta shore it up. Sooner or later they'll break through. At least we aren't up 3-1, then I'd be terrified

 

[kingsholygrail]

1-0 going into the third

2-1 OT loss incoming.

 

[Sol]

These bastards are so boring.

 

[johnjm22]

So many times the Kings tried to exit their zone and just turned the puck over. They look dopey as hell.

 

[Dykstra]

Kempe is currently my favorite kings player so far in this season.

 

[Lt Dan]

2-1 OT loss incoming.

The Wild's forecheck had them rattled. And tired.

Yeah. The first giveaway by Doughty there is hard to stomach though.
Kopitar waited to go after a loose puck, thinking he could just get there first and use positioning to get it out. But he didn't count on a second guy getting involved.
There have been 2 major surprises from me watching the kings this year.
1) How many gaffes Doughty makes
2) How bad Kopitar can look at 5 on 5 sometimes.

 

[Little Psycho]

They really had to put the Wild in our division huh. Feels like we've been playing them forever.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Hope we're in for a Barn Burner of a third period with lots of goals and a Kings Win baby!
