GDT: 2020-21 season LA Kings vs Colorado Avalanche @7:00pm 1/19/21

Carter has legitimately been our only good player this year. A few guys have looked good relative to our expectations, but Carter actually looks like a dangerous player.

i swear the game turns half speed once our top line hits the ice

gets on brown's stick in the neutral zone and it's like "ok this play is dead"

Maata is making me nostalgic for Forbort

 

[killermiller]

I'm starting to think Maatta is worse than Ben Hutton

Yeah I noticed that too. It's like those guys are at the end of every shift lol.

Blockbuster video?

EarthLink.

Lizzote made some real nice plays. People are getting carried away with the DD hate. A pass picked off along the boards near the blue line is hardly anything to get worked up about. Its called the safe area for a reason.

 

[The Butcher]

Ugly start but I thought they did okay the rest of the way.

I don't understand the point of dogging players like Amadio, Wagner etc when we have an 11 million dollar man having such a negative impact on the game.

This team is pretty much a whole two hour comedy show. Funny as hell!!!

You might be right....

But 11 million...

Colorado was all over them. They weathered the storm. Starting to settle in. They are f***ing fast. Anderson-Tonka look good. Why is Moore in the team again?

First 3 minutes were rough but they hung in there.

That pass by Doughty wasn't (entirely) his fault; The forward should have been between Drew and the Avs d-man. Maybe he was thinking to get open for a long stretch pass but not with the puck that deep.

 

[DoktorJeep]

They escaped that period and played better. Similar to the first two games. So they’re due for 3 goals

Because the 10 & 11 dollar men aren’t going anywhere soon, so your hopes are somebody new comes in and takes over. Team needs new blood to step up and become a top 6 player.

You’re not wrong. Kopitar looks like he’s been sucking on the tailpipe of the number 11 bus.

Moore needs to be more physical. He makes me miss Clifford so much

Weird comparison. Moore is like 4’8” 110lbs soaking wet.

Right but the names i mentioned were never projected to be anywhere close to these guys.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Anyone think Doughty or Kopitar will be playing for the Kraken next season or are they protected?

He was advertised as Clifford light by leaf fans

No, it's not. But when it's game over game and year over year, and after all his shit talking about wanting to be on Team Canada, I had higher expectations than having to pardon him three games in a row.

There are different degrees of 'bad.' A lot of this team is just not good enough and thus are miscast. Some were great, and father time is just starting to extract his fees (Brown, Kopitar?). Few have all the god given talent in the world and for whatever reason--fitness, arrogance, effort--they're playing like my drunk ass on a Wednesday night. It's inexcusable and a complete waste of his talents, never mind the money (doesn't really matter) and the roster spot (i guess better he look like shit than ruin a kid).

Like I said every gets at least 5 games with me but Drew in particular is starting to piss me off because we're watching him piss away his legacy with stupidity.

Protected.

yeah moore was fleeing a bit there imo, part of it is a very talented player in nathan mackinnon jumping a play so i'm not too mad

i'm less than impressed by that pairing's play but i'm not sure we have better options

both will be protected

Really think Kempe should be playing with Andersson and Grundstrom but I can't fathom bumping Moore up the lineup to do so

Edit: Non related, just noticed I passed 100 posts recently, only took me almost 13 years to do so
