GDT: 2021-22 season game 24 LA Kings vs Vancouver Canucks @7:00pm 12/6/21

It's super easy to criticize the "fans" for caring when you never present any of your own suggestions or ideas.

*cough*

1) Send down Tynan and play JAD instead
2) Kick Tmac in the balls
3) Have Kupari play with a grim reaper scythe instead of a stick
4) Get Rob Blake a personalized lawn gnome for Christmas

Right, I'm not going to be lectured by other armchair GMs that my armchair GMing makes me a bad fan just because they happen to be connected, and especially when they don't have an original thought in their heads. It's all 'easy' when you don't put yourself out there at all.

Congrats, you're a mouthpiece and you don't want to damage your access...that's fine. Don't attempt to drag me for caring. What a piece of shit.

Every single one of those line items is worth of discussion given this franchise's trajectory, pretending it's a knee-jerk reaction to one game is ignorant.

certainly not gonna be lectured about it when it comes with that smug attitude too

it's such a shit take, like.. is this acceptable performance to bernstein? if the team was playoff-bound, even barely, maybe i'd listen to a tweet like that. like, i'm sorry but this is not fine.

And when the sentiments are repeated throughout the season? It's not knee-jerk because it's 2-0 Vancouver after 2 periods. It's symptomatic.

True but at this stage in his career I don't think it's smart to start Quick on a B2B regardless. Cal will have to get games somewhere, but I'd sure like to see more of a 60/40.




These guys were entertaining before the started the smug "we're insiders" act, as if being concerned about a team who is trending down for 3 straight years in a rebuild is just being a 'bad fan.'

Yeah, I forgot about the back to back. But aside from that, a 60/40 split would be ideal. Cal just hasn't got it and has lost the job.

Denis has replaced Helene , Helen, Helan, or whatever as the condescending, smug, snarky LA reporter. At least he stopped with the "Dear Rob Blake... " before every tweet.

The Arviddson trade may have inadvertently cost us the opportunity at Wallstedt. The Oilers did not want to drop too far off of their pick and the next Kings pick at the time was 49, because they had traded number 40 for Arvvy. That may have still been too far for the Oilers to move down, but it is a possibility that the Arvvy trade cost us a chance at Wallstedt.

With our luck, we'd finish last and pick 2nd again, when some team jumps us 7 spot or whatever. Like a 200/1 shot at winning the lotto.

 

[kingsfan28]

very lackluster. Kuapri should watch a game or two..or play in the AHL for a bit

I'll drive him to the bus stop and tell him not to bother to get a seasonal pass.

sure sounds like another Chicago lotto win to me.

 

[kingsfan28]

Now imagine if a Kings coach had the confidence to say things like this and follow through with his words.

That's like saying you're gonna win game 7. If it works, you're a hero, if not ...

Bernstein is such a f***ing tool. He'll continue to jerk off Blake and Luc because he so desperately wants to be invited to their birthday parties.

Rewarding Tynan makes no sense. He's a rookie to our organization. If we are going to reward a vet, why not someone who has been in Ontario for ages? Get Sutter up here instead.

But we shouldn't be rewarding anyone right now because this team sucks ass. If we're gonna suck this bad, we should at least give our rookies opportunities for growth. Tell me more about how they've played poorly, I don't f***ing care. You know who else has played poorly? All of the vets!

Here's what I'd like to see:

Kempe - Kopitar - Kaliyev
Iafallo - Danault - Vilardi
Andersson - Byfield - Arvidsson
Lemieux - JAD - Moore

Bjornfot - Doughty
Anderson - Roy
Edler - Durzi

Quick
Perersen

Top three lines should get roughly equal time.

Tynan was sent down!!!

Did you just quote yourself?

In DB's defense -- he's always been very vocal about 'PLAYING THE KIDS.'

That's true. I still think he was "lazy" for lack of a better term, in providing that quote though.

It was just more of a broad stroke instead of being pointed. And frankly, last year was too early to bang that drum.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

In DB's defense -- he's always been very vocal about 'PLAYING THE KIDS.'

That's fine, I'm not saying he's exempt from good takes and even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

But if your go-to move for a team sucking itself out of the building while sustaining a pattern of failure is to smugly question fans' fandoms to appear superior and appease the masters I'm gonna call it

Not bad, but i'd like to see Frk in there as well. He's been killing it this year and I think he should be playing with Vilardi. I like the idea of benching Moore in favor of Lizotte, Lemieux and JAD.

 

[kingsfan28]

There is no NHL future for Tynan. Its a wasted opportunity for a kid to get NHL minutes AND it defeats the purpose of signing him, which is to provide an offensive focal point for the AHL squad while those kids develop.

Good for TJ that he gets a taste of the NHL again, but lets be honest, anyone watching can see that he is too slow and small for the big league.

the reason, as was pointed out by Fox i think, was he's been the best player in Ontario, and earned his call up. Didn't do much, so no big deal. I rather have seen JAD. Tkachev on the other hand, has not and from what I've seen, floats a lot, and tends not to get engaged in plays. But hey, pp right?

 

[kingsfan28]

Exactly

While we are it, we should call up Brett Sutter, Adam Johnson, and Gaunce



But seriously, I think we are close to pitchforks, torches, and a lovely table with side chairs, an elegant grandfather clock and an electric fireplace!

"What's the brand name of the clock Bob?"

Or at least hire one that won't have to be "FIRST" when a trade he hears about goes down and nearly blows the entire deal. Mr.Rumplesuit nearly screwed up the Williams deal and cost us an extra pick by jumping the gun.
