Zegras woulda scored there.

I keep thinking Faust is saying Homelander.

Todd just going to roll 2 lines all night?

ehhh i'm not picking this game so far to complain about lines, i think he rolled 4 there but skipped 3 and 4 once each

danault's lines tend to take pretty long shifts

 

[ru4reals]

Looks all to familiar. Control play for the first period then sh*t the bed the rest of the way. Just stoked we at least get to see some young blood in the lineup for a change.

 

[onlyalad]

Game is going to end zero to negative 1

 

[tny760]

what a bizarre place for the puck to stick

 

[tny760]

"no relation to alex"
"he wouldn't admit it if it was"

alright foxy that was a good one

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Props where they're due since I rip on him so much--whatever happened between the other night and tonight, TM has the team much more prepared to play. Night and day in terms of both crispness and engagement.

 

[Bandit]

Seems like someone told Kopitar his dick will fall off if he ever shoots the puck again.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Pettersson used to look so lethal every time he touched the puck...pretty much indistinguishable from all the other top-sixers lately.

I probably shouldn't say that, inc hat trick

 

[lumbergh]

Hey look at this, an almost all rookie line with Turcotte Kupari and Grundstrom.

 

[Gjwrams]

Game be damned. We’ve bills to pay. Roll the ads.

 

[tny760]

hahahahah doughty laughing at that guy biffing it into the boards on the icing

what a f***ing asshole

 

[lumbergh]

Toby just ate Hoglander alive

This post makes me hungry for a good pork chop.

Was thinking the same thing. I’m sure we’ll regret it.

 

[ru4reals]

Looks like Todd is skipping the Turcotte line a bit, or is it just me.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Played pretty well, but man, 5 shots sure isn't going to cut it

 

[Bandit]

“Real good first period”

Good enough to be tied 0-0. Blow me.

he got sent back to Ontario mid game.

turcotte's twice and lizotte's once looks like

riding kopi to 7:30 already? nah couldn't be tmac

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yep, the Turcotte line has literally half the icetime of the Kopitar line

Since a few people are being super obnoxious about it across not one, not two, but THREE threads, might want to look at the above as well as the fact that between LA and Ontario they're literally out of options of players to play such that Ontario is PTOing guys so yet again they're playing kids out of absolute necessity not because they're progressive and heady.

 

[KINGS17]

Delete, wrong thread.

Seriously as many have said thought Bringing in Danault was going to decrease Kopi's minutes but it seems to be increasing. Brutal.

 

[Bandit]

Are they really gonna show every goal the Kings have scored this year?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

IIRC

Scratched: Tkachev, Andersson
Protocol: Brown
Injury: AA
Mystery: Thomas (injury?) Madden (Covid?) Tynan (Covid?)
PTO: Pavlychev (yay!) and Pastujov (ducks brother)
Frk and JAD and Byfield back to Ontario

Ontario STILL played a forward short last night

So before we start making facetious comments about Tm playing a kid line like it's some kind of gotcha, realize he was quite literally out of options aside from playing Tkachev (LOL) or bringing back Frk.
