GDT: 2021-22 season game 41 LA Kings vs Colorado Avalanche @6:30pm 1/20/22

[kingsboy11]

Right when I thought this team was getting its shit together we go and lose 3 f***ing games in row giving up 16 f***ing goals in that span. I knew it wasn't smart to bet on these bunch of frauds

 

[SmytheKing]

Down 2-1 going into the third period. Man advantage for nearly half of the period (3 power plays and pulled the goalie with three minutes left). Six shots on goal in the whole period. Give up two more goals.

What we saw tonight was contenders vs pretenders.

 

[AbsentMojo]

11 + 23 + 8 = -1

I had a dream they all got waived and ended on a line in Ontario - w DD at right wing

 

[ru4reals]

Only good thing about this game is Byfield and it started early. Other then that pretty much nothing to smile about.

 

[bmr]

We are good. Just not Tampa Bay or Colorado good.

I think Ferraro made a good point during the telecast. Teams on the upswing gotta take their lumps and work their way through it. I mean look how Edmonton must feel right now. We are like Colorado from 2-3 years ago.

Instead of statues outside the arena the Kings should honor Kopitar and Doughty by lowering each guys to the half wall and the blueline before every Kings PP.

I agree however the Kings didn’t lose because Colorado was playing good. The Kings were playing horrendously and the avs capitalized on the few chances they had

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

Are we buyers or sellers at the trade deadline? With our wealth of prospects, I think we can be both. Should be interesting.

Bold statement….everybody knows the Kings were Stanley Cup contenders this year.

Agreed. I think some of the lump could and should be avoided. There are some things working - like the 5 on 5 system.. and some things that are clearly broken - both special teams. That can be corrected - it takes a little bit of guts to change things up.. demote some vets off the PP and create a spark. You saw a 7 game streak after DD went down. Its addition by subtraction hungry guys vs guys that cant find their desire to win

Lightning and Avs are probably the two best teams in the league talent-wise. I’m not too worried about those losses, but we better rebound in NJ.

Five goal night upcoming for Jack Hughes.

 

[tny760]

can't believe these fresh and definitely not tired at all players couldn't get it done in crunch time

like they haven't gotten it done on the 4 previous power plays, exactly what the f*** makes you think they're gonna do it now on the backend of a 2 and a half minute shift tmac?

Buy from phoenix and dump what you can to create lineup space for the young players that are producing.

 

[kinghock]

Long way to go still.

Nonoffensive team lives and dies by its goalies.

Quick and Peterson aren’t gonna steal every game.

Looks like Quick and Peterson aren’t going to steal any games anymore.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Five goal night upcoming for Jack Hughes.

I’m gonna go with a five goal night for Byfield. Kid looked great tonight, we are gonna be some lucky fans when he breaks through.

 

[kinghock]

This would be my lineup too with maybe Kupari and AA as the extras to spill Lizotte and Moore

Kempe - Kopitar - Kaliyev
Turcotte - Byfield - Vilardi
Iafallo - Danault - Kupari
Lemieux - Lizotte - Madden

 

[Crownroyal21]

I missed the first two periods because of work. How did Byfield and Fagemo look?

 

[AbsentMojo]

Lemieux - Lizotte - Madden

Vilardi must be pissed he's down on the Farm while QB is like a jet taking off.. i hope it motivates him to get back into the lineup we can use his skill

Byfield was fantastic, Fagemo was meh.

byfield is somethin special, he just does some things that blow me away. didn't break through but had a great game imo

fagemo can't seem to get his shot away but i think that's a recurring theme with kopitar's wingers not named kempe. pretty invisible for the most part though i'm not sure i fault him
