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

[Live in the Now]

It's really frustrating that when things are going badly, the Kings can't really manufacture intensity by taking the body. Team isn't big enough, so they have to play their way back into the game and that's where you get those Arvidsson slap shots that have no chance of going in.

JMFJ is still playing? On the Avalanche now?

 

[HookKing]

Kuemper used to be on the Kings right? And they traded him to Arizona for basically nothing?

Kings have made it a tradition to give goalies away for nothing. Bishop, Campbell etc.

 

[Bandit]

Gotta admit at least we're seeing the the prized prospects play. I'd be more pissed if Wagner, Luff and Amadio was lumbering around in the 2nd unit powerplay. Just glad to see youth at least.

At least the bar is low.

If we had a barely mediocre special teams we'd be one of the best teams in the league

 

[johnjm22]

How bad can you collectively be on special teams?

Kings are 25th and 29th on the PP and PK. Plus they've given up 5 short handed goals.

He’ll play till he’s 45 to make up for keeping $0 from his first 3 contracts.

would you believe he's actually a + player now too?

 

[Sol]

I don’t care if we’re second in the division it’s ass. The kings are such a shitty team oml

 

[AbsentMojo]

Id like PP1: Byfield, Kempe, Kaliyev, Iafalo and Durzi

This really is the truth. Even with Kopitar and Doughty being Jurassic sizes dipshits 5 on 5 too. It’s just unacceptable.

 

[shuchukfan]

I'm tired of guys having the puck in the slot and passing it back to the point instead of taking a shot.

kopitar and doughty it is

kopitar and doughty are the two dumb f***s in the NHL that like to slow the play down on the powerplay rather than expose the disadvantage by quicker play.

 

[AbsentMojo]

kopitar and doughty it is

One can dream right? it wont happen for another year at least im sure.. Need new ideas on special teams - i would hope Blake feels like doing something about it

 

[ru4reals]

LOL watching that replay looks like Doughty's just staring at that puck as it goes by.

Pathetic special teams are pathetic. That’s been one constant thing with this club, and coincidentally it’s the same group being sent out there time after time.

 

[bland]

Does Koala have hire/fire call on Sturm? or is that Blake who makes ultimate call

They call a council meeting of the elders after volleyball practice and before the mani/pedis.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Oh what a drive to the net by QB!

 

[theMajor]

what a move!

 

[LAKings88]

QB almost pulled a Kopi

 

[DoktorJeep]

So close QB!

 

[lumbergh]

Wow reminded me of Kopi’s first goal.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

That was almost a mirror image of Kopitar's first goal.

 

[Telos]

Shades of Kopitar's first goal there from Byfield.

 

[onlyalad]

A deek
A dive
And shoot it wide
