GDT: 2021-22 season game 42 LA Kings vs New Jersey Devils @4:00pm 1/23/22

[cyclones22]

Who can we fire during the intermission?

 

[Bandit]

Our special teams are less Rain Man and more Simple Jack.

And lmao double Kopitar and sit Byfield. Pathetic.

Byfield 2:06 TOI
Absolutely SICKENING

“I don’t want to put pressure on byfield”

has him in the lineup , doesn’t play him.

great for his confidence. Todd is a f***ing dimwit

Got start firing with TM and then clean house.

 

[tny760]

You're joking right?

that's the 2nd goal in a handful of starts where he's been scored on in a wide open goal completely unable to react to the seam pass

it's absolutely not OK that the pass made it through but he
got caught guessing too and that gives me legitimate concern

 

[HookKing]

Those 17 games secured him a job

So the Kings should never hire anyone that ever played for the Kings or knows Luc. Otherwise, its nepotism. Got it.

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

Yeah I think I'm done for the year. This teams identity is set in stone, and they're STREAKY. This team needs better leadership to succeed on a consistent basis. Todd F***stick isn't a leader. He's a yapper.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

I thought the same thing until they show the overhead angle. That was all Kopitar for losing his man.

He didn't have a man. That is the way the Kings have defended the PK all year. YoYo back and forth.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Byfield got a nice view of that first period from the bench, what do we need to do to get him off this Grundstrum/Brown anchor?

 

[Sol]

Kopi has been unusually bad defensively this year

kopitars coverage this year has been so bad.

what’s mind blowing to me also is how the PK is structured. I have no idea why we have one man high and three guys deep in the middle and near the face off dots is completely uncontested giving the opposition a world of time to find a hole. No idea why rhe PK is structured this way.

It isn't guessing to play the shooter -- its textbook and doing anything else will end your career pretty quickly. Fox got it right -- that was all on Iafallo and Kopitar.

 

[Little Psycho]

So much pressure on Byfield...from the bench.

 

[Sol]

So the Kings should never hire anyone that ever played for the Kings or knows Luc. Otherwise, its nepotism. Got it.

when it is the only thing most of the management have In common then they should consider not making that a pivotal requirement. Try to think more critically my man.

I watched Todd bench him that last min he got on and came right off ridiculous

 

[AbsentMojo]

unless byfield has some physical issue - no excuse not use him more.. he has game breaking ability - a weapon.. no reason to sit him no matter what imagined mistake he may have made

 

[killermiller]

Calling it now, Byfield scores 2 tonight.

I'd like to retract my statement on the basis on me forgetting that Brown was on his line and TM is our coach. Forgive me.

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

Fun fact: Byfield has already played in more NHL games than Todd F***stick ever did. So yeah.

I noticed that too - during the Ranger game Panarin had all sorts of room to just walk in from the point and make things happen.. thought it was a coverage issue but no, its a 'scheme'

 

[Little Psycho]

Fire TM.

 

[cyclones22]

So much pressure on Byfield...from the bench.

Unfortunately that pressure is going to give him hemorrhoids.

thats actually the design of the PK. One man high two below close by. Triangle formation. It gives the opposition so much time to thread passes even though the kings are “clogging” the middle. The amount of passes that has went east to west through the slot this year on the PK is insane. The pk formation is terrible

 

[kinghock]

I'm tired of Grundy's penalties.

and his low IQ...

 

[unicornpig]

keep him in ontario if thats the ice time hes gonna get.....

 

[King'sPawn]

So much pressure on Byfield...from the bench.

If they play him more then he'll be emotionally scarred if he's not able to score. Or something.

 

[Sol]

If they play him more then he'll be emotionally scarred if he's not able to score. Or something.

Todd logic. “He can’t get scarred If I don’t give him icetime “
