GDT: 2021-22 season game 43 LA Kings vs New York Rangers @4:00pm 1/24/22

[Little Psycho]

Quick's retiring?

Retires/traded/etc....when he's not on the team anymore. Never going to have a goalie like him again.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Still wasn't impressed with the Rangers. Couldn't crush us in the 3rd while on a b2b.

The NY Rangers were missing a few players

 

[Herby]

Not impressed at all with Laf, I know a lot of people here are extra patient with young players, but for a guy taken that high and nearing 100 NHL games he just doesn't look special at all (and he was a late birth year guy) too, almost a 2019. I see a lot of Raymond and I would take Raymond without hesitation.

Never is a long time...maybe Parik may be the next great LA 'tender he's big enough...Ranford has to handle him properly

They suck 5 on 5, put them against a team with a good penalty kill and then it'll be a different game.

Idk how Blake can continue to sit back and watch these coaches f*** up the team.

Because they're in a playoff spot, either in pts or pts%.

Lafreniere is playing behind some awesome LWingers...Panarin and Kreider so tough to get the ice time right now...give him time he'll be a Star

Derek Armstrong going for the battle of the bulge look tonight.

 

[tkb81]

what a game ... thats all

 

[Little Psycho]

He needs to focus on the game play not the stats. Special teams is already biting us in the ass, it's going to be magnified in the PO.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Carrlyn is talking about the wily veteran? She should entertain us with stories of Dad, battling Frank Bathe the goon! That would be fun

 

[kinghock]

Roy is unbelievably stupid in OT

not only in OT...

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

NY Rangers were missing Kakko,Chytil and Blais

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Derek Armstrong looks huge compared to Jarett Stoll

 

[Herby]

I'm not saying he sucks, but considering the hype coming in he just hasn't shown much to live up to it. I realize he is not in an ideal spot, but he just doesn't look the part of the elite offensive winger he was hyped up to be. Some guys just show through right away (Kopitar & Doughty for example) and he doesn't. Again I don't think he sucks but Stuetzle and Raymond have, atleast IMO passed the eye test way more if you are looking for star players of guys from his draft year.

I think another player a bit overhyped by the ultimate overhyping event in hockey, the WJC.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Stollie was great for the Kings! Best PK centre LA ever had though Kopi's been good there too

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Entertaining but absolutely infuriating, completely shit coaching, and same issues haunting us.

Lack of tying guys up in front or in the slot only looked better than before because Quick played out of his skull. Another 3rd period lead lost, no moxie.

Special teams surprisingly broke even tonight, PK mostly due to Quick.

Another L with Kopitar over 20 minutes...just like the last few. 21:19 while Byfield got 8:28. Quinton Byfield, who was 80% CF and scoring chances for--and 100% of the high-danger while he was on the ice--only got one shift a minute or so after the Ranger last goal.

I'm done. We might make the playoffs but it's smoke and mirrors on the last gasps of dying vets. If you can't trust the kids to play halfway through the season, what are they gonna learn watching the vets get their teeth kicked in from the bench in the first round that they're not learning watching it right now?

Just do everyone a f***ing favor and send Byfield, Turcotte, Kupari, Moverare back down so they can play and just roll Grundstrom AA Andersson through, who f***ing cares at this point.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Doughnuts and Coffee for Carrlyn she's probably spend 5 hours on the exercise bike after that I'm sure

 

[Herby]

Stollie was great for the Kings! Best PK centre LA ever had though Kopi's been good there too

I miss Stoll. He was actually a pretty good player for the Kings once they moved him out of the ridiculous 2nd line center spot he had no business being in.

The most entertaining shooter of the puck in LA Kings history, too!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Brown really is an anchor at even strength, and he's not any better on the PP either, yet he earned almost 15 minutes tonight. Unbelievable decision making behind the bench.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Stollie won a Memorial Cup in Canada with the Kootenay Ice in 2002 along with his 2 Stanley Cups! The only Cups Army got were his Protective Cups

No kidding...he's got to push himself away from the trough a lot earlier OMG

Those few games he was out with covid really showed that he wasn't missed at all

Thought Stollie was great! LA's PK was all Stollie and M Greene too
