GDT: 2021-22 season game 51 LA Kings vs Arizona Coyotes @7:00pm 2/23/22

[Raccoon Jesus]

Durzi may have underestimated how long 8 seconds was when he went to eat that puck on the boards

WHY THE f*** IS PLAY STILL GOING HELP

 

[HookKing]

At this point I wouldn't mind trying Kupari, AA and JAD.

 

[kilowatt]

OK lets play a game.. assume the team is a pure meritocracy, what are the lines, what are the D pairs - you can call up and waive whoever you want

Purely based on merit? That's pretty tough.

Kempe - Danault - Arvidsson
Moore - Kopitar - Vilardi
Iafallo - Lizotte - Kaliyev
Lemieux - JAD/Byfield - Grundstrom

Durzi - Doughty
Anderson - Roy
Bjornfot - Spence

Quick
Petersen

 

[kilowatt]

Perhaps it’s time to not give our future #1 center the shittiest two wingers on the team? They should be trying to build his confidence, not kill it.

I agree. And if Todd's going to f***ing stick with AA and Brown for the rest of the year, I'd rather have Byfield in Ontario.

 

[deaderhead28]

Be nice to see another outdoor game in person.The one in Colorado was a blast.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yeah if they're not going to give him better deployment or PP time he's just rotting and learning bad habits from these other two idiots. Reminds me of Martinez/Muzzin together, the skill is fine, just toxic together. Add maatta and like what the f*** do you expect to happen

I like it. Spence and JAD have been playing well.. and Maata and Brown addition by subtraction.. Id like to try Byfield with with Kaliyev - and actually Iafallo may be a good match since he is the adult in the room on D. And 4th line 48, 46 and JAD (he can play wing)..Edit: and Byfield - i give him a pass on merit because he has the potential to have impact and may shine given different linemates.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

AA and / or Brown must sit next game. Get Grundstrom in there. TM would not scratch Brown, so scratch AA. He has looked godawful.
I also say instead of getting Chychrun, would rather make a deal for a forward that can make a difference.

I don't know that those are the lines that I'd try, I was just trying to rank each player based on their performance this year.

 

[Reclamation Project]

QB doesn't look good when carrying two boat anchors on his wings, I'm shocked.

Filip Forsberg, come on down! Let's get Soucy while we're at it.

Kempe - Kopitar - Forsberg
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson
Iafallo - Byfield - Kaliyev
Lemieux - Lizotte - Grundstrom
Brown, AA

Anderson - Doughty
Bjornfot - Roy
Soucy - Durzi

Petersen

I mainly wanted to think about where guys would be were it not for their legacy factoring in - so Brown, DD, Kopi etc.. where should they land on the line combos and pairings. I like what you did with them.

 

[Schmooley]

Most of us called this moment before byfield was called up because we watched it happen to turcotte and vilardi this season. Surrounding these guys with talent for the future should be a top priority not afterthough.

Yup, don't know how many prospects it has to happen to, but here we are.

todd is not a good coach at all

 

[tny760]

yeah look at the stick

lmao

 

[unicornpig]

I love you Danault but you needed to shoot that

 

[unicornpig]

How do you miss that arvy

 

[tny760]

How do you miss that arvy

think that bounced off stralman's stick

unreal

 

[kilowatt]

Maybe we just shouldn't give Turcotte, Byfield, and Vilardi any support by playing them together.

Iafallo - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Danault - Arvidsson
Turcotte - Byfield - Vilardi
Lemieux - Lizotte - Kaliyev

 

[AbsentMojo]

Did u see the look DD gave Maata after that bad pass up the boards

 

[head eyes]

Big brain play to waste the last 30 seconds of that power play

 

[Schmooley]

Whats with Kopitar tonight????

 

[Schmooley]

todd is not a good coach at all

He is good in some ways and bad in others. He has them starting games well and playing good structure. But his game management is and has always been his downfall.

 

[kilowatt]

My stream froze and has been spotty all night — I see Danault out there with Brown and Athanasiou, did Byfield get skipped or just a weird change?
