GDT: 2021-22 season game 54 LA Kings vs Boston Bruins @7:30pm 2/28/22

I can't even say the Bruins have been impressive, Kings have been shooting themselves in the foot all night

No, Bruins have been very impressive

 

[kinghock]

yeah so I’m not really of that mind that the Kings are losing to the better team. They’re just being stupid.

Let’s be fair, Kings are losing to the better team.

 

[kinghock]

Me thinks Quick needs a break.

I think Kings needs goalie upgrade ASAP

 

[kinghock]

Only the Kings could lose 7-0 and still outshoot the other team.. freaky

Maybe it is because very good goalie make difference?

 

[Kings man 4 life]

This one was my fault I actually tried watching the game, was 2-0 when I left. I won't watch anymore till, and if playoffs.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Meh.....Kings needed this, every team, on a hot run, gets punched in the mouth... the trick is to see how they respond in Dallas.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

We all need to get punched in the nose every so often to keep us grounded.

 

[Kudelski37]

The game was blacked out for me. The Kings record when I miss the game is very poor. Sorry. I won't let it happen again.

 

[BringTheReign]

First game I hadn’t watched in a while, lucky choice in this case I guess. No points given away within our conference at least.

Yep, if there was a game to lose in this stretch and give away points, it was this one.

The only drawback is suddenly a bunch of east coast experts who haven't been paying attention to the last 20 games suddenly have feelings on the Kings

To be fair, a lot of west coast experts who watched them all the time, had the same feelings, and were focused on the tree vs the forest lol,

Even back when everyone was questioning the black dark hockey existent of LA Kings hockey (identity) etc, questioning Kaliyev, Kupari etc, you could see they were doing the small things right....this team has all the makings of 2012 all over again....are they as talented, probably not, but they make up for that in work ethic (except for last night, no one was in that game, at all)

 

[Bandit]

Well that was an epic dickpunch. Hope they’re mad when we play again in a couple weeks.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

I left when it was 3-0...when I saw the final at 7-0 I thought a stinker on all fronts! Perhaps some changes need to be made. Maybe JAD,Andersson,Vilardi need to be inserted into the line up leaving Brown,Lemiuex and Lizotte to take a seat in the stands not that it was their fault but Jesus something has to be done...lets not panic

The Refs stunk it up too on at least 2 goals

Something HAS to be done..........lets not panic....

Figure that one out

 

[Fat Elvis]

Not gonna win em all and they haven't had too many like this one. Pretty confident having AA in the lineup wouldn't have changed the outcome. Glad no one got hurt.
Best to go on a roadie and reset.

Figure that one out

We should ask COL fans what was done after the Avalanche got thumped by the Bruins just last week, 5-1. They've been unbeaten since, so I'm sure they made some serious wholesale changes.

You'll be waiting for a while.

Apparently the game was blacked out for the players too

 

[Dykstra]

Very difficult game against one of the top teams from the east, also the third game in 4 days.

Kings 7x1 Bruins

Almost there

As well as what Calgary has done to address their division lead after losing to the Canucks 7-1

 

[Kudelski37]

Not true. Brown scores 1 on 3 when he blacks out.

 

[LAKings88]

Game got away early. Quick never seemed himself really. Refs were not great. Just one of those games. Lucky for those million Bruin fans at the game.

 

[Herby]

I fell asleep during the 1st intermission, I figured they were going to lose with how awful they looked in the 1st but a bit shocked when I woke up to see Boston got a TD and an XP. But this may be what the Kings needed, they weren't going to just win every time they showed up at the rink. That first game in Phoenix for example they looked awful and probably would have lost to any other team in the league. This is a good humbling experience to show they still have to outwork everybody if they want to win.

I'm still a bit worried going forward about the goal-scoring, it's not realistic to expect the 2nd line to keep up the pace they have for the previous dozen or so games and as great as Kempe has been a 40 goal pace may not be sustainable either. I was hoping for more immediate dividends from QB but at this point I think next season is where he takes the jump to a more consistent offensive producer.
