GDT: 2021-22 season game 6 LA Kings vs St. Louis Blues @5:00pm 10/25/21

[Cook24]

Remember when we at least played physical and lost. Now we just lose.

Tarasenko would have 1 point and -3 if he was on this Kings team

f***ing truth.

 

[Docgonzo]

Kempe does need to go, he’s dumb as rocks, not physical anymore, can’t score unless he’s fed PP time.

Kempe was almost pest like for a season, fighting getting under the skin of players. Then he got fed PP time and now he thinks he’s Kovy or something.

 

[ru4reals]

Man if only Tarasenko was on the block….

We had a chance but chose good old Forbort.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Another game where we played with zero emotion.

Our team would be better bringing back Justin Williams and Jarome Iginla out of retirement. At least they played with heart.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

When was the last time the Kings played .500 hockey for more than a week? Years?

 

[Cook24]

Kempe does need to go, he’s dumb as rocks, not physical anymore, can’t score unless he’s fed PP time.

Been saying we should’ve dealt him a year or so ago. He has little value now…

 

[KingPuckChoo]

f***ing truth.

do you believe that ONE good player added to a roster can change the lineups and thus balance out, for example 3 lines

or that's more of a myth ?

honest question

The 2011 Kings... Fun to watch when losing even

 

[johnjm22]

I wonder if we're the worst team in the league.

 

[KingsHockey24]

So what you're saying is he'd have more points than half our roster.

Can't deal him now he has no value

 

[kingsholygrail]

Well, least they had practice for playing in an empty building. lol

 

[KingsHockey24]

Richards, Brown, Nolan, Clifford, Williams, Stoll, Fraser, Lewis, Westgarth, Richardson, that team was full of those hard working energy guys.

 

[Reaper45]

Not for nothing! We got to keep Scott Neidermaatta, who will undoubtedly be a roster fixture for the rest of the year

Cool. Cool cool. Cooool.

 

[The Butcher]

It just doesn't feel like the team is trending in a good direction. Under Lombardi it felt like we had those handful of god awful years with Crow and Dan Cloutier and once Terry Murray was hired the team still had problems but the were learning and acquiring players to play a specific heavy and defensive style. To this day I'm still trying to figure out why Brownie was stripped of the C and Deano wasn't given a proper chance to turn things around. Hoping to be wrong but it's starting to feel like one of the worst moves this franchise has ever made.

This team... I just can't put my finger on it but so far this year I'm having a hard time seeing progression from any of the pervious 5 seasons. I've said it before, I'm still very skeptical of Blake's abilities. I like Todd McClellan but I'm feeling more and more like he is a poor fit for what we are trying to do. He has never established himself as a coach that develops young players and it doesn't seem like any of them are thriving under his tenure.

Idk, I'm usually pretty optimistic but I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel lately.

 

[damacles1156]

Close to it.

People had to know that this many young guys in the roster was going to be rough. Not every draft prospect is the next star. Heck most draft picks would love to just touch NHL ice. When you promote players premature it makes it worse.

 

[bland]

We only lost by 3 today. Progress?

Actually, yeah, based on yet another cave in the game before I will gladly take a game like this where the Vilardi's and Kaliyev's give a good accounting of themselves and don't get buried by double and triple shifting of the loaded top line.

Sure, Anderson had a couple of poor plays and yes, Kupari looks to be a half-trick pony, but these guys have to go through this to get better. This team isn't going anywhere soon so get the bad learning moments out of the way. They just can't start shoe gazing and let 3 become 6 without any kind of response. Those aren't teachable, they are demoralizing.

Everybody here deserves to be here, nobody is playing prematurely.

Brown was stripped of the C because he and Sutter didn't get along
Lombardi was let go because he was one of if not the worst GM in the league post 2014

 

[Bandit]

Is Stoll drunk? Lmao

Richards, Brown, Nolan, Clifford, Williams, Stoll, Fraser, Lewis, Westgarth, Richardson, that team was full of those hard working energy guys.

Don't forget Willie Mitchell... OH so good

 

[KingPuckChoo]

We should, technically, be able to win our season series vs Arizona...

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Postgame show is awkward, trying so hard to find some positives. They got to be fed up as well watching garbage for years.

honest question

I was just commenting that any player that comes to the Kings you can expect a 66% drop in offensive production is all.
