GDT: 2021-22 season game 60 LA Kings vs San Jose Sharks @6:30pm 3/12/22

[kinghock]

Kopitar gets beat by Bonino and Nieto on the same PP.

Kopitar is getting older by every minute

Roy has very low IQ.

Durzi is back to earth.

Iaffalo is very mediocre now.

 

[Docgonzo]

Rough period for the kids on the backend.

 

[KingsFan7824]

A lot going wrong real quick lately. The curse of a win on a Sunday afternoon in Buffalo I guess. Could easily become a 5, 6, 7 game losing streak unless they figure something out.

 

[apocalypse]

TMac needs to give 20+ TOI to Byfield tonight. Forget the result of the game.

 

[DAkings20]

That period may be worse than the new layout

 

[AbsentMojo]

Whats more f-d up the Kings or the website? That needs be a poll

 

[Herby]

Any reason other than “he’s solid defensively” or “his possession metrics are really good” as to why Iafallo is playing offensive roles?

13 points in 13 games to start the year. 17 in 45 since. And a fixture on scoring lines and PP1.

It’s not a slump when it’s over half a seasons worth of games.

 

[AbsentMojo]

The goal everyone blaming on Spence i feel is more on 40... block his view and gave him no room to make the play

He brings ZERO offense.

He's the teacher's pet on this team. Reminds me of Dwight King days

 

[ru4reals]

Todd is constantly getting rammed in the A** by Bob freakin Boughner.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Of course, ref helps break up the play in the slot

 

[Bandit]

Iafallo has pluses, but he would ideally be on the second line, not the first.

 

[ru4reals]

Goodness sakes every freakin pass and shot lately have been shanks left and right.

 

[apocalypse]

This has all the makings of a sh!t show.

What pluses? Hands of stone?

 

[AbsentMojo]

Keep spence up here.. Great offensive instincts

4 years, $16m. He's a vet by now, as well as 28 years old, and with this coach, and likely any coach, will be given every opportunity to play himself out of it.

 

[ru4reals]

Kings be lucky to have a goal this game. Shut out written all over it.

 

[Moses Doughty]

It's not even that I'm surprised by the score with a team missing 4 of its top 5 dmen (based on opening night), a winger from each of the two best lines this year, and one of the best forwards on the team as of late. But the same issues we're seeing from Todd, Brown, Iafallo, and especially Kopi is frustrating as hell.

That's unfortunate. There are better alternatives.

 

[ru4reals]

Arty Party was open there and dude goes cross ice to the other corner. Gets deflected. LOL.

 

[LAKings88]

Hill is actually a pretty good goalie.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Sharks turn a 2v3 into an open one timer
Kings turn a 3v2 into a broken pass tricklingin on goal

He’s a third line guy on a contender. Second line guy on a fringe playoff team.

Although in fairness to Blake and TM, it’s not like any of the forwards from “The best and deepest prospect pool in the league!” have forced him down the lineup.

Just seriously couldn’t care less anymore about how anyone looks at Ontario. Talk to me when some of these forwards start to show a pulse on NHL ice.
