GDT: 2021-22 season game 61 LA Kings vs Florida Panthers @7:00pm 3/13/22

[Raccoon Jesus]

I've got nothing special to say tonight except that was the best game ive been to in years AND got to meet Turcotte Thomas Sparks and Villalta

Well worth it

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings win 3-2 or I don’t eat anything with ketchup for a week.

I take that back, had to acknowledge this

 

[AbsentMojo]

Oh come on he's meant a lot more to this team than facewashes.

Yes he has.. im a big fan of his overall game - the guy can skate and is a great teammate.. inspires the team overall

 

[ru4reals]

3 goals scored when we've pulled the goalie, in the past what month if I remember correctly. Absolute miracle right there.

WaitingForThatCab: Kings not so tough when your team doesn't have 9 guys stuck in COVID protocol​

Well well well

 

[Master Yoda]

Doughty in that same situation would have wound up for a slapper.

Last two goalie pulled situations, two goals. Both with Durzi instead of Doughty.
Coincidence? I think not.

Greatest goalie in Kings history. 32 in the rafters as soon as he retires. Hoping the next great Kings goalie will have a last name like superfast, or lightningspeed.

That poster really really hates the Kings and I’m confused why, when have Kings vs Panthers ever been a rivalry.

Gloating and then losing to half of our AHL squad no less lmao

Great win by the replacements! Really thought Florida was going to blow the doors off this team.


Its a shame that Frk's last minute heroics will get him sent back down to the AHL.

I don't think he'd clear waivers at this point in the season. Earlier teams may have been reluctant to have him take up a roster spot, but we are close enough to the postseason that someone might grab him for free for a little depth just in case.

[Little Psycho]

All that bitching against "biased reffing" and they couldn't score on an AHL squad. For a team first in offense, they should be embarrassed of their effort with or without the pp.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

All things considered, one of the most impressive results in a long time

I really liked Bjornfot's game tonight, sucks to see him go down with an injury

Vilardi had a few bad plays, but overall his play tonight was very worthy of staying in the lineup, injuries or not

Center was supposed to be a strength for the Kings, and at this point it's a weakness. Danault is great, but Kopi seems to be rapidly approaching Brown territory, Lizotte looks nothing like the player he was the first 30 games of the season, and Byfield looks like he has zero confidence out there

Iafallo's game is a complete disaster right now

Massive congrats to Quick on game number 700, glad he got the win, but...

Goaltending is quickly moving up the list of major issues that is going to need to be addressed.

 

[KingsFan7824]

I thought this was one of Byfield's worst games. Totally lacking confidence out there. He sure looks awkward sometimes with that short stick.

Love the assertiveness of Bjornfot's game tonight. It's like he knew he had to step up, and he answered the call.

Kopitar does nothing. Lizzotte isn't playing anywhere near as well as he was earlier in the season. QB is a rookie. So we're basically down to one good center.

The game was actually going quite well until they gave up that shortie.

Still struggling like hell to generate scoring chances.

There was that one shift, I think in the 1st, where Byfield was just getting knocked around all over the place, losing the puck, etc, one of the worst shifts you could see. You can see where the talent is, but he is that project that people said he was. Not that Florida wasn't taking it to the entire team physically.

What happened to Sparks this year?

 

[raswilliam]

Durzi deke on barkov was $$$$.

[kinghock]

Given the circumstances, I think he did pretty good.

I think he was good, period.

Spence >Durzi

 

[ibleedkings]

Kaliyev with more ice time then Kopi . I think Todd is starting to figure out that PD's line is the top line now.

Love to see Gabe back in the lineup. His Skill level is one of the highest on the Kings.

 

[kinghock]

What happened to Sparks this year?

Sparks got injured.

I believe it is abdominal issue.

I don't think he'd clear waivers at this point in the season. Earlier teams may have been reluctant to have him take up a roster spot, but we are close enough to the postseason that someone might grab him for free for a little depth just in case.

He doesn’t go through waivers unless he’s been up for 30 days or played 10 games.

Whilst I agree that Frk probably deserves another shot if it became a choice between keeping Frk up or one of the prospects we still hope to break through like Kupari or Vilardi it’s a pretty easy decision because we need to be playing the long game. You’re right though, if he were to get to the point of needing waivers he’d likely get claimed.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Thought Kupari was impressive last night...

 

[Omni Owl]

Of course we're now missing 6 of our top D. I don't think that's happened to any team just about ever. Nice f***ing luck there. Isn't it nice to not see Brown continuously fail out there. I'd rather see the Vilardi, Frk, and Kupari/Andersson get their chances.
