GDT: 2021-22 season game 9 LA Kings vs Buffalo Sabres @1:00pm 10/31/21

[Ollie Weeks]

Winnable game heading into the third.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Major difference is we are DOWN one instead of UP one, it's a whole different landscape!

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

If possible, I hope they look to sign Lemieux to a Clifford-like deal and get him between $1.6-1.8 million for 3-5 years.

I'd be good with that

 

[Matt13]

Grundy reminds me of Brown especially on his goal today. Fast and tenacious!

 

[HookKing]

bad penalty

can't do that shit

I have to disagree a bit, the guy is 6-7 and the alternative was let him take it to the net.

 

[123slam]

Probably Brown unless he re-signs for cheap with the intention of dwelling on the bottom-6; however, I don't know if they will get rid of Kempe. He will likely get re-signed unless there is a good deal for him at the deadline.

Getting rid of Brown over Kempe is an awful idea. I'm done with Kempe - he needs to be traded while still worth something. Brown should retire here and I expect him to. He'll sign on the cheap and he can be an effective 3rd/4th liner

Kaliyev already benched. FU TM

 

[head eyes]

So what exactly did Kaliyev do to get benched?

 

[HookKing]

Buffalo is either half-assing it or they're just not that good. Kings can take this if they keep pressing.

 

[tny760]

so girgensons can shoot the puck into the net after the icing whistle then crosscheck roy with no penalty

 

[kingsholygrail]

Everyone was frozen but Kopitar.

 

[tny760]

33 got the penalty? no one committed a penalty

wtf

i'll take the goal i guess but that was a phantom call

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I'll take it, but that wasn't a penalty

So what exactly did Kaliyev do to get benched?

Is that rhetorical? Cause he gave up a puck that lead to a goal.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Brown having a quietly good game, good screen on the goal and a few big hits. That’s what we need from him more often, the less he has the puck the better.

really enjoyed the dopey look on his face when he learned that shot went in too

If you think that was worthy of a benching then lol. It was a bouncing puck. He played plenty after that with them too

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Interested to see what Lias does with some time next to Kopi.

Really??? What about when any of the other players on the team make a mistake and just get more ice time? GTFO

 

[KingsHockey24]

Lemieux is a little rat that people don't wanna mess with. I love it.

 

[tny760]

i'm not on tmac's side here but it might be more about promoting lias than demoting kaliyev

 

[BigBrown]

Kopitar passing 20 minutes of ice time already. The Todd special.

Ok, then why was he benched?

 

[Docgonzo]

TM hates rookies just ignore those top 2 minute crunchers on the backend.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Nice power move by Grundstrom and nice pick up to forehand for goal! Carl is a natural RWinger...that's where they should play him
