GDT: 2021-22 season WESTERN CONFERENCE QUARTER FINALS Game 2 LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers @7:00pm LA leads 1-0

[Raccoon Jesus]

I mean, everyone sucks tonight, why pick on any single one King?

I mean don't get me wrong, pick your favorite punching bag and have at it, but it's not like we can go "x line played good" about literally anyone tonight.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

I'd rather see what Kupari and Vilardi have in them than Brown amd Lizotte. Go down in flames but give those guys a taste of playoff games.

 

[MBH]

Looks pretty beatable all game but no the blame is on Todd’s shoulders solely

How?
Kings powerplay players sucked.
They had 2 powerplays and got f*** all done.
We all knew the Oilers would get their powerplays in the second - and they did.
They went 1-for-2.
And then Byfield blew it on the Kings PP - and the Oilers scored a shortie.
It was over.

The main complaint I have with Tmac is that Byfield was outclassed badly in Game 1 but he didn't have the stones to flout superstition and change his lineup.
The kid's nowhere near ready. That's not his fault.

 

[CowMix]

Byfield is going to be a bust. There’s not a butterfly transformation that big that’s going to make him that much better.

Board them all too

Meh he's 19 and started the season with a broken leg, he'll be fine give him some time.

 

[head eyes]

Byfield is brutal tonight.

 

[Sol]

Meh he's 19 and started the season with a broken leg, he'll be fine give him some time.

No I’m not going to. He hasn’t looked good enough for his draft spot for me to give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[bouncesonly]

lol Game 5 if necessary.....good job Bally Sports

 

[KingsofLA]

Byfield should be playing in the AHL getting minutes and developing strength and conditioning by playing lots of minutes.

 

[The Butcher]

Meh he's 19 and started the season with a broken leg, he'll be fine give him some time.

He can be fine from the press box for this series I think I've seen enough.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

I’ve seen 6 year old Girls holding a Barbie doll with more hockey sense.

 

[Sol]

Why aren’t the running people and throwing controversial elbows?

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Perfect chance for Grundstrum to lay McDavid out there. Didn't even touch him.

Byfield need to hit the gym and build up muscle. He is getting thrown around like a ragdoll.


If he build up his strength I think he will be fine.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Oh yes, the boos. Typical.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Why aren’t the running people and throwing controversial elbows?

Put me in coach. I'll mess someone up.

 

[Bandit]

Haven’t turned off a Kings playoff game early ever. Tonight’s the night. Glad to get out tied 1-1 but the way it happened wasn’t great.

Forget this one and move on.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Put the 4th line out there Todd and send a message you worthless f***

 

[kingsholygrail]

The Kings don't play physical. They haven't since they started the rebuild. They're not going to start now.

 

[Sol]

I’ve seen 6 year old Girls holding a Barbie doll with more hockey sense.

According to some he’s the prodigal golden boy for no reason other than he’s second overall. He sucks. He looks no different than a lumbering 4th round pick. If you didn’t know he was second overall you’d easily assume he’s just some random 4th round pick getting a game in

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Athanasiou back to playing like Mr. Fancypants.

 

[MBH]

Athanasiou back to playing like Mr. Fancypants.

Pass drew him in on the goalie - a 6'5 goalie

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Lemiuex 1 on 3 and Kopitar is hanging back holding onto 5'8 Yamamoto.

 

[AbsentMojo]

I'd rather see what Kupari and Vilardi have in them than Brown amd Lizotte. Go down in flames but give those guys a taste of playoff games.

The odds Brown sitting are about same as him outskating McDavid

 

[jgs]

Byfield for being a high draft choice is nowhere close to Macdaivid, Matthews. Yes he is 19 but he doesn't show that he has that potential to becoming anything close to Mac or Matthews.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Pepe laying into the ref.

He will bust along with Vilardi and Turcotte.
