GDT: 2022-23 season game 13 LA Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks @5:30pm 11/3/22

[Cook24]

Lemieux is becoming a bigger liability than he has been before. He is a marked man and an easy target for

Blake Lizotte is small enough to make the puck look big but dammit does he work out there.

Also, Lemieux definitely deserved that penalty. He knew what he was doing. It was embellished, but Lemieux basically went for a mini-slew foot.

He hardly touched him. Bullshit.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

For sure Kopi needs to move down. 2nd line no on will touch. So Kopi goes to 3C who is the center on line 1?

They really should just be able to roll the top 3 lines nearly equal minutes. Tonight's paces after 2:

Kopitar: 19:30
Danault: 16
Kupari: 13:15
Lizotte: 11

You can easily see who is fresher and more effective.

 

[Cianide]

Getzlaf told his coach to move him down the line. Kopitar should do the same. He’s such a drag.

Not really.

 

[AbsentMojo]

I think you can move Danault and Kupari out there. I think Kupari is very good.

They could move Vilardi to center and give him the defensive assignment of a wing so he can skate less... then you have lots of options at wing.

Who the F was kempe passing this to , the Hawks?

 

[Cianide]

Kopitar is too good defensively to be moved down.

Yep. High percentage chance to go tape to tape with one of them.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kopitar is too good defensively to be moved down.

Call it line #1 till he dies, I don't care. Just reduce his minutes. There's no reason for him to still be averaging 20 minutes a game when the organization's biggest problem is "too many centers." The minute spread between Cs blows goats and hurts everyone. This would help Anze stay fresh and effective instead of laboring to just join the play or complete a simple pass.

 

[lumbergh]

Tight game. Kings have to find a way to win this game.

 

[BringTheReign]

He hardly touched him. Bullshit.

He positions his arm around to leverage against pushing from behind with his own foot against the Hawks player’s foot. It was embellished as well, but Lemieux didn’t just graze him skating by. Kesler used to pull the same crap all the time. Either way Lemieux is never going to get the benefit of the doubt, ever.

 

[kingsfan28]

Has any of our dmen hit the net with a shot tonight? All i've seen is blocks and into shins.

 

[cyclones22]

Kempe might want to try to actually pass it once in awhile tonight.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This is quite a low event game.

 

[Sol]

Kupari is better defensively than Kopitar though

 

[kingsfan28]

oh kupari, what are you waiting for?

 

[head eyes]

Kupari with the Kopi peel off special

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings really are looking for the perfect play. Kupari was trying to be unnecessarily fancy. Just get the puck on net my dude.

 

[lumbergh]

Wow that's gonna leave a mark.

 

[unicornpig]

Kupari is better defensively than Kopitar though

LOL

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kupari's skating is awesome and a weapon in itself, he's fast enough to turn the corner on the outside on dmen which f***s up all their angles, glad he's starting to really use that Carter-like skating

Ouch, poor Lizotte.

 

[lumbergh]

That's next level slick by Kaliyev

 

[Martyros]

Kupari really needs to be more decisive and selfish. he's constantly looking for someone else to give the puck to.

 

[kingsfan28]

this is so stupid!

 

[Sol]

LOL

Kopitar has been pretty bad defensively this year my man.

 

[kingsboy11]

what a bullshit rule
