GDT: 2022-23 season game 14 LA Kings vs Florida Panthers @7:30pm 11/5/22

"it sure looks like he did poke him in the eye but Quick has been here in Hollywood for a long time, so..." -Panthers announcers.

Yeah, I typically like opposing feeds over Faust/Fox, but the Panthers feed was pretty brutal tonight. First time in a long time where I actually considered switching back to our feed.

As a neutral fan this was a great game to attend live at Crypto Arena. Both teams battled hard and it was a back and forth contest. Glad the Kings got the win for their hometown fans. Deff wanna come back here to attend another game in the future.

It's too bad Quick couldn't get an assist on the 3rd goal. That was a great pass.
As far as Army and Stoll's comments, they didn't think he was going for the eyes specifically but definitely f***ing with the mask which I would buy. I don't think Tkachuk is that good with his hands but I definitely think it was intentional.

 

[Statto]

really forcing the bailey thing at this point

holy shit give it up, are we 12 years old?

The 12 year olds are 12, I suspect they are the target audience.

Of course the panthers fans are saying Quick sold it. Can't expect much from Floridians.

Well he did, twice. Doesn’t negate two high sticks and an incidental bump to the head.

 

[lumbergh]

A dozen Kings with at least a point last night. Plus Quick deserved one.

 

[Bandit]

Caught the highlights. It’s a no defense league? Glad they won, seemed like a fun game, but damn if anybody played D.

 

[unicornpig]

crazy that kaliyev is tied for 5th in scoring on this team.

 

[Statto]

You talking about the same Kopi that just put that puck in Fiala’s g-spot.. lol

That’s definitely Kopi’s fault then. If he’s hitting the g-spot it’s no wonder he couldn’t focus on the shot.

 

[21Dog]

That rat needs to be dealt with.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Next game against Florida:

Lemieux - Lizotte - Doty

Considering the little ice time he’s getting.

 

[Chazz Reinhold]

Considering the little ice time he’s getting.

He's second on the team in points/60 in all situations. Very good for how little ice time he gets.

[kilowatt]

I wonder if Kaliyev was a little banged up earlier in the season, because he was moving better than I’ve ever seen him move in the past.

 

[HookKing]

Considering the little ice time he’s getting.

Not really I'm amazed he's getting any icetime at all since TM ruined him.

It was a fun game to watch, but yeah, each team gave up 2 goals that we're just flat out defensive breakdowns. We're definitely worse than last year at it, but it seems like this season and last that constant brain farts have infected the entire league.

I wonder if Kaliyev was a little banged up earlier in the season, because he was moving better than I’ve ever seen him move in the past.

Total speculation, but I think the coaching staff pointed at Gabe and told Arty that if he wanted to be top six and PP1 he needed to step up and take it. He's contributed since he arrived, but he hasn't consistently contributed in driving play in all areas until the last few games.

good news

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Here comes a token “Tkachuk has been assessed a maximum fine allowable by the CBA” just to prove they were actually paying attention to LA/FLorida in LA.

I will be in utter shock if they assess anything beyond that.

 

[tny760]

i have a feeling he gets a game or two, regardless it gets him on the list again which means next time won't be as lenient

How can you be so sure there will be a nex….

*checks family pedigree

Yeah, never mind, you right.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

good news

He’ll get the maximum fine: $31.48.

 

[HookKing]

good news

Maybe they expand the Sean Avery rule to forbid attempts to gouge the goalie's eyes out.

 

[johnjm22]

Vilardi is so good in tight spaces and in traffic. He really is a unique talent in that regard.

Kaliyev's passing has always been underrated. He has good vision. He's also worked to round out other areas of his game.

Last night was a preview of what Kaliyev could be if he can learn to consistently play the game at a higher tempo. Which has been the biggest thing holding him back IMO.

 

[cyclones22]

The key to breaking in these young guys is giving them elite training wheels like a Fiala or to a lesser extent Iafallo. Unfortunately for Arty, is he does have a buzzsaw on his line in Lizotte, but Blake doesn't really create for Arty. Arty seems to create more for him.
