GDT: 2022-23 season game 21 LA Kings vs Seattle Kraken @7:00pm 11/19/22

Byfield 1pt in 4 games

Apparently he lost like 500 lbs. but regardless Byfield is looking more and more bleak.

 

[AbsentMojo]

They really need to free Vilardi from his anchors

Ya.. Its a team without a 1C.. you can only pretend for so long calling that your 1st line.. their line +/- from last year tells the story.

 

[Sol]

What a rebound Cal lmao

yes, people thought he was a skeleton for halloween but it wasnt a costume

 

[DoktorJeep]

They need to be better if they want to win

That was just awful hockey! Kaliyev and Kupari were so bad they just should stay on the bench. I counted at least 5 times we tried to get the puck in deep, failed, and then one pass beats 3 kings and it's right back into our zone. They scored only once. We're lucky it wasn't 4-0!

 

[kilowatt]

He looks nothing like he did the first 10 games of the season.

playing with kopitar will do that to ya

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Seattle doesn’t have near the individual talent that is on the Kings, but they have a clear identity and they’re well coached.

Blake and TMac should be embarrassed. How long has Blake in particular just been collecting prospects like a f***in Pokemon trainer without figuring out what he wanted this team to be?

I would not say that. The Kraken have as much talent as the Kings. They are probably better man for man. God knows their Defense and Goaltending have been better and I would say on a good night their Offense is better too

 

[head eyes]

Ah, it's now Fiala's turn to get neutered

 

[AbsentMojo]

Jim trying to make the case that Vilardi needs to learn to manage his minutes on teh top line.. more apologetics

 

[DoktorJeep]

Ah, it's now Fiala's turn to get neutered

Kopitar slows the game down, and his linemates production with it.

 

[kingsfan28]

Just sit Kaliyev. another turnover.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Forslund says LA broke in a lot First year players last year and made the play-offs all in one sentence

 

[kingsfan28]

Add Danault to the worst game as a King list. How many times are you gonna try that pass?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Its about time Fiala gets put back on the first line where he belongs

 

[head eyes]

Its about time Fiala gets put back on the first line where he belongs

We don't have any players good enough for the line he belongs on

 

[kingsfan28]

was that really a penalty because he knocked him down?

 

[AbsentMojo]

not much of a penalty but we've gotten those soft calls against plenty

 

[justonetime]

was that really a penalty because he knocked him down?

Both were awful calls

 

[kingsfan28]

Martin Jones is so far into the kings head. all he needs is 1 goal. 27-3 coming into this game.

It's not like the Kings have made him work.

God damn I wish this team had a big hitter. Only Grundstrom finishes his checks. It’s mind blowing how Blake and Luc, who played in the toughest era of hockey and have seen firsthand how effective it is, have built such a soft team. Soft and other teams just punish the Kings and they fold.

The toughest era of hockey? OK I'll bite. Hitting,big guys if they don't have skill are going the way of Dodo

Vilardi needs to centre the 3rd line with Iafallo and Kaliyev

 

[AbsentMojo]

Cal seems more alert than usual
