GDT: 2022-23 season game 31 LA Kings vs Columbus Blue Jackets @3:00pm 12/11/22

I'm wondering if it's better to send Quick to Ontario and call up Cal, if that's possible?!

 

[Cook24]

Don’t get why people think Byfield will make a difference. Let him dominate the season in AHL and give him his shot next season. We need D and a goalie…

It’s not, Cal’s confidence is shot

For one, slot players in the right spot and get Kempe out of center.

 

[Master Yoda]

Someone tell these guys they are allowed to backcheck

Also someone tell Quick he's allowed to make a save

Quick isn't exactly brimming with swagger either.

 

[kingsfan28]

Todds done, he has to go.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Stupid rule really

Its a safety thing.. If you can hang onto it how long before its a penalty - maybe it should be 5 seconds so the player could do something w the puck if he had it? Carbon fiber splinters are pretty nasty

Kings have played more games than most in the pacific. Those 3/4 points will evaporate soon. %s are not in their favor.

Kings are currently 16th in points percentage in the league, and only a few percentage points away from 20th.

A loss today would once again move the Kings out of the final wildcard spot in the West.

A loss today for LA and a win from Calgary tomorrow would put the Kings 5th in the Pacific, ahead of only San Jose and Anaheim.

No worries guys, the org had a big meeting after last week's blowout and Cal got waived so I'm sure we're on the right track.

Cal is actually playing well with the Reign. Quick has looked very erratic of late, and he's a long-time vet goalie!

Yes that will save us…

Is the Bally app not showing video?

because kempe is the worst center on the kings right now since todd put him there. there is no chemistry and he looks lost and can't generate any offense for that line. Todd has killed 2 offensive weapon with that move.

Lol

I'll at least give some credit where it's due: Alex and Jim haven't been particularly forgiving to LA's play in recent weeks. I appreciate that.

I think its partly he doesnt trust the D in front of him, so he is always trying to do too much. The cluster all starts with the d-corps being flimsy from day 1

Seattle had 5 games in hand coming into today. They'll get atleast 6-7 points over than span.

Hard to make excuses for the team when they giving up 4+ goals a night

 

[Mcsorley47]

Ok, which one of you cool guys are going to fire up the 2023 draft thread!

Hope there’s a good goalie prospect

 

[kilowatt]

To top it all off, Blake's going to trade our 1st at the deadline for an expiring RHD to play him on his off-side and then not re-sign him.

 

[Surf Nutz]

But I like the top 2 lines.
He needs to swap Kempe and Gabe to C and if not mix lines 3 and 4.
Kinda rough on line 2 lately but Danaults not 100% and they are mostly paired with the Durzi effect in an attempt to minimize the downside.

JAD better chill out or picking up a second point books his ticket to watch next game from up high.

 

[unicornpig]

Columbus is so bad lol
