GDT: 2022-23 season game 37 LA Kings vs Arizona Coyotes @6:30pm 12/23/22

[Seattle King]

Kempe continually disappoints.

 

[kings11]

Nick Puickstad.

Who I wouldn’t mind as our 4C

 

[RocketKing]

Not a full effort = Loss to a horrible team

 

[psych3man]

Trade for the goalie

 

[Gjwrams]

Hey folks! We’ve had good stretch. You all have a great Christmas!

 

[kingsboy11]

disappointing loss, really never had any quality chances all game long

 

[ru4reals]

Quick going swimming on Puickstads attempt. Oh well we got a point.

 

[kingsboy11]

also Kings going to overtime and shootouts every other game was going to comeback and bite them

 

[lumbergh]

Kings skated like they had a back to back to back. Only by the grace of the garbage Coyotes could the Kings get a point.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Garbage effort but I find it hard to be mad since it wasn't even an NHL game,

ECHL exhibition Arizona gonna play themselves right out of the lottery with that home rink advantage

Merry Christmas folks!

Can’t blame the goalie on this loss. Offence did duck all night, Defence tried to end it in OT but for the Coyotes.

Quick let in 1 in 65 minutes and 1 in the shootout. 90% of the time that’s a win.

 

[HookKing]

Quick was fine for a backup. Too many vets made just dumbshit plays in OT.

 

[King'sPawn]

All things considered, a point's a point.

Back-to-back against a rested team and quite a few awful calls.

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

God that ice looked like shite guys hobbling pucks

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Iafallo coming back has been such a boost. I was starting to think he was expendable. Still might be.

Blake has a lot of decisions to make while being cognizant of the Cap

 

[Surf Nutz]

Tweener

Kempe continually disappoints.

Tweeners was open but he passed it up and got in too close to get the puck over the pad.
Moore had a post contract let down last couple games.
He will respond.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Lemieux is going to get called left,right and centre. The Kings need to unload him sorry to say

 

[AbsentMojo]

Spence, Fiala and Kopitar should start OT.. Kopi straight to the bench after a face-off win for Kempe. A lot of teams do that. DD needs to retire from PP and OT

 

[kingsfan28]

The Kings only scored 1 goal, to a guy named Velmeka, who had given up 3 plus goals in his last 13 starts. This f-ing team! They phoned this game in.

 

[Trash Panda]

I don’t honestly think anyone showed up to play other than Lizzo.

Pretty typical pedestrian effort, pre-Christmas dribbler that you come to expect from a rudderless group such as this one.

 

[Mats26]

Gutsy win..TMac we lost lol

 

[kingsfan28]

Finally played a solid game for Quick, stunk up the offensive side only scoring 1 on that bum!.

The Kings can not afford to lose any grit unless it is replaced equally or better. He does need a remedial playing smart hockey class. This also includes Roy. Durzi, should be in OT but he has scared TMaxc away after proving to be a major liability.
Iafallo is engine grease whatever part of the motor needs it, you just slap it on. He played well with Kopitar when the Kings were thin, played well with Villardi and Byfield. Now he is playing well with Danault and Moore (who was poor the last couple). 1st line 2nd line, 3rd line, he makes others better or happy to be playing with him. PP , PK. the guy is a catalyst you absolutely do not trade.

I would start Danault just to have a better chance at winning the opening draw.

 

[HookKing]

Blues give up to late goals to allow Vegas to tie it and then blow it completely in the SO.

Quick was fine for a backup. Too many vets made just dumbshit plays in OT.

Do not resign, his style is scouted and outdated. Resign Copley. Pro tip: the sooner you do the cheaper it will be, and less competition for an RFA that has caught the leagues attention.. Don't want to end up paying Cal money. He has the winning modern style. You need another vet to be the third guy /starter in Ontario, just like Copper was this year. And you give Pete a shot at redemption because of his contract.
