GDT: 2022-23 season game 50 LA Kings vs Philadelphia Flyers @4:00pm 1/24/23

Copley's done! Back to Ontario! Loser! See?

Apparently not.

Ride the Pheonix!

Copley's save % is somewhat ugly, but it continues to work with him starting. You can't argue with him being the #1 when the team is 14-3 when he starts.

 

[Seattle King]

people were wayyy too harsh on him right off the bat

hardly any bad goals in that mini slump, tons of major defensive breakdowns

IKR. Everybody forgot how reliably consistently average he was for us because of two bad ones in a row. Looks like he is back on track. Every G has a few stinkers, Very Bad Starts. Copley has mostly stayed inside the guardrails.

 

[kingsfan28]

he had a couple sticks in his midsection but i think it was equally his teammate's as it was kopitar's

still f***in braindead choosing to go for a swim and scream at the ref instead of fighting through it

i love the refs pointing to him, telling him to stfu and get off the ice.

Wish Tortorella to be the coach of the Kings! There would be some ass-kicking

you shut your filthy trailer trash mouth!

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Deangelo filling his diaper after trying to sell that contact was wonderful

 

[Fishhead]

Where the hell did throwback Kopitar come from? He looked 26 out there.

 

[Docgonzo]

On Instagram I saw a different angle of the Byfield > Kempe > Kopitar goal. It really showed some nifty confident moves from Byfield. Looked good.

It's a game like this that makes the MVP choice for King's player of the year.... Fiala or Copley so difficult.

Not even a question, Fiala all the way. That dude has been absolute money. Copley's playing great but the bar which he had to pass was set below the ground.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Just catching up on the game.. saw the Turcotte hit... poor kid is paper machet.. he is not afraid of contact but maybe he should be

Ride the Pheonix!

Such a fine line between The 2023 LA Kings slogan and the title of a X-Rated film.

 

[Fishhead]

Could you imagine the reaction around here TM would get if he played 2 f***ing defensemen in OT?

Torts is hilarious but hell no.

 

[Surf Nutz]

The guy who gels with PD and stirs the drink is one Trevor Moore, without him teams can zero in on Phil.. Hence I always reference my expendables as AI and Arvy.

PD looks off, battling something , hand, arm, shoulder upper body injury maybe. Iaf and Arv look a lil run down too. Hmm? Who makes everyone better? Should put him here.

14-3-0 Fheonix OFF haters.
Ya pulled twice, he is a Kings goaltender after all.

What is he now 14-3... that's a high bar he set for himself. Vegas just lost ...yes

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

51 points in 50 games for Fiala. Kings haven't had a point-per-game winger in eons.

It’s not difficult whatsoever. Kings would be nowhere without Fiala

He should have gone a bit more conservative on that one for sure. They caught a pretty amazing shot of a young man in real doubt there on the bench, it was really relieving to see him come back out hard. Turcotte was clearly taking stock of himself there, you could see him just waiting it out.

 

[tny760]

I can’t wait for the Tortorella press conference.

"not a penalty. gotta get back"

woof

Love Fiala, but even Kevin has nightmares of the Cal and Quick duo.

Yes I saw that too - looking up to the sky... he's like thinking is this for me? I cant catch a break - or maybe im just not cut out for this level of hockey physicality

I think ill never get used to someone label the Kings as a fast team

 

[tny760]

was kinda laughing to myself about that too, always makes me wonder if it's a sutter-esque "boy he's the best goalie ever, can't believe we got one past him" kind of comment

 

[AbsentMojo]

Love that. He knew it was a dive too

 

[kingsfan28]

Vegas loses in ot.

yeah, he looked like he was trying to see how his head was , looking at the lights and just seeing if the concussion sysptom show up again. He wears the tinted visor for that reason. Glad he was ok in the end. I guess it's one of those things he'll have to work through as his career goes on.

Hockey god karma came instantly for DeAngelo, that was funny.

Might be the worst game of the season for Drew.

Ugly win, our defense tried to lose it a million times.

Except for sweet sweet Mikey Anderson.

Glad they got the points but that's two games in a row they've tried to beat themselves against non-playoff teams, hard to be confident taking that game into FLA-TBL-Car. These guys need the break and some health but lineup has nothing to do with on-ice effort and that was a lot of lazy/sloppy.
