GDT: 2022-23 season game 67 LA Kings vs Nashville Predators @7:30pm 3/11/23

[Seattle King]

We suck in overtime and that is entirely on Todd

 

[fsanford]

So no Kopi on shootout?

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Bad ice
Bad lineup decisions
Bad ice time deployment
Bad game

 

[FeartheFur]

Exactly. Why the f*** did Vilardi and Byfield not play in OT? I hate this f***ing coach. Iiafallo gonna score in OT? He hasn’t scored in over a month.

 

[Sol]

Goes to show that this team is nothing without Fiala to really drive the play and generate momentum. No amount of coaching or anyone can replace that.

 

[Jungle Boy]

F U Todd

 

[ru4reals]

Meh bound to lose a game. But please get back soon Fiala. Don't ever want to see number 17 dressed again. Onto the next game.

 

[Steve Zissou]

If Todd had any huevos he would have put Byfield with all that speed in OT.

Instead he goes with lack-of-speed with Kopi, Drew, and Danault.

Probably why TMac didn't win in SJ – afraid to put his balls on the line.

 

[Sol]

Dumb ass coach.

 

[FeartheFur]

The Koala bear sucks.

 

[HookKing]

We can only hope Fiala misses a couple more, sadly missed with his strength on the puck and awesome skating. I would have tried Byfield in OT because he seemed to be the only one that skate into the zone with speed and puck.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Todd's pregame strategy.. we're going to feature Walker tonite he'll carry us

 

[bouncesonly]

Looks like Kings need to practice on some ice.

How come kings don’t have a dooshy hockey hall of fame reporter that can ask wtf was Todd thinking tonight and if he doesn’t like the answer ask him why he’s being pissy.

 

[LAKings88]

Not even mad. Take the point and move on.

 

[lumbergh]

Staples Center ice wins the game. Whatever. Kings got a point. Keep racking them up!

 

[Trash Panda]

So no Kopi on shootout?

Dude has been pretty mid in the shootout lately.

 

[psych3man]

Remember when the commonly made draft criticism of Byfield was he was mostly an "on the rush" talent?
Isn't 3:3 all about "on the rush?" So we sit one of the two best on the rush talents on the team?? Makes a lot of sense.
Just like sitting out a young talent with a world class shot (34) when our PP was going to be challenged with Fiala out.
This nonsensical decision making makes me nuts.

 

[SherVaughn30]

TMac with bad coaching. Moore should have been a no brainer for the shootout. Even in the shootout they tried side-2-side crap. Just head straight down the middle, maybe a little deke/twitch and shoot for a corner or opening.

Yea imagine watching that game and still choosing to trot out Walker Doughty and Kopitar for a large portion of the overtime. No feel for the game.
Nashville was playing rookies in overtime even a guy whos only played 2 games before this one.

 

[fsanford]

The guy with the best hands on your team does not see the ice 3 on 3.
Honestly with all the open nets Preds had probably lucky to salvage a point.
Fiala needs to get healthy soon. Until then play Arty who can put the puck in the net
Gavrikov signed yet that would make up for the lost point
Drew have contract incentives that pay him to cough up the puck?


Get the freaking Clippers out of the Crypt 2 basketball teams are too much

 

[SherVaughn30]

Dude has been pretty mid in the shootout lately.

Kopitar likes to be shifty and use the can opener move. Ice not good tonight, so that wouldn't have worked.

 

[AbsentMojo]

when has

The guy with the best hands on your team does not see the ice 3 on 3.

@All The Kings Men Jesse can you ask McClellan why Gabe doesnt get any looks in OT... in Canada he would be shredded

 

[SherVaughn30]

Moore has NOT been good since coming back. Looks 2 steps behind.

Takes a bit to get game rhythm back after being out for a good deal of games.

 

[Schmooley]

Lmao at putting Byfield out there, he's stickhandling a f***ing golf ball every time he's out there....but yea let's put him out there in a situation where one turnover can cost you the game....bunch of f***ing geniuses here

Did you watch the overtime and think Doughty Kopitar Walker and Iafallo were going to do anything? Byfield would do well in overtime and you know it.

 

[unicornpig]

Are we still trying to highlight Walker for a trade in the offseason or is TM axtually this stupid
