GDT: 2022-23 season LA Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights @7:00pm 10/11/22

It's crazy that Jack Eichel gravitated to hockey and not modeling

 

[Docgonzo]

Forwards don’t look bad but the defense looks rusty.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

This is the season Vilardi turns into Frolov and I'm pumped for it.

As leader and only member of the vilardi fan club (Anaheim ducks chapter), we support this msg.

Hope him and steel both blow up this year(also leader and only fan in the sam steel fan club)

 

[bland]

Barring injury, he'll get 40+ games this season. Only needs 33 more after tonight to reach 1000

Which only makes having 5 rhd on the big club more problematic.

Fo sho, simple as that

 

[Cianide]

Multiple 30 goal seasons and even 70 point seasons?

Nah you guys just criminally underrate Fro.

Yeah but those years were some of the worst for the Kings franchise. I'd like a player who can put up those numbers on a winning team. When it really matters. Frolov was way too passive.

 

[Lt Dan]

OMG!! Messier was one the intermission and I was pulling the Gary Coleman pic to show her and...magic

 

[Herby]

Jack Eichel looks like one of those dudes from the old western films who betrays the protagonist for some gold

Come on dude, everyone knows he is Marv.

Eichel actually looked really good, IMO. Vegas has some serious roster/depth issues, but they do at least have a pretty young #1 center.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Late, but Vilardi from Byfield brought a tear to my eye. If those two get hot this team is gonna be scary good.

Also, for those wanting to keep track.
Kopitar - 6:09
Kempe
Arvidsson
Danault
Moore
Fiala
Kaliyev
Iafallo
Grundstrom
Vilardi
Lizotte
Byfield - 3:46

Time on ice among the forwards. Kopitar led all forwards with 6:09, and Byfield had the least with 3:46. The only skater on either team to have less time than Byfield is Mike Amadio.

 

[kingsfan28]

My man Edlers age already lapped him a few times. Word around the locker room is that he says he can now tell when it’s going to rain because his joints ache.

its raining in LA right now, Edler's legs must've been killing him that period.

 

[AbsentMojo]

I don't know if Edler is going to be able to cut it for the Kings this season. He was really an unsung hero last season, but at 36 he is probably at best teeing off on 18.

I think he makes a great #7 d-man, but if the Kings are going to reach a ceiling they probably need Clarke to be in that spot. Assuming they don't trade for someone.

Mr Ed might be ready for the glue factory. He has a NMC so he cant be waived...We are really hurtin on the left side

 

[kilowatt]

Lowest time on ice for the Kings? Quinton Byfield, 3:46. Only Amadio has less on the Vegas side.

He was part of the early rebuild and peaked far too soon. He literally had one of the weirdest trajectories I’ve seen from an NHL player..
But back to Gabe, if he becomes prime Fro, we’ll be in a very, very good spot

That's a terrible argument.

That's like trying to say Nick Suzuki is a meh player because he played on the last place team in the NHL. The numbers Fro put up are pretty incredible considering he played a lot with Derek Armstrong, Michael Handzus, and Craig Conroy.

 

[kingsfan28]

ESPN soft stroking the crap out of Vegas. You'd think it was a Vegas home game the way they're covering it.

Zero surprise.

Also why does Chelios look like he has a rug glued to his head?

Where can you get icetime logs?

6:09 is ok for AK. He will probably be at around the same in the 2nd.

The problem is if it's a 1 goal or tied game in the 3rd you know TM is going to lean heavily on him and he will end up back around 20-22 minutes. And in defense of TM, that is what most NHL coaches do.

Last year the Kings had a very difficult time getting two goal leads in games they scored first, if we can build more multiple goal leads this season the icetime for AK will go down.

No comparison to Suzuki. He is on a rebuilding Canadiens. Frolov was on crappy Kings teams and put up points, but what did it all mean? Nothing. Frolov was good, don't get me wrong, but I'd hope for more for Vilardi than prime Frolov.

 

[Dykstra]

Is there any way to disable this live refreshing? It’s driving me crazy (again)

 

[kingsholygrail]

That awful change... holy f***.

 

[Telos]

Ridiculous odd man rush to give up...

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Brutal change after the PK

I really hope you're kidding
