GDT: 2023-24 season Game 2 LA Kings vs Carolina Hurricanes @7:30pm 10/14/23

[AzKing]

Garbage, gutless goaltending.

 

[YAYSAY]

A skilled rookie immediately put on a skilled line and told to score and not learn to "play the right way" is looking good? Interesting

 

[bland]

How can you possibly think that you are ready to take a step forward with this goaltending?

Imagine being that dumb.

 

[BringTheReign]

Todd’s gonna be gone by game 10 if these goaltending showings continue.

 

[johnjm22]

You’re legit delusional. The Kings have zero NHL goalies and you’re going to say center was the biggest need.

Kings needed C/LD/G. It makes sense to allocate resources to the former two given the situation.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

On the bright side I’m watching the game and not paying for cable anymore.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Who could have foreseen goaltending being an issue for this roster?

Good lord, two stinkers in a row. Ya love to see it.

You get what you pay for. Who is spending less on goaltending this year? What's blakes favorite band? hint Chrissy Hynde is the singer

 

[Kurrilino]

How can you possibly think that you are ready to take a step forward with this goaltending?

Imagine being that dumb.

Do we actually care that there is a 0 on Kings scoreboard?

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Kings don't have an NHL quality goaltender at any level, complete organizational malpractice

 

[Schmooley]

Copley isnt playing well but the team came out flat as hell and didnt start moving their feet until they were down 2-0 anyway. I dont think its cool for Fox to rip on Copley and Fiala while he excuses the how bad the team came out

 

[DoktorJeep]

Wow we are witnessing absolute worst case scenario. Wonder if we could Petersen back.

You rang?

 

[Schrute farms]

Todd’s gonna be gone by game 10 if these goaltending showings continue.

It should be Blake

 

[kingsfan28]

clean draw win, englund bobbles the puck at the blueline and loses it

 

[tny760]

englund might be the worst defenseman we've ever given a contract

what a shift

 

[BringTheReign]

A skilled rookie immediately put on a skilled line and told to score and not learn to "play the right way" is looking good? Interesting

The thing that drives me nuts about this is why did Iafallo and Laferriere specifically get those opportunities right off the bat as opposed to other players? I’m glad Byfield is in a position to succeed now, but there have been plenty of others.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

If kings go 0-10 to start the year with a 5.00 gaa do they can Blake

 

[Kurrilino]

Todd’s gonna be gone by game 10 if these goaltending showings continue.

We were at this point last season when Copley stepped in and saved his behind

 

[Sol]

Kings needed C/LD/G. It makes sense to allocate resources to the former two given the situation.

Kings had/have centers, and the Kings have a full year with Gavrikov, they went into the season with no NHL goalies. You can admit you were wrong than die on this embarrassing hill.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

On the bright side I’m watching the game and not paying for cable anymore.

Nice! Who'd you go with?

Kings don't have an NHL quality goaltender at any level, complete organizational malpractice

Then let the kids play and learn. Put Portillo and Ingham in.

 

[Kurrilino]

If kings go 0-10 to start the year with a 5.00 gaa do they can Blake

Nope

 

[Telos]

How many f***ing pucks can we bobble on the f***ing blue line? This is turning into a Herb Brooks moment. They can't even play for themselves at the moment, let alone the team.

 

[Trash Panda]

Do we actually care that there is a 0 on Kings scoreboard?

AHL level goaltending is a problem no matter which way you slice it.

Other than the boneheaded turnovers from Fiala, this actually isn’t a bad period of hockey from the Kings.

 

[onlyalad]

Hey he has stopped as many shots as goals allowed
In baseball hitting 500 is great

 

[kingsholygrail]

Then Blake will trade the number 1 pick to save his job

Pretty sure we already traded our top pick.

 

[johnjm22]

Kings had/have centers, and the Kings have a full year with Gavrikov, they went into the season with no NHL goalies. You can admit you were wrong than die on this embarrassing hill.

The embolden is not true, and it's been their biggest problem in each of the last two playoffs.
