GDT: 2023-24 season game 21 LA Kings vs Colorado Avalanche @5:00pm 12/3/23 The "Yes we are playing today" edition

[Gjwrams]

id perfer they don’t bring Turcotte up unless he is going to get a prolonged stay. Either someone else to IR or they decide to swap Turcotte and Laf.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Turcotte, like JAD, will need a lot of TOI before he really finds his game at the NHL level.

It's a difficult thing to do when you're trying to win now.

Yeah you’re right we should just not play him

Self fulfilling prophecy like a few seasons back with Kaliyev vilardi byfield

 

[tny760]

oh yeah manson throw your head up in disbelief

like it wasn't your 4th penalty of the shift

f*** outta here holy shit

 

[chris kontos]

Boy that was cheap

 

[Gjwrams]

I think Kempe has splinters in his lips.

 

[kingsfan28]

Seriously. Manson took that for that little play around the goalis glove? What a idiot

 

[Bandit]

Fark me

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Good movement

 

[AbsentMojo]

kopi had 2 chances to 1 time it, and caught it instead .. oh well

 

[Sol]

Kopitar.. ugh.

Doughty slows down the PP so much. He’s such an idiot.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Guys have to bear down. Blowing the shot when the goalie is already dead and having two guys there unable to get the rebound is the same problem as last game, good teams that can play d will make it challenging, kings aren’t ready to play like that lately.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Man if byfield had a shorter stick he may have had that one

 

[tny760]

kopi had 2 chances to 1 time it, and caught it instead .. oh well

they had a ton of space in the low circle there but never aggressed

frustrating

 

[AbsentMojo]

Kopitar.. ugh.

Doughty slows down the PP so much. He’s such an idiot.

He's so uncreative out there.. He needs to move off.. remember 21-22 when he went down and we saw what was possible w Durzi

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Looks like we will be cruising towards another moral victory due to lack of killer instinct, willingness to slide into base

 

[kingsfan28]

The effort was there , but again , no finish.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

I would love to see Spence out there instead of drew but that might hurt some feelings

Dubois Ditty ditty Dumb Dewey do

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Wasn’t PlD supposed to look at the ref and cry there

 

[kingsfan28]

oh AK, stick to the one timer.

 

[Bandit]

Kings doing everything but score. Where have I seen this one before?

 

[johnjm22]

Yeah you’re right we should just not play him

I'm not saying they shouldn't play him. I'm just saying I wouldn't expect him to be effective right away.

Your post made is sound like a forgone conclusion he would step in and be an instant upgrade. I'm not so sure he would be.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Monster shift by Byfield. My lord

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Sorry guys already gave the Avs a penalty what am I supposed to do give them ANOTHER one? How is that fair

 

[tny760]

Monster shift by Byfield. My lord

dude has adapted to the NHL board game like crazy, seems like he wins every 50-50 on the boards nowadays

 

[Telos]

Need to find a way to score. Not sure if they hang on if they allow the Avs to survive until the skills competition. Byfield is turning into a beast around the boards.
