GDT: 2023-24 season Game 3 LA Kings vs Winnipeg Jets @5:00pm 10/17/23

He'll win me over when he can put together a few solid consecutive shifts to start.

He has the turning radius of a bus and handles the puck like a hand grenade.

This!!!

Faust wasn't terrible, but he did come into a tough situation. Replacing a guy like Bob is something that no one can do. I wish they would have went with Nickson from the start simply because he has the experience to handle it. He knew Bob as well as anyone, too.

Big shoes to fill, and his happened be infant feet

Faust was a plague on my home and not only am I glad he’s gone … I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL <end Sam L Jackson voice >

You got to feel for Vilardi tonight. Lizotte does some weird shit on the daily.

Lizzotte skates like the Tasmanian devil

Carolynn kind of looks like a dude tonight

Well he is a bottom pairing dman for a reason.

Story on him last year was that he started out rough but got better as the season went on. Gotta remember he only has 1 season's worth of NHL experience under his belt. New team, new partner, new system.

I think he had a positive impact overall tonight.

Bro, W-T-F.

 

[Little Psycho]

Didn’t TM say he was getting rid of the 1-3-1? Am I imagining that?

Ya that was very strange hit he put on Vilardi.. Liz was falling over reaching for the puck - and it squirted up the boards and he decided to finish the check and it was low and awkward and I dont think Gabe was expecting it - was borderline late

Greene and Martinez were bottom pairing defensemen, too. Bottom pairing doesn't mean it has to equal"bad". Just capable.

Overall, I'll agree he had a positive impact, where he did well enough and didn't have any atrocious giveaways. But he's not played well enough to inspire confidence on a regular basis. His individual skillsets leave a lot to be desired.

Carolynn kind of looks like a dude tonight

Hopefully her creepy stalker leaves her alone then.

I think imagining - that would be akin to giving up Eucalyptus - the only food Koala can eat

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Lizotte is Ant-man

Every team is going to use it with a big lead like tonight. Otherwise I haven't seen it too much, just sporadically against the Avalanche. TM really likes it with a lead, so I don't see it going away. If he said that he probably meant as a go-to system.

Trevor Moore will be our 2021 Ondrej Palat in the playoffs

Just got caught up with the game. I think Lizotte was dropped about 7-8 seconds before the hit, didn't notice who. He got up and went back at it hard.

Thought everybody had strong moments. Good game, the air left the building after the injury to Vilardi, the missed boarding call and the Dubois powerplay goal in relatively quick succesion.

 

[lumbergh]

By seasons end Englund is going to win some of you over.

I did enjoy Englund giving Samberg a good smack. Solid game by him. Low event player, no points, +0. Well done.

What a Douchebag comment O Neil

 

[FrozenKing18]

Sounded like a great game! Missed it. Cant wait to see the highlights!

 

[aceofpace]

I have to admit. I feel better about the PLD trade after this game.

 

[kinghock]

We all like to criticize Blake but lets give him the credit tonight.
The cheaper option Talbot outplayed the much more expensive and rumored to be available in the offseason Hellebuyck.
Dubois scored. Vilardis health concerns. Iafallo was not noticeable. Kupari was Kupari.
Would love to believe wrong about Blakes supposed masterclass in roster construction.
If they get good goaltending that can keep them in games that will go a long way because they can score goals.
Winnipeg is a good matchup for them because they arent particularly fast nor physical.

Kupari was very good…

 

[deaderhead28]

The Kings kept it simple and good decisions with the puck, the game wasn't to fast for them tonight. Nice to see Dubois with the goal tonight. The team looked good.

? What'd he say

 

[deaderhead28]

 

[Fishhead]

Kupari was very good…

He was, but he did the same here. The guy puts himself in positions to score constantly but can't finish. You gotta figure he would have great jump tonight against his former team, and he did. But it's a good example of why he's a fantastic 4th liner/PK'er and not really a scorer.
