GDT: 2023-24 season game 45 LA Kings vs Buffalo Sabres @7:30pm 1/24/24

Laferriere actually reminds me of a young Lewis. I could see Laferriere being a mainstay on our fourth line when Arvidsson comes back.

Not sure what LA does when Arvidsson comes back but Laferriere looks better and better

 

[chris kontos]

Clarke should be in every game

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Arvidsson is 5x the player laferriere is

I may have missed it but wasn’t Rittich supposed to start tonight?

laf gets sent down since he's waiver exempt i'm betting

then again blake could waive kaliyev and lose him for nothing for all i know

 

[kilowatt]

When Arvidsson comes back:

Fiala - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Byfield - Kaliyev
Dubois - Danault - Arvidsson
Grundstrom - Lizotte - Laferriere
JAD, Lewis

 

[dman3474]

i the kings can get a nice young player for Roy at the trade deadline I think they should pull the trigger

Something around Roy and Talbot/Rittich for UPL and a pick!

With LA losing so many prospects Mike Yannetti must be pulling out what remaining hair he has left

Fiala - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Byfield - Kaliyev
Dubois - Danault - Arvidsson
Grundstrom - Lizotte - Laferriere
JAD, Lewis

Lizzo can go.

just to be clear, there was an earthquake during the kopitar tribute?

 

[chris kontos]

Pld for hart

 

[Shellz]

just to be clear, there was an earthquake during the kopitar tribute?

Yes

 

[VILARGOD]

All I know is Arvy's got that dog in him. Relentless, high energy, drags the team back into games. Not the answer to all our problems but he's more than his .75ppg shows

 

[King'sPawn]

got it but cmon man, its a no brainer.. that reach to guard the seam passes.. Laf is good too def has the defensive iq

While Byfield has very good speed and acceleration, I do think the requisite explosiveness to block incoming passes is a limitation in his repertoire at this current time. I wouldn't hate Byfield on the PK, but I'm more than okay with Laferriere doing that.

I love Kopitar, but I wonder how much more he'd score if he could have had more rest and not having to play so much on the PK in his career.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Lol they keep replaying kempe's goal. What a shit effort by dahlin, we'd eject him into the sun for that if he was a king

 

[chris kontos]

Dahlin the all star

 

[FrozenKing18]

just to be clear, there was an earthquake during the kopitar tribute?

Yes

The tribute was actually a summoning of old spirits to help us win.

 

[chris kontos]

Like alot of sabres, dahlin got the size and skill and its like what happened?
Tony granato's bro is on thin ice there
Hope tony's doin ok

Skinner's another one
What happened?

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Fiala need to get benched again?

 

[tny760]

Fiala need to get benched again?

monkey brain kicks in when he's skating the wrong direction

 

[chris kontos]

Tony granato battling cancer. All good wishes and the best for him. As tough a player as tony was he'll beat cancer to a pulp!

 

[Little Psycho]

 

[kingsfan28]

that was awful by JAD

 

[tny760]

certified jad moment

 

[ru4reals]

JAD showing how not to pass. LOL.
