GDT: 2023-24 season Game 5 LA Kings vs Boston Bruins @7:30pm 10/21/23

[LeftKinger]

Swayman played great. Bruins capitalized on their chances. Kings squandered powerplays. GG

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

It'd be real nice if this team got the memo they're allowed to win games at home

 

[kingsfan28]

Both Lafs scored tonight... at the same time.

 

[kingsfan28]

Kopitar with a rough night. -3

 

[SettlementRichie10]

So what are the odds Byfield is still with Kempe-Kopitar by Thanksgiving?

 

[shuchukfan]

It was like a giant fart descended over the rink and never cleared out

I think it was just Boston fans. Hard to tell the difference.

You mean Quintin Boylefield? Id say the odds are good since adjust concept is not in Koala semantic net. Kempe will start scoring soon enough so the line wont be as suspect.

 

[FrozenKing18]

Swayman was on tonight. Kings really need to capitalize on the powerplay.

100%

Kings need to pry one of the Boston goalies away

 

[tny760]

are we saying the same about byfield if he buries one or both of that grade A secondary chance or the crossbar late?

i know it's gotta translate to points SOMETIME but he wasn't the problem tonight

He wasnt the problem.. but he's never the solution

 

[kingsboy11]

Just one of those nights. Couldn't score early and couldn't get past Swayman once they took the lead. Really happy Laffy got his first, got a nice reception from the fans after he scored

Powerplay hasn't really clicked to start this year. It's been alright, but tonight was a night we should've taken advantage of the number of powerplays especially that 5 on 3 to start the game.

He looks like the best player on that line right now. So maybe theyll put him on a line with guys playing better.

 

[King'sPawn]

Well, a couple issues were exposed today:
- the Kings beating average teams but can't beat great teams.
- solid goaltending nullified center depth.

Yep.

Not really the night to tee off on Byfield when there are far more experienced players doing nothing but passing to the other team right now.

Well, a couple issues were exposed today:
- the Kings beating average teams but can't beat great teams.
- solid goaltending nullified center depth.

So, the usual, but with more cap!

 

[Johnny Utah]

This is going to be a long year of Englund is the only one pushing back. Was at the game the Bruins have a pack mentality.

Talbot let in a bad one.

Byfield can’t finish.

Same old….

 

[Sol]

Byfield really needs to become a better player today. This is unacceptable.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Kopitar with a rough night. -3

Rought first star of the game tonight.



Perhaps I am missing something with the comments about Alexis Lafrenière and Alex Lafferiere from over the years.

Both names seem quite different to me.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Anyone recall the last time the Kings defeated the Bruins in regulation? The big guns did not show up tonight.

 

[DyslexicTom]

Byfield really needs to become a better player today. This is unacceptable.

I think the guy they're paying $5.5 million should score some goals and not try to cheat up the ice when they're down 1-3.

 

[FeartheFur]

Bullshit

 

[Johnny Utah]

The Danault line bothers me for some reason. Just no jam on that line.

 

[Bandit]

.840 didn’t get the job done? Weird.

Byfield was better than Kempe/Kopitar yesterday…
