GDT: 2023-24 season game 58 LA Kings vs Calgary Flames @6:00pm 2/27/24

Not expecting much honestly. This team is hit with the injury bug, 3 key players out just hoping for points. Back end of a back to back just be competitive I guess.

I’m sorry to say but Kempe was not moving the needle one way or another. He’s been invisible and a non factor pretty much the whole season. Only reason he’s producing is because he’s on the first line. At no point did I watch Kempe this year and thought individually he was getting shit done. In the pre season he was on fire until he got injured and hasn’t been the same since.

I don’t see any reason why Kaliyev, a sniper, can’t take his spot and at worse produce a little worse than him.

Kempe leads the team in scoring with 51pts.

The kids shine tonight and are subsequently benched

Kings win 3-2

Turcotte with 3 points

don't know how i feel about that kopi-byfield-PLD line, but i don't know how i feel about this game at all

 

[kingsboy11]

full lines

 

[tny760]

not sure why they don't swap lizotte and turc but i guess that's about the best you can do if you commit to PLD on the wing

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Those top two lines are gonna get 22 min each

 

[dman3474]

lets see how long these lines last. The bottom six is rough

 

[AbsentMojo]

no clark.. and to put turcotte with those two scrubs is an insult to all 5OA draftees

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

“They’re 30th on the pp”

f***

Can already see “we need more from Turcotte” when he plays 6 minutes repeatedly feeding Lewis who never met a crest he didn’t like and JAD who is going for the hard-around from The slot

Kempe has been waaaaaaaaay more impactful than Fiala, who you are always quick to defend on here.

For a team that lacks high-end offensive talent, losing a player who averaged 38 goals the last two seasons and was leading the team in scoring this season is indeed a big loss.

Team is struggling to score and you scratch a kid that will blow your mind if you let him. The pairs are scrambled eggs regardless ..and Moverare is not much of a defensive improvement over Clarke.

Took a spill with the goalie pulled and immediately went to the lockerroom and it looked like he was holding his wrist.

Shite!

Yeah but does he stickhandle really fast?

Turcotte is gonna have a hard night with the Lewis twins on his line

Without Kempe,I like what Hiller is doing here with the rest of the line up...hope Adrian gets back soon

 

[Choralone]

Who's fattest on the team? I'll type "pork" when they score.

I'm not too optimistic about the Kings having a puncher's chance in the playoffs at this point, if they've lost one of their scoring fists. (And I'm not a "just get in the playoffs and magic can happen" kind of person anyway).

Blake must have felt a lead balloon in his gut when he saw Kempe skating off the ice holding his arm the other night and probably got to work on updating his Linked-In profile.

 

[chris kontos]

Just would like to see some compete and intensity

 

[The Pale King]

Incoming Mango Giapane hattrick, heard it hear first.

 

[tigermask48]

Can watch this game or the replay of the Dodgers ST game... Tough call. Lol.

 

[The Pale King]

Stonehands! Impressive he didn't score that there.

I love Lewey but like 96% of the players in the league score there.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Thought Lewis scored there

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Talbot just took himself out with no one around lol

Some real slippery ice up there in Calgary
