It's the same team season after season.
Maybe the Kings should stop giving up four goals every night.
i think he's been a very good facilitator and partner with fiala 5v5, they clearly have some chemistryAnyone have anything positive to say about Dubois game so far this season?
I know at least one poster who will call that a very successful season.Yep.
Issues are still the issues.
Outgoalied.
Out-special-teams-ed.
DEFINITELY outcoached.
It's not fixable. What you see is what you get. Good enough to beat non playoff teams, not good enough to beat a contender unless they have a bad night. Expect another 100 point season and first round out.
If not for the Sharks who are looking generationally bad, we have the most GA per game.
Extra aggravating is we remember the early but often (unfair) criticism that 55 only looked good when on the rush.Yeah I would at least give Byfield a shift in OT. NO. I mean he just went mach 4 during the game can you just imagine a wide open ice 3 on 3. At least a try yeah Todd. Kempe - Byfield in OT, two F22's might just work.
This is Byfield now that he's almost pecked his way out of his shellExtra aggravating is we remember the early but often (unfair) criticism that 55 only looked good when on the rush.
Well, 3x3 is all about the rush.
Still, no Todd.
I would give my left nut to see Byfield and Clarke on the ice for OT.
I don't think they were out-goalied tonight, I actually thought Talbot was the better of the two.Yep.

I know the first line is doing well, but I would consider swapping out Byfield and Laf. I see a lot of Iafallo's game in Lafreniere, he might help get Kempe going and Byfield might charge up PLD and Fiala.Kinda scary how much Kopitar at his age is such a proponent of whether or not the Kings win.
PLD looks so disengaged.
Kings give up odd man rushes way too often.
fiala is definitely not really playing like fiala, same goes for kempe. nice flash from kempe in OT thoughFiala doesn't look right, it's kind of frustrating. He looks slow, doesn't have his usual jump. Hopefully that's just getting going and not some underlying issue. At least he's getting points, but we need him to be roofing shots.
Byfield should be out in OT, no questions asked. I would go Kopitar/PLD, Kempe/Byfield, and Danault/Fiala right now. The PK was fantastic in OT, but I'd rather see a track meet. Who is going to keep up with Byfield and Kempe? That's a penalty drawing machine.
And I know a lot of us are upset right now, but 5 out of 6 points after back to back with ARI and FVGK is pretty good. Arizona always gives us fits.
I’d be open to that. Laf has a lot of good traits in his game but PLD being PLD I think it’d be good for him to get team mates like KopiI know the first line is doing well, but I would consider swapping out Byfield and Laf.

Fiala has to be injuredfiala is definitely not really playing like fiala, same goes for kempe. nice flash from kempe in OT though
i think kempe is the biggest issue and he definitely needs a shakeup with regards to linemates. overall team looks kinda.. "off" but they're getting points and winning games
i forget if it was sutter or todd that said he evaluates in 10-game chunks but i think it's a fair way to look at things right now
Vegas forces a lot of teams to play that way, so Kings aren't the only team that gets caught up in playing the VGK rush/counter rush game.Kinda scary how much Kopitar at his age is such a proponent of whether or not the Kings win.
PLD looks so disengaged.
Kings give up odd man rushes way too often.
He is because he's usually dominant in the o-zone when he has the puck on his stick blade.I’d be open to that. Laf has a lot of good traits in his game but PLD being PLD I think it’d be good for him to get team mates like Kopi
Fiala has to be injured
Kempe can be very streaky with his good goal scoring ability. He's just not gonna score goals consistently like Ovechkin has over the years.fiala is definitely not really playing like fiala, same goes for kempe. nice flash from kempe in OT though
