GDT: 2023-24 season Western Conference Quarter Finals LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers Game 1

[Choralone]

Next time he needs to use his dick to deflect the puck instead.

 

[The Butcher]

There should be a no distinct punching motion rule or some shit

 

[kingsboy11]

I get why they disallowed it, but I feel like disallowing it is against the spirit of the rule. It's to prevent players from swiping at the puck and it goes in, but that's clearly not what happened there and it looks like it just hit him

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

Fiala dubois byfield line hasnt sniffed the ice this period. Like the other lines are playing so well.

They just had a shift enjoyed seeing pld horse after 97

 

[Sol]

I’m sick and tired of Kopitar and Doughty when will this god forsaken era f***ing end

 

[123slam]

That is such a "f*** you" call and I don't know why we deserve it

 

[FrozenKing18]

barely tuning in. His eyes were closed for christs sake. I mean if his eyes were open, i can see why it would be waived off

 

[Herby]

He has no business being in the lineup over Clarke...

See my previous post on the subject, the Kings aren't going to play a 21 year old with 55 AHL games over a 23 year old with 200 combined NHL and AHL games.

The Kings are not a meritocracy when it comes to player development or the hiring of staff members.

Has PLD even taken a shift?

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Has PLD even taken a shift?

PLD has been one of the best players for LA.....not setting the bar high when that happens

 

[DoktorJeep]

As bad as this one is, somehow Vegas has 4 goals on 14 shots.

 

[Sol]

I want whatever Jim is snorting. He makes it sound like the Kings are doing anything right.

 

[BaileyFan]

Has PLD even taken a shift?

Figures that we were begging for him to be benched all season and now that his line is the only one worth half a shit tonight he can’t sniff the ice.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Even funnier thinking Trevor Lewis could actually hit the net on purpose

 

[ru4reals]

Can I change my vote to Oilers in 3?

Vote didn't have the option of Oilers after one game so I guess I went with Oilers in 4.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Edmonton doesn’t look good the king are just f***ing terrible

 

[Herby]

PLD seems pretty engaged, but still looks pretty bad. This is very concerning because it makes it more possible that this season is more loss of skill than lack of effort (which has been an issue his whole career) or bad luck.

 

[Martyros]

I could've sworn Frolov was no longer in the NHL, he seems to be posing as this dude "Pee-EL" Dubois.

He looked like a fourth line player that last shift. Oh wait, never mind.

 

[Sol]

Byfield makes a standard play and Jim busts. Get a grip lmao

 

[SlimCharles]

Okay we got it!

 

[7even]

Calculated

 

[Telos]

That Toronto disallowed goal is gonna f*** us, but at the same time our defense and goaltending already has...

 

[fsanford]

That was a nice play by Byfield

 

[ru4reals]

That's Byfield's goal baby.
