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

[SaltyElkHunter]

Spence looks like a child battling Carrick

Spence is a good 6th defenseman on a very shitty team

 

[Master Yoda]

Has LA had a tenth as many grade A chances as edm? Have they had any?

They've had like 3. Even the goals were not grade A chances.

 

[Sol]

My god 1-3-1 down by 4 in the third period. What is this lunacy lmaooo

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Rittich better be ready cause this is not working with Talbot he looks terrible and over plays plays looking silly as f***

 

[ref19]

crazy how bad the Faber trade wa.

He;d have 4 goals and 22 blocked shots tonight

 

[AbsentMojo]

Can someone ask at the season ticket holders thing who scouted Dubois and thoguht he was worth the assets and then the contract? That needs to have some answers

 

[Little Psycho]

So what are the GM options?

Blake and the next GM Bergevine really liked him.

 

[DoktorJeep]

I can’t come up with a bigger disaster than Dubois. This guy has eclipsed Roenick and Kovalchuk.

 

[funky]

Can we please just get past this series so we can fire Blake and start over.

How about we just send PLD home to await his buyout and play the kids Any overpaid vet that doesn’t like the direction can have their agent help find them a new team over the summer.

Build around Q like they should have.

 

[Sol]

crazy how bad the Faber trade wa.

would faber be the gm? You have dudes like Clarke riding pine when you have useless oafs like Roy and Englund doing nothing every game.

This is far from a roster issue when you get handedly piped by the oilers three years in a row with zero adjustment

 

[AbsentMojo]

The main thing thats wrong about the Kings is they beat the Hawks. Vegas deserved EDM.. and Stars deserved some easy fodder for round 1

 

[Nasti]

Get ready for the “it’s just one game” cliches after the game. But we all know better.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I can’t come up with a bigger disaster than Dubois. This guy has eclipsed Roenick and Kovalchuk.

Kovalchuk was fine; WD was the problem.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I hope they get trucked so hard in the series, Doughty asks to be traded.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

So what are the GM options?

Rope, pills, cyanide, Cobain, or my favorite spontaneous combustion.

 

[The Butcher]

He just needs a few more games to get going.

 

[AbsentMojo]

I can’t come up with a bigger disaster than Dubois. This guy has eclipsed Roenick and Kovalchuk.

For sure he is. Outside the Kings - Is he worse contract than Huberdeau? Thats what im chewing on

 

[Little Psycho]

Good news: we got bitch slapped in game 1 so it won’t give us any false confidence for the remaining of the series
Bad news: we got bitch slapped

 

[tny760]

So what are the GM options?

marc bergevin's biceps

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Hope the Kings can tighten it up in the D zone for Game 2. I don’t recall last years playoffs them being this loose.

 

[kingsholygrail]

For sure he is. Outside the Kings - Is he worse contract than Huberdeau? Thats what im chewing on

He is the worst contract in the NHL bar none.
