GDT: 2024-25 season game 1 LA Kings vs Buffalo Sabres @4:00pm 10/10/24

[Sol]

this team is just not good and we all knew that. Either the Kings are that bad or the Sabres are just good.

This is pretty much a one goal game due to Kuemper.

Kings are completely outmatched

 

[The Butcher]

 

[BaileyFan]

Gonna have to move my predicted date that Hiller goes back to Byfield-Kopitar-Kempe and the 1-3-1 from Christmas up to Halloween.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Good news is, they can only improve from here.

 

[lumbergh]

Boring team playing boring hockey. Worst power play I’ve seen; beer league quality. Personnel is all wrong, can’t even outshoot the Sabres a man up.

 

[bland]

Byfield is playing high event hockey

He seemed far more interested in a breakaway than in killing that penalty.

 

[Johnny Utah]

The Sabres are young and quick.

The Kings have Kopitar, Lewis and Edmundson who are combined 100 years old.

 

[Sol]

Don’t worry I’m sure the Kings broadcast has an interview with Yannetti lined up to glaze him for no reason

 

[SherVaughn30]

Kuemper is showing up, but where is this teams offense? The talent is there, but I don't think Hiller is a good enough coach to tap into that offensive talent.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Good news, all four of our next opponents look like they’re gonna win tonight.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

QB obviously (and correctly) feels like he's gotta do everything, makes a dumb play

Kopitar is a 2C level player now, Edmundson is better than you think if he is paired up right, Lewis is washed up so I agree with that.

 

[Bandit]

Can we go back to the preseason?

I’d rather fast forward to the offseason.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Sabers got nothing from those 2 overseas games vs the Devils, so they coming out with a purpose in this game. Doesn't look like Hiller had his team prepared for this game.

 

[LeftKinger]

Kind of a trap game. Sabres lost two and had to sit with that for a week. Potentially going 0-3 for the home opener is reason enough to be extra motivated. I’m willing to chalk this one if they lose. At least Kuemper looks good.

With Fiala,Moore and Danault

 

[LeftKinger]

Turcottes talent is wasted on the fourth line. I want him at center but wouldn’t mind him on wing if it means he’s on a scoring line.

Sounds like wishful thinking to call it a trap game
On the season opener when the Kings always lose here.

If anything it should have been a trap game for the sabres

higher...much higher (105)

 

[King'sPawn]

Even though the Sabres have their legs under them a bit more, having played a couple games, the Kings just aren't even taking shots or creating danger around the net. Trying too hard for the perfect pass/play.

Bingo.....they aren't taking what's there.....need to simplify, skate, shoot, hit, simple.

 

[fsanford]

Kings in Buffalo has been a bit of a house of horrors. But tonight Kings are lead actor in this movie vs Buffalo

 

[DoktorJeep]

Morongo vs Pechanga, who wins?

Kind of a Kings tradition not being prepared for games.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

3rd line could be Turc,Foegele and Laferriere

Kind of a Kings tradition not being prepared for games.

Like someone said earlier Byfield with Kopi and Kempe and... Fiala with Moore and Danault...please
