GDT: 2024-25 season game 12 LA Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks @1:00pm 11/2/24

[Ziggy Stardust]

This is the expected result with an average hockey team with an average performance against a below average team.

 

[Gjwrams]

another game and my profile pic is still appropriate.

Kings only have one win against a good team, and it was mostly because VGK had an off night.

Same can be said about LA and an off night vs. Vegas & Toronto. We could go on like this for a while.

Read this a lot lately but you can only gain points vs. the teams you face.

Carrlyn seriously calling for a “pitch clock” on shootout dangles

Just f***ing embarrassing, burn it all down please, sorry for collateral damage like Stoll but this franchise is irredeemably trash right now

She is a joke. Stopped watching any of the intermission talking heads. When Bick retires I may be forced to watch the games on mute.

The Kings are an average team.

They need to stop wasting time and rebuild.

 

[ibleedkings]

What happened to Patrick O? Can’t listen to much more of her.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Yes they are, middle of the pack.

I do think we are losing games while being better.

 

[kingsboy11]

We've lost to 2 of the worst teams in the NHL and managed to beat a cup contending team all in the same week.

This is par for the course for this team

 

[SherVaughn30]

Wasn't able to watch the game, but saw the highlight's. 1st 2 Hawks goals, Kuemper has to prevent/stop! Kings have to protect that front slot area better to hold onto the win. Kuemper was also 0-3 in the shootout. Overall, Kuemper lost this game today and not the team, as 2-0 and 3-2 leads were plenty to win this one against a still bottom Hawks team. After beating Vegas 6-3, this one was a big let down.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Sharks, Vegas, Hawks, 0.500 hockey!!!

Scoring sucks
Closing games out sucks
OT sucks
Hiller sucks

Lewis shot into the crest reminded me of this x post

I'll take 1,000 games before 100. It's going to be close

 

[ru4reals]

Not that it mattered but did I see the defensive juggernaut Trevor F**king Lewis out there in that empty net goal? Missed most of the game but caught it towards the end when the Kings were up 3-2 and I could have sworn I saw 61 out there. This team is special....special Olympics.

She is terrible.

If you see a Kings player fall down on the ice, it's always Lewis!

 

[SherVaughn30]

I heard Jim Fox say the 2nd Hawks goal was a good shot. Strongly disagree! While shooters are now taught to shoot low but just above the leg pad, goalies at the same time are trained on how to handle that type of shot. Really gets me when Jim Fox covers up/comes up with an excuse instead of the obvious reason. Kuemper just didn't make the save that was possible.

From what I'm seeing, does Kuemper appear to have some nagging injury because he looks slow on some of his movements?

 

[tigermask48]

Turcotte and Laffy are both dogs on the puck. Why those guys aren’t out in late situations I have no idea.

Oh... I think you (and most of us) know exactly why.

 

[shuchukfan]

I was avoiding spoilers about the game today so I could watch it tonight, then a coworker came up and told me the Kings suck. I just figured it was a statement, but then she said they lost in a shootout to Chicago. Well, thanks for saving my night!

 

[tigermask48]

Since it was Chicago, please allow me to paraphrase what I wish Byfield, Turc, Laf, and Clarke said in the post game presser:

Trevor Lewis, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this because before we all go off to play for competent NHL franchises, We have a lot of things we want to get off our chest.

We don’t hate you, Trevor. We don’t even dislike you. We do like you. We like you a hell of a lot more than we like most people in this franchise.

We hate this idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not. We're the best. WE are the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than we are and that’s kissing Rob Blake’s ass.

You’re as good at kissing Blake’s ass as Kopitar is. We don’t know if you’re as good as Drew though. He’s a pretty good ass kisser. Always was and still is.

Whoops! We're breaking the fourth wall!

[waves to the camera]

We are the best hockey players in the world.

We’ve been the best ever since day one when we walked into this company. And we've been vilified and hated since that day, because Mark Yannetti saw something in us that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right, we are Mark Yanetti guys. You know who else was a Mark Yanetti guy? Brock Faber. And he was given away just like we'll be given away. But the biggest difference between us and Brock is we are going to leave with smiles on our faces.

We've grabbed so many of Rob Blake’s brass rings that it’s finally dawned on us that they're just that, they’re completely imaginary. The only thing that’s real is us and the fact that day in and day out, since we were drafted by this team, we have proven to everybody in the world that we are the best in this franchise, on that blueline, at wing or at center! Nobody can touch us!

And yet no matter how many times we prove it, we're not on your lovely little collector cups. We're not on the cover of the program. We're barely promoted. We don't get ice time when it matters. We're certainly aren't on any crappy dog calendars. We aren'teven considered a part of this "core". We aren't on the signature that’s produced at the start of the games. We're not on Conan O’Brian. We're not on Jimmy Fallon. But the fact of the matter is, we should be.

And trust me, this isn’t sour grapes. But the fact that Drew and Kopitar are still the core of this franchise and we aren't not makes us sick!

Oh hey, let us get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now, you are just as big a part of us leaving as anything else. Because you’re the ones who are paying to watch these games right now. You’re the ones that buy those programs that our face isn’t on the cover of. And then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in our face so you can get an autograph and try to sell it on eBay because you’re too lazy to go get a real job.

We are leaving when our contracts are up. And hell, who knows, maybe we will get traded before that for some washed up scrub. Maybe… We'lljust get to collect money from the press box.
[Punk looks at the camera and waves]

Hey, Arthur Kaliev, how you doing?

The reason we're leaving is you people. Because after we're gone, you’re still going to pour money into this team. We are just a spoke on the wheel. The wheel is going to keep turning and we understand that. Luc Robitaille and Rob Blake are going to destroy this franchise. He’s think they are contenders when they should be a building around us. You know why they don'tbuild arpund us? Because they surround themselves with glad-handed, nonsensical, douchebag yes men, like Jim Hiller who are going to tell them everything they want to hear, and we’d like to think that maybe this company will be better after Rob Blake is gone. But the fact is, it’s going to be taken over by his idiot Marc Bergevin and that doofus Marco Sturm and the rest of this incompetent front office.

Let us tell you a personal story about Rob Blake alright? We do this whole [anti] bully campaign... [mic cuts out]

Probably does depending on what kept him out earlier.

 

[Surf Nutz]

Really makes me laugh at the people complaining about Laf playing up so much in the lineup in pre-season

Guilty as charged!

And very happy about it!

 

[Surf Nutz]

The same people talking shit about Laf were the same people creaming over 0 goal Byfield

Byfield will heat up again just freaking leave him at center Hiller and out of your mouth Sole

 

[chris kontos]

Keep your chin up arthur kaliyev. You will get your shot. If not in this mess it will happen. And when you're scoring 30 goals a season you can look back on how they tried to run you off and tell you you werent right despite the fact youve fit and been a scorer and good teamate everywhere else youve been. With great satisfaction youll know it was never you, it was the martinets and the people here who truly were not trying to form a winning team, but only maintaining thecost control boys club

 

[The Butcher]

She is terrible.

I want to post about her almost every night. She seems like a very nice person so I don't like piling on...

But she is not a hockey broadcaster, I've given her a chance. She would be perfect hosting a children's game show or something.

I didn’t make it through this.

 

[chris kontos]

Last season i always referred to her as the bride of frankenstien but people got mad at that...
if im not mistaken her dad played in the nhl and luc did the family a favor by hiring her.
Shes annoying and i opt out of watching her and ecstasy boy.
