GDT: 2024-25 season game 21 LA Kings vs Seattle Kraken @1:00pm 11/23/24

Copley saved the season for them, and got no playoff starts.

That is where Kuemper comes into the playoff picture. Can't rely on Rittich to be the playoff goalie.

 

[unicornpig]

PLD is on pace with a 56 point season.

washington is on the top of scoring. hes getting points just through by osmosis.

 

[Bandit]

Pass that Foegele you dope.

I just like to set the record straight, that TMac message had gone stale and Hiller is worse with his system handcuffing the rosters offense ability so much. A good GM would have brought in a coach that could tap more into the offensive capabilities this roster potentially has. Even though the Kings are my 2nd favorite team, it's very frustrating how they are not scoring goals from their top players consistently.


I still also have faith in Copley. His SV% wasn't ever great but he had the it factor winning games with this roster.

Copley has not looked good in Ontario.

Part of the reason Portillo was recalled, along with a light schedule.

He probably won't get a start unless Camper is not back for b2b's at end of the month.

I like Hiller but the last stretch has been rough.

You fired TMAC in season so naturally Hiller was a good choice.

He was tasked with stopping the tailspin and making the playoffs.

Only to lose to the West Champ, with some serious talent and the best PP in history.

Hiller earned a shot for one season and saved money while you are still funding the removed Koala cage.

With Ovi out it will be test time for PLD.

You don't even follow the Caps closely, so don't assess how he's getting his points!

Disagree. Hiller is not getting the most out of his forward lines. As it turns out, the Oilers have fizzled. Their D and goaltending is below average. You can't have a high powered offense mask your teams deficiencies for so long.

9 goals 1/4 mark is 36 pace.

Your diagnosis is correct and it not just pld.

It's any trigger derangement.

True but its too soon and too many W's to fire him.

He needs to keep the blender off, it's not happy hour every game and it looks like he is settling down with the current lines.

We'll see. All I know is Kings coaching is not getting the best from QB, because he's getting handcuffed/worrying about making a defensive mistake too much.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Another weak call against

Everyone knows how he’s getting his points. Same as his entire career: like a lazy bitch.

I think QB is flipping the switch right now.

Sometimes the Kings demanding defensive competency from young players causes temporary problems but pays dividends in the end.

Example being Kempe, all around stud now developed elite offense.

Damn Dave deserved better

Damn Dave deserved better

Wait til he gets the L.

 

[head eyes]

Why did Edmunson hit Spence's stick away?

 

[DoktorJeep]

Some primo garbage time hockey been played since Seattle pulled their goalie.

 

[SherVaughn30]

As I said, would the Kings get a 3rd goal before the Kraken cuts it in half. The is answer is no. Now Kings will scramble to hold on for the win.

 

[unicornpig]

oh jeez just let turc play.....

Not what Sher's comments indicate.

Why not have a discussion for a change?

 

[Telos]

Knew we were going to give one up. Something about that game was unlucky as hell.

 

[unicornpig]

good game. nice to see the kings match the physicality for a change.
rittich played well again, playoffs start tomorrow he's my starter.

 

[BigBrown]

Boring but solid win.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Kings are definitely better than the Kraken.
