GDT: 2024-25 season game 23 LA Kings vs Winnipeg Jets @7:00pm 11/27/24

[Telos]

Solid win. Of course they would, team decisions have been justified again. Hopefully it continues, but what then trip in Anaheim... GKG all the same!

 

[chris kontos]

GG
GREAT effort esp defensively

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

You all know what this dominating win will translate to. A loss to the Ducks on Friday.

 

[AbsentMojo]

I think WPG laid an egg as much as the Kings played hard.. Wpg been in a mini slump. I guess takeaway is - blend the lines since none of them have had chem all season.

I don't think they play such a dominant game if they didn't get blown the f*** out by the Sharts. Jeannot especially had a strong game, love seeing him stick up for Q after that boarding. That's what we were missing all of last year and I agreed with Fox for once, that's not a bad penalty to take.

At least there will be left overs?

 

[FSL KINGS]

Vilardi taking & winning face-offs.
If he put that work in with the King's, he'd still be here.

I knew this team would win because this team doesn't make any sense. I'm pretty sure I've said it before, but I'll give this team credit they usually bounce back after bad losses. Now if they could turn that into a winstreak that would be preferable instead of this win-loss-win-loss-win pattern

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

They had mentioned on the telecast that hiller was using those lines to emphasize certain guys as F1 on the forecheck and in that light they make more sense and it was certainly noticaeable

that was by far jeannot's best game as a King, he was making his presence felt in every which way

it also got Moore and Danault driving the net harder as well

Fiala was quiet on the unforced error front

Step in the right direction for some guys who have been really fighting it

 

[johnjm22]

Gonna win just enough games to stay in the black hole.

 

[The Butcher]

I'm not buying any of this

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

If this team had a clinical diagnosis it would be schizophrenia!

 

[KingPuckChoo]

What's causing all these teams to shoot below 20?

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Is the PLD trade the worst in NHL history?

Top 5 for the Kings, horrible trade for LA.

Faber for Fiala is not in the same ballpark.

This year looks more like an outlier than anything else. Still a career 47 pct on the dots.

Nothing about the trade made sense. Vilardi was better than PLD at faceoffs at the time of the trade going by career faceoff %. Kupari was even better.

When I first heard the rumor and that MTL was also reported making an offer and the names floated were Vilardi and Iafallo and possibly another player… and it seemed to be gaining traction, I hoped the Canadiens would get him.
I then heard Kupari could be the other. At that point I hoped they had to add Brendan Dillon.

Then, suddenly it goes down and I saw the #2 that was acquired from the yotes. And I think I threw something. That made it so much worse. #37 OA. Close to a first round. So they lost Durzi too. Effffing atrocious. The Jets chose Alfons Freij, who may up being a very good defenseman

The Kings should have told them they were not adding a pick. And let them mull that over. Still wouldn’t do that deal, w/o the pick. Call their bluff if they said another team was offering more.
It’s not like Dubois was Eichel.

 

[Omni Owl]

I remember Vilardi being understandably salty as f*** when he got traded. Now he most likely gets to have the last laugh playing on a Cup contending team. Blake gave up way too much for Dubois, an embarrassing amount. I always wondered if Vilardi would have been on the chopping block if it weren't for his injury troubles...

Doubtful.

Blake was swooning for PLD. I think anyone not named Byfield or Clarke was available.

 

[CarlSneep]

They weren’t a consistent line but Turcotte & Laferriere were out there a handful of times together and they looked amazing.

 

[jtalton]

Vilardi scored half as many goals as PLD on the year in this game.

 

[Schrute farms]

Gabe scores on the PP and the Kings win -- pretty good night.
Kings continue their Jekyll & Hyde season. Doesn't bode well for the Ducks game tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Herby]

The previous 3 years the Kings never lost to bad teams but lost almost every game to good ones, now they have become a box of chocolates team, you never know what you are going to get. The fact that they are beating good teams is a bigger positive than losing to bad teams is a negative.

 

[FeartheFur]

I like the Forest Gump reference. I don’t know what to think about this team. Sometimes they suck, but sometimes they are good. When is Drew coming back? Must be close…
