GDT: 2024-25 season game 3 LA Kings vs Ottawa Senators @10:00am (Again) 10/14/24

[Sol]

I missed half the game and the Kings got lit up? Jesus. Wtf. lol

 

[kingsfan28]

OTT made 2 changes, Fiala was out there the entire time.

So it's your fault?

You had one job to do Sol!

 

[Herby]

We're not going to win any OT games this year. lol

The Kings would seem to be at a disadvantage vs. most teams in a 3 on 3, that is for sure. It really favors teams with big-time stars.

 

[kingsholygrail]

How are they gonna respond to this on Wednesday?
That'll be the first real test for the new coaching staff

Wednesday is our first regulation loss.

 

[Gjwrams]

f***! Just take point and get on the plane and meet up with rest of our defense already in the next city. Garbage

 

[King'sPawn]

But playoff games count, they go into the record books, players contracts are effected by them, team and player legacies are largely defined by them. Not the case with pre-season, where none of the regular players care at all.

Pre-season games don't go into the record books, at the end of the day they are just scrimmages that give them extra gate revenue more than anything else, like when European soccer teams come over here to play. There are numerous interviews with players across all different professional sports leagues who pretty clearly say how they feel about them. Heck, many NFL teams don't play their starters at all in pre-season, and the ones that do it's maybe a series or two for one of the games, and that league is doing just fine.

There's more to preseason than revenue. Even if some players don't like it, it helps players get their legs under them. Body checks and puck touches is part of the process to get inbgame shape.

NFL players get a lot of body contact and don't have the boards to absorb the impact. They are a lot more likely to get injured due to the type of contact they get. It's really not applicable or the same.

Kings didn't deserve a point today.

They should be 0-2-1.

 

[kingsfan28]

We're not going to win any OT games this year. lol

Not with Fiala starting the OT.

 

[BigKing]

Right back to looking like the end of the Petersen era but fortunate to have no goaltending from the opponent.

4v4 and 3v3 continue to be horrific.

What a hit though.

 

[kingsholygrail]

At least we killed a few of them before leaving.

 

[BigBrown]

What a shitshow of a game, lmao. Take the point and run.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Get him as many f***ing points as you can by US Thanksgiving and trade his ass for a couple 1sts and a prospect. Dude is brain dead!

 

[kingsfan28]

A 3 on 1 in OT and don't get a shot, Norris wins it moments later.

 

[KingsofLA]

Why does QB and Fiala need a good defensive forward? Because Fiala has no Defensive IQ. And no, Lewis is not the answer. Hiller has some adjustments to make. but the season is young and time is on his side

That Faber kid would be a good add to this team

 

[Herby]

Byfield among with Spence and also Clarke, worst on the ice BY FAR. Byfield the worst of them easily tho

It isn't easy going from wing to center. I was a bit surprised how many people on this board made it seem like it was going to be a walk in the park adjustment, it's way easier going the other way. Just a lot more to worry about playing center, especially in a defense oriented system like the Kings. This is stuff he should have gone through 3 or 4 years ago.

He will gradually improve, but I don't think there is any chance he passes Kopitar as a center at any point this season. So because of foolish development decisions, a player you took #2 overall in the 2020 draft, probably won't be challenging to be the teams 1C until the 2025/2026 season, another wonderful development decision by Blake, Nelly and Muzz.

 

[JackieDaytona]

Pretty sure that was the most f***ed up game I’ve ever watched.

 

[The Butcher]

It was sad that a team got to win that game.

 

[onlyalad]

That was like a Jr High game.
Not really upset but the reviewed goals should have either both counted or both not counted.
15 goals in one game:a Bettman dream

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Missed the 2nd and 3rd period,

There were reviewed goals? Anyone can link me? Love to see those

 

[King'sPawn]

We can always follow prospects after a shit game like today.

Greentree has assists on all three of Windsor's goals. That puts him at 15 points on the season in his 7th game.

This was a classic Fiala game: 2 goals, -2, costly penalty, and responsible for the game-losing goal.

No Doughty to call him out in the media postgame so dude is living his best life.

 

[Guitpik]

I guess this is what Blake considers “tough to play against”.

The guy is a pretty consistent net-negative for the teams chances of success.

It has no chances of changing with the leadership group on the roster, imo.
