GDT: 2024-25 season game 32 LA Kings vs Philadelphia Flyers @4:30pm 12/19/24

For sure, although PK is a much better dresser. The dude had about 8k in threads and jewelry tonight

I did actually enjoy PK's fit breakdown segment, but man his hockey commentary can be grating.

I like him a lot in the studio

He was awful on the broadcast

Hey Hollywood, Vancouver fan here. Random question: Has Byfield always been a forward or was he a defenseman? Why do I remember him as a defenseman? Am I going crazy?

Agreed, keep him in the studio between periods and that's it. Reminds me of Brian Hayward in his heyday of homerism, even Fox sometimes too...

You're probably crazy. Go take your meds.

Holy, so he's always been a forward?

MEDS (yes drafted at center)

You're lost my friend. Back to BC you go.

 

[valkynax]

MEDS (yes drafted at center)

Got it!

 

[johnjm22]

Kopitar on pace for 95pts. The current iteration of Kempe might be the best sustained linemate he's ever had. That's clearly helping.

Turcotte has 5pts in 5games on this road trip.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Yea, we won, but the goals against, are not a good sign, just losing focus, leaving guys wide open to take a less dangerous guy, they need to tighten that up

 

[Omni Owl]

IMO Kempe is probably the MVP so far (Kopi a close 2nd), he more than passes the eye test and rarely makes mistakes. Plays at a high level on both sides of the ice and is f***in fast. Still a long way to go like Kopi was saying...

 

[King'sPawn]

Yeah. Obviously can't ever expect perfect hockey, but tonight was an example of them outscoring their problems, which is something they've not been able to do a whole lot in the past.

I was only able to listen to the first period but I was able to watch the second and third and it was a fun game to watch.

I really love the way Turcotte is playing.

This is the guy you move around the lineup to ignite lines. I just hope the kid can stay healthy as he’s showing what a number five overall draft pick should be doing when given the chance.

Not just on the goals, but they gave up lots of quality chances to the Flyers. I thought they played much cleaner in the 3rd though.

Kuemper is really getting by with his positioning along the ice. Will be interesting to see if shooters start going high more.

It is a good thing. He’s 6’5 and takes up a lot of the net. Too bad he injured his groin and miss some games. They’re still are times where it looks like both defense and Kuemper are trying to figure out the system or at least each other , but it is very close.

We just have to figure out this power play if this team is gonna keep going somewhere

Laferriere
Turcotte
Clarke
Helenius

All contributing more now.

Plus Foegle & Edmundson both playing well.

Minus Pierre Le Dud.

Combine all that and it's a big upgrade over last season. Even Lee and Thomas look decent when they get a chance. Need QB, Danault and Spence to play better.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Chaos hockey sure is fun, but may need a defibrillator if I'm going to watch many more of these.

Suban with a decent call. Didn't care for him much in the past. "Oh, there's a goal".

Torts not happy.

Konecny, got leveled by Kempe, Kopi & Seeler in the first 10 min. Kopi passing Konecny the puck & the only option Kopi has is to take the body to prevent the shot. Hilarious.

Edit: Honorable mention to Edmundson for dumping the rookie with a trip after the whistle.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Yeah. Obviously can't ever expect perfect hockey, but tonight was an example of them outscoring their problems, which is something they've not been able to do a whole lot in the past.

Agreed, there's mistakes, Clarke fumbling the puck, Kopitar passing, etc, but mistakes of focus, that has to be nipped.....

Not just on the goals, but they gave up lots of quality chances to the Flyers. I thought they played much cleaner in the 3rd though.

Hope so, I couldn't really focus on the 3rd, helping the kid close at work, so didn't focus too much on that,

Holy, so he's always been a forward?

Spence has been playing well for a month now

Don't hate!

I don't think he's playing as well as he was last season.

 

[Choralone]

Missed the game - the first half of the comments made it sound like I missed the worst game in the world. Then things got ok, I guess.

 

[fsanford]

10-0

Not too bad. 10 goals total just a slight variance in distribution

 

[Sol]

I just read a bit of the Flyers board and they were completely dumb founded by PKs unrelenting ass kissing lmaooo
