kings definetly need help offensively

 

[kingsfan28]

I love the strategy with the goalie pulled. Just keep passing until you find the perfect shot.

Yeah, I'm sure I wasn't the only one yelling "shoot you f-ing morons!"

When do the playoffs start?
L8r

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

What I don't understand is why some teams have to play back to back on consecutive nights and while other teams sit and wait...that fkced up

Protas the Scrotas is going to score 30-35 goals this year

Where's Moore again

Turcotte is 10x the player fiala is

Easy pal

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

refs ain't calling shit tonight, they already decided

only 2 penalties have been automatics

Something stunk tonight and it wore Zebra stripes

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Honestly, 4-5words sum the game up, and the state of the offense...

SHOOT THE f***ING PUCK STUPID.

Simple as that, they do that, their offense will turn around.....these f***ing morons are passing up shots in the slot, for shots on the boards and then wondering why they aren't scoring, go back to your f***nig roots, skate, shoot, hit, pass, it's not rocket science, it's not hard.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Burroughs up to 6 minutes from 5 last game! Either he's earned extra ice time or got stuck out in the Dzone for an unexpectedly lengthy shift.

The other side is PL completely shutting down the King's top line. Got to give some credit to Washington here.

Washington played ok, they shouldn't have won..but with the way LA played, they definitely shouldn't have won, comes down to someone has to.

They didn't shut down LA as much as LA f***ed themselves with stupidity.

Don't expect much more when it's the 4th game in six nights on the road.

Time to get rest and prepare for Edmonton.

Yea that was a scheduled loss no matter who it was against and it just so happened to be the Caps who Ive seen easily handle top teams this year. Neither team played great as they are banged up and ready for the holiday.
I thought theyd have lost in a worse fashion.
Also have to say Clarke in the 3rd with the leash off was great. They should let him loose.

They need to be ok with his inevitable f***ups, the other night gave up the breakaway, had shit position on a goal against, they need to be ok with those, and teach him and work with him to iron those bumps out,

I keep watching him on the PP and the comparison for me isn't Doughty, it's Durzi.....Clarke is more dynamic, but Durzi I feel is a better player at keeping the puck in and reading the play, therefore he can move the puck better. Clarke isn't there yet, but he clearly hasn't reached his ceiling either.

Yea the thing is he has those f*** ups even when hes playing conservative so may as well start letting him roam. Durzi is a good comparable but Clarke is so smooth. Durzi was a bit of an adventure even when hed pull it off. Durzi had so much confidence though.

Glad this ridiculously scheduled road trip is over. Its too bad Jeannot didn't repeatedly run Dubios but even he was gassed...

You could put any top point getting player in the league, in this lineup and the scoring wouldn't be that much better. Hiller's system is the problem. Too many offensive skilled players on the team have inconsistent production numbers. Once again Byfield disappeared...

That game against the Oilers might not be a good one for the Kings. Oilers are getting back into rhythm winning like last season. Kings scoring even strength and on the PP, is still a mess at times.

Even if it wasn't back2back or 4 in 6 nights, you think Hiller is gonna have some of the players check PLD hard? Hiller is soft coach, just as TMac was.

Lauzon ran 3 guys yesterday hard.. and Jeannot had 0 hits in the entire game. What is he afraid of hitting his old teammates? So maybe Jeannot is not feeling well, cant anyone else stand up? I expect more physicality from jeannot since he has the hockey IQ of an ant. I expect more physicallity from the entire team not just Jeannot

 

[SherVaughn30]

Switching the subject regarding Hiller's coaching decisions and goaltending. I was honestly miffed why Rittich didn't start last night against his former team and a bottom team, and Kuemper today against his former team? Unless there are some numbers each goalie has against Preds/Caps that was part of the decision process.

Not even remotely the system's issue, it's they don't shoot the f***ing puck problem....

 

[FrozenKing18]

What is it with this tic tac toe passing and never shooting? Who is watching the game footage and saying, "Yes, let's do more of this type of plays."

 

[kingsholygrail]

They prioritize low scoring chances too much and have done so for a long time now. Lots of passing and then shooting from a bad angle if they get a shot off at all.

 

[The Butcher]

That was the game PLD was born to play.

Probably just figured they had a better chance to secure 2 points last night

Kings have definitely been reverting back to old habits these past couple of games, looking at one too many passes and when you're losing in a game you can't be picky with your shot selections.
