GDT: 2024-25 season game 48 LA Kings vs Florida Panthers @4:00pm 1/29/25

Dude has been looking for a fight for a few games. No one seems to want to take him up on it.
I think that is what is angering me the most. Other players don't have to take him up on it. Just start throwing punches, especially if they are running the goalie and taking liberties. If they fight back, cool. If they don't, he'll get a roughing penalty at most since refs are afraid to call the instigator penalty (even when it is really egregious). I thought Jeannot was going to be the guy to drag our scaredy cats into some battles, but I was wrong. Guys with balls come here and get neutered. I'm not saying they need to turn into the Broadstreet Bullies, but man, I watch this team and I wonder when the NHL banned hitting.

Look at the last Oilers game. They're being coached to play this way.

oof Laf wasnt laughing after that rubout by Cernak. I wouldnt mind these low scoring games if there were hits from the Kings like Cernak on Laf
 
How bout your boy Rittich tonite eh?
Aint watching. Doesn't matter, when the team can't score goals for what looks like 2 full games! 2 games back for Doughty and the team hasn't scored a single goal! This mostly 11/7 lineup was bad enough not scoring enough goals and now 12/6 and they can't come any closer to scoring goals either!

Honestly, how much longer can this roster put up with Hiller? The offensive slump is staggering across the board!

Is Hiller the sole problem? The roster is almost devoid of offensive talent. If the other team can stop Kempe, there's not a whole lot else that opposing teams have to worry about.
