GDT: 2024-25 season game 49 LA Kings vs Tampa Bay Lightning @4:00pm 1/30/25

Adrian can play everywhere

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Oh look, yet another Joel Edmundson Paul Coffey jump

Bench Clarke for that odd man break pls

 

[kilowatt]

If they were playing like they were in December, they might have a different attitude around Clarke. But because they've been playing like dog water most of this month, that they're trying to find ways to get more wins. Somehow that means benching Clarke who has been your most productive defenseman up until this point to try and protect one of Englund or Burroughs from getting claimed off waivers. It's not like we didn't know Doughry was coming back soon, should we not have had a conditional plan for when that happens?

I'm not going to harp on them sending down Helenius or Lee because the teams success doesn't rely on 2 4th line players when there's several other players making a lot more money struggling to score. We've used an 11/7 setup for almost half the season and now we don't want to use it when now is probably the best time to do so? What are we doing?

Why would we not want to lose Burroughs on waivers? I would love to lose him on waivers. His four minutes a night are less than useless.

 

[Schmooley]

A young guy would be banished to Siberia for playing the game Lewis did yesterday

 

[ru4reals]

Kempe is our best defenseman hands down. Lol.

 

[Bandit]

Spence just got piped.

 

[Choralone]

Oh hey, look at that.

 

[Telos]

It's okay guys, Clarke totally would have given that shit up too.

 

[Inzane]

Game over, we are not going to score

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Good thing they scratched Clarke.

 

[Schrute farms]

Just a quick brush up for those that dont despise this regime

Obviously this Oliver guy isn't a TRUE Kings fan.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

This team sucks bad!

 

[AbsentMojo]

Hegel schooled Spence and Rittich - that was stylish

 

[Bandit]

Trevor Less. What a shit season for him.

 

[kingsfan28]

Sigh...

1-0

 

[DoktorJeep]

My Grubhub delivery never showed up and Hagel scores at the same time. Rough start to the night.

 

[kingsholygrail]

 

[Inzane]

Its been like 10 games now where we barely get to the red line and just chip it in. No chance of any pressure this way, but benching Clarke and playing Lewis will help with the speed leaving our zone for sure

 

[King'sPawn]

That was not impressive defense from Spence.

I'm sure it's Clarke's fault though.

 

[johnjm22]

Edmunson goes to the net. Immediate 2 on 1 the other way.

This has got on my nerves all year with Edmundson.

He's seems more interested in scoring than playing stay at home defense. Which is the role he was brought in for.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It’s fine everyone. They scored 5 goals against the Canucks seven games ago.

 

[johnjm22]

Remember if the Kings don't score this period that will be 6 straight.

The equivalent of two whole games in a row without scoring.

 

[AbsentMojo]

f the linesman.. just drop the puck u nerd

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Just saying but the teams LA has made trades with to get "better" all have better records than the Kings. Washington and Winnipeg are tied for the best team in the league and Minnesota is not far behind.

Bluc can only make other teams better.

 

[AbsentMojo]

at this rate they wont get to double digits in SOG
