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

Trevor Lewis took two ozone penalties last night that hurt the Kings, never missed a shift and played tonight. Turc gets benched for making a bad pass and played 1 shift in the 3rd. The coaches standard is completely whack!

 

[Buddy The Elf]

I really hope a desperation trade isn't coming.

Blake wants to solidify his spot as the Kings worst GM ever. That's a high honor considering the mediocrity and futility that preceeded Lombardi. It's also clear he didn't learn anything from Lombardi other than his desperation moves at the end of his tenure.

We’ve all been jacking off into tissues since April 2017.

I compromised, I watched Cup run footage from 2012 off the radiator.

 

[Buddy The Elf]

It's fitting for Blake to go out in a shit storm given his history with the team.

Kinda wish he'd call it quits prematurely just like he did back in the day too. Do us all a f***ing favor.

Remove the shock collar from Clarke. We need offense!

When does baseball season start again

Pitchers and catchers report in ~2 weeks

Two Florida teams, two nights, two shutouts, two 3-0 games. It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Who says Blake is going anywhere?

 

[BaileyFan]

When is Axel going to show up and brag about how Blake’s boys held the last 5 Eastern Conference champions to only 1 goal each for most of the game?

1 goal in the 1st. 1 goal in the 3rd. ENG in the 3rd. Both games.

 

[ru4reals]

I don't think McDavid, Prime Ovechkin or Prime Crosby could help this team

I was thinking the same thing. Lol.

They played better tonight, but still need to drill down and get to the f***ing net

1 goal in the 1st. 1 goal in the 3rd. ENG in the 3rd. Both games.

Doughty back for two games, -2 in both, led the team in icetime in both.

 

[redcard]

On the bright side, January is over.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

The explanation from Jim Fox does seem to show that they did indeed make the right call by rule on the disallowed goal.

I still hate the whole offside thing though, if it's to close to call at the time of the play, just let it go.

What did he say, I only had the Tampa feed

 

[fsanford]

Vancouver gave up 5 goals to this bunch this month.

Did Canucks goalie break his leg during the game?

At a certain point you're going to have to face the reality that they don't have the personnel to score consistently even if they do simplify and drive

Same personnel in the beginning of the season scored consistently just fine, have a good explanation for that?

To his credit he had a post yesterday that I agreed 100% with where it seemed like he was starting to see it.

I tend it give it more than twenty minutes before I go wtf, that's all

 

[tny760]

every good team has a streak like this! every one of them struggled at some point during the season! can't win em all! what is this? your first time watching hockey?

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

I think they have some old horses that hit a wall and some young horses that hit a plateau, and I think they're outcoached and outscouted as time goes on. A team with firepower can bully through that stuff

Teams are locking down on defense the closer they get to the playoffs. They start to play more physical playoff hockey.
