GDT: 2024-25 season game 5 LA Kings vs Montreal Canadiens @4:00pm 10/17/24

[KingsHockey24]

2-1-2 is not terrible.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Dominant face off wins from Danault and Kopitar to seal the win.

 

[dabeechman]

A gimme of a shut out of Rittich doesn't sh*t the bed on that wrap around.

 

[Bandit]

Oh boy. Points in 4 of 5. Jack me off and call me Peter. We’re contenders.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

I don't care if Kempe scores 20 empty netters I'd like to see him pot 50 goals this season and next season prior to his contract expiring(UFA)!!!

 

[kingsboy11]

Probably the best game we've played so far. Still far from perfect, but steps towards the right direction. Still think we need to see Byfield at center for an extended period of time.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

In the old days the Kings were hard pressed earning points against Les Canadiens in Montreal!!!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Alright, I'm putting away the Doomsayer sandwich board for a few days.

Why lets give Turc extended time with Laferriere and Byfield with Kopi and Kempe again

 

[chris kontos]

We beat the san jose sharks of the east

 

[KingsHockey24]

Laferriere has been solid just about every game this season.

 

[kilowatt]

Couldn't watch today, but glad to see Turcotte get a little more time on ice

 

[King'sPawn]

Good win on the road in a back-to-back.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Also I'm 2 for 2 in terms of getting wins for the games I watch.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kings needed this after yesterdays abortion

 

[kilowatt]

Laferriere has been solid just about every game this season.

I just don't think he's a top line player. He's looking like he'll be a good middle six guy.

Byfield - Kopitar - Kempe
Moore - Turcotte - Laferriere
Fiala - Danault - Foegele
Jeannot - Thomas - Lee

 

[johnjm22]

It's not Lewis that needs to sit for Thomas, it's Foegele.

 

[Schmooley]

Good win on the road in a back-to-back.

Yea they played well especially on a back to back at the end of a long roadtrip. Last year they struggled in back to backs.
This was their best game so far.

 

[LeftKinger]

Thanks for sharing that. RIP. He was a long time fan and one of the first writers who covered the team online.

Kings should mention it on an upcoming broadcast. RIP.

 

[LeftKinger]

If Hiller actually plays the guys who are playing well and doesn’t show preference to vets, we should make the playoffs. So far I like what I’m seeing. Turcotte definitely looks like he has the vision to be a top 6 forward in this league. Praying he can stay healthy.

Damn just saw Gann from Frozen Royalty passed away…

I only knew of him but this is a nice write up:

[FSL KINGS]

MTL showing the level of dedication needed to get that 1st overall.

Damn just saw Gann from Frozen Royalty passed away…

That's very sad, RIP Gann.

My interactions with him were all very pleasant (all over Facebook years ago). Super knowledgeable guy but he never went out of his way to rub that in your face. Had zero time for speculation, Frozen Royalty really did just tell it like it is.

 

[Peter James Bond III]

Damn. And that's with a few games of 6 to 8 min TOI. He could have 5 or 6 points right now, with
more TOI and how close he's been to having more points. Looks good on PP too.
Would be insane if Turcotte and Laferriere can both top 40 pts this year.
They look great together. Foegele looked better tonight as well. Maybe this
line works and all 3 can gel.
