GDT: 2024-25 season game 56 LA Kings vs Vancouver Canucks @7:00 pm 2/26/25

Embarrassing PP, but Meyers getting injured screwed up the flow. Kopi has been absolutely atrocious, I thought he'd benefit from the rest but he looks way off. They really miss Drew on the back end, Clarke looks like he has zero confidence thanks to his limited minutes. I always expect us to lose with Rittich in net.

the injury sucked then the muzzling of the response to the board on kopi

just all emotional drags that are totally characteristic of this team

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

An awful read from Clarke. On top of the turnover that led to the counterattack, he just decided to stand still and froze up rather than go after Garland. Not a smart player.

 

[Little Psycho]

I’m at the game. This L is on me.

and that’s the first and last game I go to this season .

 

[kingsholygrail]

and that’s the last game I go to this season .

I'll pick up the slack in a couple weeks when I go to the Blues game.

 

[shuchukfan]

Anyone else notice that Kopitar is getting hit a lot more this season? I always thought that he didn't get run due to respect, but maybe not.

 

[Omni Owl]

*obligatory we should have kept Faber post*

Although I can't even front Fiala has been a lot better.

That’s what sucks for young guys on a middling first round exit playoff team.

Every mistake is amplified

Can't avoid the hits as much as he used to. Much slower.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Nah, Clarke let him move in at least 6 feet more than he should have. Just a lazy, lazy read.

Not a lazy read, he had the right read, but he double clutched it, thought too much....and then was passive.

Its been awhile since I've seen him get lit up like he did by Forbort in OT. He's a lot slower and more lumbering, that's probably why.

 

[Little Psycho]

I was like we have the best home record in the league. I can’t f*** it up. WRONG!

 

[AbsentMojo]

Kefiby line shouldve been #1 the whole game...Hiller is like a guy who after years of trying finds gold in the river and so used to dumping it out and getting another scoop, he dumps it back in

 

[kilowatt]

At this point let's just move Clarke and a 1st for Rakell and Toffoli and get it over with. It's just easier to accept that these kids aren't going to make it here and move on from it.

Fiala - Byfield - Kempe
Rakell - Kopitar - Toffoli
Moore - Danault - Laferriere
Jeannot - Turcotte - Foegele

Anderson - Gavrikov
Edmundson - Doughty
Moverare - Spence

Kuemper
A better backup?

 

[kingsfan28]

PP lost this game again. 4 on 3, 1 shot, all passes Nobody willing to go to the net or shoot it from the point. And that was boarding on Kopitar on the pp, but the rules are different in OT I guess.

He cannot get out of the way anymore.

 

[tny760]

always interesting

 

[GameNight]

Has a goaltender ever been in contention for the Jennings Trophy with a sub .890?

Enough of big sieve Dave. He hasn't had a good game in 2 months. A defensive-centric team like the Kings and numbers like that. He's a fraud, always has been. Copley or Portillo even, can handle 1 game a week from here on out

It's hard to believe but the entire season is riding on Kuemper. Not Byfield. Not Fiala. Not Kopitar but Darcy Kuemper.

 

[Lt Dan]

Sorry this is late. Someone wouldn't L'eggo my Eggo

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Do the Kings coaches and management know they can use their players best strengths/assets?

I get that Clarke struggles on the defensive side but he is a monster on the PP though all leagues. Yet, the Kings don't use him there.

Turcotte has amazing vision/hockey IQ to set people up to score but he can't play on the PP because Danault and Moore are there?

The PP lines need to be...

Fiala & Kempe (Wings)
Foegele (Net Front)
Byfield (High Slot)
Clarke (Point)

Kopitar & Laferriere (Wings)
Jeannot (Net Front)
Turcotte (High Slot)
Spence (Point)

Re Clarke it’s pretty clear that’s a guy with no confidence left after getting dicked around by the org all year…again

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kings should send out the 3 Amigos!!!

Hey I gotta a better name for the 3 Amigos(Kempe,Fiala and Byfield)...Thunder,Lightning and Reign!!!

Re Clarke it’s pretty clear that’s a guy with no confidence left after getting dicked around by the org all year…again

Thing about Brandt is he should have worked on his strength(upper body and Legs especially) not sure about him he's not going to be the heir apparent as Blake envisioned

Somebody should have punched Forbert in the mouth

QB had thoughts, Kopi pulled him aside because they were still on the pp.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

And that's the problem with this leadership. It's just a regular season game that only matters little. Kopitar is a "lover" not a "fighter" amd the team takes after him. He should have let Byfield do what he was doing so in the future other teams know that the Kings won't be a pushover.
