GDT: 2024-25 season game 68 LA Kings vs Carolina Hurricanes @1:00pm 3/22/25

I never played another drinking game involving the Kings after January 14th, 2006. Although it's still a good laugh nearly 20 years later.

Go on

love this kuzmenko 'wasnt big thing, just shot... i can shot'

 

[AbsentMojo]

The 2 Russians def have personality... would be fun to shoot the shit and some wodka

Go on

My roommate and I were watching the Kings/Sabres game, he offered the stupid goal=shot bet.

Sabres 10-1 Kings (Jan 14, 2006) Box Score - ESPN

Box score for the Buffalo Sabres vs. Los Angeles Kings NHL game from January 14, 2006 on ESPN. Includes all goals, assists and penalty minutes stats.

If anyone wonders why I hate Mathieu Garon so much, here is your answer. This was also the only NHL action Adam Hauser saw in his career, giving up 6 goals on 18 shots, but hey at least he made it, and has a funny story to tell his kids and grandkids.

I was 23, so my liver was still in it's prime, I survived but it was not fun.

13 shots, 6 goals. Seems sustainable.

How is it the 3rd period and they only have 16 shots

Dang Jarvis looked uneasy, hopefully he's alright, f*** concussion bullshit.

If you can challenge offsides, why do the linesman make the close calls at all.. they get those wrong plenty of times as well (calling it off when its onside)

Another thing in sports that could easily be automated

This is the exact type of game you want headed into a back-to-back.

 

[AbsentMojo]

good take

 

[AbsentMojo]

Rittich getting the run support last 2 thats for sure

 

[Telos]

Admittedly, Robitaille's early Saturday games are seemingly working and the team is taking advantage of them. Good win!

 

[Herby]

good take

He plays a well rounded game, the Kings have done a good job developing him into that (thats not a problem for the Kings), he's not Patrice Bergeron, but he's a good defensive player.

But to be an elite center in the NHL he is going to have to produce a lot more offensively over a full season than he has, it's tough to use the words "55 point scorer" and "elite" in the same sentence.

Agree .. but he is putting the tools in the toolbox where before there was no toolbox.. just need more of it coming together.. he also has had a very 2 steps fwd, 1 step back development "curve" - which I dont think is over. Lets see if he can keep gaining confidence in his shot which was a comedy show until recently.

I like how they went up early and never sat back. Kept their foot on the gas the whole game. Completely different looking team compared to when they are on the road.

 

[Killakirillthethrill]

Impressive feat!

 

[kingsboy11]

Didn't come into this game expecting a beat down, but I'll take it!

 

[All The Kings Men]

The last time Doughty played more than 19 minutes but fewer than 20 was Jan 17th 2011.

He had a couple games where he must have been hurt cus it's like 1 minute here 5 minutes there but the last game where he played real minutes without getting hurt and didnt crack 20 was that game.

THAT'S the oddest stat of the game for me. that and that Spence wasnt on the ice for a goal for or against in a game that had 9 goals in it.

Thats some wild wild stuff right there.

 

[kingsfan28]

Our video crew are awesome and savage

Bro, your avatar is going to give me a seizure.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

I don't know about the rest of everyone but this team has looked way better since Lewis went out of the lineup and Doughty came back. Still not a championship team but definitely better

 

[kingsholygrail]

First time I checked the score it was 5-0. Sounds like a fun game.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Jim is usually the most sympathetic guy out there, but he f-d up a bit on this one. Edit: realtime I heard it and didnt think anything of it because I know him as a telecaster.. but I can see how it could be taken

 

[All The Kings Men]

Sure when you cut the clip off right after Jim VERY not chucklingly says "I'm kind of chuckling about it" but come on. Does anybody really believe that Jim Fox a guy who's emotions bleed through and who's career was cut short by injury is actually LAUGHING at an injured player?

Nah.
