GDT: 2024-25 season game 8 LA Kings vs san Jose Sharks @7:30pm 10/24/24

[Lt Dan]

Sent Copley down for this goaltending from Rittich?!

It's Alex Faust's fault. He's watching on TV and mentioned a shutout

 

[SherVaughn30]

A 6'4" is down even before the shot, gets beat easily top corner!

Kings PK stinks. Kings look at the Sharks PP, they skate and snap some passes around to create a shot and score on a big goalie that plays small!

PP is just the players standing around...

 

[Inzane]

Our PP just stands in this weird top diamond and don't move, obviously the shots then also come from the blue line.

PP just looks like they're running down a flow chart

no flow, creativity, just option A or B, pass and option A or B

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings PP cannot handle any pressure at all from the opposition.

This entire unit needs to be completely revamped.

 

[King'sPawn]

That play by Clarke that drew the penalty shows his instincts. He sensed a vulnerability and exposed it.

Too bad the powerplay was junk.

Yup. Who is the PP coach?

 

[chris kontos]

For how many years has our powerplay stunk?

I think theyre *trying* a 1-3-1 pp.. which means diamond and the bumper position

I don't think the Kings PP been any good since Gretzky's days!

 

[Remparts666]

Call up fagemo , have him one time from the left. Pp is fixed

 

[Omni Owl]

Kings with the smallest PP in the league.

 

[dabeechman]

Sus call.

Yea but when the top 3 players don't really move at all, it doesn't create space for the bumber. What do I know though, just feels like they need to do something else

 

[tny760]

i guess i'm missing where jeannot's penalty was but whatever

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Dude slashes my hands like that I’m grabbing him and just throwing

Agreed

 

[SherVaughn30]

They play too much on the perimeter!

 

[AbsentMojo]

Re Clarke.. I think he's adding alot offensively more than enough to make up for his learning curve on D. I like he's goes on these adventures with the puck in the o-zone creating chaos for the d-corps

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

I’m honestly glad we didn’t sign gavrikov long term he doesn’t do anything very well.

 

[Remparts666]

I hope they play Clarke and DD together on the Pp when he comes back

 

[tny760]

good clearance from foegele to go diagonal, lucky icing coming back too

 

[SherVaughn30]

Rittich is a rebound machine...

 

[Omni Owl]

What's with this team and botching easy clears? Every f***ing time they get hemmed in their own zone cuz they can't make a simple clear.

Trevor Lewis is useless.

 

[tny760]

UNBELIEVABLY soft hook on lewis there from the back ref

this dude is really trying to interject himself
