GDT: 3/4/2017 Vancouver Canucks @ LA Kings -- 7:00pm PST

I loved seeing Bishop knock Megna upside the head . I can't really put blame on him for any of the goals besides the 1st one with the bad bounce . The other goals were breakaways and went off our own players . The team is flat in front him how many 2 on 1 or out numbered attacks has Vancouver had its unbelievable .

Here comes the optimistic commentary by OD.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Came down from 2 the last game; can we do 3 tonight?

One thing the kings don't do is activate defense men on offense. 99 percent of the time they just sit on the blue line stationary. For a team that can't score and down by at least 2 goals they need to activate but this system just suffocates any creativity period.

The Kings actually get more offense from their blue line than most teams.

Fairly sad 40 minute effort. Maybe 38 minute effort. Saturday night(not day, night), at home, division team, and they didn't even bother for the first 20 minutes.

 

[LAKings88]

Hard to come back from 2 craptastic goals.

Needed one going into the third.

Miller has been solid.

Kempe had a couple good shifts.

Can't see this team getting three in the third.

Kings won 16 of 20 faceoffs that period. Kopitar won all five of his. They trail, 4-1, with 20 minutes to play.

 

[King'sPawn]

All that goal tells us is that there is nothing wrong physically with Kopitar. I'm depressed.

There was. That's undeniable.

This game is horse s...t

"An unexpected 3-0 lead to the Canucks..."
To be this new to the Kings. Must be nice.

This is one of those games where I walk into my beer league rink and go man, I can't believe this team is only up 3-0...wait, they're LOSING? the hell?

I'm catching up with the thread and it's cracking me up.

 

[HookKing]

There was. That's undeniable.

There was what?

 

[Jericho111091]

4 goals from Andy Andy in the 3rd. Calling it.

 

[King'sPawn]

There was what?

Something wrong with Kopitar physically earlier.

That's cause they are the only ones ever in position to shoot. I'm talking even strength, and I can't remember the last time a dman was between the dots, it's always on the half boards...

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Shots 34-17. Down 4-1. Don't care because I'm not going to have Kings hockey after mid-April so I'm savoring each game left.

We got a power play. Do we want it?

 

[KingTrouty]

Need one here, needless to say.

Kempe has been studly tonight.

 

[kingsfan28]

Doughty shoots and it's blocked...ALWAYS!

 

[KINGS17]

Another Doughty shot blocked on the power play.

 

[kingsfan28]

That entire line got outworked along the boards before turning it over.

 

[AmadiosAmigos]

Doughty shoots and it's blocked...ALWAYS!

Thats because he waits and gives the other team position to get in the way every time!

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

4 goals from Andy Andy in the 3rd. Calling it.

Hey, as long as it's not another 4 goals by the Canucks...

The Canucks could have had a couple of shorthanded chances on our power play if they'd have bothered.

 

[Herby]

Drew is such a great player, but the PP is a clear weakness.

 

[kingsfan28]

Another Doughty shot blocked on the power play.

Best chance on the pp and it was blocked.

 

[kingsfan28]

Thats because he waits and gives the other team position to get in the way every time!

That's exactly what happened. Had the shot, looked for a better shot and then shot it into a leg.

 

[HookKing]

Something wrong with Kopitar physically earlier.

Earlier? I'm talking about now.

 

[kingsboy11]

Think this has been Kempe's best game since he got called up. Very active and making plays

 

[kingsfan28]

Keep Doughty off this pp if he cant hit the net.
