They'll either be sharper tomorrow, or really, really tired.

Nearing the end of a trip, a Sunday morning/afternoon game, too many penalties. 2 points they can't get back.

1-2-0 on the road trip so far. If a good road trip is 5 out of 10 points, they need 3 of the next 4 points.

Sounds like another comedy of errors game. Hopefully a wake up call after recent history. Have to be certain the penalties and other stupid plays will be ironed out as players get stapled to the bench.

god call, PGT maker should probably disclaimer DVR users on watch-ability factor
 
Well atleast no one is complaining about how many posts there are in GDT's after losses.

I didn't watch a second of the game, have it DVR'd but will just watch the goal highlights on NHL.com

What a joke to schedule a game at the same exact time the NFL is kicking off. Not to mention a 10AM on a Sunday for fans in LA.
 
Brown had a pretty good game. I thought Kopitar was pretty good as well, even before he scored his two goals.

Gaborik is terrible once again. Nolan... well, nice momentum swinger. What happened to Martinez could have happened to anybody, but he was still pretty meh. Most of the defense was pretty meh, though.

Quick didn't have a good game, but I wouldn't say he lost the game, either.
 
Even after last year, I still give this team the benefit of the doubt when it comes to regular season play.

I'm still high from the 2014 Cup run I guess.
 
Spent good money on tickets for the game. Was regretting it a bit down 3-0. McNabb, Gaborik, Nolan, all complete garbage the whole night. I still do not comprehend why Nolan doesn't sit in the press box every night.

I was trying to watch Weal as much as possible. He doesn't look helpless out there and wasn't a liability today, but hasn't figured out how to create any space for himself out there. He needs to be less tentative if he's going to succeed, but then again, so does the whole team. I thought he looked better on Kopitar's wing than as center between Clifford and Bonehead.

Not sure why Lucic was moved off of Carter's line. He looked ineffective out there with Kopitar.

One big thing I noticed was how good Justin Faulk is. He absolutely controls play when he's on the ice. Not so much dipsy doodle as Doughty, but know when to shoot the puck and put it on net. Small sample size, but by far the best defenseman on the ice today.

Jordan Weal seemed nervous in the one shift I noticed him. I doubt Sutter will ever trust him. Maybe for good reason.

Weal looked fine, at time moving wells trying to make plays on a few shifts. He's only played 3 games and this was probably his first game in weeks. Unfortunately all the penalties limited his icetime. He wasn't the liability on that line.
 
Missed game but just watched 10 minute highlight version, and the last 8 minutes in real time.

Kopi with 2 goals? Thats ****ing sweet.
And Brown handled that penalty shot. Good to see that too. In fact, for a one goal loss... We did it without it having to be from Toff/Carter.

That Martiniez goal against was ****ing brutal. Just brutal.

On to the next one.
 
It was nice seeing Kopi score two. Now if we can combine that with some Carter-Toffoli production and stay out of the box we should be golden.

The kid has one of the best shots in hockey. Teammate of Shore And Forbort at Ann Arbor for NTDP. Drafted in 2nd round 2010. Carolina first pick was Skinner who won rookie of year. Faulk played one year college and led Minnesota Duluth to NCAA title. The kid is for real.
 
Comedy of errors.

Good to see Kopitar produce, Brown as well.

Whole team was off, on to the next game.

Kings are 5-5 in the last Ten games, meh ebbs and flows of the season I guess.
