GDT: Carolina Hurricanes at Los Angeles Kings - Dec 8, 2016 - 730pm

[Ziggy Stardust]

Seems like the Kings are as excited as we all are for this game. The energy matches with the audience's enthusiasm inside Staples Center.

 

[HookKing]

Looks like he's broken up the D pairs too. Glad to see Martinez/Muzzin gone.

 

[damacles1156]

Forbort/Gravel paired together

 

[damacles1156]

4th line has been the best line all night so far.

Clifford/Nolan two best scoring chances.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

At least the in arena music kicks ass.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Bench Drew. Seriously.

 

[kingsfan28]

Oh Doughty... that is why you'll never put up the same amount of points other guys do.

 

[kingsholygrail]

lol I don't think Zatkoff can do the splits...

 

[damacles1156]

Sutter Should play the 4th line 20+ minutes tonight, send a message.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Ducks scored two quick goals on these guys and netted 5 goals against the very same defense and goalie.

Naturally, the Kings will get shutout tonight.

 

[kingsfan28]

That was flat out awful! Doughty turns it overs, Canes clear it then Kopitar does the same thing, Doughty is hung out and the Canes make it 2-0

 

[kingsfan28]

The Canes are going to make it 8-1-1 vs teams with 3 or more days offs

 

[damacles1156]

Kopitar has been a possession killer tonight.

 

[kingsholygrail]

NHL scheduling is garbage.

 

[kingsfan28]

Everything that's wrong with Doughty and his shot was displayed right there. It took 6 seconds to get his shot off from the moment he got the pass. Then he shoots it wide .

 

[Winger23]

Kopitar has been a possession killer tonight.

He needs to start earning his money already. Starting to think he's still hurting cause he just looks like he's going through the motions.

 

[HookKing]

Something screwy on that last goal. Doughty was the only D on the ice.

 

[kingsfan28]

Karlsson or Burn scores that.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings making Cam Ward look like his Conn Smythe winning self.

 

[damacles1156]

Of course Ward is going to put on the show of a lifetime.

 

[kingsfan28]

Why doesn't this surprise me.

 

[HookKing]

Kings not doing much at all. Easy peasy game for Ward so far.

 

[damacles1156]

Not hitting the Canes either, they haven't had to expend much energy.

 

[kingsboy11]

Is anyone really surprised that the Kings aren't playing well after 3 days off and the Hurricanes trying to avoid what they did last night against the Ducks?

 

[kingsholygrail]

I think they're waiting for Quick to come back.
