GDT: Game #13: KINGS @ BLACKHAWKS - Sunday, 2/17/’13 @ 12:30 pm PST {NBC}

[damacles1156]

Mitchell is a soon to be 36 year old with a bad knee and a history of concussions. If our team relies so heavily on Mitchell, the odds are that we are screwed

That would be a good bet. Cause the Kings record without him. Is really bad.

So bad I won't even post it.

 

[Butch 19]

wow - this is one sad, sad team. They got nothing. they have had maybe had 1 or 2 good scoring chances thru half a game.

They're making the blkhwks look much better than they are.

THIS TEAM is the Stanley Cup Champion?!? wow.

 

[King RAZZ]

Promote Mitchell as temp D coach until he's healed...

 

[funky]

Hey I just spotted Doughty, he has been invisible this game

 

[William H Bonney]

That was obvious. Surprised at the delayed call.

They haven't lost a single game in regulation. The Kings aren't making the Blackhawks look better than they are, the Blackhawks ARE a better team than them and the best team in the league.

That was obvious. Surprised at the delayed call.

What is the reasoning behind creating this new penalty?

 

[damacles1156]

This Hawks team could set a new record, I don't see any team beating them for a bit.

The Hawks would have to take a game off.

 

[DrHockey]

I wish MR would score a shortie. That was one of the most fun aspects of watching his games in philly

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Hawks PP is taking the Kings to school. Painful display of hockey by the Kings.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Oh how did Carter not score????

 

[Sydor25]

Now carter can't even lift up the puck.

 

[Telos]

Thought Carter had that.

 

[Live in the Now]

I like the idea of Clifford playing with Kopi and Brown. Dunno if it will work.

 

[MsMeow]

I can tell you there's no ambiguity with regards to the physicians diagnosis. The smoke screen is purely a construct of the kings front office

Meaning what, exactly?

 

[William H Bonney]

What is the reasoning behind creating this new penalty?

Not sure. On a side note, I wish they would either open up hand passes to the entire ice or get rid of them all together.

 

[Herby]

I wish MR would score a shortie. That was one of the most fun aspects of watching his games in philly

Not the same player that was in Philly.

Good third line center, smart player, capable of playing in all situations, but not the game breaker he was in Philly.

 

[DrHockey]

What is the reasoning behind creating this new penalty?

For the exact thing that Clifford did. Preventing two hawks from making a legitimate play close to the net

 

[Sydor25]

Too bad NBC doesn't have another game to switch too.

 

[alpa]

I like the idea of Clifford playing with Kopi and Brown. Dunno if it will work.

well something is happening

 

[William H Bonney]

Thought Carter had that.

Hawks have done a great job all season collapsing down to their own net to help their goalie, something the Kings are missing without Mitchell and Greene. Great example of it on that play as Oduya saves the goal.

 

[DrHockey]

Meaning what, exactly?

Meaning the doctors know Mitchell's status and have divulged it to DL. The amount of information we receive us up to him.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Brown needs to do some hunting, he needs to make a big hit or something. Maybe he can smash a player into next season maybe that will change the game.

Edit. I'm starting to think that brown isn't gonna hit anymore, maybe the amount of targeting in the playoffs on him made him scared to throw big hits.

 

[Winger23]

I wish MR would score a shortie. That was one of the most fun aspects of watching his games in philly

I wish he took his job more seriously during the summer. Coming into the season not in shape and is inexcusable. Wouldn't mind seeing him traded for someone who cares.

 

[Nalens Oga]

Even Pitt couldn't repeat with Crosby & Malkin. That should tell you something...

Today's star players don't have the same thirst/hunger for the cup or the same hate for the opponent as they used to.

Parity has to do with it but I'd say this has to do more. Chicago and Pittsburgh lost quite a few players but Boston and LA didn't.
