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

[Live in the Now]

A.) Not winning enough faceoffs.

B.) Chicago is retrieving the puck on our dump ins way too quickly.

Only way to slow the Hawks down is start hitting. Have the Kings even hit anyone yet ?

 

[NikF]

Kopitar can't even pass the puck. For the love of jeebuschrist, I've never seen Kopi play this bad.

Him and Brown have been pathetic the entire season. Sad to see them revert back to this after the playoffs they had.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Jeff Carter.

Yup. He's a stud.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Richards needs to step it up, Kopitar needs to get his head out of his ass and lead the team as the best player should do, Quick needs to relax on the aggression he gives to every player. Brown needs to stop sucking too.

 

[William H Bonney]

It's time for Sutter to send a message that will resonate like Kopi on the 4th line for at least a period.

Judging from their play, it appears that they hit the bars quite heavily the prior night.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

**** you Lakers for spreading your suckage to the Kings.

 

[Winger23]

Kings first line really blows. I would not mind seeing kopi and brown benched next game they are doing nothing.

I understand the D struggling but there is zero offence.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

We can complain about our D all we want but it's ultimately the offense.

 

[MsMeow]

Milbury looks like he's freezing!

Good point and not that I've noticed.

I'm so sick of reading this. Richards has been our best center for a long time. Sutter said he was too. Richards is doing everything he can out there. Really, name me one thing Richards is doing wrong. This is bull ****.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Yep. We are a one-dimensional team. If our defense is playing bad, we just don't have enough offense to make up for it.

Let me rephrase that as you are right since most our other centers do nothing, Richards needs to chip in more offensively defensively he's good.

 

[alpa]

I wonder what Kings team will show up in the second...so far they have been humilated.

Is the push stick play on Quick legal? or should that be a penalty?

 

[William H Bonney]

True as well. The lack of offensive zone time and possession puts an unrealistic burden on a depleted defense.

brown has been playing good this season. started off slow but his game has been fine. kopi on the other hand is invisible, he seems scared to be an impact player on the ice. there were times last year where he would take guys 1 on 1 and bull rush to the net. now all i see is his drive through the middle cross the blue line then dish wide and crash the net. he lacks creativity and confidence

Agreed, he started off slow but he's been very good once he got into gear. Sutter would call him out if he had an issue with him, he's done it to a lot of others.

 

[Bandit]

We're gonna be lucky to not give up 6...

So far, so good?

It's illegal, but it's something they'll never call unless it's super blatant.

 

[lumbergh]

Scuderi is done. A good warrior for about five years there, but he's completely overmatched out there. It's time to let him walk at the end of the season.

Brown has been awful. Besides his couple fortunate power play goals, what has he done that's positive?

 

[KingKopitar11*]

For a team that has **** defense the motto in the locker room should be the best offense is the best defense
