GDT: Game 14: LA Kings @ Montreal Canadiens | Thu, Nov 10 2016 - 4:30PM

Best, or at least most consistent line this year has been a 26 year old rookie from Alabama, the worst contract in the league, and a pre-season tryout.

 

[TheBannermen]

Right, it's not about just tonight. King and Purcell aren't driving this bus, and neither would Mersch. He's not going to do anything if the big guys aren't leading the way.

I'll try this again for you since you're clearly upset beyond basic reason. Speaking to a strictly singular roster spot, do you not think that Mersch can efficiently supplant the piles of redundant cells that are Dwight King and Teddy Purcell irregardless of the performance of other players on the team?

 

[The Tikkanen]

This is the top pick in the draft version of the LA Kings. It's been a few games since we've seen them.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

If Nic dowd can get brown and Setoguchi scoring Why not take a chance a young guy like mersch could help jump start kopitar or our pp in general

 

[HookKing]

Kings should pull Budaj after its gets set up. Sutter will never do it though.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Maybe Mersch didn't show enough in training camp and preseason.

 

[kingsfan28]

Sorry Jim, movement doesn't equal goals.

 

[Little Psycho]

Lol Kopi

 

[kingsfan28]

You can't miss that shot Kopi.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Maybe Mersch didn't show enough in training camp and preseason.

mersch has 6 points in 9 games. Hes ready to come up again

 

[Vamos Rafa]

So this is what it's like to play against the 2012 Quick...

Why didn't he earn it during training camp or preseason?

 

[Scottkmlps]

Just not in the cards tonight.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Hey, it's not a shutout.

 

[kingsfan28]

Suck it Price! 3-1

 

[Legionnaire]

So this is what it's like to play against the 2012 Quick...

I was just coming here to say a similar thing.

NOW we score. Toff! 3-1. Maybe that will open the door.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Whoever made the decision thought king was a better option and imo was wrong

 

[Clare2904]

What is this sorcery ? A goal !!!!

 

[kingsfan28]

That's where Kopi should've shot it instead of his glove.

 

[Little Psycho]

Oh Forbort

 

[kingsfan28]

That pp goal broke the 0-23 streak. #moralvictory

 

[Legionnaire]

Member Berries? Member when people were calling Price a bust because he didn't start over Halak?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Christmas commercials...already. Can't even wait until Thanksgiving...

 

[HookKing]

Sutter should have pulled Budaj at the start of the pp. Coaches have a very poor understanding of probabilities.

Mersch is 24, drafted 5 years ago, has known skating issues himself, and been in the AHL for a couple years. If he was good enough irregardless, he'd be a King. Sutter loves slow guys.

So far this season, complaining about King or Purcell is a luxury.
