GDT: Game 31: Los Angeles Kings @ Montreal Canadiens | Thursday, Dec 17 2015 - 4:30PM PT

[Little Psycho]

Nhl live just said that Doughty is the only player in the NHL leading in ice time on the PK, PP, and even strength. No one else leads in all three categories.

Surely at least one other player is leading the league in those categories?!

I'm expecting a big game from Looch tonight

 

[ru4reals]

Backup goalie not gonna be too optimistic I'm hoping for maybe a point. Would be good. Three most satisfying wins in the league for me Sucks, Pens, and the Habnots!

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Interesting line on the ice, Andreoff, Kopitar, Nolan...indeed, i hope Looch does some damage over there.

 

[scryan]

Man, that studium sounds kinda loud...

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

If Weal wants to stay in the lineup he can't give the puck up at his own blueline.

He also lost a board battle down low.

 

[damacles1156]

The other thing I notice is Weal is not using his speed. Weal is a lot faster than he is showing.

It's one of his best attributes, that he is not using.

he did this against Arizona right in front of Quick that led to a Domi snipe. hes doing it a LOT

 

[HookKing]

Kings failing to capitalize on all these glaring mistakes in Montreal's end.
I expect the habs to come out in the second just like Ottawa.

I think maybe more then one person here counted out Weal entirely too early for it to have been a completely legitimate call... Having said that I think it may just have turned out to be true, and for him to stick he is going to have to do just about everything better. I don't think there is one thing you can point to with him and say well he has been handling ______.

Hopefully he miraculously settles in and everything we have been waiting for clicks on.... More likely King/Lewis come back.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Carter has made some interesting passes. What a disastrous powerplay.

 

[damacles1156]

Kings look terrible last four minutes or so. Extremely lazy on the PP lead to turnovers.

 

[damacles1156]

Jim Fox "Ohh"

Drinking game time

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Montreal did more with 14 secs on their PP than the Kings did why their opportunity. Good thing Quick is on his game.

 

[HookKing]

Love to watch a pp that knows how to move the puck rather than stand around trying to give it away.

 

[Little Psycho]

Habs looking good on the pp and pk

 

[damacles1156]

Montreal did more with 14 secs on their PP than the Kings did why their opportunity. Good thing Quick is on his game.

I never worry about Quick when he is getting bombed with shots.

He is elite facing heavy shots.

If the Kings had allowed over 25 shots a game over Quick's career, Quick would have about Two Vezina trophy's by now.

Love to watch a pp that knows how to move the puck rather than stand around trying to give it away.

They are so good at the PP that they are 0-19 in the past 6+ games. Awesome.

 

[HookKing]

TT getting into trouble trying fancy moves.

 

[damacles1156]

Kings are getting beat to every 50/50 puck.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings with so many neutral zone turnovers.

 

[Little Psycho]

Horrible 5 minutes

 

[damacles1156]

Quick is the only reason this game is not 3-0.
