GDT: Game #35 : KINGS @ STARS - Sunday, 3/31/’13 @ 3:00 pm PDT

[Vamos Rafa]

So Nolan made room for Penner. Can anyone explain why Sutter prefers King over Jordan?

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Its stupid to keep Penner out.

 

[Reclamation Project]

^Yup!

 

[KingsCorona]

Damn too bad it was offside, that was a great pick-off by Toffoli.

Nolan took that really dumb interference on the goalie last night. You just can't do that.

Better at cycling and puck retention.

 

[CNS]

Not really. When Fatty doesn't move his skates and doesn't hit people, he's useless. When he DOES do those things, he really is a great player. Even if he doesn't score, him moving his feet and hitting does a lot for this team, and his line. I just wish the effort was there from him every game. He still easily could be a 20 goal guy again.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Richards should shoot more

 

[KingsCorona]

Wow, Kings are absolutely molesting the Stars to start!

But we run in to that problem that we could gas ourselves early. Don't blow the load in the first please. We've seen it before from other teams who played the game before where they come out in the 1st strong and fade late.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Richardson playing center?

 

[CNS]

Richardson playing center?

Yeah. Why is that surprising? He plays all 3 positions and was acquired from Colorado as a center.

Yep. But the good thing is that we've already scored. We've seen this team dominate the 1st without scoring and it only got more frustrating and exhausting later in the game when they still couldn't score. Result: get victimized by counter attacks.

Richardson playing center?

He can play all forward positions

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Voynov has great instincts finding the puck

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Good job jb

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Yeah. Why is that surprising? He plays all 3 positions and was acquired from Colorado as a center.

I was actually asking a legit question (not rhetorical). That line is interesting, though. All players were drafted as centers.

 

[KopitarFAN]

How did Eriksson screw that up? Good work JB.

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

maybe King being show cased for trade

 

[KopitarFAN]

Jagr is a freakin horse.

 

[Live in the Now]

Jagr is a freakin horse.

Yep. Please send him our way Dallas.

Oh. And no. Toffoli was most definitely not drafted as a center. Nor was Clifford.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

This is lovely.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Ellerby looks good. Confident plays.

 

[damacles1156]

Nice move by Ellerby to create space.
