GDT: Game #40: KINGS @ BLACKHAWKS - Monday, 12/30/’13 @ 5:00 pm PST (TV = NBCSN)

[TheSentinel]

Because, they always make a backup look good. It's how this team has been for a while now.

This^ it's basically our mantra.

 

[kingsfan28]

The final push to end the shutout.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Raanta has done close to nothing tonight

Just luck last game the Kings played the Hawks.

 

[Herby]

3 minutes left in the game, losing 1-0, Brown happy to just chip it out.

Kings are built to protect leads, not to catch up. Another reason we match up so poorly with this Hawks team.

I really hope Lombardi is doing everything he can to upgrade this team offensively, because this team will not beat Chicago 4 out of 7 in the playoffs, zero chance.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Lewis's gloves must weigh three times as much...

Lmaooo

 

[damacles1156]

I have no idea.

Chicago has allowed 2 or fewer goals 9 of the past 10, going on 10 of 11 tonight.

But who needs facts, lets just pretend he is winning every game 7-6

That's what I was getting at, the Hawks D over the last three weeks has gone from the bottom 20's to 13th . They are rounding back into form.

 

[Winger23]

3 minutes left in the game, losing 1-0, Brown happy to just chip it out.

The kings breakout is so damn predictable. Plant a winger on the half boards, no speed coming out... Terrible.

 

[ru4reals]

Last two years Kieth is back too world class form .

He won't win it! Cuz the second coming himself Erik Karlsson and his brother PK Subban will eventually take it! Those two winning the Norris the past two years has got to be the biggest joke ever!

 

[Oh Snap]

Yup. That's the Sutter offensive mindset.

3 minutes left? Dump and chase boys!

After this commercial break, i'm fully expecting the Lewis line to be out there.

HAHAHAHA Of course I was right! Great job Sutter!

 

[kingsfan28]

No call? That looked like a board

edit. looked clean after the replay

 

[Bandit]

That looked like ****ing boarding to me.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Time for Doughty to go out with a concussion

That wasn't a board. He hit him from the side.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

That's a ****ing board. Stand-up for your ****ing star

 

[Oh Snap]

And the Lewis - Stoll - Toffoli line back out AGAIN. **** you Sutter.

 

[Herby]

Subban and Karlsson both had amazing seasons. No idea why this is always brought up on this forum.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Bet the Kings never pull Jones in the last minute.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Good time to load up the offense and score a goal? Throw Lewis out there.

 

[kingsfan28]

Two end zone draws in the last 2 min and lost both.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

And the Lewis - Stoll - Toffoli line back out AGAIN. **** you Sutter.

Gotta score a goal? First person I think of is Trevor Lewis

 

[Bandit]

Bet the Kings never pull Jones in the last minute.

They'll get him to the bench with 10 seconds left. Maybe.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Lol zero forechecking, can't break through the neutral zone, these guys just own us. End of story.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I'll be impressed if they get more than one shot in net in the dying minute.

 

[Puck U]

Welp ... our normal December slump came just a little late this year ... But it finally arrived.

 

[ADifferentTim]

My main criticism of the Kings' performance tonight is Sutter's insistence of Carter/Kopi/King red line. As a result, the Kings have been losing crucial games. Sigh.

Just give me LW/Carter/Richards red line anytime and it gives the Kings a fighting chance!

 

[Bandit]

Pathetic.
