GDT: Game #46 : KINGS @ WILD - Tuesday, 4/23/’13 @ 5:00 pm PDT (TV= FS-PrimeTicket)

Clifford still showed signs. King brings absolutely nothing. Can't PK, can't PP. It's been all damn season with this guy.

Meh. Clifford has a really low season. I don't see much of a difference. My point is at least give him another full season before you behead him.

Didn't take long for the main board thread on Brown

Maybe the Kings just wanted to screw Dallas after that last game, because a MIN win would certainly do that.

I think the problem is the kings are having a rough time with the speed of the boards. It's too fast for them.

That's what i was thinking a while back, we need more hits to slow them down.

I wonder if Sutter would just bench the whole top six.....That would be something.

It's been that way since he's been moved to a different pairing away from Doughty. Goes to show you how good Doughty is in making a very average player look slightly above average.

Hence brodin with suter

This second period has been really long..

This second period has been really long..

And boring... Don't forget boring.

Brown is predictable. it's just people refuse to accept what Brown is.

Brown is a Streaky winger, always has been.

But you can count on, that he will pick two to three months out of the year, where he plays like a monster.

Good post. I've been saying this for a couple years but it's never popular unless Brown is on a hot streak.

 

[TonySCV]

9 total shots for the Kings so far. I sure hope they've got a world beater 3rd period in store. Probably not.

Just goes to show how important even simple passes are. You don't connect, you start running around. You don't connect, and you're constantly chasing pucks and players.

 

[Shellz]

And boring... Don't forget boring.

Which is probably why it's been long

 

[Omni Owl]

Wow **** this game

 

[KingsCorona]

Fans said that about Clifford too.

I think it's a bit different than with Cliffy. Cliffy always showed some skill and potential along with his toughness, he was just inconsistent.
Of course that inspires the sort of love/hate that makes you simultaneously want to trade and develop him.

King is really pretty consistent, though.
I don't think he is terrible for a bottom 6er; he is big, good on the forecheck, wins board battles, works hard, and is a "good enough" skater. But the guy seriously has NO offensive skills at all and has never really displayed any. Not shooting, not passing, not receiving, not positioning, and for all his size he doesn't even make many hits.

I'm pretty ambivalent about him overall. He is okay, he just doesn't add much to the line to make it either dangerous or hard to play against.

Kings just going through the motions.

Jesus did Carter rip into that one.

 

[KingsCorona]

HAHA! Buzzer Beater by Carter! WOO!!!
Holy smokes that thing went so fast it went back in time!

 

[taz346]

Just in time Carter. Way to end the 2nd

 

[CNS]

LOL please tell me Carter beat the ****ing buzzer. Would be HUGE.

 

[Live in the Now]

That shot.

 

[Little Psycho]

Looks like Kopi forgot how to shoot. Needs his shot mentality back

 

[Puck U]

Carter !!! or too late ? should count

 

[Ollie Weeks]

holy crap

 

[Moses Doughty]

Carter does what Carter does best. Chris Paul has nothing on him

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Jeff mother ****ing carter

 

[Telos]

What a ****ing goal wow! Amazing shot.
