GDT: Game 47: Los Angeles Kings at Arizona Coyotes | Saturday, Jan 23 2016 - 6:00PM PT

[Captain Mittens*]

I got the Massengil chills when he said that.

Didn't need to know that

 

[Buddy The Elf]

So commentators, especially former players are above calling out a player when he embellishes a call? He deserved to be called out. He went down like an Oiler forward, not a guy who's 6-2, 240.

He did call him out but when he starts showing other plays and raising the inflection of his voice to call it a dive, he sounds like me sitting on my couch. Look, I actually like jim fox and I'd never confuse him for anything but a kings fan but you look silly when your broadcasting and you get emotional with your opinion. You're supposed to be calling a professional game, not wwf matches. Not that he was that extreme but hopefully you get the contrast.

The only game that Brown had 2 goals in last year? Against the Coyotes. Brown's only 3 point game since Game 6 against NJ? That same game against the Coyotes. 3 of his 5 goals this year against Arizona. Threw a couple checks tonight. Maybe these are the only games he gets up for these days.

 

[Bandit]

Yes.

Or mention it casually with a little tact. Total homer move for an announcer to act so appalled and astonished about a dive. Especially when he's been calling the games for Dustin Brown's entire career. Fox is just SO upset that he just has to "call out" a player.

Yuck. I got the Massengil chills when he said that.

EDIT: Ron and others beat me to the point.

Pretty much. That being said, as a fan I have no problem calling Hanzal a low life chicken **** squid ***** for flopping.

 

[HookKing]

He called him out when it happened. It was a little much showing the clip of Hanzal stay on a feet then emphatically call it a dive.

Not really. That play was huge. Especially being a direct result of the goalie mask fiasco. It also looks to me like Tippett working the refs there paid a nice dividend.

 

[Ron*]

Is he suppose to act like it didnt happen?

Two seasons ago, he doesn't do this.

Unless you've been hibernating since 2013, Fox has radically changed his commenting style, homering more than Babe Ruth the last two seasons. One of the reasons why he was always held in the highest esteem was his absolute lack of bias in calling games.

That's changed, and in a big way.

The play was only huge because the Kings couldn't kill the penalty. It's not like it happen in OT.

 

[kingsfan28]

The funny thing is Dom is the one who initiates the contact. You can see he lowers his shoulder to hit Pearson before passing it.

 

[scryan]

He has definitely become kind of a homer. A LOT of other team's fans really don't like him and his whining. I don't find him to be TOO over the top, and I don't mind him too much... but not really a fan.

 

[deaderhead28]

The boys need to win this in regulation, Ana and SJ won it looks like.

 

[Ron*]

The play was only huge because the Kings couldn't kill the penalty. It's not like it happen in OT.

Or in the playoffs.

Domingue has done some strange **** in games. I can't recall the other weird thing that involved him, but it was something. That was the biggest bush league thing I've seen in a very long time. I don't think that mask was even loose.

Not really. He still pretty much still takes the side of the refs. Morever, he has never been held in the highest esteem on HF.

 

[scryan]

Pearson straight up checked him pretty good too though. Didn't just run into, pushed through a bit.

But I don't think your going to get much sympathy from a Kings fan over your goalie getting ****ed with outside of the blue paint... And its not like Pearson went looking for him. Tried to cut through, Dominguez cut him off pretty good and that hit happened.

 

[Buddy The Elf]

As long as we're talking about broadcasters, I love that Sean O'Donnell identifies himself as a king even though his biggest accomplishment as a player was with the ducks. He also does a good job with the analysis and is relatively personable on the air. I'm a fan!

 

[Reclamation Project]

****ing amateurs.

 

[scryan]

ballsack.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

That was easy, and McNabb and Doughty caught with their thumbs up their *****.

 

[Bandit]

Seriously **** this game

Like O'Donnell a bit. He has been a good addition for sure.

 

[Buddy The Elf]

Not the way to start the period.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

It's a 3-2 league.

 

[kingsfan28]

The Stars had something like 90 shot attempts and lost 3-1. Stars outshoot the Avs 42-15, the Avs had 30+ blocked shots.

 

[King'sPawn]

Garbage.

 

[scryan]

****ing ****. Just when things were looking good and Kings were set to come out for the third...Gave it to them.

Better at least get this one in OT.

 

[Ron*]

Kings look like the ****ing Leafs out there.
