GDT: Game 5: Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings, 5pm PT

[Boo Boo]

Idk if I agree. Yeah he'll find Cutter and Killorn on a pass you wouldn't expect to work a couple times a game but it's not like he's doing it every shift.

Fair enough - I haven’t seen it as much this year but last year he was magical at times

 

[Arthuros]

*first goal sadness intensifies*

 

[Vaakou]

Johnston, god that guy is a waste of space.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

They won't learn. I absolutely believe that these guys take so many penalties because they are poor skaters. We need better skating forwards badly.

Killorn is a terrible skater but Mac isn’t

You’d think McT was at least 3 years older the way people give up on him 5 games into a season and question if he can get any better

TBF not taking stupid penalties should be an easy thing to improve and he hasn’t

 

[KelVarnsen]

The PK this years seems to be let the other team have as much zone time as they want and hope Dostal can make a save.

Stop, noone have said that.

Good shit Killer.

Might as well have been this.

His first steps aren't great. He reaches a ton when guys are trying to go around him.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Kilorn had full possession and plenty of space and could’ve easily skated it to the red line and put it deep so a change could be made, but he decides just to flip it off the glass

It's not a talent or skill issue with him. A lot of mistakes come from the mental side of the game. Maybe more experience helps with that but there's not much you can do to fix a lack of intelligence/intuition.

He’s cooked. I’m baffled that they haven’t swapped him and Terry

 

[Arthuros]

Man, we are doing NOTHING on offence tonight.

The more I watch Mctavish the more I just don’t think he’s gonna be very good at all

i’ve definitely read multiple messages like this even if im not posting

Meant to quote vaakou, not knoll

 

[HanSolo]

f*** me. Killorn had one good shift and he's back to being an idiot.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz (the sleeping kind, not the Zegras kind)

 

[Vaakou]

Bad hockey game

 

[KelVarnsen]

10 F-ing shots through 2 periods is just sad. This team has talent but for whatever reason can’t put it together. They are thinking their way around the ice making them a step behind instead of just playing hockey.

It is what it is, i guess. People think he’s dumb on here but i’m willing to afford the patience.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Please. Change. Something.

Anything.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Bad players, bad coaching, bad team

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

Stop, noone have said that.

it has indeed been insinuated

 

[KelVarnsen]

Please. Change. Something.

Anything.

Ole man Cronin is either too stubborn or just dumb. At the end of the 2nd against Utah, he put Vatrano on Leo’s line for a few mins and they generated chances. At the start of the third, he immediately went back to the original lineup. Not sure why but he doesn’t seem very averse to trying something different right now.
