GDT: Game 56: Los Angeles Kings at Washington Capitals | Tuesday, Feb 16 2016 - 4:00PM PT

[The Pale King]

Ovechkin with some absurd Cy Young numbers lately. 19 goals and 1 assist in his last 22 games. Wow.

I don't know their lineup all that well, but their bottom-six doesn't strike me as the fastest group out there. I've tried to catch some Caps games here and there but the whole Eastern thing throws me off.

They play somewhat deliberate like NJ. Think of Trotz in Nashville, except this team can score highlight reel goals that seem to come out of nowhere.

Is Quick coming back too soon? hate to see a Carey Price thing do down! He goes from needing emergency help to playing. Not even on the bench first? They could bring him in to get some minutes if it got out of hand a bit. But like anything, we didn't really know how hurt he ever was in the first place.

Hopefully not an issue. He was in full practice before the last game IIRC and most reports seemed to be he was doing good. So here is hoping it just wasn't that big an injury in the first place, and him not playing those couple of games WAS them being conservative.

 

[KingsKnight]

Sounds like it's Quick. (listening on the radio, so maybe this is old news)

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

We need to win this game!! One of my buddy's is a Ducks fan and he just text me to say the Ducks are only 5 points behind us.
Go Kings Go!!

 

[bob77]

Different D pairs so far

Trevor Lewis needs to learn how to throw a god damn check.

Refs need to learn how to call a game

Gravel on right side, which he's very used to playing, but with McNabb. Schenn with Martinez. DS Still searching for something he likes.

 

[TheSentinel]

Yeah, definitely missing most of the game

Kings playing with a bottom 4 on D.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Fourth line on the ice against Ovechkin's line. Oh boy.

 

[scryan]

Awww was that Sutter hugging Gravel? How cute.

 

[volcom92886]

#44 clamping down on King's stick for a few secs...no call

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

Really starting to like Gravel.

 

[bob77]

They need to bring up Forbort and have Gravel and him as a pair. They are very good together.

 

[HookKing]

Dumb hockey.

 

[bob77]

Really starting to like Gravel.

Why not. He obviously skates better than McNabb and Schenn. The Kings are faster with him in there.

 

[The Pale King]

Marty has to know that pressure is coming there. And the LD should be screaming at him too.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Martinez has played like a jackass on this road trip.

 

[DocWest]

Too much passing and zero awareness of time. Come on, boys.

 

[Little Psycho]

Why didn't anyone give him a heads up

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Just awful, Martinez.

And no slap from Quick? Especially in that situation?

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

Why not. He obviously skates better than McNabb and Schenn. The Kings are faster with him in there.

I agree. For his size he's great skater. Still like Schenn's physicality though.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I heard Quick smacking his stick on the ice. Martinez just took his sweet time.
