GDT: Game 73: Los Angeles Kings at Minnesota Wild | Tuesday, Mar 22 2016 - 5:30PM PT

Who _is_ this color guy, someone they picked up from a college sports journalism program?

Former Coyotes, Flyers, Canes, Hawks, Sharks, Jackets & Flames goalie Brian Boucher.

 

[The Pale King]

Brian Boucher. Ex goalie and not a very good one. Lots of pucks off the noggin, if you know what I mean.

He did put up 5 straight shutouts though, which I'm fairly sure is a record. But yeah, career backup outside of that iirc.

 

[mrkolice]

slightly better than yesterday. i have some hope left here.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings corsi 23-4 in the first period, down 1-0 because our 4th line and 3rd pairing were a liability for 15 seconds...pretty normal I guess

Kopitar, Lucic, Carter, Doughty all at 100% CF% at the end of the first

 

[The Night King]

Yeah, I don't have much hope for this game. The wild need points and the Kings have clinched.

Only reason to be optimistic is they've been pretty good in the second of back to backs.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I don't want to play the Wild in the playoffs, I don't think I will be able to stay awake

 

[mrkolice]

4th line was a huge problem yesterday as well.

Biggest factor here imo

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to win this 1-0 and just traaaaap the rest of the game since we'll be disinterested in the fight it would take to break thru and abuse them

I miss Pierre. I feel like we're missing out on finding out Nic Dowd's freshman roommate's favorite childhood pet.

Don't need Pierre, just ask Gravel!

And yet Doughty's not better than some on the team so he's nothing special.

Well Muzzin is good too so Doughty obviously is not good

D'oh! Why didn't I think of that?

Dowd has been alright so far, I'm not unhappy at all.

We definitely would have learned that Dowd played up the road in st. Cloud, and that on his first shift he was not only high-sticked, but he was hit by an old WCHA opponent in Haula.

 

[Timo Time]

Quickest team to put you to sleep?

Devils or Wild?

Go!

Indeed he did. Hit me...

 

[Little Psycho]

Pierre that you? Aren't the Penguins playing or something

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Devils or Wild?

Go!

oooohhh toughie

I'd go with Wild, because they'll go passive 4-5 back, Devils at least want to hit you

 

[Little Psycho]

Go!

Devils. They frustrate the **** out of me.

Who needs Pierre? You're hired!

 

[kingsfan28]

I;m falling asleep.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Seems difficult for Luke Schenn to connect with a tape to tape pass, he has the puck skills of a minor leaguer.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

You have to be ****ing kidding me.

 

[Little Psycho]

Congrats Nic on your first penalty. You're officially a King now!
