GDT: GM#15 LA Kings vs Minnesota Wild @7:30pm 11/8/18

Pearson hasn't done anything right so far

Going on 2 seasons. What has happened to the guy from 2014-16?

 

[deaderhead28]

It looks like the team is allowed more offensive creativity.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

A CONFIDent jake muzzin is a beast.

 

[Bandit]

Pearson has to be the biggest disappointment of the last two years.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Kovalchuk is deadly.

 

[Little Psycho]

Carter is flying.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

"Does Kovalchuk still have it?"

Guy is instant offense.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

It looks like the team is allowed more offensive creativity.

Wonder if its allowed or more lenient on mistakes or creative plays?

 

[tny760]

kovalchuk was exactly what this team needed man

so much energy, every single puck he sees his #1 thought is how to get a shot off and nothing else

 

[crassbonanza]

I'm gonna have to get myself a Kovalchuk jersey, f***ing love watching the guy out there

 

[kingsfan28]

Kovy tee'd the up like it was the 18th hole! Don't get many chances like that.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

That's basically our first line right now, they're phenomenal.

This team might be pretty scary if they can get Kopitar, Doughty, Pearson going, and with Vilardi as a wild card.

 

[kingsboy11]

Jeez its like watching a brand new team since I've missed the last couple

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Was that "The Program" where they made the RB with fumbleitis carry the ball all over campus to his classes and stuff while teammates tried to strip the ball from him?

Kings need to do that with Kempe. Make him carry his stick below his waist everywhere he goes.

 

[TwzKing]

I wont get excited til this team plays like 10 games or so. Teams always have a bump of passion or whatever you wanna call it right after a coaching change.

 

[Bandit]

Kopitar robbed

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

God damn Kopitar is cursed right now, poor guy.

 

[Little Psycho]

Damn that was a good shift

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Not used to seeing this team play well in first periods.

 

[tny760]

what a save by dubnyk

i thought exactly the same as brown, that looked like a slam dunk

 

[kingsfan28]

What Kings team am I watching? They look quick, decisive and fast!

Totally agree

Too early to call it a 'change' as it's a new coach bump for sure, but man, is it more fun to watch emotionally invested players skate out to a 1 goal lead, shots 10-2 halfway through the first. Polar opposite of earlier this year.

it shows that they're capable of dominance though yknow? like you can be a garbage team and try your damndest and still be garbage, there's clearly a lot of talent on the kings bench

 

[johnjm22]

That long shift cycling in the Minnesota zone was Sutter hockey.

 

[Little Psycho]

Shook with the amount of shots on net
