GDT: GM#22 LA Kings vs Vancouver Canucks @7:30pm 11/24/18

The VAN losing streak has to end sometime, why not tonight?

Look at that, I was right.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

We dont want Blake thinking this rusting hull has a chance to float.. so more losses earlier the better so the rebuild can begin. Nice to see Luff score again. Kovulchuk doesnt deserve any tough love, he should be traded for some picks.. I doubt he would mind at this point. He wants to win now and this team has no chance to win now.

This is very true. This is leaning towards historically bad, not just 'oh bad luck rough year.' No alibis there at all , especially since the goaltending has been good and injury fill-ins have outperformed the injured in most cases.

Alex Iafallo was the extra attacker, 1 goal in his last 7 games. Constantly rewarded for doing everything but score goals. No assists in 12 games but is cemented on the top line.

That’s the embodiment of Kings hockey. Can’t wait to see Jack Hughes centering Kyle Clifford and Trevor Lewis in the near future.

 

[redcard]

I'm starting to think we might not make the playoffs this year.

 

[TwzKing]

Love it, keep the losses coming. Trade. Everyone.

 

[KingsRule]

Can someone tell me why the teams leading scorer, Kovy, is not on the first pp unit?

 

[DAkings20]

Lol Nate Thompson was also out there with the empty net.

But Luc Robitaille said this is a Cup contender...

 

[kings11]

Lose For HUGHES!!!!

 

[The Tikkanen]

Who would you put there instead?

Luff? Reward the kid? Build his confidence?

 

[funky]

dear Mr Blake......I supported you thus far but if you are not on the phone purging this team of dead weight in the next month you have lost one of your biggest supporters. We have changed coaches.......no difference........traded a top 9 player........no dice. Pick up the damn phone and see what we can get. Still have a few pieces:

Carter
Muzzin
Martinez
Toffoli
Hagelin - eat a bit to get a better pick

Maybe people may want

Thompson - eat $500,000 for a pick or prospect
Clifford
Forbort

If you happen to drive by the rear of a barn

Phaneuf


That is all

 

[The Tikkanen]

We have a top line? They all look like 4th lines to me.

4.1

 

[Steveei]

12 minutes of icetime for Kovie? Is he that bad or is something wrong with your coach?

 

[kingsfan28]

The Kings have now past rock bottom and are near the core of the earth!

 

[The Tikkanen]

Lol Nate Thompson was also out there with the empty net.

He works hard in the gym.

 

[kingsfan28]

Top line -6 combined!

 

[The Tikkanen]

12 minutes of icetime for Kovie? Is he that bad or is something wrong with your coach?

The Kings have a lot of character guys who are more deserving of ice time. Work the corners, rub the boards, dog calendars, hard workers in practice.

Blues
Kings

Both of these teams have dug too big of holes now to climb out of. Almost guaranteed a top five pick for both of these teams.

It's the coach. Was averaging more before the change. Now he's a special team guy only.

Don't want to play him too much, he has to be healthy for deadline deal. Gets Blake out of that ridiculously stupid contract he signed Kovi too.

 

[Reaper45]

Lots of fat to trim off this roster.

 

[CowMix]

Maybe the goal is to get Kovy so pissed he demands a trade at the deadline.

 

[AbsentMojo]

This is a good draft to tank for.. I hope internal discussions are about a rebuild the way AEG got behind Lombardi. You cant tell the fans that mid season, its not fair to the season ticket holders (even though im sure the ones that know hockey would prefer it).

 

[Kingspiracy]

Nice toenails though
