GDT: GM#23 LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers @7:30pm 11/25/18

[Oof]

I was about to ask why no one here recognized the song but then I realized I'm probably one of the youngest posters here

 

[BringTheReign]

Man, I actually feel awful for Oilers fans. Their boards are a tough read right now.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Why is Kovy in the doghouse?

Getting traded maybe?

 

[KingTrouty]

At what point is Brown no longer considered a bad contract? Insane the way he has turned his play around.

 

[dman3474]

Please no more Thompson

Doesn't he only have three more years left anyway?

 

[King'sPawn]

Was Kovalchuk injured? I can't imagine justifying playing anyone, let alone a top offensive player, only 6:20.

Sad to see Kopitar was back up to 24 minutes

 

[Sol]

Willie humiliated him tonight. I don't know what kind of message that sends when you make a guy with Kovalchuk's resume look like a fool on TV sitting there, dressed up as a Kings player but clearly not part of the team. The fans deserve an explanation.

Exactly. Let's hear them grill him

 

[mrkolice]

kopi with 3 points, but on some occasions he didn't even bother to get back to d-zone, leaving huge holes behind. that's not how we plays or thinks about the game.

 

[KingTrouty]

Doesn't he only have three more years left anyway?

Yeah something like that. But if he finishes with 50+ pts again, he and his contract are good, imo. Every player signed over 30 is a gamble to some degree. Brown is flat out producing again, with that motor he never lost

 

[redcard]

This is like getting a lollipop after a doctor's appointment.

Except you're an adult, he's a proctologist, and the lollipop tastes like where his fingers were.

I give zero f***s.

 

[KingsRule]

I bet stoll and otoole and company won’t even address the Kovy situation

 

[kilowatt]

He’s on a great contract. Sutter was using him the same way Desjardins is using Kovalchuk right now. Of course he’s not going to perform well with limited minutes and no powerplay time.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Brown had a great game, but i wouldnt get too excited until he puts it together for more than a few games. A lot had to due with Kopi playing decently for the 1st time this season. Kopi shouldve had his C stripped a while ago.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

If the Oilers ever get any defensemen who can move the puck they might be dangerous, but until then they are going nowhere. Larsson, Nurse, and Kelfbom are all overrated

I’m no huge Kovalchuk fan, but this bullshit is absolutely ridiculous. An interim coach comes in and pulls this shit with our biggest (only?) signing of the offseason? Go back to bagging groceries WD.

Speaking for myself, I'm including last season when I'm talking about Brown

 

[Bandit]

I give zero ****s.

Oilers and their 800 first round picks can eat it.

 

[KingTrouty]

Patrick O'Neal is wonderful. What a pro how he's handling this bad Kings season with Stoll. I really, really miss OD and Patrick, their chemistry. Patrick is so good tho, he found a way to connect with Stoll and they're great. Wish the Kings' play gave them better content to discuss, every night they have to pull rabbits out of their arses to fill the time

 

[AbsentMojo]

He had 1G 2A in 9 games this year before tonite. But again, maybe its Kopi that is hurting him. I dont want to take much away from tonite, he played great.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Why is Kovy in the doghouse?

 

[Little Psycho]

So why doesn't he bench the other vets that have been sucking all season long?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Thank Gretzky we at least get to watch Connor McDavid eviscerate us tonight.

We aren't even a combat tank at this point, more like a septic tank.

But ****in 5-1 Kings because hockey, and because that's the worst thing that could happen at this point.

SHRUG EMOJI

too late for a pulse, where the f*** were these vets before?

Showing up just in time to black hole us.

 

[damacles1156]

Kopitar finally raised to a challenge, good for him.
