GDT: GM #48 LA Kings vs Vancouver Canucks @7:00

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kopitar with 2 points and plus 1 and he looked every bit the best player on the ice.

When Doughty isn't god on skates and Quick isn't channeling 2012, we lose.

 

[tny760]

Give Brown back his Captaincy.Sorry Kopi isn't a true Captain.Its time the wrong be rewritten.

kopi was dominant tonight, don't even start that

At 10 mil a year,you expect him to be the best player besides Doughty.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

And he delivered, and continues to deliver despite the circus around him right now.

Exactly the wrong player to crap on, he's about the only King that showed up.

Hell his scoring lead has to be one of the largest in-team dropoffs in the nhl, 48 points for Kopi, 34 for his sidecar.

 

[deaderhead28]

kopi was dominant tonight, don't even start that

For what they pay Kopi i hope he is out their earning it.

A little.

It's his team, it's his circus.He's suppose to be the leader.I don't see the leadership.Brown should get the C back period.

"We're getting a little away from the good starts we used to have."
A little.

How many years qualifies as 'a little'

 

[kingsfan28]

not surprised that goal was taken away. it is award season after all #headsnapaward

A little.

But but wait til tomorrow,they'll turn it around lol

I didn't want Brown to lose the C, but ripping it off Kopi and giving it back would be a f***ing clown show.

Not sure what else Kopitar can do. 200 foot game, over PPG, guess he's just too Euro.

I don't want to defend ANY King tonight but I thought it was pretty clear Kopi earned his salary.

Again he's played 10 mil to score goals.If his side car was being paid that much, I expect the same.

Last year it was Kopitar's fault for not scoring enough. Now that he's scoring enough, it's his fault for the rest of the team failing to play simple hockey. If only a good old North American was captain, everyone would get their **** together.

oof.

Damn who said that, Stevens? Scathing. If only he showed half that anger in the game.

Edit: i see you edited stevens in lol.

 

[deaderhead28]

not even worth arguing dude

It's not arguing,it's a fact it was a clown show when they took it from Brown and gave it to Kopi.Ive a lot of respect for Brown,if this team disrespected me the same way,i be trashing the org.He's a true leader.

Lol Nice Diversion.

oof.

I wonder what the gameplan was.

 

[deaderhead28]

Stevens just step down.You couldn't be a head coach in Philly and Lombardi passed you up over Sutter.Theres to much sample sizing to not see he just isn't a good head coach.Great assist tho.

What next they lock the coach out of the room? This team is kind of a weird clique.

 

[tny760]

i think they should use lemon lime gatorade on the bench, not fruit punch

Maybe some of the players can return portions of their pay checks they haven't been earning and give back to the fans who paid for tickets and bought the NHL package.

 

[bouncesonly]

Since the loss to Calgary (8 games ago, including this game):
29 goals against, 15 goals for.
236 shots against, 231 shots for.
75 giveaways, 67 takeaways.
76% PK (30 short handed chances, 7 failed), 25% PP (20 short handed chances, 5 conversions, 12% if you disregard the NYR game).

Kings cannot convert their chances.....at all. And it seems like the opponent is pretty much guaranteed to score on the Kings giveaways, including power plays. Either Kings go on an offensive spree (which is lulzy) or they lock it down defensively (which seems like a bridge too far at the moment). Even if Carter comes back, how much could he possibly close this gap between goals against and goals for?
