GDT: GM#51 LA Kings vs Nashville Predators @5:30

[Sol]

Is Quick's save % against Nashville below .800 now and his GAA above 3.0?

Id like to see the updated numbers for comedic reliefr

 

[kingsholygrail]

This team needs to be blown up. It was built for a different system and they're trying to force it to be "fast offense" but it lacks the tools for that. So all you get is this weird hybrid system where the defense and offense both suck at the same time.

Muzzin and Quick exposed again.

God our defense is awful today

Who sits a line up that produce a shut out and along with the goalie and puts in a line up that struggles to win?

A potato.

 

[Malice430]

why do they always embarrass themselves whenever they are on NBC?

 

[deaderhead28]

A potato.

 

[Little Psycho]

Why start Quick? Whether or not who's fault it is the goals, the guy historically gets bent by the Preds

Stevens is a f***ing moron. Doesn't matter if your starting goalie says he's good to go, you don't put his ass in if he has a horrible record against the opposition, especially since the back up had a shutout the game before

An incompetent coach.

That's the problem with Stevens. He apparently can't say no to anyone. Quick would start all 82 games if you let him.

Stevens sucks balls, but this cream puff of a team needs a total shakeup, top to bottom. Pearson and tofolli are literally invisible 95 percent of the games. The entire bottom 6 including gaborik can be replaced with high school players and no one would know the difference.

 

[Little Psycho]

Shutout

Totally. He has made stupid decisions but the team needs a big makeover.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Fact is, the Kings rookies are all lukewarm at best. Maybe Kempe is a little warmer. That's it. Pure mediocrity.

This goes all the way back to the Bernier days where they'd avoid Quick playing Nashville

 

[kingsfan28]

This more than a " just isn't our night game"

But in the end, you just have to go for it every game. So, I say use the newer system and let her rip. It either looks really good or really bad. It doesn’t matter if we win by 3 or lose by 3, or 1. 1 would look better, but teams don’t play this conservative D minded game anymore out of the gates. They go for it.

 

[deaderhead28]

Blake has to fire Stevens right?How can you really make anymore excuses for this lineup complete melt down and just out played since around Dec?

But right now, these players don't know what to do when they have the puck. The sheer amount of time they spend trying to make a decision is really bad.

 

[Sol]

Or as simple as not touching the line up after the best performance of the year.

 

[SlimCharles]

Yeah, there's no reason Stevens had to change the lineup so much...

 

[kingsholygrail]

Or as simple as not touching the line up after the best performance of the year.

Pretty much. Go with what's working, egos be damned.

 

[bob77]

I couldn’t believe they didn’t start Darcy either. It’s OK to stick and believe Quick is your 1 and for the playoffs, but, newsprint!!! This ain’t the playoffs yet. Go with the hot hand the rest of the way. Besides each goalie gets a rest

 

[Little Psycho]

I'm envious of how they enter the zone and able to pass to each other on the stick. They play a very smart team game. They're gonna be in the western conference finals.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Almost nothing more boring than a hockey team that doesn't score, doesn't hit, and doesn't fight. Someone try something. Send 4 guys to the net all the time. Disrupt something.

Just skate up and down the ice. They look like the husk of Mike Richards.

 

[Sol]

And forbort with the brain dead pass into someones skates at the end. What a surprise.
