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

[Sol]

I hope Blake sees this game and realizes there's no way the Kings should be buyers. Sidney Crosby wouldn't have helped that period.

Blake's biggest concern should be stevens.

Kings need to be buyers to fix the mess.

 

[Little Psycho]

I was out so I missed the first period. Now I'm back, looks like I might miss the 2nd and 3rd periods as well.

Blessing for you.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Kings need to be buyers to fix the mess.

How much do they have to buy to fix is though? Need another scorer. Need another d-man. Both will cost a lot.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

I really like Amadio, but does he bring speed? He doesn't seem particularly fast to me. Mitchell is faster.

I loathe Mitchell though. I'd prefer the 3rd round draft pick even if it meant monitoring that guy in the Prospects Thread and never watching him play hockey save for his CSB video after he flames out and heads to Europe.

Maybe “speed” is the wrong word but Amadio is at least noticeable when he’s on the ice and brings energy, the only time Mitchell was noticeable this period was when he took the penalty that started the train wreck

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I hope the dads are getting shitfaced. The Kings seem to fear teams with an aggressive forecheck.

Amadio is actually pretty quick. Above average speed.

Yeah I mean I’m not trying to say he’s the fastest skater on the team of course, but he can turn on the jets especially in the open ice. Just doesn’t make sense to scratch him against a fast-paced team like Nashville

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

where's stolly when you need him..

The Kings desperately need some of his special sniffing salts

need da grit

andreoff smash

oh wait he doesn't even do that

 

[Sol]

This probably wouldn't have happened if Stevens didn't dismantle the line up after a phenomenal performance.. What's even worse this stupid decision can likely start another losing streak.

As they should, especially in this configuration. Doughty is the best transition d-man in the league and he's having a bad night. The only other two puckmovers are on the same timebomb pairing, and LaDue was benched in favor of going with a pairing who will only see the outside of their zone when they go for changes in the 2nd period!

 

[bob77]

Forbort
Stevens
Clifford
Mitchell

All need to go.

Pathetic coaching and pathetic players.

To me Forbort has been OK. Gravel is scrambling bad.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

To me Forbort has been OK. Gravel is scrambling bad.

He's clearly in over his head in the top pairing role.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Could have had Gallant.

 

[bob77]

What the **** was Martinez doing there?

What was Quick doing? He’s got to calm down in the net a bit. They say wow great save. But, on many of these he is diving back from a spot he had no business being in in tge first place

 

[kingsholygrail]

He has no defense to rely on so he's trying to do everything.

 

[Sol]

The amount of poise Gravel has with the puck is much better than Forbort. Being good defensively is nothing if you can't pass, skate and control a puck. Gravel has more tools and less experience.

Forbort is garbage.

 

[kingsfan28]

Looking at the Cliffy penalty, he hit Subban in the shoulder, PK grabs his face!

 

[Bandit]

You know what else I'm tired of? NBC games.

It's no surprise Quick gets lit up so much. He's always flailing.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Weird things happen in Nashville-LA games, so looking forward to weirdness at least.

Dismantle. No need to embellish.

Shore is terrible. He shouldn't play at all, ever. He brings nothing to the team. Not fast, doesn't hit, doesn't score, doesn't win faceoffs. The lineup was not dismantled though.

 

[KingsFan7824]

He has no defense to rely on so he's trying to do everything.

Hence the need to calm down.
