GDT: GM#56 LA Kings vs Carolina Hurricanes @4:00

[Herby]

Great job icing the puck Muzzin. def draw that Kempe won, but that's not knowing the situation.

 

[Herby]

My only Kings game I've seen at Staples this year was vs. Carolina. This first period reminds me of the 3rd period and OT of that night.

 

[The Pale King]

Their fourth line putting on a clinic. Yes, they're a faster team but they shouldn't be winning the cycle game this cleanly either.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Kings can't handle the Canes speed. Canes roster top to bottom has significantly more speed and we have no clue how to counter that

It's the 50/50 puck battle losses. Win those, and you can look faster.

welp slashing ain't a penalty tonight

 

[KingPuckChoo]

it would be so smart to start offloading contracts, trading for picks and prospect, etc

 

[deaderhead28]

I see Quick hasn't disappointed his save percentage lately lol

 

[tny760]

gaborik is just complete trash

hasn't made a single good decision with the puck all season long

 

[Winger23]

It's not completely new. It's been going on for years. Been giving up goals in bunches for a few years too. They got their last coach fired. Stevens is more of a players coach, and they're still doing it. It's the players. They know their situation. They're not 8.

Actually no, shitty starts are new this year. Yes they used to give up goals in bunches, but they never used to give up all these goals with the first few shots of the game. They aren't prepared to start the games.

Who you going to offload that would help rhis team to be competitive?Unless it's Gabby or Kopi's contract or Browns it doesn't help this team to be competitive.You would've to add assets to get rid of those contracts.

welp slashing ain't a penalty tonight

It will be later against the Kings

 

[Winger23]

Mitchell again. God he's f***ing terrible

 

[The Pale King]

It will be later against the Kings

what'd you mean "later"?

 

[tny760]

It will be later against the Kings

stempniak got away with the slash of the century earlier if that's a slash..

 

[Crosstraffic]

Faulk me. Kings look brutal tonight. 12 should be watching from the press box.

 

[The Pale King]

Three goals from defensemen in one period? Finding new ways to lose.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Actually no, ****ty starts are new this year. Yes they used to give up goals in bunches, but they never used to give up all these goals with the first few shots of the game. They aren't prepared to start the games.

And they couldn't finish games before. 3-0 late 2nd period lead at home with the division on the line against the Jets, and they couldn't get it done. The start, the middle, the finish, they've been inconsistent in each for the last few years. What's the difference? They've come up small in so many instances in so many games since Game 5 against the Rangers.

 

[Sol]

Team is doing awful and so is Quick as usual, typical.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings are getting dominated in every way possible. This is a paddling of the grandest level. Only two shots on goal. Truly pathetic.

 

[tny760]

skinner deserves 2 for the acting

 

[KingTrouty]

This is what Marcellus Wallace felt in the pawn shop basement

 

[The Pale King]

Worst period I've seen this year.

Talking about this year. They play fine in the third, again their starts kill them this year.

 

[SFKingshomer]

It's because I started Quick

Carter
Clifford
Lewis
Martinez

i'm talking of rebuild so don't say lewis is heart and soul blabla doesn't matter if we suck

get rid of these fine men
retool

id listen to offers for Doughty
if i'm getting 4-5 pieces for him, id listen

there's no point in having 1 stud D and 5 shitty Ds

when you can perhaps eventually have 6Ds that belong in the NHL (for example)

im just saying AS A EXAMPLE ok? before you angrily type away, understand the essence of what i am saying here

there's no point in having Kopitar + Doughty + Quick and a bunch of misfits

we've done it 3 straight damn years now, entering our 4th

we're just postponing the inevitable
