GDT: GM#58 LA Kings vs Buffalo Sabres @10:00AM

Wow I think Kopitar broke Lehner.

 

[kovacro]

Lehner is a bad goalie.

He's actually been half decent for them this year.

He's been no beuno today though.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Amadio getting more ice time as a result from Shore being dealt is the best part of that trade.

 

[Sol]

Toffoli kills everyone's testosterone whatever line he plays

Center depth next year could be really good next season if Vilardi makes the team which he should.

Yeah, he's inconsistent and slightly above-average. It doesn't help when you have a really bad team in front of you.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Amadio is gonna be a hell of an NHLer, even if it's just as a 3rd liner. So damn smart and so damn good on the wall with a touch of offensive ability. And if he improves anything like he's done in his previous career stops, wow.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Amadio has to stay up when Carter comes back.

 

[goosh]

Love the way the Kings are playing today, but this is easily the worst performance from their opponent this season. The Sabres without Eichel are just... atrocious. They somehow make the Kings look fast.

It's sort of like when we shellacked the Yotes. Yes, terrible team, but still have to take care of your own business. If it were anything but a resounding victory, this place would be in full mushroom cloud mode. Positives have to start somewhere.

I saw a lot of good signs vs. TB and Pittsburgh too FWIW even if the results were bad. They were signals to me that good things were coming.

This is also the easiest game of Quick’s career. He can go ahead and pound a case of Natty Ice and still get a shutout.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

It's good to have a crowded roster problem that's for sure. Don't forget it's not just Carter but Lewis as well.

At least the Kings are actually beating them handily. Seasons past this would be 2-1 going into the 3rd and then somehow blowing it and losing.

You are really going for the jinx today aren't you

You must not have any goalie friends IRL

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

At least the Kings are actually vesting them handily. Seasons past this would be 2-1 going into the 3rd and then somehow blowing it and losing.

Still waiting for the inevitable pushback in the third and the amount of hand-wringing that will happen if we allow so much as one goal.

 

[deaderhead28]

Mama mia, Amadio!

Waiting for a Lehner post game breakdown.

The ref's are conspiring against him before the puck goes in the net,ref's are already pointing goal lol.

Trade Quick! Oh, got ahead of myself there.

Very much like the Yotes game.

This team has proven it can play well in must win games against the worst teams in the league. Take the points and hope they can build on this one.

Phaneuf looks great so far and needed much more than Gaborik.

 

[Sol]

I honestly don't understand what happened to toffoli he had good speed, and now the guy is constantly gliding.

What the hell is wrong with him? Id say injury or poor shape, but ZERO hustle / urgency. No hustle. I don't get how this happens

Agreed. Carolina is probably the only stinker on this roadie so far. Not excusing the other losses, but it's crazy what a difference there is between a PIT/TB and Buffalo, especially without Eichel.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Phaneuf and Martinez developing some real solid chemistry that I did not expect, Muzzin-Folin is a great pairing, too bad that means Doughty is wearing a f***ing anchor again. Wouldn't blame him for leaving even if it just meant he stopped getting pianos strapped to his back.

 

[lexlavender]

Has there ever been anyone as cold as Toffoli? He looks like he lives in one of those frozen Ice bars, where he continuously drinks away the misery of not getting a 6 mil contract.

Yep color me worried. Something is definitely up. Gaborik-ish play, where he's just careless and sloppy too. Pearson is struggling but at least the heart and effort is there, Toffoli just isn't even moving his feet.

 

[Sol]

Trade Quick! Oh, got ahead of myself there.

He's 100% for a weak goal a game. This upcoming soft goal is going to be something to behold.

 

[takk]

I thought this was the one fixture Kings were bound to lose
