GDT: GM #6 LA Kings vs Toronto Maple Leafs @4:30pm 10/15/18

Tanner Pearson is invisible as always.

Somehow, when I ask what top six forwards the Kings have produced, Pearson’s name comes up as one of only two names. The other being Toffoli. Low expectations, we have.

 

[Bandit]

At least we're outshooting them for a hot second... It's the little things.

 

[CupFever]

Tavares finally met Hyman lol

 

[King'sPawn]

The entire team looks very bad

 

[lumbergh]

By the way, Doughty finally on the ice for a goal against.

 

[tny760]

every time the puck gets deep in the leafs zone, one of their forwards just parks themself on the half wall cause they know a pass is going to the point

f*** this system dude holy shit, never seen something so predictable

Remember when the Kings didn't want to trade Pearson and LaDue for Landeskog? Good times (boy was I wrong about this one)

 

[crassbonanza]

Did anyone else see how bad Thompson was his last shift? Fumbled the puck on the breakout, almost leading to a turnover and then turns the puck over twice in the offensive zone after hard work from Amadio. This leads directly to an outnumbered rush and a scoring chance against.

 

[tny760]

look at the way kovalchuk pursues on the forecheck, head on a swivel, cutting angles

the only one not ruined by the system, everyone else just hits the spot and slowly strides back

 

[kovacro]

So Sparks SO incoming?

 

[mrkolice]

at least we're watching hockey, compared with the last game...

It’s too bad any time they try to fore check, they’re either going for a line change or everyone else just hangs back.

It’s no wonder this team can barely sustain offensive zone time.

polar opposite to teams who actually preach aggressive forechecking like the ducks and sharks.. send 2 in, block the puck deep and make that shift your offense, not your opportunity for a line change

so irritating

Seriously Thompson and Clifford are a waste of roster spots. They contribute nothing and harm the team cause of it.

 

[KingsHockey24]

1 goal in 37 games takes a penalty.

Don't talk like that about our 2nd line center...

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

So much for hoping that Kempe would make strides to become a better player this season. He still does the stupid shit he was committing last season.

 

[Little Psycho]

Haha don't miss Marleau

 

[KingsHockey24]

Forbort lol

 

[Sol]

So you're telling me having forwards around the net next to the red line makes for better scoring chances ? Whattt ?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Jack Campbell, the modern day Jason LaBarbera.

 

[tny760]

banked that off doughty's skate

unreal

 

[King'sPawn]

40:21 to go

 

[Sol]

I honestly feel bad for Doughty. He's easily our best defenseman yet our team is forced to play like nutless monkeys

 

[KingsHockey24]

What forwards have played well for us this season?

Iafallo anddddd Kopitar.

Bout it.
