GDT: GM#63 LA Kings vs Carolina Hurricanes @4:00pm 2/26/19

Sounds like things are going well.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

It's too bad the guy in the draft next year is considered the generational guy. Wonder if the Kings can be this bad again next year.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Jim might be having an existential crisis.

 

[Little Psycho]

Have some balls and sit out the vets next game.

 

[The Tikkanen]

The question is do you want Hughes in the same locker room with any of these vets? The attitudes and effort suck

 

[tny760]

wow foxy f***in trying to defend this team's effort

"name names"

KOPITAR BROWN CARTER TOFFOLI

 

[DoktorJeep]

Campbell in to sweep up in garbage time

He's more Tavares level and needs to work on his skating

KOPITAR BROWN CARTER TOFFOLI

He literally just said the question is fair given how often this has happened this year.

 

[kilowatt]

This is the 9th? Thought it was only the 7th hahaha. Oh boy.

including tonight's inevitable loss, we are 0-6-3 in our last nine. our last win was a shootout victory against philadelphia on february 7th

 

[tny760]

He literally just said the question is fair given how often this has happened this year.

which was him backpedaling off what he said earlier in the game and a few seconds before

he was blatantly trying to say "don't question the effort" then 180ed after having a second to think about it

I'm pumped. I think the capper on this season would be to set the team record.

 

[ru4reals]

And we have 19 more games after this? ugghh

19!!! That much.

 

[DoktorJeep]

I think they’re secretly dressing Gaspar Kopitar in Anze’s jersey

 

[Herby]

Let's talk the 2008 LA Kings.

Seven goalies played that year, including 19 games of Jean-Sebastien Aubin.
Still had two, 30 goal scorers.
Handzus played all 82 games, only had 21 points and was a -21 for the green jacket.
38 year old Blake and 21 year old Jack Johnson right behind him at -19 each.
Ivanans played 73 games!

19 games left for this current trash. Need 18 points to match this 2008 team. Need 15 to match the even worse 2007 team.

It is totally in ****ing play that they finish in this range. Pretty astounding stuff when you look at the dollars being spent, the lack of impact youth that at least the '07 and '08 teams had and the fact that this team has a Norris finalist and Selke winner/Hart finalist from the year prior.

At least people survived the Titanic and then a huge movie got made about it.

That's a way better situation than this current joke.

Kopitar was 20, Johnson was 20, O'Sullivan was 22, Cammy and Frolov were still relatively young at 25.

The worst thing about these last five seasons with the Kings is we've had to watch terrible teams and we've had ZERO impact young players enter the lineup, quite the awful combination.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Team played better when Carter was out.

 

[Sol]

Did Jim Fox actually say something logical. A pro-rebuild comment. Wow.

 

[ru4reals]

Is there an edge though? I've heard they're interchangeable early last season.

I'll take anyone with any upside. Either one will do right about now. Our system is lacking a very high end prospect aside from maybe Kupari and this team has holes everywhere it's gonna be another looooong 40 years to another cup.

 

[Sol]

Wow some actual candor between Fox and Faust about the Kings situation.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Wow some actual candor between Fox and Faust about the Kings situation.

All these losses in a row were eventually going to have some effect

I can’t believe there are some people out there who firmly believe that they haven’t been poorly managed and have actually drafted well.

The results in the NHL and AHL sure back that up.

 

[kingsholygrail]

They might gain if they were in regulation, but the OT/SO losses are actually hurting them.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Waited for game 61 for Fox and Co. to clue in on how bad this roster is.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

At least they’re not getting shutout. Baby steps.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Lol, of course, Brown. Good on him for taking the shot and not passing to Kopitar.
