GDT: GM#70 LA Kings vs Arizona Coyotes @7:00

[KingPuckChoo]

Lmao. You are seriously using 0% for a forward yet giving kuemper full credit for the wins.

Newsflash, kuemper was not a world beater every game. You absolutely trade a backup goalie who is going to leave anyways regardless if the guy in return works out or not.

This season isn't going to be lost because a backup goalie isn't around to play in 4 games period. Talk about needing to think deeper.

really no newsflash there, a backup is important you're the one that needs a reality check

but anyway enough

Kopi and Carter are ghosts right now. 3rd period line blender incoming.

As long at it kills this awful Reider-Carter-Lewis line I am ok with it.

 

[Legionnaire]

When did Jim start doing play-by-play???

All season long I've been yelling at Jim to shut the f*** up. I don't know if they've called 10 faceoffs all season because Jim just won't shut the f*** up after a stoppage. Bob was a true master to be able to get Jim to shut the f*** up.

Carter seems to have hit a bit of a wall. I’m sure he’ll break through it, hopefully before it’s too late.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It’s not really about how good or bad he is, he’s redundant. Kuemper was not.

He’s barely noticable. I was hoping he’d at least be as useful as Brad Richardson was.

 

[kingsfan28]

The last good chance was the goal Pearson scored...15 min ago!

 

[Sol]

Carter is ass. Right where he left off in the beginning of the season.

 

[Winger23]

I don’t know, 8 points in the standings would come in pretty handy I think.

So it's automatic he gets the 8 points? I'm pretty sure he'd be losing tonight as well. Campbell already has 2 of them so.....

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Kemper isn't winning this game for la guys you are arguing over absolute nonsense

 

[123slam]

If Quick doesn't go in beginning of the 3rd, I say we lose. I think we'll score enough goals to just win it, but Campbell will let in another softy.

Rieder is utterly useless

benching him is beneficial

i actually prefer Andreoff in the lineup, and i'm the president of the Anti Andreoff fanclub

LOLZ goalies dont make a difference when your team infront of you is shit - said people that don't know shit

ask the Habs how much an impact a goalie can have on a game

Right. It's me and not you. Got it. At least you got the enough right.

 

[kingsfan28]

Haven’t been able to hang with speed at all.

When you're not trying it's pretty easy. They've been just doing warm up laps for the last 40 min.

 

[Bandit]

Better players give you a better chance, that’s not a revolutionary idea. On one had you have a guy who got points in every start he made for your team save 1, on the other hand you have a guy with 0 nhl wins and 0 nhl starts in what? 4 years?

Pretty straightforward.

 

[johnjm22]

Campbell has been average. If any other goalie were playing for the Kings right now the score would probably be the same.

The Kings are losing because they're not generating any scoring chances. Coyotes have clearly been the better team.

 

[SlimCharles]

He’s barely noticable. I was hoping he’d at least be as useful as Brad Richardson was.

Yeah, which is unfortunately what I was expecting when we traded for him. I never knew much about him in the first place, which probably means he's not that good. Meh.

 

[tny760]

i'd argue that kuemper stops those first 2, he'd be sealing the post, upright, chillin for the first and in a butterfly slide for the 2nd instead of swimming like campbell was

nothing you can do about the 3rd, i'm not gonna blame campbell for this though. the team is playing like garbage no matter what goalie is in net

I don’t think he’s been bad, just that we had a guy with more experience and more success and we traded him to add another plug to the roster. Just don’t see the upside.

Ask the habs...the playoff cup favorite habs each year. You are talking about their back up goalie right?

 

[SlimCharles]

100%

 

[Butch 19]

Why does it seem like AZ wins every 50 / 50 puck?? They are outworking the Kings all over the ice.

This should be an easy 2 point game, but they would have to be extremely lucky to get one point.

 

[kingsfan28]

It would be a gd miracle if they got a point out of this game.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Campbell could be better and we could split those hairs all day, but the bigger problem is the Kings' inability to generate pressure on scoring chances, too much one and done, not enough effort to get to the ugly rebounds Hill is giving up. and with that lack of zone time, Coyotes have easy 'breakouts' just rimming it around the rink all day.

On the bright side, we're doing something new...we might lose to a backup coach

Really expecting a better effort in the 3rd but getting pretty sick of digging our graves and seeing if we're going to lay in them or change our minds and crawl out.
