GDT: GM#75 LA Kings vs Calgary Flames @6:00pm 3/25/19

[Raccoon Jesus]

I kind of always forget that Calgary is up there with Nashville for having a bunch of fake tough guy, high stickwork rats that only throw punches behind refs and hit the deck the moment they get contact

but when the refs enable Tkachuk as a 'leader' that's what you get i suppose

tkachuk is such a hillbilly
thick red skin, forehead full of acne, chewing on his mouthpiece like a boor
he really does feel like at home in farmland Alberta

Johnnie Bernier will do the Kings a solid and shutout the Sharks.

Haha, don’t lump Oil country in with cowtown. Anyways, happy you guys got the win but tomorrow is another story. Thanks for letting me vent on Tkurtle.

That was the best team in the conference? The conference sucks.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Western conference playoffs may be fun since literally no one has any goaltending of note.

Remember Calgary fans hailing Rittich as the answer and suggesting everything is fine, those guys have first round exit written all over them

 

[kovacro]

I’d like to see Kuemper and the Yotes’ sneak into that 2nd WC spot and take out Smith and the Flames.

That would be good times.

The only keeper I would be confident with going into the playoffs is Fleury. Just wonder if he is going to be at 100%.

I figured he would be back by now unless they are just being overly cautious with him.

3 IN A ROW BITCHES!!!



Oh wait....

 

[kingsholygrail]

This matches a season high for win streak doesn't it?

Are you serious? I know I haven't been following hockey intently this season but that can't be true.

 

[kingsfan28]

Toffoli was an assist away from the GH hattty!

They will probably get Col/Ari/Min though. Some light lifting there. Unless they suck more and end up with Vegas.

Afraid so. By a good margin too.

I'm actually enjoying how riled up HFBoards has gotten today over Doughty's comments.

I'm definitley grouchy because his play doesn't match his mouth this year but seriously 16 pages and counting is some sadly rustled jimmies

 

[TopT]

Damn, why dont they play Quick; this is just stupid

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Funny enough, Brent Burns has been on the ice for two goals that were his fault against the Red Wings tonight.

Drew speaketh truth.

After watching Burns play tonight, he's right.

I'd say the only team would be Vegas with Fleury, but if he goes down Subban won't save their team like Murray did with the Pens.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Started the day in 30th, end the day in 30th. Which is exactly where they were 3 games ago.

I mean, if those comments were anyone's but Drew's, they'd be an afterthought.

Another thing that sucks. Iafallo has 0 goals in 13 games. Why do the Kings have so many 'top 6 forwards' that have these 0 goal streaks that go 10 t0 20 games??
It's frightening. The top 2 lines NEVER are both contributing at the same time...and there is ALWAYS 1,2, or 3 of them having these 10+ game goal less streaks.
Never seen anything like this.

What sucks about it, is Alex will be playing there every game until the end of the season. Really wonder what Kovalchuk would have done, if playing 1 LW every game. He would probably be leading Kings with 25 goals, 25 assists and 2nd in scoring. And would NOT be -20 on that line.

but....Kopitar wants Iafallo on his LW and Doughty wants Forbort on his paring

WHAT THE KINGS NEED, IS A COACH THAT SETS THE LINES, PERIOD. NO PLAYER GETS TO
SAY WHO THEY WILL PLAY WITH. FUKKKED UP.

Iafallo needs to move down to 3rd line next year. He absolutely is a decent player, but he's not a #1 LW.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Toffoli was an assist away from the GH hattty!

Looks like the guy who put $ down on Toffoli with a goal and a fight against an ex-King won big tonight.

 

[kingsholygrail]

He's playing against Edmonton.
