GDT: GM #8 LA Kings vs Toronto Maple Leafs @4:00

[Little Psycho]

Right back at it tomorrow.

I’m not sure how many more games we have to sustain watching Shore filling in for Carter. That second line has been completely useless.

Can't replace Carter but something needs to be done.

1 goal loss on the road against the top East team? Not bad. Could have been worse with the homer calls by the refs.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

So it took a highstick goal, home cooked reffing, one of the best teams in the league, an entire line of forwards missing from our roster, and a phenomenal goaltending performance to beat us by one?

f*** it, I'll take it, even if it means we'll have to listen to east coast media clowning us the rest of the year.

 

[LAKings88]

Terrible officiating, no Carter, not overly concerned.

T.O. Is Canada’s great hope. Bigger deal for them to beat LA than the other way around.

 

[damacles1156]

Cant replace Carter.

Kings could try Iaffalo back at center.

 

[Davit17]

I hope we play the leafs in the playoffs this year. 4-0

 

[TruKingFan]

I think Kempe's earned the right to move up between Pearson and Toffoli. Silly me but we should try Laich center Cammalleri and Lewis. Another tough game in Ottawa tomorrow.

IA, though it's gonna be awhile before Carter and Gaborik com back.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Yeah, officials were pretty bad tonight. But Quick never had to go out of his way to pretty much ice those last two minutes.

Brown is a wrecking ball again. Love it.

 

[Sol]

I don't get pissed off over losses. It's the way they lost that pissed me off. One of the worst officiated games I've ever seen, insanely biased calls, and awful goaltending by Quick.

I don't blame the team one bit. Lost by 1 goal in a pathetic game. Good job on to the next. f*** these refs. And Quicks brain needs to be checked thoroughly.

 

[mbar]

What bothers me most about that ticky tack call on Quick was the fact that the refs refused to give us more legitimate calls moments before (Kempe tripped, Doughty pulled down. )

Seemed pretty homerish

 

[KingPuckChoo]

the reffing was bad yes, but the Kings didn't play a solid game either

Exactly how I feel as well. They’re not going out on a whimper. I didn’t mind Quick taking a swipe at Komarov though. He’s a diving asshole.

 

[Davit17]

There was no way the Kings deserved 6!! straight penalties in a close game like that.

 

[Stephen]

I've disliked the Kings with a passion forever and always cheered against them on their championship runs, always preferred the Blackhawks. But even on a random regular season game, there's a real snarl to your team and the attitude of a real champion.

After the shortie the ref was afraid the Kings would tie it up with Quick pulled, didn't want to take any chances. If you have to call that its a rough and a dive. Kings never get calls in Canada.

Thanks,

We like our Kings too.

Soft call, but no reason for Quick to do it.

No reason for the back ref who was 140 feet away to call that in a 1 goal game. The action ref who was right in front didn't even care.

 

[Esteban Tornado]

Boy i was gonna answer that leaf fan, but there is so much bs in 3 paragraphs, dont feel the need to waste the time.
Pretty good game by the kings, the still have some things to clean up, and if that is what the big bad leafs bring, I fine with this team where we are now. Dealing with carter being out will be an issue, but i feel confident they can handle any team right now.

Carter being out will hurt. No way around that.

Kings could have played a little stronger, I think the non calls got to them. Have to let that stuff go.

 

[Davit17]

I don't hate toronto the team, but I do hate their fans and the refs. The leafs weren't dirty by any means tonight. I just hate the fact that their fans are the ones complaining about how they could have had 18 more power plays. According to them, they also dominated us so..

edit: damn, my spelling is off tonight.

 

[Little Psycho]

What's Stoll doing behind the desk? Put him on the third line!

 

[KingsHockey24]

People hate the Leafs because we have the biggest fan base, and now we actually have a good team with some young stars. You can say all you want about my comments. Quick is a cry baby. Marners goal should have counted, how Martin gets shoved into Quick, then Quick gets up in position he cannot move laterally because your guy is sitting on Martin is not our fault.

The refs were bad in this game for sure. But on Komarov if he falls or not a blocker in the face is a penalty in any game. Further strengthens my arugment on why Quick is a baby. If he was a man and thought about his team, he doesnt do that. Did he have to do that? No you had possession going the other way. End of the day your goalie cost you.

You have a good team when you can win in the post-season.

It is a Babcock coached team.

Wings were famous for those picks.
