Remember when the Kings use to make teams earn every inch of ice they got .... This roster doesn't, and hasn't done that for about Two season's now.

If Kopi starts scoring he's about on point for one million per goal!

Could happen.

Kopitar doesn't shoot enough, or go to the dangerous area's enough.

It's sad that there's almost no reason to even pay attention when Kopitar's line is on the ice. We basically have one scoring line, and it's one guy. Carter or bust.

Right now, you'd be hard pressed to find a more expensive, and at the same time less productive, line than Gaborik/Kopitar/Brown. 4 goals at 5v5 this year. Take the average in GP by each guy, it's .13 goals at 5v5 per game combined, which would be 11 total over 82 games. $21m in cap space.

It's damn near impossible to win with that. I don't know who the MVP is for the Kings; Carter, or the 3v3 point?

Just for fun, Clifford/Shore/Nolan, .21 goals at 5v5 per game.

 

[Bandit]

Lol. You must be joking.

 

[Little Psycho]

Lol what was that

 

[theMajor]

****in' hell the refs are bad this season

 

[Bandit]

Kopitar three feet from the net with the puck, pass to nobody

 

[damacles1156]

Kopitar trying to pass that, out of a dangerous scoring area.

That's the Kopitar season in a nutshell.

Imagine if we cloned him, they would just pass it to each other back and fortthhhh backk and forthh

 

[damacles1156]

I thought Sutter learned his lesson with Brown/Kopitar.

Brown can't play with Kopitar anymore, they have zero chemistry left. Brown needs to be in the bottom six, he is more effective there.

Gabo looks done, like Teddy Purcell, not an NHL player anymore.

Come on, we're only paying him 14 million, you expect him to have a backhand?

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Getting lots of comments on shield logo Palffy jersey. Good game so far. McNabb is struggling out there. Seto has had some good jump.

Kopitar can't even pass to teammates anymore, only to the other team. So really, it would just be a turnover over time he touches the puck. Frustrating to watch.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Did I see Mcnabb playing right side near the beginning or was I hallucinating?

He's been activated as far as I know.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I think he just ended up over there, not sure if that's how they started the shift but definitely something to watch for.

Probably the last dude active I want to see handling pucks on his backhand

 

[kingsfan28]

So much for Santa bringing a new pp for xmas.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Muzzin is the new Matt Greene.

 

[kingsfan28]

and the Oilers go on the pp...

 

[Bandit]

Game over?

 

[Little Psycho]

Damn Maroon didn't even think twice.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Muzzin is the new Matt Greene.

Nothing more annoying than unnecessary stick penalties.

 

[kingsfan28]

Oh, so thats how you score on the pp.

That was a carbon copy of last night goal.

 

[theMajor]

Oilers learned from the Nucks last night. same play, same goal
