GDT: Los Angeles Kings 3, Dallas Stars 1 (Final)

[Bandit]

The Kings sure love to force passes onto teammates who are being pressured.

They're playing like goals are awarded for pegging your nearest teammate in the ass with the puck as hard as you can.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Yawn.

God damnit Sutter, switch Brown & Williams up already. Just reunite Bropitar already. That's where Brown plays his best hockey.

 

[Little Psycho]

Always feels like an outnumbered attack

 

[TonySCV]

The road trip from hell continues.

These guys know they can't mail it in for 3 months, right?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Matt Greene is such a smart defenseman, said no one.

 

[kingsfan28]

Getting burned by speed is an understatement.

Hasn't it been said that Sutter likes to manufacture adversity during the regular season. Lose the battle, win the war.

 

[Little Psycho]

Yah take your sweet time

 

[kingsfan28]

Matt Greene is such a smart defenseman, said no one.

He should've gotten 2 mins for being stupid on that pinch that led to the penalty.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

And Muzzin continues to be the most skilled hot potato player on the team.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I've only watched the last few minutes but I've seen the stars go very clearly offsides three times

 

[CowMix]

Doughty playing forward out there haha

 

[kingsfan28]

We'll just let that interference go

 

[Reclamation Project]

Coming up on your right is your destination - .500!

 

[kingsfan28]

Boooo!
They played like a team on a 4 game losing streak

 

[kingsholygrail]

it's weird to say this isn't the worst 1st period on the road trip. lol

 

[KingsHockey24]

Sign and call up McBain!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Urgh why are Kings playing this early? Sounds like the game is not going well. How's it actually going (I'm watching Jets game mostly, Kings are supposed to be later games).

 

[CowMix]

Boooo!
They played like a team on a 4 game losing streak

Dallas or the Kings?

 

[Little Psycho]

@Rich_Hammond: In the last 6 games, Kings have been outscored 11-1 in the first period.

 

[kingsfansince1967]

Where oh where has the LAK offence gone!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings aren't really generating many second, third or fourth chances if they generate any scoring opportunity. Seems like it is a "one and done" situation and the puck quickly exits the zone shortly thereafter, or the opposing team gets a whistle.

They have to cause more havoc in front of the opposition's net, something they haven't been doing much of on this trip.

 

[The Night King]

Meh. When the losing streak gets long enough, they'll remember how to play hockey.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Doughty on pace to play over 32 minutes. What could possibly go wrong?
