GDT: Los Angeles Kings at Calgary Flames | Thursday, April 9, 2015 - 6:00PM (PDT)

[King RAZZ]

It's the same team. They are just out of gas.

How come they smell like they passed too much???

 

[KingPuckChoo]

those were 3 great years though, you gotta admit

 

[kingbrath]

Nah, no Mitchell. Voynov has been since pretty much the entire year, Pearson has been out for awhile, Richards fell off the face of the earth...its a different team in my eyes.

Not to mention the pisspoor play of Kopitar and Brown among others. Lewis shouldn't be in the NHL

 

[Herby]

Thank heavens his contract expires in July. He'd be fortunate to get another one-way contract. He's headed towards Colin Fraser territory.

And it's been all Flames in the first. The Kings look ready to go on a vacation, just like they did on Tuesday.

Well that is good news and all, but it's hard to get excited knowing a player who is even worse than Stoll is signed forever at almost 6m a year.

 

[Telos]

It wasn't either. They won in a completely different way from 2012.

Exactly, doesn't have to be the same team to win the hockey game. They have the same experience to overcome this kind of adversity. Bottom line is that it is only 2 goals and it isn't over till that third buzzer is all.

 

[Chain]

I just don't see people being mad at the Kings. They aren't losing on purpose. Just playing to their ability is all. Too bad so many of them have lost that needed ability along the way.

Making utter bonehead mistakes like Stoll made on that 2nd goal is simply unacceptable. Not much checking going on. Inconsistent effort. Fans have every right to be mad about those things.

 

[taz346]

Oh yes they would! They'd show us a hell of a passing drill.

You've been watching them haven't you

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Not to mention the pisspoor play of Kopitar and Brown among others. Lewis shouldn't be in the NHL

Lewis isn't the problem trust me

 

[Reclamation Project]

In a game where the Kings have done jack **** and are fresh off a 4-2 loss to the Oilers, we're complaining about the refs? Get real. This team is simply going through practice motions. They should just go home right now.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

For what it's worth, I respect your team a lot. No one wanted to play you guys in the playoffs. I really hope you don't get top pick though.

Why would anyone be concerned about the Kings getting the top pick? When was the last time a fringe team won the draft lottery?

 

[taz346]

Making utter bonehead mistakes like Stoll made on that 2nd goal is simply unacceptable. Not much checking going on. Inconsistent effort. Fans have every right to be mad about those things.

As I said, playing to their ability. Some don't have that ability. They're not screwing up on purpose

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Well that is good news and all, but it's hard to get excited knowing a player who is even worse than Stoll is signed forever at almost 6m a year.

There are two players on the roster who fit that description, and one of them is the captain. Ugh.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Oh and hey... Another quick set of goals against. Goals in bunches.

 

[Herby]

You have to score in the NHL, the Flames have incredible scoring depth. They are going to massacre someone in the playoffs.

The Kings didn't have it this year. Pretty much had to bank on Kopitar every night.

The Kings desperately need a player like Gaudreau, someone who is just instant offense.

Nothing wrong with having a 5'9 player or two on the roster.

 

[DocWest]

If we lose we should have a themed PGT dedicated to all the guests which will surely come by. Any thoughts?

All our haters are jealous rivals who wish they had the recent success that we have. Only Chicago fans know what we've tasted. 2 Cups in 3 years with a WCF in the middle.

 

[Hatter]

We've been down 2-0 nothing before, like the entire playoffs

This isn't the same team

 

[Captain Mittens*]

Why would anyone be concerned about the Kings getting the top pick? When was the last time a fringe team won the draft lottery?

Draft lottery rules are totally different now

 

[kingbrath]

Lewis isn't the problem trust me

Didn't say he was, just said he shouldn't be playing in the NHL. A small part of a much bigger problem.

 

[Little Psycho]

To describe this season:

 

[kingsholygrail]

Didn't say he was, just said he shouldn't be playing in the NHL. A small part of a much bigger problem.

Why not? He's a great depth player.

 

[Bandit]

So yeah, re-wound. Backlund hit Greene straight in the face with his stick.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Guest Count: 269

 

[Herby]

There are two players on the roster who fit that description, and one of them is the captain. Ugh.

Oh crap I forgot about him.

11.2m in cap space on those two, yikes. Lombardi getting out of this would be Houdini like

 

[Captain Mittens*]

They should get ball implants during this intermission.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

It's our own **** play that has us in this hole but it is pretty accurate
