GDT: Los Angeles Kings at Edmonton Oilers - March 3, 2015 - 6:30 p.m. (PST)

Stoll is as dumb as a rock. Please get the **** off this team in July. Lombardi bringing him back would be a huge mistake.

 

[taz346]

I don't think he can play on the bottom lines. I would like to see him get some ice time with Kopi.

Oh I'm sure he'd feed the puck to Kopi, but the problem is Kopi would just feed it right back to him.

How is Stoll a great defender for the Kings when he's in the box?

It's genius really, he takes himself off the ice when the other team is most dangerous. Cerebral veteran play

 

[damacles1156]

Stoll, how we love you now that Richards is gone. Welcome back to whipping boy status.

 

[Jeff18]

Up 3-0 still goes to the back of the net to slash at everyone.

 

[Bandit]

Where would they be if Kopitar scored a couple more goals?

Jan 19 '15 CGY @ LAK 0 0 0 -2
Dec 29 '14 LAK @ CGY 0 0 0 -1

I'd say firmly in a playoff spot based on those two games alone.

lol I'm pretty sure it's universal on this board at this point that no one really knows what Stoll exactly does for the Kings.

 

[Bandit]

Hey Williams did something right.

 

[King RAZZ]

Now for the power kill to click...

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Williams with good coverage-positioning there, credit where it is due

 

[Jeff18]

That's not even a penalty.

 

[Ron*]

Oilers defenders out of position all game long.

 

[kingsfan28]

Muzzin has been inches away from causing multiple breakaways tonight. His reads just haven't been good lately, even up 3 -0.

 

[Nefarious]

McNabb, fanning when he has a lane, and shoots when a player is right in front of him.

 

[taz346]

Sakera has real accurate pass ability

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I wish the dmen on this team were more like Matt Greene in getting shots through...

 

[damacles1156]

It's hard to believe the Kings have the 17th rated PP. Seriously ? There are that many worse teams on the PP?

Wow, that stat blows my mind.

We were 12th at the end of the 8 game win streak, dropped 5 spots since .

Well, one thing is he's supposed to be a great f/o guy. So much for that myth

 

[kingsfan28]

2-30 now against a bad pk. Did anyone want to score, or were they just running out the clock?

 

[Bandit]

Sekera looks a hell of a lot like a tan version of Patrick Sharp with his helmet on. And Brown... god the guy can't do anything with the puck the last few games.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Wow, that stat blows my mind.

It's why I laugh whenever people say more power plays would solve the scoring woes in the NHL. I actually think it would slow the game down and even lower scoring. A good PK is 85+%. That's nearly killing all PPs.

A good PP now is what... 20%? That's still only 1 in 5.
