GDT: Los Angeles Kings at Washington Capitals - February 3, 2015 - 4:00 p.m. (PST)

When Dwight King is your second best option on LW, you know you're screwed.

When Jordan Nolan has scored your only goal over the past 5 periods, you know you're screwed.

When your best players are only visible when they commit errors, you know you're screwed.

This isn't the same team as 2012 or 2014. Sutter has said so repeatedly, and it shows.

 

[Jeff18]

We could use a guy like Oliver Kylington

 

[taz346]

Said they were going to talk to Payne and didn't take place. haha, he's probably busy going over charts

 

[ElKingsFan92]

McDavid!

Not that it would ever really happen, but if the impossible happened and we did get McDavid, I don't think I would be able to handle McDavid getting 50 points. I said 50 because this is the Kings after all.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Have they tuned out another coach? I haven't seen many game this season...

 

[kingsfan28]

Here comes Trot's prevent defense. Over / under on SOG this period is 5, I'll go with the under.

 

[DocWest]

We're not getting McDavid. Don't get your hopes up.

 

[CowMix]

Sutter is going to play the ultimate mind game and quit mid season.

 

[AKAY47]

We've lost a ton of speed with Pearson out. Quite unfortunate, but Dwight King will do the trick!!

 

[damacles1156]

It wouldn't matter, this Core will not get another coach. Lombardi will dismantle this team before Sutter goes.

Lombardi is not going to hire another coach.

I do t think so. But it does look like either guys have lost some trust in each other or the system is failing. Too many "easy" goals for other teams. It's not like we haven't been scouted; we face the opponents best every single night and there's game tape of everything g we've done right over the last few years. Add that to our usual shenanigans, some bad luck, etc and here we are.

Yeah, Lombardi thinks waiving Mike Richards will send a message, though.

 

[taz346]

Still shots from outside the perimeter. For cryin' out loud guys, fight your way down in low for shots that have a chance at least

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Part of the problem IMO is teams dodging our forecheck. No one had an answer for that in 2012. And we never had to do the sloooow controlled breakout then either.

 

[AKAY47]

Both Dallas and/or Colorado can pass the Kings tonight, and the Wild can tie them. Kings would than be only ahead of Arizona & the Oilers at the end of the night.

lmao omg

 

[damacles1156]

I love when Fox points out "The Kings are working harder on the fore-check cause of the score"....Uhhh where was that effort in the first period ?

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

You'd think being fans of a team that was the champion 2 out of the last 3 years would be a never-ending party, but the Kings never do things the easy way.

The Wild take a flyer on Dubnik out of desperation , turn him into a top 5 goalie in a matter of weeks. The guy was days from being out of the NHL with ARZ, now he cant lose.

 

[AKAY47]

Still trying to figure out what Dwight King brings to the table

 

[ElKingsFan92]

Lllllllllllllloooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Poor quick.

I'm not eating in and out for the rest of the year RP!

 

[DocWest]

Hahaha

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings look like the Washington Generals.

 

[taz346]

Only one word is necessary......Pityful
