Can someone explain something to me, it's obvious why you'd want to pull a goalie when down and needing a goal badly. But why do teams always put the goalie back in if the other team scores the empty netter? Why not just leave the goalie pulled. You're still desperate for a win and even though it's even less likely after the empty netter, you're even less likely than that to get a goal if you put the goalie back. Something I never understood, like taking a knee when you've got 30 seconds left in the 1st half of a football game.

It's kinda silly to give up multiple empty netters. One is enough.
 
We all know he's not a shoot first forward, but zero shots in unacceptable

He has no room. His wingers aren't scoring dick so defenders just rub up against him until they get the puck back. defenders don't have to respect Kopitar's wingers. At all. And that has been a problem since Kopitar joined the Kings.

That's just ridiculous, Kopi passes up wide open shots all the time. And no, this is a new low, there is a reason he's going to hit a career low in goals
 
Since we fired Crawford, which is why it's an annoying broken record. He's not a shoot first forward. Get over it already.

He's also never had fewer than 25 goals in a full season since his rookie year. He's also been the leading point getter, if not leading goal scorer, on the road every year since his rookie season. He's also never shot the puck, or at least gotten the puck on net, less than he has this season.
