GDT: Nashville Predators at Los Angeles Kings - January 3, 2015 - 1:00 p.m. (PST)

[Ziggy Stardust]

@Rich_Hammond: Goalie change woke up Kings. They allowed 1 SOG in last 10:17, but still trail after first period for 4th straight game

Quick's needed a break. Kinda pissed they've been riding him.

 

[DocWest]

Jones should have started this game to begin with. The last time I remember beating the Preds, will still had Bernier on the team.

Quick's needed a break. Kinda pissed they've been riding him.

Yup, give him a couple off. 2-3 would be great. Allow him to reset a bit.

Observation: Every year since the year before they won the first cup, the Kings have had terrible luck/calls/war room choices during the regular season. Only to have karma swing their way in the playoffs and everything seemingly goes their way. I will take it.

For how long did they play with six guys?

 

[Bandit]

Quick picked an awful time for a personal slump and Sutter trying to play him out of it seems to have made it worse.

Can you really call it a personal slump when your own teammates are scoring on you?

Anyhow, thank god that's over, but the game is probably finished. Scoring 4 on Rinne is going to be next to impossible.

Stayed with Quick way too long. The guy has to be totally exhausted. Sutter has a habit of not using good sense sometimes.

If that were true, nobody would get hired at a job they have experience in. You wouldn't invest in stocks that have solid returns. You wouldn't take the safe route home. Etc etc etc.

How can he be totally exhausted 3 games after the Christmas break?

Trying again for how long did they play six guys???????

 

[Kingspiracy]

Trying again for how long did they play six guys???????

Not very long, hardly affected the play.

 

[The Night King]

Wouldn't be a Kings game this season without them giving up 2-3 first period goals.

Not really, I don't think he's been bad, but he hasn't been making that extra save a game we've been needing, especially given our current lineup deficiencies. Does that mean the games are his fault? No.

"Past performance is no guarantee of future results"

Of course, but even if you fully subscribe to that, you have to acknowledge a team that has done just that three years in a row.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Maybe not but it also should have been blown dead into a penalty the moment it happened.

Don't make us put you back on ignore

Funny, what I said is EXACTLY a disclaimer that is standard for advertising stocks and other blue-chip products....

Go ahead, I dare you

Should be a disclaimer hanging around your wrist when you are born.

I ain't mad at it, i'm more mad at our guys getting shown up by a strong forecheck and Cliffy taking a dumbass penalty.

 

[taz346]

I still think he's needed a rest. It showed today

 

[kingsfansince1967]

Second half of the period was more than. But the forechecking from the Predators in the first half of the period seemed to surprise and overwhelm the Kings. 2 of the 3 goals (Preds) were lucky ones.

2 periodes for the team to show that what Williams said about enough screwing around is for real...

Unless you are born Nick Lidstrom. Or Makarov. Or Datysuk.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Did they play a replay showing what happened with stoll and forseberg?
