GDT: New York Rangers at Los Angeles Kings - January 8, 2015 - 7:30 p.m. (PST)

Kopitar has been making stupid passes all night. Can he please be benched?

For who?

 

[onlyalad]

PK goals don't count against +/- or Corsi so all is good. :sigh:

 

[DocWest]

Why won't we drive the net? I don't understand why we avoid it so damn much.

 

[taz346]

Kings completely back on their heels. It's panic time

 

[Reclamation Project]

This ****ing team is embarrassing. Four unanswered goals after leading 2-0? **** off. Absolute trash.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

So wretched.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Muzzin and Stoll want nothing to do with the puck. So many players performing like turds. Lot of guys are at fault for the Kings' abysmal play of late, and it starts with the supposed leaders on this team.

 

[Herby]

And you'll be there to blame every goal against the Kings on him even if he wasn't playing. You've been on the Richards hate train for the last year and a half.

Really, I blamed Richards for the Kings goals tonight?

Might want to look at Post 194 of this very thread

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

For who?

For a good Kopitar who can make smart plays and isn't afraid of contact. He panics with the puck now and has been a turnover machine.

 

[TheSentinel]

Time to start breaking skulls on penalties if the Rangers want to manufacture penalties

 

[Chain]

Really wish they'd stop trying to just stand around the perimeter passing looking for some perfect shot. Seems to me most of our goals come off one timers or crashing the net, not passing around the perimeter until we turn it over.

 

[KINGS17]

And you'll be there to blame every goal against the Kings on him even if he wasn't playing. You've been on the Richards hate train for the last year and a half.

...and Herby has backed his opinion up with facts pretty much every step of the way.

What do we get from the other POV? Intangibles!!! He's a winner!!!

Don't get me wrong I respect everything that Richards has accomplished, but I think the Kings could use some new blood in his role.

 

[DocWest]

Kings have zero confidence. Look like they are afraid to touch the puck. Disgusting.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

I wonder if DL is regretting keeping Greene over Mitchell.

 

[Reclamation Project]

So what's the excuse tonight? It's ok because the Rangers got up against the Cup champs? That it? This team looks like absolute ****.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

If Sutter is going to sit McNabb, might as well sit the other dumdums on the roster who have performed much worse than McNabb has at any point this season. This is just brutal hockey.

 

[Little Psycho]

this team is too ugly to watch

 

[kingsholygrail]

I hate to say this, but this team is mentally weak. They can't hold leads because any goal against them opens flood gates. They then can't score because no one wants the puck..Teams don't even bother playing their starters against us anymore. No one's dropped the gloves.

 

[DocWest]

So what's the excuse tonight? It's ok because the Rangers got up against the Cup champs? That it? This team looks like absolute ****.

I'm so sick of ****ing excuses.

 

[KINGS17]

It doesn't appear that the Kings have enough defense on the blue line, or with the way the forwards are playing this season to make another serious run.

Dean is going to have to make a move to correct the situation, and soon.

 

[Bandit]

We're not going anywhere this year with the defense we're rolling out there. It's going to be a first round exit, if we're that lucky.

 

[Chain]

I wonder if DL is regretting keeping Greene over Mitchell.

Worst mistake DL has made, imo. A rare dark spot of an otherwise awesome job he's doing.

 

[AKAY47]

It's so funny to me that Jim Fox and Bob Miller NEVER say a bad thing about the Kings. I mean, I know we won 2 cups in 3 years but holy ****, you can be a little bit negative and help the fans ease their mind. This team is poor, I don't know if we're missing Voynov or the aggressivness of Regehr. Jonathan Quick isn't playing well either but our D is nowhere near what it used to be. I can't watch McBain and Schultz, it hurts my eyes. Why is McNabb not playing? How are Schultz and McBain better than McNabb?

 

[DocWest]

When was the last time Brown scored? October???

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

At least they feel safe with a two goal lead.

...said no team the kings play ever.

We've just changed guys, we are no longer a defensive juggernaut, we are just riverboat gamblers! Since the NHL thought we were boring, we went out and got high octane offense and sucky defense in guys like Mcbain. Now we just need to trade for karlsson, mike green, and ovechkin. Game on!

Take a lead, I dare you!
