GDT: PDSF: (2) Los Angeles Kings vs. (3) San Jose Sharks

[Raccoon Jesus]

Brown and Carter are magic. I'm gonna die by that sword.

 

[mrkolice]

Kopitar's line or Carter's line.

One of the two needs to be hot or we don't win series.

Everything else is fluff, although AA has looked nice on the 4th line lately.

1st line is tricky against the sharks, as they're avoiding direct confrontation. home ice is a small plus here.

2nd line must do the damage, here lak can make the real difference.

3rd line, brown - lecavalier - gaborik?

if marian is fit it could become a monster 3rd line. and to win the cup lak will need this line. that's my bet. brown, lecavalier and gaborik. healthy gabby is not just a bonus, he is the difference.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm eager to see playoff Vinny, too--if it's a step up, lookout

 

[YP44]

I hope playoff penner shows up..wait what year is it?

 

[SettlementRichie10]

You know things are dire on be blueline when we're psyched about Greene coming back.

 

[Sydor25]

How do you think the forwards would line up against the Sharks if the Kings were healthy?

 

[KingsHockey24]

I hope playoff penner shows up..wait what year is it?

Hopefully Frolov makes a comeback as well.

 

[lak4ever]

I have a feeling Toffoli is going to tear it up!

 

[lak4ever]

Oh man... What about a Scuderi/Greene pairing? Can Sutter resist the temptation to put those 2 together?

Sadly, I don't think he can.

 

[YP44]

Sadly, I don't think he can.

I am ok with it on the PK only (2nd unit)

 

[Trolfoli]

Brown and Carter are magic. I'm gonna die by that sword.

It's nice seeing Brown be that spark that gets Carter/Toffoli producing.

I'm freaking out!!!! Playoffs start in less then an hour!!!!

Sharks fan coming in peace. I'm making the GDT for game 1 and need the Kings lines, thanks in advance!

Hard to say exactly buuuut...



have to assume, with injures, that actually looks like:

Lucic-Kopitar-Pearson
Brown-Carter-Toffoli
King-Lecavalier-Versteeg
Andreoff-Lewis-Shore
Gaborik, Clifford extras

McNabb-Doughty
Muzzin-Schenn
Scuderi-Martinez
(though here I have to imagine it's ACTUALLY Muzzin-Martinez / Scuderi-Schenn? shrug)
Greene, Mcbain extras

Thanks!

 

[HookKing]

I think it's a big risk putting Greene in after missing more than half the season, but I hope Sutter makes the right decisions.

That's an understatement, he missed all but 3 games this year. So, he's played all of 3 games in a year. If Sutter has him in the lineup you know it's desperation.

 

[Quattro]

That line has actually looked really good since Brown went to it.
He's driving the net and creating space.
He's still just not finishing. But that is what Toffoli and Carter are for.

Hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good story...errr...rant

DS has begun his playoff trolling already.

 

[lak4ever]

The Kings need to do this again!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Lombardi setting fire to the Norris race, lol. Please deano, don't hurt them

I say let him do it. Burn baby burn!

Kevin Gravel is on the ice with the Kings. Roster move hasn't been announced yet. No Martinez.

 

[kingskring]

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Looks like Dean was reading the boards last night and all those posts calling for Gravel.

 

[Omni Owl]

We're ****ed with no Martinez. Now we won't even have a reliable #3 guy, let alone a reliable #4. Gravel should have played way more games during the regular season, but of course Sutter would rather play the **** show that is Scuderi-Schenn (those 2 should never be paired with one another again, one of the worst pairings in the league). Not even the system can save this D core.
