GDT: Philadelphia Flyers 2, Los Angeles Kings 1 (Final)

[Bandit]

Complain about Kopitar.. Leave Stoll alone who had two offensive zone penalties late in the 3rd.

We can't complain about both? And technically that last one should have been Williams.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Kings gonna lose to Buffalo.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Complain about Kopitar.. Leave Stoll alone who had two offensive zone penalties late in the 3rd.

Stoll actually showed some effort, created our only goal, and didn't turn the puck over every time he touched the puck.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Kopitar deserves Richards' wingers. He deserves Dwight King.

 

[DocWest]

Kopitar is playing like he doesn't give a **** all season long.

Kopitar didn't turn the puck over every time he touched it. Take a midol.

3 turnovers in the last 40 seconds. He was absolute **** tonight.

And there's a beautiful thing called hyperbole. Don't be so literal.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Calling Mr Gaborik, you're wanted

 

[Ron*]

Trash game. Our PP is disgusting. Kings should be embarrassed for pissing this away. These are the points that are going to hurt when we are trying to make the playoffs.

Not really. Kings will make the playoffs and this game will be forgotten except for those unsufferable Flyers fans for who this is their Cup.

I get it.. Every year we need a whipping boy on these boards and this year it's Kopitar.

It's nothing new. The Kings do this sometimes. Sometimes often. It doesn't matter who they play. It doesn't matter where they play. Sometimes it doesn't matter when they play, although there's a reason the Saturday afternoon thing is a running joke for years now.

Can throw out all sorts of reasons. Saturday afternoon game, at home no less. Bad road team on the other side. Eastern conference team. A game after a divisional game. Poor play, which isn't new this year either.

It's the Kings.

Do you think Kopitar has actually played good so far?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Do you think Kopitar has actually played good so far?

No, but I don't think most of the Kings have played good so far. Why single him out?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Koastpitar.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I get it.. Every year we need a whipping boy on these boards and this year it's Kopitar.

If "whipping boy" = "important player playing like **** with few excuses," then you've got it.

Whipping boy as in hanging all the team's problems around his neck.

No one wanna get on Quick for that awful gwg softie?

 

[Reclamation Project]

My enthusiasm about the regular season is at an all time low. Is it April yet?

 

[KingsFan7824]

No, but I don't think most of the Kings have played good so far. Why single him out?

Well he is one of the 3 most important players on the team.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

No, but I don't think most of the Kings have played good so far. Why single him out?

Because when it's clear they're trying to funnel everything thru him--Pp, carrying the puck into the zone at the end, and minutes in all "we need you" situations, his absence vs expectations is the most glaring.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Anze is playing like he did in the 2013 playoffs when he decided to turn into Casper the Friendly Ghost.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

No, but I don't think most of the Kings have played good so far. Why single him out?

Because he's our top offensive player. And he's looked worse than just about everyone else.

Kopitar is a star and a leader on the team. His play this season is unacceptable. You can't have important players play this bad and expect to be successful.

 

[Bandit]

No, but I don't think most of the Kings have played good so far. Why single him out?

Because he's supposed to be the offensive leader of the team, not Martin Hanzal. That's why.

Of course. That was crap. The pp was mostly crap. Offensive zone penalties were crap. There's plenty of blame to go around. But of course the most noticeable is arguably our most important player. I don't see any reason that's Not the first and most prominent discussion point especially given his failures tonight.

And I'm just about the biggest kopitar apologist on these boards

Would you trade him? He's going to get a pay day.

The first goal set the tone, but that second goal was pretty brutal. We still seem to be missing a little bit of grit too. Brown gets a couple of taps and Williams gets prodded but not a lot in the way of response. Where are Clifford and Nolan?
