GDT: Pre-Season Fake Frozen Fury LA Kings vs San Jose Sharks @6:00pm 10/5/23

[AbsentMojo]

on the plus side theyve gotten to work on the woeful PK w all the dumb pens

 

[Choralone]

Jordan Samuel-Thomas has worked his way up so quickly. It feels like only yesterday he was reffing in the AHL after writing some awesome articles for the Athletic.

I was a fan of his articles - really broke the game down well. Glad he's moving up in the reffing gig.

 

[Schmooley]

I dunno about Clarke.

Looks like a completely different player than how he normally plays and also from his first stint last year. Kings like to neuter the top picks into system players. Let the kid roam.

 

[Telos]

Daryl Evans got shut down there lol

 

[head eyes]

Daryl just have an aneurysm?

 

[tny760]

Daryl just have an aneurysm?

sounded like someone said something in his ear probably related to other mic problems and he just stopped talking

lmao

just a suit showcase

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Daryl pulling a mitch mcconnell

I like it when Doughty goes down low. He does better there on offense than on the blue line.

 

[tny760]

why's foxy downplaying that feed from doughty? that was an intentional f***in dart right to kopi's stick

 

[Telos]

Our offense is going to be tough to handle this year. Hopefully, they all stay healthy for the most part.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Doobie reminds me of Carter with those sneaky power moves to the net

 

[kingsfan28]

Daryl Evans got shut down there lol

He drop an F-bomb or something?

 

[Telos]

lol at Kempe's reaction when that went wide.

 

[kingsholygrail]

He drop an F-bomb or something?

Nah, just looked like a miscommunication between the video team and Darryl.

 

[Telos]

He drop an F-bomb or something?

Nah, he was giving a a follow-up overview of a player, but then stopped and went silent mid-sentence and silently stood there with the camera on him for like 10+ seconds. It is likely someone told him he wasn't on the air, but he actually was.

 

[Little Psycho]

Mehhhh gonna be a long season

 

[kingsholygrail]

Ah, the Lundqvist special by Copley there.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Stonehands Byfield.

Just pointing out that Laferriere, who is a few months younger than Kaliyev, has been put in a role with skilled players who complement his skillset, and is doing very well.

He wasn't forced to play on the bottom-six or told to play a different type of game before "earning" a shot.

They're handling him exactly as they should. It's almost like playing to the strength of your prospects matters.

 

[Little Psycho]

Special teams look special….in a bad way

On top of that, Laferriere has IQ in spades. He'll never haver Arty's shot, but man he's smart.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

I liked kaliyev's game the other day (other than the knee lol) but Laf has immediate chemistry with the other two

 

[King'sPawn]

He didn't get an assist on Dubois' goal, but his front-net presence forced the Sharks defenseman to respect him. That bought Fiala and PLD more time and space for the pass and shot.

 

[Rod Auger]

Ah, the Lundqvist special by Copley there.

 

[tny760]

that's an interesting breakout rush set play
