GDT: pre-season finale LA Kings vs Anaheim Ducks @7:30 9/29/18

[Dexter Sinister]

I would take a year of Marc Crawford over another game of Stevens at this point.

I love everything he says he wants to do...then the system on the ice is the total opposite of what he preaches to the media.

Sounds like he should be working for the Sens

 

[Bandit]

relentless puck pressure right?

where the **** is it then...

Did he specify which team?

 

[Sol]

It is Forbort’s first game off an injury, can’t expect too much.

Must have been coming off an injury his entire career

It’s been a long time since our boys looked assertive to start a game.

That was frustrating as hell to watch. Kings can't get into any kind of rhythm with all those penalties, terrible turnovers and lines were jumbled up with all the special teams. In the few shifts that they got that period I thought Wagner and JAD did pretty given the circumstances and took a couple shifts next to Kovy.

He says all the right things but when it comes doing he never excutes it. It's mind boggling.

At least they'd score with Crawford at the helm.

He kept it interesting.

Slow start at home, slow start at home against a Pacific team, Quick still can't handle the puck behind the net or communicate with the defense, Muzzin thinking slowly. Next Friday should be about 7-1.

right? like, look across the ice and you'll see what puck pressure looks like

i parrot this every season, "send 2 forecheckers in"

 

[Dexter Sinister]

Would you rather.....

Watch a Stevens coached Kings team for a season

OR

Listen to Andy Murray talk while stuck in traffic trying to escape a natural disaster

 

[Dexter Sinister]

Etem not offered a 1-way contract per Kings radio broadcast

C) submit to said natural disaster and retain my dignity

Listen to AM talk, because that's less predictable and boring than Stevens trying to force Oscar f***ing Fantenberg try to break out a puck on his backhand while under pressure from actual NHLers. The natural disaster excitement is just a bonus.

Also there would be more physical contact between me and my radio than the Kings forecheck

"we're gonna be fast, all the back pressure baby" says Stevens, before going to the white board and erasing the play and then drinking himself stupid forgetting everything he said

 

[Sol]

Yeah I agree Quicks puck handling was pure aids.

Forbort was garbage.

Muzzin needs to be punched.

Refs decapitated.

That's all.

Etem not offered a 1-way contract per Kings radio broadcast

Etem can go back to the Amish Elite League and Thompson can go on waivers. JAD and Wagner make the team. My body is ready...

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I take it back, keep Fantenberg on his backhand, at least he doesn't have the power to ice it without pressure that way

 

[tny760]

i like watching these kids play though

 

[kingsfan28]

Twitter is already calling to fire Stevens.

 

[member 88115]

At this point in his career, Clifford doesn't intimidate anyone. But a MacD in preseason isn't a bad idea.

Neither is Wagner, Lewis or JAD and have barely played. Clifford does not need to fight to make his prescense know, he can run any of their skilled players and/or agitate Getzlaf enough to drop the gloves.

 

[tny760]

oh my god they called that pick???

 

[ru4reals]

Ohh yeah shorthander coming up.

 

[Little Psycho]

How did I forget his icing problem? f***

 

[kingsfan28]

Remember when we could have hired Gallant but chose to promote Stevens instead?!

No.

 

[Sol]

Omg. That dive. Wow.
