GDT: Preseason Gm 5: Anaheim Ducks at LA Kings | Tues, September 29, 2015 - 7:30PM PDT

[kingsholygrail]

Kings won't win the preseason championship.

Fire sale time.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Expected Bieksa to get the extra two for instigating there, but whatever. He got away with a pretty good pick on Doughty, early, too. These should be some spirited games when they meet again later in the season.

The ice looked pretty tough to play on and neither team could put together many passes, which contributed to the sloppiness overall. Mersh was effective in that context... and maybe Weal was less so.

Perry, Kesler, and Bieksa all on the same squad. Everybody is gonna hate the Ducks, not just Kings' fans.

I don't usually mind Perry and I appreciate his shenanigans for what they are but if you're going to be a pissbaby about a bump and slash and hook a guy like Clifford, don't stand there and stare him down like you're going to do something. On the bright side, Lucic should be a roster regular, so those guys can't complain about our bottom sixers fighting, they can just deal with a top-sixer pounding their faces in when necessary.

mersch could even do half a season in AHL like shore did last year, and then get the call up? but he's been playing every game which does make one wonder.

there are 32 left in camp and they have to trim it down to 23 still right? 9 cuts to make?

I agree, if he doesn't make it now I could see Mersch either being the first callup or taking the Voynov track to the NHL.

Perry was a total punk in that situation, don't stir the pot then let someone do your battle for you.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Can agree with that, Shore hasn't done anything to impress me, but I will fully admit limited viewing. Add that to his waiver eligibility and it's just an easier move to make.



I'm not going to battle with you on this, just take my statement as feedback. Because someone disagreed with you about Andreoff, you immediately went to battle and went back to your old "King is a golden boy" which is 1. a completely unnecessary retort unrelated to Andreoff 2. not true and 3. something we already discussed in another thread. It's becoming trolling.

Plenty of people have had positive things to say about Andreoff. Don't let confirmation bias destroy discussion.

I am taking your comments as feedback nothing more. I was using King as a person who was having a nothing game because he was Believe me or don't I don't hate him but i am not blind to his play like most. I could have just as easy used Nolan althou he was recovering from a ankle role so i gave him the benefit of the doubt. It was a retort to everyone saying andreoff was adding nothing to this team and imo king added nothing this entire preseason Yet because i am the only one stating it consistantly you think its not true i cant disagree more So agree to disagree Just because i disagree with your opinion its trolling how please email me this so i dont get a infraction

Next yes people did post andy had a good game i really wonder if i didnt say anything how many would have. Sometimes the sqeeky wheel gets the grease as the old saying goes.

Remember when the Hawks lost all their preseason games and won the cup that year....yah, we're not the Hawks.

The boldfaced is exactly my point. Please stop putting words in the forum's collective mouth.

It's not a huge deal, just pointing out that not everything has to do with Dwight King.

And as much as I don't necessarily like it because I think it's too much cementhead on one line, I think Andreoff sticks on the 4th. Shore might bring more IQ, but Andreoff is actually playing his way into it.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Nope, that was chicken****, he tried to get some shots in before Clifford could square up...

I could have sworn they fought before but I can't find it. So instead, I found something else everyone here will love.

What do you expect from a *******?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

mersch could even do half a season in AHL like shore did last year, and then get the call up? but he's been playing every game which does make one wonder.

There are still two third string goalies at camp with Budaj and Berube, two out of McBain, Schultz or LoVerde will be sent down, and they have two to three spots open for guys like Weal, Shore, Andreoff, O'Neill and Mersch, and there are two injured guys in Lowry and Sharipzyanov who will be reassigned.

 

[Basilisk]

I find it humorous that Schultz did better vs. Perry than Erhoff.



Meanwhile, Enroth is a strange hybrid of Quick and Ersberg. That's not a bad thing......

 

[cali101]

thanks ziggy.
2 goalies, 2 defensemen & 2 injured players to be released, which accounts for 6.
and 2 or 3 of these 5 forwards be sent down/released.

the bold comes from 4 years of reading the love from this forum when it comes to Dwight King If i was allowed to go back and post all the peoples quote there is a reason i say things the way i do. I also would like to point out i have stated in a lot of posts i am fine with him as long as he stays in the bottom 6 In this case i was only pointing out king was having a bad game and nothing gets said however any play Andreoff does gets no love. Hell wasn't there a thread with Andreoff getting a statue from me post or something like that. People are attacking players that play 4th line mins like they are the reason we are losing The blame should be going to top 6 players not scoring and while king is not thought of as top 6 he played the mins and should be held to it 26 points for someone playing his mins are awful

We have agreed a lot lately and believe me i enjoy your comments a lot especially when we agree. i hope we can continue this I just have frustration when i read fans calling him a good 2nd player because he isn't

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

I see dead people...

 

[Omni Owl]

Who cares about preseason anyway.

 

[Trolfoli]

Maybe it was covered earlier in the thread... How strange is it to see a Kings goalie go out of the net to handle a puck, get pressured, and you don't have to cringe?

 

[Reclamation Project]

I still cringe. Basic instinct.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I like Enroth quite a bit, hopefully he does well and secures a contract extension to remain as a backup until Bartosak is ready.

Of the forwards, seems like most of the vets are coasting by and the grinders and rookies who are out to prove something are carrying the workload in the preseason.

 

[Minor Boarding]

Still not impressed with Lucic (or the trade)...

 

[HiEverybody]

The Kings are quite possibly the most offensively inept team in the league

I'm gonna wait for 10 games into the season before I think about making such a declaration.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I just have a hard time wrapping my head around somebody feeling that positively about Andreoff.

 

[Mike Carr]

Just seen that Beiksa ****. next game against the Ducks I would be playing Looch , AA , Clifford , Nolan and give a call up to Bissonette. Any other good fighters in the Kings or Reign. Be getting somebody to just start winging at Bieksa and same with Perry

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Don't understand what those worried about Looch are expecting from him at this point? To my eyes last night he looked the most comfortable yet. He's learning only his 3rd system in his career since he was 16 years old. That takes time. He's still thinking out there. Once he's confident he's in the right areas when he shoukd be, he'll get back to read/react type play. Started to see some of that last night. Can't wait to watch him go at it with Perry and Bieska regularly. Anyways, all this just my own two cents.

 

[KingsFan7824]

I wouldn't have a problem if the Vets looked sharper.

They look like they have never played hockey in some instances.

After last season, and missing the playoff's, some of the Veterans should look a lot better than they do.

Preseason or not.

But it is pre-season though. There's nothing on the line for most of them. If they look lackluster in game 1 at home against the Sharks for the second straight year, while not the end of the world, then it's something to complain about. Until then, go through the motions, don't get hurt, and be ready for games that matter.

I don't understand how people don't get this.

2014 Kings say hello. (IDGAF if that's in the past)
