WCF Gm#1: KINGS vs. Hawks - 6/1/13 - Another 2-1 Loss

[KingKopitar11*]

Someone back me up here and look at the play that Richards got hit, the puck went in a came out the other end. Was that a goal? It crossed the line, and went right out.

wait what??

Brown has to stay off that top line, he plays with zero fire on that line.

His best games, have been on the third line.

Who do we put up there? Our LW's are awful

 

[Little Psycho]

Honestly, we shouldn't expect anything from Kopitar anymore. Just let him pk and stuff.

 

[jml87]

IF Richards can't play, I think you gotta move Carter to center, and put a passer on his line. I'd go with:

Brown-Kopi-Toffoli
Penner-Carter-Williams
Richardson-Stoll-Lewis
Clifford/King-Fraser-

7 defensemen

Lol at sutter putting toffoli on the first line. I'm sure he'll just throw King up there.

 

[etherialone]

We need more from DP and KC.

Other than that we looked very good. We got a great shot at this series. The changes made all the difference.

Right now he's a glorified shutdown third line center playing first line minutes

I said it in the GDT, but the kings don't have the same drive to win this year. After every road game they talk about having better starts and playing 60 minutes. It's just not going happen this year.

Chicago has enough skill to win the series against quick.

Pretty much this.

The only positive is Kopitar has picked his shooting up, but he is not making space for himself. He is just taking what they give him.

You're right, and I think I just threw-up in my mouth

He's not paid 6.8 million to play on the penalty kill.

No, the puck was deflected up into the air behind the net.

A big difference from this year and last year is that Brown was the one lowering the boom on hits like the one Boland landed. It was as borderline, on the edge of a legal hit as you can get. Was a lot more fun when we were doing the damage and the other teams fans were doing the *****ing.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

That sucked

Has to do with minutes, Lombardi has already commented on Toffoli not being in peak shape(understandably he is a kid).

The first line has to play 20+ minutes.

Toffoli can't handle those minutes(at the NHL level).

 

[ARIES626]

Who actually coaches the Kings forwards? Who ever it is, He should be fired! Kings have very little offensive team work.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

wait what??

Yeah, what? Anyone have a video on this?

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Well so far it looks like management pays him tons to play on the PK.




Kings should try putting some young kids in the line up, inject this dead team with some change. Other then the revolving door at 4th line.

Kings need to make changes soon or this is gonna be real quick.

Maybe Kompon was the lynchpin?

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Just watched it, never went in, It was on the netting on the back of the net. i can see someone getting mixed up.

Brown took out two guys in the first period. Hitting doesn't have a thing to do with us not winning. It's guys like Kopitar playing like Josef Stumpel.

King on the first line is just a warm body

^This.....

If Kopitar continues his vanishing act......Kings are never going to win on the road.

J-Dub has pretty much carried Kopitar all year.

Does it matter with Kopitar playing like he is ?

You also remove the only forward with a pulse....J-Dub....

Toffoli is a RW lock stop and barrel....The third line is all he is going to see....plus PP. For about 14 to 15mins....

Vey/Pearson are not coming to the rescue, The couldn't even Rescue the Monarchs.....

He has a pulse? Woah.

 

[Reclamation Project]

A tremendous road performance as usual.
