GDT: WCQF Gm#3: KINGS#5 vs. BLUES#4 - Saturday, 5/4/13 @ 7:00 pm PT (FS-West, NBCSN, CBC)

[Telos]

Oh my god!!!! Barrett jackman is having trouble breathing!!!!

LoL, these guys have been atrocious. Best just to mute and watch because they only cause confusion and make you second guess everything. They are a team of disinformation

 

[King RAZZ]

Honestly muzzin is a damn idiot

He's two steps behind one... Any further back...and he'd qualify as a ref...

 

[Little Psycho]

King has been so useless this year. Dont know what Sutter sees in him

 

[Herby]

Hell of a period by Doughty. Williams played well as well. Lewis had a lot of energy.

Still absolutely nothing from Kopitar, Richards and Carter. I thought maybe being on home ice, with the last change that these guys could do anything, Kopitar flubs a prime scoring chance and the Richards line gets owned by Reaves and Cracknell.

What a difference a year makes.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Omg can we try putting Doughty as a forward for a couple of shifts.

 

[riznat]

Bringing out the secret weapon guys, going to take a shot of Jack. You can thank me after the win.

 

[ndgt10]

I think you guys get 3 goals this game.

 

[Reclamation Project]

More perimeter shots! Not.

 

[kingsfan28]

Was an ok period, but as Jim said, they got better as the game went along. Doughty has been outstanding so far.

Who's going to save us on defense then?

 

[kingsfan28]

Where's the traffic in front of Elliot? I;m not seeing it at all. He's given up rebounds but everyones 10 feet away

 

[William H Bonney]

Who's going to save us on defense then?

Don't worry, Sutter dressed Ellerby just for this scenario.

 

[member 88115]

Penner needs to go to the 2nd line. King is not opening space for Carter and Richards

 

[riznat]

Who's going to save us on defense then?

Imagine if we still had JMFJ. He would love for doughty to be a forward so he could be the man on defense.

Actually, Jack should have been a foward anyway...

 

[I Am Ziggy Palffy]

More perimeter shots! Not.

just taking what's being given. But at least we're taking them. Gotta get those greasy rebound goals

 

[King RAZZ]

Maybe on PP or PK shifts...

 

[onlyalad]

Who's going to save us on defense then?

We got 7 dressed tonight. Maybe we can find 2

 

[kingsfan28]

Who paid Twitter to get #AnaheimDucksGoooaaalll trending?

I suggested that a few times while Minus Forever Johnson was still on the Kings roster...

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Sutter has made some BAFFLING decisions over the last month. How long has Martinez been game ready? If so, why wasn't he playing over Ellerby? Why is King in a scoring role? Why go blender on the defensive pairings and dress seven D when the biggest issue we've had is breaking out? Why is Scuderi playing RD when he has trouble keeping the puck in on his strong side?

I agree, but if I had to guess I would say that Sutter wants King to be physical out there and create more space for Richards and Carter.

Penner would be a better option

 

[riznat]

My Jack Daniels 'Kings Win' shot has been taken, frozen pizza is in the oven. That gives at least 2 goals in the 2nd period.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think the importance of having a strong defense from top to bottom is even more apparent than ever before. Look at how long it takes from the Kings to move from their end of the ice to the neutral zone and to the offensive zone.

The lack of puck movement and smart defensemen who can make quick outlets is trapping the Kings inside their end or the neutral zone. Muzzin can't pass the puck, All he is good for is shooting on the PP. Mitchell and Greene were good at keeping the puck out and getting it up the ice. Goes to show you how players like those two cannot be easily replaced.
