GDT: WCSF’s Gm#5: KINGS#3 @ DUCKS#1, Monday 5/12/14 @ 7:00 pm PT | NBCSN, TSN, RDS

[Ollie Weeks]

LOL at the criticisms of our defense. We have 2 regulars out! And are battling the best offensive team in the league to a standstill night in night out!

 

[ru4reals]

I will never praise Muffins again! He's resorting to his old awful self!

 

[kingsfan28]

Better period than anything from games 3 and 4. Would like to see more from Kopi and Gabby though. The 70's line has looked dominant!

They look better than they have in the last two games. Gaborik looks like he has had room to move through the slot again, when it wasn't there before. It's a good sign.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings are pretty damn good at making things difficult on themselves. Unforced turnovers, giveaways in their own end, weak along the walls, unable to get the puck out of their zone. All of these things have to be cleaned up in order for this team to get ahead.

Chip it off the glass and have the forwards ready to skate after the puck instead of making passes to our forwards who are just standing and waiting for a pass deep behind the blue line.

 

[kingsfan28]

Wow, you's think the Ducks dominated the 1st period by a mile the way Jones just described it. He failed to mention that most of the chances were off of turnovers not some new found scoring ability the Ducks have now.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Dustin Brown looks crappy.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Whenever Gibson is mentioned...

 

[kingsfan28]

This makes me smile:
Tevor Lewis trending at number 1!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Can they drop Muzzin off at Disneyland and have him get lost before Game 6 on Wed?

 

[King RAZZ]

Dustin Brown looks crappy.

But smells better than Voynov and Muffin...

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Lewis is doing it again in the postseason.

 

[Bandit]

Our defense is really bad and slow. Terrible passing and just bad. I hope our defense this off-season gets a huge face lift.

Our defense is missing two regulars and still holding one of the best offensive teams in the league to 3 goals or less in every game. Sure we should be looking to improve, but don't be a drama queen.

I honestly don't get all the defense complaints. It's been very solid. The one thing that is killing this team is the absolute atrocious production from the bottom six. ****, might as well only rotate six forwards!

Well, the defense is a bit of a problem getting out of our own end at times with Greene and Shultz, but I mean ****. how many teams can lose two regular D and still play good defense?

Exactly.Our defense is doing just fine considering our two top 6 Dmen are out. Now if they're in and the same crap is happening, then there is reason to harp on them.

Right? They're limping along and still keeping us in every game.

 

[kingsfan28]

When the Kings scored, the crowd noise sounded like a Staples crowd. Pretty loud.

 

[Chain]

Considering two of our D men are out and they're playing a great offensive team, they're doing a solid job.

I think the big problem a lot of people have, at least the problem I have, is that they really seem to make too many bad decisions.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Stupid offensive zone penalties, Williams.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

There's that offensive zone penalty we're used to seeing from Williams.

Yes because RR Mitchell Greene Schultz are all speedster.

 

[Chain]

Saw that coming.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Lack of disciple bites us in the butt, same crap all year

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Yes because RR Mitchell Greene Schultz are all speedster.

They don't have to be fast. They are more poised and comfortable - and are better penalty killers.
