GDT: Game #34: KINGS @ BLACKHAWKS - Sunday, 12/15/’13 @ 4:00pm PST

[TopGunner]

Refs should call a penalty on the Hawks for unsportsmanlike conduct for not letting the Kings have the puck.

What bothers me is that for whatever reason Chicago managed their cap better and were able to add a weapon like Versteeg. How the **** are we so cap strapped yet Chicago ices a forward corps of all stars?

And got Fla to eat half his salary for the duration of the contract.

Well, they got a ton of help with Florida eating up a large chunk of Versteeg's cap hit.

 

[Reaper45]

I turned it off. Maybe they'll score one with me not watching.

I've always been surprised as how someone as big and talented as Carter can be so poor with puck possession lol. It's really interesting.

Don't forget what the hawks had to do after their cup a few years ago. And Versteeg is waaaay overated.

I think this is the game Frattin and Vey should of been in. Could have been good experience for Vey to face the creme de la creme of opposing forwards.

Chicago lost players because their GM was a Pejorative Slur.

And its not a short contract either. This is the Kind of trade you see in baseball where a team eats a large chunk of a players salary just to get rid of him.

You forgot the exodus after their first win? They got a ****ton of picks and drafted a bunch of guys who play for them. Saad, Shaw, Kruger... And Teravainen and Hartman are going to make it even uglier, heck there's McNeill and Danault too almost forgot.

 

[TheSentinel]

all you guys that changed your routine have jinxed us, I blame you all if we lose

 

[LAKings88]

The Kings just can't match up with Chicago. Doesn't help that this is the last game of the road trip. Here's hoping Chicago gets beat out by another team in the playoffs.

What did I say, Scrivens was gonan start and get dominated......... great job Sutter!!!!!

Different GM.

And Versteeg is overrated as a top-line guy, but is pretty good as a third-line depth guy. Hawks still have Bickell out which is forcing them to plug holes in their lineup.

Depending on how things go, who they play, etc, their third line could look like:

Saad/Shaw/Versteeg

or

Versteeg/Shaw/Bickell

They have a lot of versatile parts in the lineup.

I wore the wrong shoes today. I normally wear my Flyknit Lunars, but today I wore my Free Run 3s

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Man Lewis is so useless.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings haven't had a single shift where they cycled the puck and generated multiple scoring opportunities. Chalk it up to exhaustion and these guys looking forward to boarding a plane to get home.

Even if Quick started the results wouldve been the same. 3 bad plays led to 3 goals.The Kings have been off their game since the shorthanded goal. Just write this game off as one of those that happens at the end of a long roadtrip.

 

[Bandit]

Only way we're coming back is if the hawks start shooting on their own net.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

It's so awesome that I missed the last 5 games because of work and my kids basketball tournaments and then the first Kings game I get to watch in almost 2 weeks is this one.

I need a drink. LOL

So it's your fault......

 

[kingsfan28]

Here comes the shutout breaker...a Kings powerplay!

It is backwards day.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Brown is so embarrassing to watch.

 

[kingsfan28]

power kill successful !

 

[KingKopitar11*]

I think Ivanans had a better offensive game than Lewis lol.
