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

[Ziggy Stardust]

They could make things interesting with a goal here on the PP. But alas, we know the Kings PP can't be counted on to score a big goal.

Williams has been the best penalty killer for Kings' powerplays tonight.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Haha why didn't we pull our goalie on the PP. How stupid lol

 

[Muzzfan]

What a let down. Terrible puck handling by the Kings tonight... no one on them and they lose the puck.

 

[kingsfan28]

I swear they don't even want to get another goal! Not a single attempt to score on the poweplay.

 

[kingsfan28]

Kopitars attempt to get the puck in at the start of the pp said it all. Just no effort, or urgency.

 

[TopGunner]

Ugly loss

 

[DocWest]

Kings were putrid tonight. They couldn't wait to get out of there. Credit to the Hawks for kicking our ass.

 

[Puck U]

Now watch the PGT be 15 pages long of the experts saying see I told you we sucked ... typical

 

[Face Wash]

Kings were so bad tonite, they looked intimidated. Nervous every time the puck was on their stick...They either took too long with the puck or made hasty mistakes with it. Chicago makes you pay for nervous mistakes.

Kopitar's worst game in a while. Toews, best player on the ice for both teams. He's your MVP.

Shrug it off, get home and beat up on the Oil.

 

[TopGunner]

I do think Sutter made a mistake going with a cold Scrivens. Should have stuck with the hot goalie Jones.

The Duck trolls have been banned so it won't be 15 pages.

Yup, trade this guy, trade that guy, bench him, send him to Manchester, fire Lombardi, Sutter, and hell, fire Ranford while you're at it. Does that cover it?

 

[TheSentinel]

And i'm back, got the App notification on my phone, yay no shutout and yes i blame every one of you that changed the way you saw/listened/wore/ate for the game. That's who's fault it is that we lost not the players.

I don't think Jones would've been the difference maker tonight. All of the skaters failed to show up tonight and there was zero sustained pressure against the Hawks.

 

[reset]

lol turnover after turnover

the players just gave up... no urgency.

Can't blame Scrivens at all.He played great after 3 nothing, especially the half dozen 2 on 1's . Jones would've lost too. It was a zero effort by the team plain and simple.

Sutter is stupid. If Jones was so good he would be playing against the good teams, not ****** Toronto or NYI or OTT..... what did he prove by playing Jones against them?? That an AHL goalie can beat 3 non playoff teams?? if he truly wanted to test MJ he would have put him in against another Cup contender..

[Pominville Knows]

What is the deal with Scrivens, why has he not played since december 2nd?

 

[TopGunner]

I still think Scrivens coming in cold put him at a big disadvantage especially against Chicago.

Scriven had to get into a game at some point. He'd have been going on 2 weeks between starts which isn't good. He wasn't the problem tonight, it was the team in front of him.

Martin Jones. He basically stole the job by going 4-0 in 4 straight starts including two shutouts.

M Jones has been hot and rattled off some shut outs. Sutter is notorious for riding a goalie that keeps winning.

i think he looked shell shocked the 1st. his angles and lateral movement was delayed and not at game speed.

agree, but tonight may not have been the time. personally you give Scrivens the TOR game for obvious reasons. then use Jones in the B2B game since he's been playing so well. but that's just me.

Not-so-sexy party in the PGT.
