What's wrong with Kopitar?

Kopitar had 1G-4A in a 6-4 win over STL tonight. Maybe a turning point of the season for him.

He was really good tonight. And Carter.

I can't believe Doughty played over 34 minutes

Kings top line was hot

Gaborik 2 goals 1 assist
Carter 1 goal 3 assists
Kopitar 1 goal 4 assists

Not surprised since Regher went down in the second period. He's been playing too much this season.

Pretty sure they took an assist away from Gaborik to give it to Kopitar. 2 goals and 1 assist for Gabby.

I.E.
Aside from the points, he LOOKED more alive tonight than he has all season (no undead jokes pls). That's a good sign.

On paper, Gabby-Kopi-Carter should be a dominant line (obviously).

Kopitar and Carter don't seem to work together though. Tonight they did obviously but I still think carter is best at Center.

I think it's just Sutter trying to get them both going, which may have finally happened tonight.

Even if Kopi scored no points against the Blues, he was very noticable and had his best game of the year ( of the 5-6 that I watched this year) lets hope he's turned a corner.

Anze Kopitar is back

I'm sure he didnt have many doubters in the first place, as this guy has been about as consistent as they come over the past number of years.

But he did have a slow start this year. Not anymore.


1G, 7A in his past two games, and the 2nd game isnt even over yet. He's been a part of every Kings goal the past two games, with the exception of one.


Great to see him back and firing on all cylinders. He's done some incredible things for hockey in Slovenia, and is one of the more classy guys in the league. Huge amount of respect for him, and now he's back playing at the level we all know he's capable of.

Hmmm, consider me blind then.


I literally scrolled through the first two pages to make sure a thread on Kopitar didn't already exist. I knew one was up about his struggles, but hadn't seen it anywhere on the first two pages so figured a new one wouldn't hurt.



Oh well, lock it up or merge it with the other thread works.

no worries, it was just funny seeing "What's Wrong With Kopitar?" and "Anze Kopitar is back" right beside each other

Kopi being Kopi.

The guy is and has been since he came into the league one of the top 10 centers. Nothing to see here really.

Kopi is one of the very best in the game today.

Kopitar has always been streaky
Every year there is a Kopitar thread and every year he turns it around.
Will this upswing last? No one knows
