GDT: 2019-20 GM#30 LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers @6:00pm 12/6/19

[Bandit]

Have the Penguins missed the playoffs at all in the cap era? And they’ve gone through a management and coaching changes as well. Perhaps it’s the players? But hey, why hold anyone accountable when we can live in the past.

You’re just never going to be satisfied no matter how many times this shit is rehashed. Can you at least take it out of the GDT so we can bitch about the travesty we’re witnessing today in peace?

 

[Bandit]

Kempe Lizotte Wagner skates and throws the body. Kopitar Brown Iafallo Carter Toffoli loaf all over the ice.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

You’re just never going to be satisfied no matter how many times this **** is rehashed. Can you at least take it out of the GDT so we can ***** about what we’re witnessing today in peace?

I made a simple joke about those who get on posters who are critical of the team and it seemed to strike a nerve with some of you, so blame yourself for that.

As for this game, the only line that has posed as any threat in the offensive zone is the Lizotte line. Absolutely nothing of substance from the other lines.

 

[kingsholygrail]

DD > Malkin.

On defense? Yeah. But they had Letang for their franchise D.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Both teams have three shots apiece in this period. This is some putrid hockey.

The Penguins have 2 of the greatest players of all time and have had some first round exits between cups, they also didn't trade nearly the value that the Kings did during their run.

 

[HookKing]

Wagner is just cursed.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I like Wagner's drive, but if he has no finish, he's as useful as an asshole on my elbow. The cup runneth over for the Kings when it comes to players that can't finish.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Wagner is just cursed.

He’s another Craig Johnson. Fast player who tries but doesn’t accomplish much, unfortunately.

 

[HookKing]

On defense? Yeah. But they had Letang for their franchise D.

Doughty is arguably the best overall D of the last 10 years. Yeah, he's "generational".

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Oilers don’t even need to register another shot on goal to win this one.

 

[tny760]

i don't care about f***ing 2012 can you guys take it to the other thread already holy shit i already don't read that thread because of the endless whining about the past

Nah. I’ll blame you for never shutting up about it. It’s obnoxious and you know it.

 

[HookKing]

He’s another Craig Johnson. Fast player who tries but doesn’t accomplish much, unfortunately.

He is an impact player way more than Johnson ever was. He creates scoring chances virtually every shift. Nothing is going in this year, it happens.

 

[kingsholygrail]

They play tomorrow too? uuugghh

 

[HookKing]

Nah. I’ll blame you for never shutting up about it. It’s obnoxious and you know it.

The only thing more boring than this is Doughty vs. Tkachuk.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Nah. I’ll blame you for never shutting up about it. It’s obnoxious and you know it.

What do I keep bringing up? That they won two Stanley Cups? Shouldn’t you be happy and shut the f*** up then and let me enjoy the current state of the team?

 

[tny760]

They play tomorrow too? uuugghh

at least there will be something going on with tkachuk

this game is just a couple bad teams and an incredible goalie

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

He is an impact player way more than Johnson ever was. He creates scoring chances virtually every shift. Nothing is going in this year, it happens.

Impact player is a bit generous of a way to describe him. CJ at least hit 13 and 17 goals as career highs in the dead puck era. Then again, the current Kings are playing some dead puck era offense...

 

[King'sPawn]

Wagner's getting the chances. The points will come.

 

[Bandit]

Right. You don’t know.

You win.

 

[Choralone]

We must be bad before we can be good.

This is the way.

I have spoken.

 

[kingsholygrail]

How many players do we say this for on this team?

 

[HookKing]

And he didn't hit 17 till he was 27, Wagner is 22.
