GDT: 2020-21 season game 13 LA Kings vs San Jose Sharks @7:00pm 2/11/21

[Little Psycho]

I don’t think JAD or Strand should see the minor leagues again.

Hell add Bjornfoot too. These guys made a difference tonight.

 

[ru4reals]

Too good!!!

 

[Little Psycho]

Austin Strand -- jeez he's looking really good.

There's no hesitation from him and I'm loving it

Perhap Strand could be another Roy, a solid with hockey sense D-Man..

Maatta we hardly knew ya, which I am okay with.

 

[Bandit]

Guys, I think we might win this one...

 

[ru4reals]

Dayum what to do....Roy, Walker, BFoot, Strand, Clague, Anderson!!!! Can we play 8 D and just toss out the 4th line hot dayum!!!

i don't want to get too far ahead of myself but i was thinking the same thing. don't care if he doesn't become a #1 but he looks damn solid for an undrafted player

When it comes down to it, the difference in the game might have just been goaltending.

There's a reason why the Kings were capitalizing on their chances and the Sharks weren't.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Going from MacDermid to Bjornfot is like replacing Mark Visheau with Mathieu Schneider.

 

[kingsboy11]

What a great win. It felt like the whole team just took like collective deep breath and just went to work. Need more like this

 

[ru4reals]

The passing of the torch has finally arrived. Cal is a pretty dang good goalie and thank you for being the best goalie we've ever had Quickie, your Jersey will be up in the rafters one day but it's time to move on.

 

[kilowatt]

Turns out good players play well.

Anderson - Doughty
Bjornfot - Roy
Clague - Walker
Strand

We might have a real defense soon.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

JAD Grundstrom and Moore were awesome tonight. Strand looked like he was evolving after each shift. He and Maatta worked well together. Happy wherever Bjornfot ends up, I get the big picture but I love watching him play.

Very fun game, might be the most complete 60 minutes they’ve had yet. Heal up, Roy/Walker, thankfully we dont play till Tuesday.

 

[DAkings20]

Toby immediately becomes our second best D, says a lot about this train wreck

Like I said

 

[ru4reals]

Off topic but I'm loving these freakin 7 o'clock games.

 

[The Butcher]

My main man Drew Doughty with 3 assists and a plus 2???

I never doubted him for a second!

 

[Nickster]

Trevor Moore with the only +3 tonight, and P.Marleau with the only -3

 

[tny760]

My main man Drew Doughty with 3 assists and a plus 2???

I never doubted him for a second!

yeah! me... me neither!

 

[TruKingFan]

Amadio is trade/taxi squad/waiver/expansion/AHL fodder - no damn doubt about it. Kilowatt will be happy.

Maatta with his best game as a King... if he keeps this up, he’ll be in Seattle this time next year!

Maatta we hardly knew ya, which I am okay with.

What is crazy to me is how fast Strand got up to speed. His first game he looked shaky and nervous when handling the puck. Next thing you know he is handling empty net killing time and looking comfortable at 3 on 3 with Kopitar and Doughty. Now he looks like an NHL vet back there. It's really impressive how fast he has progressed.

That's what you took from this game?

Unfortunately he won't be the one selected. I'm still betting Walker is the odd man out.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I can't wait until all the east coast 15 year olds wake up tomorrow and open hfboards.

What time is it in Sweden? Can set an alarm to that.

i don't want to get too far ahead of myself but i was thinking the same thing. don't care if he doesn't become a #1 but he looks damn solid for an undrafted player

He was a stud in jr, captain of his team and absolute cannon shot. Nearly PPG. Was a little shocking he went undrafted but we saw for a few years why. And to be fair he was a late bloomer...seems to have happened again maybe? Now, good lord, it's like all that composure came back all at once, it's that baseball moment where a guy just finds his stuff. Wild shit.

I haven't seen a guy pass that hard in years Hopefully that's contagious. Hell he's helping Maatta look like he can play again too. Not even Doughty was able to raise that corpse
