GDT: 2022-23 season game 37 LA Kings vs Arizona Coyotes @6:30pm 12/23/22

Glad Lemieux is back at least, but last time he came back from injury it took him a long time to get going again. here's hoping he picks up his timing and rhythm quickly!

It could be as simple as they even already had Edler penciled in for a rest on a B2B but imagine being in a position where one LHD leaving the lineup leaves you this vulnerable.

I keep having ot use it as an illustration but god forbid can you imagine Mikey Anderson even getting sick for a couple of games? TM and Blake would be bent over a barrel.

C'mon, this is a total reach. No 23-year-old is going to call out a coach or even do it in a way that it can be implied. That's a great way to get the wrong reputation and screw your future prospects. Superstars rarely even do that.

Not only that, the reason Vilardi has moved around is because the winger and center he was jelling with got injured and ill respectively, which basically dissolved that line for the time being. That had nothing to do with TM, and I highly doubt he is upset with Todd for stapling him to the first line right after that and consistently putting him out on PP1.

I could see a guy like Kaliyev being puzzled at a decision, but he certainly wouldn't say anything. Or maybe a vet like Kopitar or Doughty saying "It's obvious we need to get our lines rolling" or something like that. But Vilardi? No way, especially since moving him down got his game going again and was obviously the right move. I mean, what young player has been handled better than Vilardi this year? I certainly can't think of one.



If someone isn't hurt, this reeks of something going down soon. The freeze ends in 4 days. Or, maybe just another head-scratcher, though a lot of those have worked out lately.

He's not wrong about Todds deployment. He made thing worse when he put Kempe at 3c and Valardi on the Wing. Neither guy had chemistry or scored until he changed things back. Kaliyev on the top line didn't work either.

Rink looks bigger than I thought it would.

Beautiful angle for TV

Yeah the cameras are right down on the ice. The hard shadows on the ice looks like what you see during outdoor games

 

[kingsboy11]

Lighting is terrible though, shadows all over the ice.

Only 1 ref available?

I actually thought Kaliyev looked pretty good on the top line.

And it's hard to knock deployments right now given the results of the last 10 games or so.

Things got better once Todd broke things up to what we see today.

3 guys on one side of the ice is a bad thing when a guy ends up that wide open.

 

[HookKing]

Remind me why Durzi is still on the ice.

 

[Mcsorley47]

JAD out there cracking skulls.

Miss 48 out there.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

I wonder if JAD is auditioning for a trade?

I also wonder if the Kings are playing Spence again to showcase him.

 

[kingsfan28]

F-ing Pepe!

 

[ru4reals]

Looks like the Sh*t refs followed the Kings to Arizona.

 

[Cook24]

I missed Lemieux, I don’t care what any of you wimps say…

 

[AbsentMojo]

Does Pepe serve a purpose going fwd

 

[Surf Nutz]

Yotes playing well, and having the run of it. Apropriate response from JAD and appropriate response from Lemieux to back up JAD. aLthough he was too close to putting the Kings down a man. With Kopitar, Fiala, Arvidson and Kempe. The Kings should be a threat on the 4 on 4 if a LD does not get wrong handed.

 

[Cook24]

classic shitty rep call on lemieux. F off refs

 

[lumbergh]

Pepe doing Pepe things. Dumb.

I hope Spence isn’t being showcased. I want to see him here for a few more years at least.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

More horseshit from the clowns in stripes.

Rep call on Pepe. They both did the same thing and he got the extra.

 

[Cook24]

That’s on the ref for calling a reputation call. Both guys were doing the same thing

 

[AbsentMojo]

f*** that ref
