GDT: 2022-23 Season game 51 LA Kings vs Florida Panthers @4:00 1/27/23

[lumbergh]

Awesome game by Kempe. All over the ice. He didn’t get the assist on Roy’s GWG, but he poked the puck off Barkov’s stick right to Roy.

Copper is gold again! 15-3

Kings kept trying to beat themselves not being able to get the puck out their zone. The puck was like a hot potato in their own end.

 

[kingsfan28]

That was embarrassing, good lord.

Don't think I've seen the refs look the other way for one team and look for everything on another. The Fiala penalty near the end was a f--ing joke. Lizzotte gets layed out after his shot and they let it go, then get Fiala for pushing back afterwards.

This game was in the bag right until Copley f-up. That moment changed everything and the Kings were a mess.

They need to have Carrlyn on for lengthier Interviews at the end of the game

Kind of hilarious looking at those standings and the King's goal differential.

 

[kingsfan28]

I-a-fail-o

Yeah. Not his best moment the final 30 second. Missed the EN on the faceoff, then earns a solid minus on goal 3.

Well, now they're only -7... and in first place.

Haha... I told you send her flowers. I just remember her question tonite was unusually bad..

Gotta get some separation between the WC teams or no one will be trading at the deadline.

 

[HookKing]

3-1 on the road trip. I’ll take it!

Too bad it they don't count. All they've done is beat a few non playoff teams.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Was Taco Bell on the menu at this dinner?

Funny thing is in early 2000’s you could go to wahoos after a team practice and meat half the team there and bullshit with them.


I remember taking a girlfriend there and running into smokinski Schneider and Lappy. When we were talking to Smokinski my chick asked his name. After he replied she said “oh my boyfriend keeps saying you’re gonna get traded.” Facepalm moment for sure. 2 weeks later smoke and Schneids got traded. Hahahahaha.

So has Seattle. Last 3 games vs 2 of the 3 worst teams in the league. Expansion teams seem to get a real easy schedule.

Did I forget the sarcasm button again?

Iafallo last 6 games 0 pts -8..Last year he had 1 pt in Feb and 4 in March.. The guy goes missing more than Kempe.

 

[KingsFan7824]

They got the 6pts on a 6 game trip to at least break even before TB/Car, so, that's good.

Iafallo has to go right?

 

[kilowatt]

It might just be time to shake things up on the second line. Before this recent slump, Iafallo had 17 points in 22 games and was a +11.

Maybe something like this?

Byfield - Kopitar - Kempe
Turcotte - Danault - Arvidsson
Fiala - Kupari - Iafallo
JAD - Lizotte - Fagemo

We want Byfield learning from Kopitar. Shouldn’t we want Turcotte learning from Danault?

It I had to pick one of fwds to go its him or RV - im leaning toward AI. But unless Blake knows some math I dont re getting an LD and Goalie in under the cap then Id say its mandatory. JQ salary off the books - that covers the Goalie. Just Lemieux and Edler coming off... need to sign Vilardi... We'll see what happens at the deadline if anything.

Based on tonite's move, looks like Turcotte been learning from Matt Cooke.. but sure put him there - why not - until Moore comes back.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Kings have many decisions to be made and I bet no fewer than 6 Kings are going elsewhere

This is really not good. It goes to show that the Kings are bleeding goals heavily

She can send her self flowers *Singing voice .. haha sorry that song is everywhere atm and thats all i remember lol

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Good to get 2 points, but this team can't keep playing like this, as they will regress to the mean

 

[KingsFan7824]

This is really not good. It goes to show that the Kings are bleeding goals heavily

+4 goal wins - 2
+3 goal wins - 4
+2 goal wins - 6
+1 goal wins - 16
-1 goal losses - 9
-2 goal losses - 5
-3 goal losses - 5
-4 goal losses - 1
-5 goal losses - 2
-6 goal losses - 1

The 3/4 goal wins/losses cancel each other out. A +8 in 1/2 goal wins/losses. They've been blown out by 16 goals in 3 games this year, with no corresponding wins in that range. Take out those 3 games, however you'd like to weigh the validity of that, the Kings are a +10 in 48 of 51 games. Not exactly contender numbers, but when they lose, they've lost bigger than they've won.

They've kept games close for the most parts and picked up quite a few extra time points, but they are not doing great with regulation wins. If the Flames hold on tonight, the Kings will be tied with them for 5th in RW in the pacific which is the first tie breaker. It's going to get tight if the Avs can put things together down the stretch.

Aren't Iafallo and Fiala both LW?

There's gonna be a lot of hard decisions when Moore/Vilardi/Kaliyev are back.
