GDT: 2023-24 season game 28 LA Kings vs San Jose Sharks @7:30pm 12/19/23

[kingsfan28]

So no team in the 100+ year history of the NHL has ever been as good as LA through 15 road games to start the season.

Not even the greatest teams in the history of the league.

And LA has done it in the cap era.

13-1-1

But the original 6 teams, they're like the bestest ever!

Meh, pat on the back as it's a small reward for playing well on the road. Drinking Champagne from a Huge Silver Chalice is the real goal to accomplish!

I like the Kings chances playing against Vancouver in the playoffs. They don’t have a McDavid that will split all 5 players open at once. That’s huge plus. And both teams fully healthy I will take the Kings easily. In talent we top them out. Move Roy, let Clarke take his spot. We have our Hughes.

Easy Ws in chat boys.

He's not McDavid but you may be underrating Alien.

Has kempe scored at all on a one timer from the right circle this season?

9 december vs. The Islanders.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I know he only faced 16 shots, but I thought Rittich was very solid.

Would Kings maybe waive or trade Copley if Rittich continues to play well?

Doubt it. Rittich outplayed both of them in training camp, and they pretty much predetermined that he'd go down to Ontario.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

He made 16 saves vs. the worst team in the league, there's nothing to read into that.

Besides, like Copley, he's a 1B at best guy who breaks down after 30 games. Let's not make that mistake.

I didn't know that xenomorphs played hockey.

 

[KINGS17]

Man, San Jose is terribad.

No lies detected

Sounds like a guy we all know and love as a Kings' goaltender.

 

[Lt Dan]

Man, San Jose is terribad.

Yes, but I am just grateful that we didn't play down to their level and that they didn't flip the rivalry game switch and wreck us

 

[Schrute farms]

PLD sucks should be 10- zero against these scrubs. Am I doing it right

Seriously? Go back to reading your 'book of the month' soccer mom.

We have our own alien on defense once we boot Roy.

If there’s an alien problem though I know who to call.

Pleased with Kaliyev's development so far. He's slowly working himself into being a regular in the lineup. Currently ranked 7th on the team in points per 60 minutes in all situations and at even strength, so his production as a middle-six forward is right on. The +7 is 5th amongst Kings forwards. Also 5th in Goals For % and PDO at even strength.

That play he made on Kopitar's power play goal was assertive. Steals a loose puck and finds Kopi from the back of the net.

A big reason the Kings have moved themselves into contender status is the simultaneous development of three young players, Byfield, Kaliyev, and Spence, as regulars and big contributors.

hard to take offense to this, considering you've probably never read a book and breath through your mouth.

We need to transfuse PLD with some of Matt Roy's character

 

[lumbergh]

Glad to see the Grudstrom-Lizotte-Lewis line reunited. Seemed like they were regularly productive until Grundstrom was moved up for a while. Put them back together, boom, goal.

I'd have him take Lizotte energizer bunny potion.. on sale at GNC

Whats interesting about that bar chart - his bar is so short (thats what she said).. its almost like he wasnt even there

Laferriere and Kaliyev need a better teammate

Further the right, more impact, if it's left, then negative impact, am I reading that right?

true

Interesting look for Byfield.....which kind of passes the eye test.....he's less effective offensively, lately...not a lot...but noticeable, don't know if that's from fatigue....or teams playing him extremely tough....probably a combination of both

A friend of mine said they are pairing 3rd pair w Kopi line a lot more than before.. i looked for that but saw 8 and 44 with them at least half the time. If it is true it could mean TM is trying to shore up the overall team D... Both QB and Kempe havent gotten as many dangerous chances lately. I noticed Kempe looking to shoot more but he was getting off shots from the far boards or contested.. could just be a normal cycle lines go through but def something isnt the same.
