GDT: 2023-24 season game 46 LA Kings vs Colorado Avalanche @6:00pm 1/26/24

[AbsentMojo]

With a team of losers like JR, Conroy, and others, not much, even this season will top that crap. That team totally quit on the entire organization, and Norstrom completely lost the room. DL came in and booted them all. JR begging DL stay another year so he could maintain his easy lifestyle, then showed the door was the best.

I bet JR skate blade issue was due to using them to chop coke

I just saw the AVS 4th goal, omg the 4th line is so bad. Lose the board battle, then to make things worse, head the wrong way and run into eachother. Manson, a dman skates right in and scores.

Goal 5: When was the last time you saw us win a draw, get it to a point man and he shoots it on net like Makar did? All it took was 5 second.

The biggest shocker of the season is that the goaltending isn’t holding up. I mean, what was Blake supposed to do?

Instead of counting his blessings that Copley held up, he doubled down on it and said wtf, lets go thrift shopping for our #1 and our #2 so we can spend the goalie money on PLD!!! woohoo! party rockers in the house tonite every body come and have a good time

I said it about 2 weeks ago, this is the 2005-2006 team all over again. A bunch of stupid veteran signings to try and polish a turd that needed to be completely flushed.

That team started out 25-13-3 and collapsed.

PLD = Roenick
Conroy = Danault
Demitra = Fiala
Garon = Talbot
Taylor = Blake

Spence + Kaliyev trade for veteran rentals is up next in the timeline.

Pretty good chance the Kings only representative at the All-Star game will be going there riding a 10 game winless streak

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

So if the Blues win tonight, Predators win tomorrow, and the Kings lose to the Blues on Sunday, the Kings will be out of a playoff spot.

What a two month run it’s been.

At one time 4pts outta first what a time to be alive

 

[SettlementRichie10]

I am so happy they are collapsing in spectacular, embarrassing fashion rather than ambling toward another first round loss.

The great meme season has not disappointed.

Does putting up the worst GM performance in the history of hockey qualify Blake’s number to be taken down from the rafters?

 

[funky]

Isn't this how you learn? Everyone complains about not playing the kids, yet when they go through growing pains, you want to send him back to the AHL. Every rookie goes through this, even the top picks. Who are you gonna replace him with, another rookie from Ontario? I'm not sure if this is about tonights game which I didn't see, but on the whole this season , he's generated more than killed them [ cough cough PLD.]

I agree with what you say. He is an NHL talent deserves to be in the NHL but I wonder if it will stunt the offensive growth long term.

As for who do we replace him with Kaliyev has been sitting. If Kaliyev is in then Fagemo sits. Both of them are the same age range as Laf so we know 1 if the 3 young pups either sits or plays AHL as Todd and Co seems to want Lewis and Grundy in the lineup.

Laf can go up and down without waivers and it would be nice to see him add a bit more offensive IQ to his game. With the lack of practices at the NHL level I was thinking it might be easier to address this at the AHL level.

He almost has the opposite problem of Kaliyev who was deemed all offence no defence.

It shouldn't even be on the rafters after the stunt he pulled in his last season here.
I see nothing but a traitor in him

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

It's gonna be hard to top that year with Andy Murray who had them in 1st place in Jan, then ran them into the ground and they missed the playoffs.

I mean this is that protracted, it happened within a month, and with the expectation of taking a step forward

I do feel a little vindicated though, might unblock some people to see what kind of copium it’s turned into

 

[kilowatt]

If you are reading this Axl, in response to your request from 6 weeks ago.

No I am not going to make a post on the board and tell everyone how wrong I was on Blake. Sorry

lmfao

i personally enjoyed the mackinnon rush last eve when he stickhandled through the entire kings team.

I think it was @johnjm22 earlier saying he's worth the price of admission alone

I watch plenty of avs games because I could watch him and Makar skate all day

McDavid is graceful, fast, sneaky...but Mackinnon is just a f***in bull in a china shop, like a higher-end Dustin Brown

I like to describe him as a violent skater. His stride and stick handling are so active and it makes him look like he’s going 50 MPH.

Blake's number should have never went into the rafters in the first place. I don't think BLuc can land this plane.

 

[KINGS17]

Luc is going to have to retire his favorite quote

“Hey wee just have to make zee playoff and anything can happen, if we get in we have just as good a chance as anyone, we all remember 2012, you know”

Luc, I knew the man who built the 2012 team, Dean Lombardi. Current Mr. Kings President, you're no Dean Lombardi.

The sooner BLuc is fired, the better.

 

[KINGS17]

BLuc is screaming "Man the pumps!", but it isn't going to matter in the long run. The fifth compartment on the Kings ship has been breached.

 

[KINGS17]

Well deadline day should be interesting again.

Been team Buck Flake since he left the first time. Then solidified it 100% when he nixed the trade to SJ and then signed with them.

Trade off Roy, RV, Kaliyev, Gavrikov I don’t give a flying f*** at this point.

Two fools, in over their head right from the start.

the exact moment luc's soul left his body

holy f*** that's what, 6 years ago? he looks like he aged 20 since

 

[chris kontos]

I knewthis was gonna happen.
It was obvious to the most casual observer

You’re gonna need to be more specific. We’re swimming in an ocean of diarrhea here. “This” could be anything.

 

[Moses Doughty]

Rob Blake and Luc Robitaille actually looked at this roster and told us it was a Stanley Cup caliber roster.

Were they liars or clueless?

Both, but in this case just plain idiocy

Guy is capable of dishing out a hit like prime DB too. Beast.
