Doughty –

"I was just pissed off at myself. I let Durzi literally skate right around me so I was honestly pissed off at myself the entire game. I knew I had to do something to get something back for the boys."

Hey Drew maybe you should get walked more often if you gonna play like this. LOL.

 

[Shellz]

We got shelled in the 1st.. we shelled them back in the 2nd, then finished shelling them in the 3rd

Never too much shelling

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Holy shit, QB.

Please continue to make me look like a f***ing idiot.

 

[Kingkopitar]

Just need to pay durzi's salary and have him annoying doughty every game on different teams

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

and to think some fans would rather see Doughty and Kopitar in the press box....

This team going nowhere fast lol
Who could have seen this coming

Seen what coming, the comeback?

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Bustfield.

...

When was the last time we won after switching the goalie? Don't even remember. As I type they score again. It's over.

Tonight?

 

[Frolov 6'3]

I missed the game.

I am sure this GDT will be a joy to read again.

I'll give you cliff notes -- team struggles early, fanbase turns on them, writes them off immediately, Kings come back, fanbase who wrote them off are nowhere to be found. Go Kings

That probably sums it up.

Thanks for the quick summary.

Looked like a different player tonight.

Actually he has been playing like this most of the time but playing well only counts if you score to some

[Fishhead]

Why does Fiala look like someone just gifted him a puppy with a fake unicorn horn on it?

 

[deaderhead28]

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

Drew looks ready to join the El Segundo beer leagues he's so checked out

two goals including game-winner? I'll take 'checked out' Doughty every night!

 

[Rick Knickleback]

Looked like a different player tonight.

I feel that's how he's looked most of this season. It's just the plays worked out last night--Mikey buried his feed, his tip in from Kaliyev found the net. I feel like QB's been off by just a few inches every play this season but the plays have been the right reads and the effort is good. It's not like Kempe or PLD who look plain tentative or Fiala who often tries to do too much. Byfield's been dialed. He had one game that reminded me of last season where he just sort of floated along. Maybe against Minnesota? Other than that, he's looked good, IMO.

4 points in 7 games - and I think we all agree he was robbed of a couple assists so far, so that could be 6 points in 7 games.

Bustfield is emerging.

 

[tigermask48]

Missed the game, but is it safe to say that Phoenix Copley is an NHL goalie in the same way the Brooklyn Brawler was a professional wrestler? Because wow a shooter tutor looks better than him at this point.

I‘ve been behind the Byfield pick since we knew we had the #2 pick. I’ve also been recognizing his growth and his play since moving to the top line. However, let’s not get carried away yet. It’s too small a sample size to say he’s emerging but it is encouraging given Kempe hasn’t got going yet either.

Moondog Copley?

So it was your fault?

Lol just kidding. It was bad bro. Really bad.
Then Talbot came on and allowed a goal faster than my average sexual encounter. I still don't understand why koalas fear timeouts.

100%

Yet

For all the bitching about his production

That's ANOTHER assist he didn't get--he SHOULD be PPG right now

So when he has a night like tonight, to me, that's his dominant play and percentages/averages correcting to where he should be.

The bigger problem is people not seeing that last night was a 'typical' night for him, just that stuff went in, so it's nice for that a night, we don't have to hear how actually bad he is.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Kings were definitely not ready to start the game, Copley let in 3 goals, the 1st one, I can't really blame him, that's just a helluva shot....you want those saves absolutely, but when they walk right in like that, and they can shoot, it's gonna be 50/50 most times....the JJ Moser goal, he's gotta catch that shot, weird bounce for sure, but should never have gotten there, and the last goal, yea it deflected, but it went through him.....those two he has to have if he wants to keep playing in the league....

 

[SettlementRichie10]

I’m just happy the points are trickling in now. On any given shift he can look like the fastest, most skilled player on the ice. But after 100 games played and 9 goals scored, production has to become a focus.

The fact he’s already nearly matched his goal total from last season is very encouraging.
