GDT: Game #15 : KINGS vs. PREDATORS - Saturday, 11/2/’13 @ 7:30 pm PDT

PK has not been good for about a couple of weeks now.

Ever since Bob and Jim bragged about it that one broadcast, it went into the crapper.

He did, but it was momentum that carried him in. I notice players do that close to the boards too draw calls, Brown does it too.

There's no reason to wind up and hit a guy when his back is clearly turned. I don't care if it's embellished or not, it's a dangerous hit. Clifford is just worthless, plays 7 minutes a game, skates around a bit, does absolutely nothing. What a waste.

Doughty has looked wonderful today.

It doesn't matter, its still all on Clifford. It's common ****ing sense, if you see the numbers don't follow through for **** sake. It's a stupid penalty to take in the neutral zone.

The guy turned his back a split second before the hit. I agree that Clifford needs to be a bit smarter, but come on. He created a goal just last game with a big hit. Its part of his game, and you take the good with the bad.

3 missed high sticking calls ...did the kings miss the memo that its no longer a penalty?

 

[Bandit]

It should be noted that Brown was garbage on both Nashville goals, and if I'm not mistaken, this is the first game this year he's been out on the PK due to the Carter injury.

Huge goal by Kopitar, that's a big difference going into the 2nd. The Kings did okay 5 x5 by man is their PK a mess. They used to dominate PK, not they seem to be one step behind and esp near the net, out of position . They need to clean that up, it's killing them every game.

And what's with Nashville taking fencing lessons? Keep the sticks down.

Muzzin was all over the place...like to see him drill one right thru Hutton.

Only if he could create a goal using his stick every once in a while.. But that may be asking too much.

Brown is just not 100% his game is not there.

Probably should have not played this season till he was, stayed on IR.

Except when Muzzin does shoot it, it'll hit Mike Fisher's shinpads and float over to the boards. You know...like always.

More like lack of Scuderi.

We have the second most minors in the NHL, that's not a one person (or lack there of) issue

I'm not trying to be snarky or sarcastic when I ask this, but did you see the play? It was a penalty, but he turned his back at the last second. It's an astute play that smart players are using to exploit the system.

At what point do we start to worry that this isn't just a product of Brown being injured... and instead is just regression? I certainly hope not, and his decline in play does seem to be rather sudden, but those remaining contract years are looking longer by the minute.

Your right, that's both sarcastic and snarky.. Ya I saw it. I saw that his back went from almost completely turned, to completely turned. I also think Clifford had enough of time to just rub the guy out, which would have accomplished the exact same thing as trying to put him through the boards.

I was referring to our sudden inability this year to be able to kill penalties when we take them. It's no coincidence that started this year with the loss of number 7.

 

[chesed]

Cool poke check by Muzzin.

Ahh, I agree. Regardless of who we have killing penalties though, we can't be taking this many

 

[CowMix]

Not a fan of Muzzle but he's looked a lot better in this game.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Yet another penalty

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Why did he fall. Looked like a stick lift.

 

[King RAZZ]

Third swan dive leading to a Nashville PP...

 

[Nefarious]

Good hit by Brown earlier. I really want them to start laying some people the **** out!

 

[CowMix]

If Nashville hadn't been getting away with stick infractions all game I would be okay with that hooking call.
