GDT: Game #16 : KINGS vs. AVALANCHE - Saturday, 2/23/’13 @ 1:00 pm PST

[Chazz Reinhold]

At some point (maybe next game) Campbell will get a shot here. Muzzin has not had a good game.

Yet for some reason he keeps getting promoted to Doughty's pairing. I don't understand it. He's been a hot mess out there all game, yet he gets moved up to get more ice time? Sutter has some weird fascination with Muzzin, despite his comments last week. He's been undeservedly promoting Muzzin each of the previous 3 games.

Another three point game, this time Edmonton and Phoenix in ot.

 

[landesberg]

TBH, McNab has been complimenting the Kings a lot this game. He was really praising their playoff run. Mentioned the 16-4 record, the 3-0 series starts, etc.

The Avs broadcasting team isn't terrible when they aren't calling away goals and gushing about something stupid like making a routine play.

They are pretty good on the PbP, and analysis isn't horrible.

Why does Edmonton even try?

 

[Reclamation Project]

I don't get what's so funny, I'm not coming in here with any hostilities lol.

I thought it was funny. Not usual to see fans interacting with the opposing fan base's GDT.

Keaton has been worse. Campbell may end up replacing Keaton soon, especially if Martinez is out for another week.

Yes but for how long.

Great pass by Williams to the point. Defender couldnt control the puck. Of course #6

Scuderi's first 12 games in the NHL he was -4 with 3pts.

Muzzin has 2pts and is even.

I am not saying that the two are even close in skill or hockey IQ but Scuderi wasn't highly thought of when he first came up with the Pens either. It takes time especially for D to make the jump.

The only player who is minus on the ice today is DavisD so far.

How long will I rely on my record?

Until I no longer have the ability to accurately assess prospective NHL talent accurately.

Muzzin is going through the same thing that A Mart went through when he first came up and I am reading the same type of criticisms about Muzz as I did him. (different players same situations)

Muzzin is doing fine all things considered. Is he ready for the NHL perferctly yet? I don't think so but then like I said, if the situations were different and he were being paired with an established NHL D man there wouldn't be many complaints about him.

Ooops, there goes another dollar to me I guess.

I don't think he's being promoted. I'm pretty sure Sutter just cycles Muzzin, Drewiske, and Ellerby on Doughty's line because he doesn't trust any 2 of them to play together in tough situations.

 

[Little Psycho]

That's true. I felt it through the TV. Carter is just basically like GTFO.

O'neal is trying to come in between Carts and Richie's bromance.

 

[King RAZZ]

One of the Caps announces sounds like Gilbert Gottfried lol

Sounds like a perfect pairing for Muffin... He plays like that announcer sounds...

Yep.

Not a three point game if it's Edmonton. They're out of the picture, as far as I'm concerned.

Sure, but you touched on what makes them hard to listen to. Especially the way they call away goals.

Thought you guys needed more activity in your GDT

 

[SuperAlmeida]

I hope we get some PP's in the 3rd period!

I find the contrast between the player's name and the actual goal call hilarious.

CARTER IINNNNNNNNN score

This place tends to be pretty quiet when the Kings are playing well....it's weird.

**** off, Nascar

AND in home games starting before 5PM...

Edmonton and Columbus were eliminated about 3 months before the lockout ended.

Pretty sure Sutter cycles all three of Davis/Muzzin/Ellerby on Drew's line.

It's too keep from paring the disasters together.

And yet he pairs DavisD and Muzzin together all the time.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Poor Drew can't catch a god damn break on offense.

Showcase showdown?

 

[King RAZZ]

At least Doughty's a plus despite Muffin...
