GDT: Kraken vs Kings, 16 Dec

[Fuhrious]

I have to admit, I was surprised to see Moneypuck think this one was so close? I haven’t be following them at all, but thought the Kings were one of the better team’s in the league and for sure the West?

And also…

LA is in a slump, 0-2-1 in their last 3 games

 

[kihei]

I never look forward to playing LA anymore. For the past three or four years, they seem a team without a personality, just a random collection of players with the same jerseys.

 

[kihei]

Larsson gets us off to the right start. Enough of this "they score first" nonsense.

 

[kihei]

Not a surprise that it's tied as we have generated almost no offense except for our lone goal.

It’s almost expected.

 

[Toomany7pins]

3 shots last time I looked. Shoot the f***ing puck!

 

[kihei]

Daccord must feel like he was in a shooting at the end there. Glad this period is over as it could have been a lot worse.

 

[kihei]

This period so far has been laughably bad by both teams.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

4 SOG for us almost mid-way through the game. What the heck.

 

[kihei]

Phantom penalty call on Evans.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Is there any doubt in our minds that Dunn is not a #1 D-man?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Maybe that penalty by Borgen comes back to bite us but I am ok with the penalty. Let the Kings know that they cannot just be physical and get away with it.

 

[kihei]

What an easy goal for LA. And here I thought we played with two defensemen.

 

[Toomany7pins]

Dumb penalty cost the team a goal.
Like the sticking up for a teammate, but be smarter about that.

 

[kihei]

Kopitar has led his team in scoring for 15 seasons, second only to Gordie Howe at 17. That's a hell of an accomplishment. Looks like he is not stopping this year as he is averaging a point a game so far.

 

[Fuhrious]

Jeebus win a dzone face off PLEASE

 

[Fuhrious]

Fiala shoots the puck at the linesman after being called for offsides…surely that should be a penalty?

 

[kihei]

Jeebus win a dzone face off PLEASE

...or complete two passes in a row. We look like the gang that couldn't shoot straight.

 

[Fuhrious]

Best chances of the period right there

Ahhh I don’t love the 4th line being on with 6 minutes left in a 1 goal game…

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

LA is definitely tough defensively. We can't seem to get enough offensive zone time. Not enough SOG.

 

[kihei]

Right now I would take a single point from this game and run like a thief.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

No taking any chances

 

[Fuhrious]

D’accord exceedingly lucky on a couple occasions here…

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

So here's Seattle's chance
