GDT ***Colorado Avalanche vs LA Kings Opening Night GDT - 10/7/25 7:30pm on ESPN***

[JC6388LAKings]

It’s gonna be so cool to see which rental Holland trades our 2026 1st round pick for to try to make the playoffs.

Well, at least Blake as GM played it relatively safe with his moves. Holland seems like he's trying to be Lombardi but worse.

I think what bothers me the most is this is like 70% of the same roster for the last 3 seasons yet these guys look like they’ve never played together before tonight.

 

[Halfwall]

Any chance Kopitar accepts a deadline trade?

 

[Statue4Deano]

Give Turcotte more ice time.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Yet another Kings penalty, great. Third PK for LA now.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

2nd period ends. Colorado exposed LA and scored three unanswered goals. Meanwhile, LA can't seem to get their act together and got befuddled with how they want to play their game on the ice. The 3rd is next and I'm doubtful LA can ever answer back.

 

[MiketheKing]

Real amateur hour tonight

 

[sonnyboy11]

Not to worry folks - we got em right where we want em!

 

[fake_it_make_it]

Third period and down by 3

 

[Statue4Deano]

Necas looks better than anyone on the Kings and he’s the 3rd best player on the Avs.

It’s gonna be a long season.

 

[pray4mojo]

So...I hear McDavid might be available in 3 years.

 

[Liz4LA]

Can I get at least a goal in this fancy 100 level seat damnit!

 

[MiketheKing]

Everyone's looking around for someone else to make the play. No one is creating any plays or creating any pressure.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Byfield and Fiala looking like beer leaguers on that Necas goal. Horrendous defense.

 

[jgs]

Well I tried to be optimistic but I should have known better. Hiller as a coach is a joke.

 

[jgs]

So...I hear McDavid might be available in 3 years.

McDavid isn't coming to Kings, He will go to a Cup contender not a pretender.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

I've kinda noticed Hiller is underutilizing the 4th line again in this game like he did last season's playoffs. That is a sign of a coach who does not know how to properly utilize all 4 lines in a hockey game. You can't expect to win games that way, especially not in the playoffs. But Hiller is obstinate and would rather do things his way.

 

[MiketheKing]

Well I tried to be optimistic but I should have known better. Hiller as a coach is a joke.

Hiller is trash. He should've been sh*tcanned after years playoff meltdown. Coach Q was my hopes dashed.

 

[dneprovec]

Playing 4 times vs Ducks and twice vs Utah deceiving.In preseason Kings looked like contender.
Oh, well...
