Although I despise the national broadcasts, has anyone noticed how much better the resolution(or frame rate?) is on the ESPN cameras, as opposed to the Ballys/FanDuel cameras? I noted how much easier I could follow shots on net during last game, compared to our usual broadcasts. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this as well?

 

[Bollocks]

They should go with Kempe, Fiala and Byfield. Can't do any worse.

1. Who would take the faceoff?
2. Who would defend once the FO is almost surely lost?

I'd say Danault-Moore-Spence or something along those lines...but yeah, the Kings just don't have the personnel to match up well 3 on 3 without DD and with considerably slower Kopi.

If one of Byfield and Turcotte figure out how to win faceoffs, there could be some hope...

Cameras are the same, streaming resolution is different...

Not sure how the Kings are sitting on the bench when I'm sure they all got their asses chewed at the second intermission.

Sounds fun.

 

[Halfwall]

Why all the hate for Kopi in OT, the winning goal was scored by the player who eluded Fiala and every other King on the ice. If anything before I came hear to read the reactions I was thinking keep Fiala off the ice during OT.

Drama much?

There is no defending in 3 on 3.

 

[VCRW]

He's our best faceoff guy. He's out there to win the puck.

After the faceoff, I could see taking him off if the Kings lost the draw. IDK, I remember the Kings trying another trio a month ago and losing quickly as well. We just stink in OT right now.

But, once again, Kopi lost the opening faceoff. And then he got trapped out there… again… while the Kings just chased the Preds. That’s a losing strategy in my book. I’d rather have a guy take that opening draw who can go get the puck back if necessary and establish possession. I would start with Q and Foegele and have them give way to Kopi and Juice.

Oh… I definitely agree about Fiala. He is way too random for 3 on 3.

Who doesn’t love Kopi and Juice working their magic in OT? If suggesting Kopi not start the OT is “hate”, then I am guilty. But the OT game has changed since the days when 23-11-8 were a winning combo.

 

[symbology]

Anyone still remember when the Kings were invincible at 3 on 3?

Yep, they owned the change game in OT and caught teams with tired players on the ice, or in the middle of line changes. Have not seen that for ages.

 

[HiFi]

If we’re gonna lose in OT anyway, let’s pull the goalie and go 4-on-3 for kicks and giggles.

Don't you lose the point if they score on you?

Random is great when the alternative is a guaranteed loss.

It's insanely better to me! TNT, ESPN - better camera angles, better color, I can see the puck better.....

 

[Nyssa42]

Don't you lose the point if they score on you?

yes, there is some rule where the goalie needs to stay in the net - I'm not looking it up, though

 

[HiFi]

Don't you lose the point if they score on you?

Ah, that rings a bell. Well, we might actually win with the extra skater

 

[Bollocks]

There is no defending in 3 on 3.

That kind of philosophy gets you to concede on the first OT shift. There's considerably different defending, but there is defending nonetheless.

SoI was able to watch the game before work up to when the Kings tied on Laff's goal. I had to wait 12 hours before finishing watching the game. I jus t have 1 question, and I hope it's ok to say. Can we f***ing win an overtime game? I'm glad for the point, but seriously? Then again we shouldn't have been down 0-2 to this team. One bright spot is that QB has a 3 game goal streak. It's still too soon to say he's getting hot. Maybe up to room temperature. Now we need to beat Washington for this to be a good road trip.

It’s also nice to be able to fast forward and or go back if needed during the game. Occasionally, I’ll be late to start a game on FanDuel and any attempt to catch up through commercials or the breaks is a fail!
