***LA Kings @ Pittsburgh Penguins Still-Kinda-Early GDT 2/18/24 >>3:00pm<< on BSW***

Jesus, Dubois, when you're doing something other than standing there, you're just costing us the game with penalties. :fpalm:

Soild game so far, despite the one goal lead from the Penguins. Good defense and Talbot looks killer today!
 
The problem with demoting PLD and or sitting him, it won't effect him. He is not built that way. Most players would be pissed, however, PLD would just carryon.
 
It was a weak call like the last 5 or so called against him. At some point he has to realize he has a target on his back and the refs will not give him the benefit of any doubt.
It’s not a good thing that we apparently have two forwards like that, and they are supposed to be impact players, not 4th line plugs like Brendan Lemieux was.

Speaking of, where the hell has Fiala’s deadly pull and drag wrist shot disappeared to lately?

Fiala has been near invisible for weeks. Felt the same way about Kempe until the game against NJ. We need them both to start lighting the lamp asap.
 
I just went back and watched the roughing call, that might have been worse than the first call against him, which was definitely a bad visual. Both players are jostling along the boards and the puck is well clear, the penguin stumbles, and PLD gets a rough? That’s a definite head scratcher.

Edit: just now before the start of the 2nd period Jim reviewed that ‘roughing call’ and my assessment verified. That’s a rough? Give me a f***ing break.

I initially read that as ‘PLD would just crayon.’ Could also be applicable.

PLD and the Purple Crayon. :mhihi:

Dumb dumb penalty by PLD leads to a goal of course. Jesus. Use your head dude. I hope Hiller chews some ass for that one
I disagree, I don’t think either was a penalty, or a very weak penalty at best. Dumb for him to get involved, I suppose, but if you’re asking him to play with more ferocity, you gotta take the good with the bad. I’d be fine with him taking a truly nasty roughing or boarding penalty once a game, though.
 
PLD is still not good, however Valardi is scoring for the Jets, which is nice. How many games did Valardi miss this season, and he is still producing more than PLD.
Gabe had a 3 pt game yesterday. Good for him. He had gone pointless since Jan. 16 and at one point was demoted to the 4th line.
 
When you are as strapping as PLD you are going to be noticed more on the ice so there is no need to do anything suspect on the ice.
 
Just don’t understand why the Kings refuse to park somebody in front of the net on a power-play there’s never a screen there’s never anybody in front for a tap in and everything’s on the outside

So he goes scoreless for a month and was hurt for a long period of time and still has more points than PLD. That says a lot.
