GDT ***Seattle Kraken vs. Los Angeles Kings GDT 12/23/25 7:00pm on FanDuel***

Scottie Bowman in his prime couldn’t help this team. They are black hole AT BEST and only HOPE to win in the first round. This year, they are down Gavorikov and Danault.

I agree that Hiller could manage players better. Believe me, I’m no fan of his. If he’s canned, so be it. (Aside from, of course, it sucks for anyone to get fired.) All I mean to say is he’s not the actual problem with this team.

Kuz had more goals tonight than Danualt's had all year, so I don't think his offense is going to be missed. I think Hiller is a major part of these guys underperforming across the board, and I totally blame him for the series loss last year still.

When you have what seems every line doing its own thing, its the coaches fault to get them in line. They are completely disorganized.

It also does not help that we are slow AF and teams (especially younger ones) running circles around them and playing with passion. Which of course, they have none.

This team has absolutely no direction. It’s been many years since I’ve actually not cared and looked forward to a major change in the organization.

Down is a direction.

Did Helenius drop a duece in the sloth's office? How is he supposed to develop when that Cro-Magnon keeps him on the bench?

Turcotte won ~73% of faceoffs and only managed a little over 12 minutes. So much for getting a chance.

I said it earlier in this thread. Put Turc in the middle of QB and Kempe and watch what happens!!!

Yes I know we’re short on centers, but QB needs a reboot now anyway!

But this will never happen with the turd behind the bench. Especially not when our 4th line C gets an average of 2 min ice time as Helenius has the last couple of games.

Watching the Kings play this season shrinks my heart, lol.

 

[Dr. Tran]

They played a lot better this game. It doesn’t matter, they lost. Back when they weren’t playing well but getting points I said even if we played bad, we got points. So that’s good. But if that’s true then if we played well but lost, that’s a bad thing.

And for whoever’s keeping track. Turcotte got 12:11 of ice time. Close to what he got last game. But Helenius got 3:03 of ice time. Which is 200% more than what he got last game.

Merry Christmas & Go Kings Go!

Fire Hiller

HIRE FILLER! Oh wait we already did that.

I do want to say... this roster sucks, not just the coach. We have... Kuempe.
