Game Thread: G3 1-0-1 Kings @ Senators 10/14/24

10am game time, feels weird on a Monday. Just had a meeting for work and have the game on silent in the background. Don't expect many of us to be able to watch this one.

Not much else to say, Kings up 2-1. Freaking Lewis scored, don't get used to that. Going to keep an eye on the Stuetzle Byfield comparison.

Prediction: King 3-2. Turcotte gets the third.

Let's Go Kings!

Have it on (muted) as I work from home today
Kings lead after first by shear luck

The hell is going on? Seems like a fluky day game, Kings lucky to be up 4-3. Make that 4-4 as I type, WTF?

Also read this over the weekend but can't remember where, there have been no contract extension talks with Blake or Gavrikov. Sounds like a Matt Roy situation and he may be available by the TDL.

Couple of bad shifts/plays have the Sens tying it @ 4, Kuemper looks weak high on glove side, goal against #2 was baddddd....although seems like Ottowa just has to complain about something(anything) and the refs give them what they want...

 

[PuckinUgly57]

I'm surprised Kuemper started, he looks bad. I would put Rittich in.

Sens score again to tie it 5-5. Clarke looks like a defensive clown assists or not. Buster MIA again, Laferriere really strong showing.

Nothing like a good defensive game

By that I mean this game is nothing like that

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Kings completely off today, apparently it's a 7-6 league. Kuemper should sit next game, Hiller seems bent on running him into the ground like he did Talbot.

Vintage Blake crafted team, getting pushed around, forcing defense to play classic 80-90s "Olay-Defense", fitting of the "new" logo....

Give up 7 goals and still get a point

Sure that's neat, Except when you only give up 1 reg goal and get a point as well....

 

[PuckinUgly57]

The new system needs to be cleaned up and fast, Buffalo sliced through the NZ as well but doesn't have the offense Ottawa does, they also went right through it were able to score. Can't count how many looks down the middle occurred over and over again.

I don't miss the 1-3-1 but this needs to executed to a T every time or else there will be more games like this.

Avs and Oil both look just as bad....wont last I imagine

Oilers were terrible the first 15 games or whatever last season leading to Woodcroft getting fired, I'd expect them to turn it around and be there in the end.
