Agree on all points. Kessel is fine when he keeps it simple. He messes himself up trying to do too much. Tucker is just bad. He has 4 or 5 lapses every game where you are simply amazed he just did what he did.JR1 wrote: ↑24 Jan 2026 20:17 pmTucker belongs in the AHL. I know Kessel shoots right but he’s much better than baby face Tucker. They also brought up Skinner but he only played one game. But Tucker is one of Monty’s pets.2forDiving wrote: ↑24 Jan 2026 20:08 pm For all the grief Mailloux takes, Tucker is a clown show out there. Whoever was asking if Torop could be a dman? The bar is pretty low as long as 75 is in the lineup every. Night.

Pretty weak effort by Toro behind the net too. 4th line are all -2 and not generating anything other than the Bjug fight.JoshInFenton wrote: ↑24 Jan 2026 20:27 pm Hofer with a terrible game so far. not that it was his fault on all of them, but gotta make a save.
Re: GDT: Kings at Blues 7:00 FanDuel
I always liked Tampa's PP when they used to drop 2 guys behind the goal line. It worked for them but you hardly ever see it anymore.

Since I don’t live in STL anymore, I have the pleasure of watching this game on the Kings feed.
John Kelly & Jim Fox are so good, so professional, and JK’s calls are strong, exciting, and are quick, and not painfully late like Kerber’s. (Of course, Kerbs has one excuse since he’s having to talk over Joey Motormouth).

Re: GDT: Kings at Blues 7:00 FanDuel
It is funny though how a team can go from dead to alive because of a goal
Is this Joel’s game?
Can not giveaway these penalties though

The 4th line has been a nightmare for two weeks now. Before Sunny went down. Walker and Torop, between bad penalties and failures in their own end are a mess now.TruBlueFan_1970 wrote: ↑24 Jan 2026 20:29 pmPretty weak effort by Toro behind the net too. 4th line are all -2 and not generating anything other than the Bjug fight.JoshInFenton wrote: ↑24 Jan 2026 20:27 pm Hofer with a terrible game so far. not that it was his fault on all of them, but gotta make a save.

I'm rooting for a Win but I know the best thing for this team is a Loss and a better draft pick.

Buch just insists on passing. Even if there’s nothing there. Even if he has all day.

And when he shoots, he has decent success. I just don’t get the guy and how he plays.2forDiving wrote: ↑24 Jan 2026 20:39 pmAnd thru 3 guys. How could he not see them? He is just consumed with passing.

Re: GDT: Kings at Blues 7:00 FanDuel
Yep. No argument from me. He should have about double the goals he does, because he will literally get a puck in the slot with an open shot and instead throw it to the guy below the goal line with no shot.i really think he has the yips when it comes to shooting.MiamiLaw wrote: ↑24 Jan 2026 20:49 pmAnd when he shoots, he has decent success.
