Kings impressively shitty; blowing two goals leads in the third two nights in a row to the same team and losing in overtime. I look forward to this team finding a new bar of shitty in 2021.
The Los Angeles Kings are the only professional hockey team (NHL) yet to eclipse the 80 goal mark for the 2018-2019 season.
Looking forward to some high draft picks.
The next generation of players did not step up (perhaps asking too much) and this organization finds itself in a pickle. Tough to shed dough in the NHL. This thing is teetering on a dumpster fire.
I think we all know this team was going nowhere in these playoffs. But a better showing against Vegas was expected.
End of an era, Gents. It was a great ride, but it appears this team is burdened with some nasty contracts. Not envious of Blake and Luc’s roles.
There’s no offense. I did not expect this team to be an offensive juggernaut, but their inability to create any offensive opportunities or possession is embarrassing.
I don’t think Vegas is all that good. Offensively speaking, the Kings lacked creativity, botched their few opportunities, skated into multiple defenders all night. Meanwhile, Quick played brilliantly.
Not for a lack of effort, these Kings look old and slow while taking a beating. A lot of heart on that ice, but not much in the tank. Perhaps it is rebuild time? Is that even an option?
The Kings could certainly beat Las Vegas. It's the Nashville's that the Kings do not stand a chance against. If the Kings survive the first round, I am at peace with the 2018 NHL playoffs.
Still shit. Softies on softies? Still shit.
I suspect the US NHLers had a solid shot (although would have to catch Canada on an off night), but not this Olympics.
Nonetheless, another bad international result outside of the juniors.
Hey all... the hot stove is heating up. I appreciate that Stanton is from the LA area, but I'm a bit surprised that speculation suggests the Giants are a non-option. Clearly, a franchise that knows how to win, why would someone be so dismissive of that? Odd.
Also, a Giants fan on this board...
Always appreciate the amazing insight. Congrats to your kiddo!!
My instinct is to stockpile draft picks. Team control, with efficient contracts is the only way to sustain for more than a few years. This team leveraged a lot of their future for the second cup. I would not change a thing, but...
Losing to Phoenix is no easy task and the Kings handled it valiantly.
Organization may have to consider full rebuild mode. What are the thoughts on Quick, Kopitar etc contracts?
