This season has gone almost perfect for posters hoping for the team to tank. The Kings are in damn near every game, then choke the lead in the 3rd and lose by 1 goal, keeping them out of the black hole while looking somewhat decent.

It's been fun. They're losing in a different way this year.

 

[HookKing]

Pathetic.

That last goal was a perfect tank moment.

A nice win here or there is still good. When they do win, I would prefer it be over a good team and not another garbage squad.

 

[tny760]

you just knew it was gonna be him

 

[Bandit]

Heh, natural hat trick. Naturally.

 

[Little Psycho]

Lmao he was on cruise control the whole night and he ends up with a hatty

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Ovechkin only needed a couple of decent shifts and it was all said and done.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

We talk like players are dying when they hit 30 and you're saying he's only 34?

Huh???

 

[kingsboy11]

A 6 minute hat trick. The greatest goal scorer ever.

 

[Sol]

At least Ovechkin got a hattrick.

Wait was that a third period hattrick all three goals

 

[kingsfan28]

a hattrick in under 5 min for ovi. solid 50 min didn't mean jack in this game.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Huh???

I don't think he'll get there. He'll be clear #2 though.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Welp onto Long Island

 

[Bandit]

"Moral victory"

 

[Little Psycho]

If anyone had to score a hattrick under 5 mins against us I'm glad it's him.

 

[BigKing]

So we knew it would be bad this year and that was the "plan", but it is okay for T-Mac's squad to be worse than last year with Willie D? They are behind last year's pace, right?

Also, that "more entertaining" thing they had going on very early in the season doesn't feel like it anymore: or for awhile.

his only 3 shots.

I'm having a good time. How much better were they supposed to be? I just wanted them to play like they were at least conscious. It doesn't look like they don't give a shit. They just suck. Last year they just looked really disengaged.

 

[sinister6000]

The return of the escort service.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Over/under giving up 4 goals?

Well, folks, it was even it looks like.

Wait until next year. The Kings are going to be even worse.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I don't think he'll get there. He'll be clear #2 though.

He was supposed to slow down 5 years ago yet he is still scoring 40+ goals a season. What sucks is that a lockout cost him his real rookie season. He has a legit chance to pass 99. His career low in goals is 32. And judging by his durable body's history, I like his chances.

 

[funky]

I hope we get a mini Ovi in Kaliyev.

 

[Bandit]

his only 3 shots.

Meanwhile every skater on the Kings needs 3 shots just to get one into the goalie's chest.

 

[kingsfan28]

Now we have to listen to the entire hockey media talk about Ovi's hattrick all week. f-ing Kings !
