I'm not sure I've seen a goalie lose his game/confidence mid-prime like Cal has in this short a time

I still can't believe we signed him to a deal before the season. With his resume leading up to the season, you take the chance and try to sign him mid-year based on his play. If he decided not to sign this season, so be it. But you don't give him a five-year deal before the f****** season.
 
Thing is, he's saying what a lot of us here have been bitching about. If you are a kid and your bread and butter is offense, you need to show it and not be stuck reactively trying not to hurt the team instead of proactively trying to help.

In order to do so they need to change philosophies, give up chasing the playoffs, and let the kids work on their strengths not just their weaknesses. Just don't think that will ever happen with this management team and Kopitar and Doughty demanding to compete.
agreed in sentiment but i don't think that's where his head was, i think he's just talking about activating defensemen in THIS game, some cheap copout like that

some "aw we've been doing a good job but we need a little more" crap
 
you should stick with this roster til death

if there's one imbecile that shouldn't rant, it sure is you
Oh my, how provocative! Maybe next time.

Damn. Kupari, Iafallo, and Kempe didn't score? I thought the Kings developed them all well so these kinds of games didn't happen.

Just thought I'd point it out since, apparently, we point out single games as indicators whether or not everything is fixed.

Edit: in all seriousness, holy shit are the special teams bad.

I dunno. I still think there's enough talent to be competitive. But the problem - again - is lack of identity/heart. Just look how many of us were pissed last night when there was no response to Kempe getting plastered to the glass. This game required an emotional response following yesterday's win, and literally no one playing tonight had it.

You gave me a heart attack thinking it was 5 years (it's 3 thankfully). I didn't hate the idea because you expect him to improve at this age with a larger role, and you go from paying an average salary to a much larger one. Instead he tanked but who woulda thought

There's more fight right now on this board than the Kings locker room.

I guarantee you if two people throw their Kings jersey on the ice two games in a row, heads will begin to roll.
 
You know it's bad when folks on here are about to kill each other. Yikes. Gonna keep saying this for myself there are 9 other teams worst then us. Edit.....soon to be 8 cuz Canucks are gonna skate right by us.
