[kingsboy11]

So let’s count. Arvidsson, Lemieux, Anderson, Doughty, Brown, Roy. All in the span of 2 weeks? Did I forget someone?

15Ls to the sharks in the last 21 games lol

Jim:”lets keep an eye on the TOI distribution this period” hahahahahahah yeah lets

See if he notices the Kopitar double shift

This is such a massive problem. To lose so much to a single team within your division says something about your coaching staff. This kind of stats confirms how bad todd is in playoffs when its multiple games against the same team. This means he doesn't adapt.

and now Roy is gone? Wow.

[BigKing]

They are done if Roy is out for awhile too. They are basically as good as last year's team which means they are dogshit.

 

[Moses Doughty]

At this point it's comical. Just gotta hope the team can tread water for a few weeks and survive for a late season surge. Can't even be that mad at results when a team is this hurt, especially on defense

 

[kingsholygrail]

Blake should be on the phone. No point waiting to make moves now.

Your ability to dispassionately explain the path to mediocrity is always appreciated

11-12 started with Murray as coach, and DL obviously had no plan on firing him. They got Richards, sold us on Gagne, and still weren't a contender. It's pretty much, you're mediocre, until you get lucky. Your top pick becomes one of the elite players in the league, or you massively win a one sided trade, or someone just comes out of nowhere. Something like that. That's what it takes.

You can be excited about the latest Ontario prospect coming to save the day. I’m hoping we have a proven NHL player added to the roster sometime between the end of tomorrows game and when we play the Avs on Tuesday.

There won't be a panic trade. The trade market is dead anyway, up until maybe the deadline, but even then, there aren't many panic trades then either.

 

[head eyes]

Lias Andersson hurt gain or is Todd just extra stupid not playing him in a 4-0 game?

 

[Docgonzo]

Forgot AA, this is awful stuff.

 

[apocalypse]

You still don't know what you have with this team. You gotta ride it out. Wait for 55 to come alive and then think about trades. There's nothing wrong with holding onto your players/assets for awhile until you get it figured out.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Blake should be on the phone. No point waiting to make moves now.

Strong chance he is going to get cornholed by his dance partners.

Still havent heard anything about whats wrong - and its week to week

 

[Herby]

What the hell for? You think one player is saving this team? I don’t give a shit if it’s McDavid or Hedman, this team is going nowhere as constructed and managed this season.

Because the young players on the Kings underwhelm time and time again and will continue to see their value fall. We are in 2nd place and committed to trying to win over the summer, and even though I disagreed with that, might as well follow through.. I’m not not saying to trade QB, Clarke, Arty or Faber for a rental but if you can get someone who can help your roster and you are giving up depreciating assets like Vilardi, Turcotte, Kupari, JAD or a 1st rounder outside the top 20 you do it. A guy like Boeser or Garland is going to be in the lineup now for this run and next season, can the same be said of any of those guys with any certainty at this point?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Lias Andersson hurt gain or is Todd just extra stupid not playing him in a 4-0 game?

Either reason is viable at this point

 

[LAKings88]

Eric Staal should be pretty cheap right now.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Someone pointed out he gloved down a point shot last game and left after that

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Are people still going to give me shit for worrying about Kopitar or have we finally officially passed that event horizon

 

[head eyes]

Shoot the ****ing puck Kopitar

 

[tny760]

you know i'm fine with kopi passing that after f***ing pathetic display the last time he had no one between him and the goalie

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

With this many injuries, I say you actually don't make any trades. This season is house money, don't go full knee jerk now. It's beyond frustrating, but what does adding 1 or 2 big names do to fill out 6 roster spots wroth of injuries? Stay the course. I don't even know if I believe that what I'm saying is right, but this feels like now is not the time to over react.

 

[Moses Doughty]

The truth is, if the injuries are in the vein of 3-4-5 weeks and Doughty's day-to-day is more like 1-2 weeks, the only trades you make are ones you guarantee are for guys in LA long-term. Can't trade your way out of these injuries

 

[apocalypse]

Andersson needs to stay up.

Sutter wasn’t available when Murray was hired. DL got him as soon as there was a reason. The Kings had two straight playoff seasons using a young core. If DL had held onto Murray and made the players into the scapegoat by trading one of the young guys, then he would be judged mediocre. Just like what Blake did after his charade of a team fell apart a couple months after a playoff sweep.
