Not Danault's finest moment.

 

[unicornpig]

Anybody who thinks Todd McClellan should be coach of the year should have his head examined

 

[kilowatt]

that's the most embarrassing last minute of the season

this team's gonna miss the playoffs lol

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Oof, that was embarrassing

 

[Docgonzo]

I hate that it’s a 3-2 league….

 

[Gjwrams]

Their effort and intensity at home leave a lot to be desired for me. Constantly coming out flat, and for a game like this……looks like It’s us and Vegas slugging it out for 3rd.

 

[Bandit]

Were we really expecting different?

 

[LAKings88]

Edmonton riding a hot streak into the playoffs. Smith still sucks tho.

Not confident this team will even win one out of the next 3 games.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This team is as capable of making the playoffs as they are in losing 11 in a row.

 

[Nasti]

Kings are the only team in the hunt who aren’t winning consistently.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Team sucks dick. Never watching them live again

Sucking peen at least is fun; this team is not fun at all. Just disappointing.

Four of our forwards had less than 10 minutes of ice-time. Like what?

 

[kingsboy11]

f***ing embarassing they can't win any f***ing games at home anymore, this team doesn't want to make the playoffs anymore. Powerplay is shambolic as usual and Todd is too f***ing proud to change the personnel or whatever. Wake the f*** up

 

[KingsHockey24]

Were we really expecting different?

I think we lose 5 in a row.

Calgary, Edmonton, Minny, Chicago, and Colorado.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Iafallo won't score another goal this season.

and yet....he will NEVER lose his #1 LW or #1 PP status...or have his ridiculous A removed.
How can anyone look up to a teammate that fails to produce anything?
I think tomorrow, he goes to his stall and another player or players have cut out a hole in his jersey and
the A is gone and a big hole is there. And better, a small mirror is attached over the crest.

 

[Sol]

Durzi is ass defensively and so is bjornfot

He's there because Kopitar wants him there.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

He's there because Kopitar wants him there.

I would honestly try to get rid of BOTH of them, this offseason. Seriously,

 

[Mats26]

Can't wait for another apology from Blake that he didn't support his coach. We threw away a 2nd for Lias Andersson but couldn't pay to get a real player or 2 to help this lifeless corps of a team.

 

[Herby]

Another game failing to score 3 goals in a game, results in another loss.

No #1 center ever drafted and developed to replace Kopitar.

$4m a year #1 LW collapses before our eyes barely looking like an NHL’er (no hyperbole). It’s time that Blake has to step in and send Iafallo to Ontario. No way Todd is going to ever deal with it and he is costing the team points by being in the lineup. He is either injured or done, whichever one it is either put him on IR or send him down.

3 points combined in 28 games from #5 and #11 picks in 17 and 19 while other teams are getting huge offensive contributions from players taken later in the drafts. I think many fail to realize just how bad those whiffs are hurting the team right now.

Just not enough skill and production in this organization, it’s been the same problem for years and years and years.

 

[HookKing]

This team is unlikely to make the playoffs, however, I give the guys a ton of credit for hanging in there as far as they have. They're just outmanned, plain and simple.

 

[shuchukfan]

I really don't want to go back and watch, but of course Danault gets kicked out of the faceoff and I swear they dropped the pick before Kopitar was set.

 

[kilowatt]

He's there because Kopitar wants him there.

Is that why Anderson's 1LD when Doughty's playing?

Maybe it's actually Kopitar and Doughty for Jack Adams?

 

[MBH]

Rough game.
But it's serious time.
And it's hard to win games during serious time with a defense of Roy, Matta, Bjornfot, Durzi, Stecher and Spence.

That the kings have survived thus far is quite amazing.

The Kings have to find a way to hold off Vegas or they're toast.

yeah there's some serious inbuilt excuses at this point, but the reversion to "who we thought they were" is kinda disappointing

seemed like they were gonna fight through it but i guess it's too steep
