No, you've got it right. Hopefully they'll get it once they get to the grade where the teacher tells them what a triangle is.

Yea I agree and I dont understand how you can watch the game last night and put it on the goalies. They were outclassed in every facet of the game. Quick wasnt to blame for any goal and yea Cal played horribly and let in some stinkers. But they are not close to as good of a team as colorado.
The more recent struggles are because they are mediocre team that can win against anyone during a regular season game on a wednesday. But now the big boys are bringing their playoff games to the rink and the kings just cant hang with it. Its a combination of all things. Coaching issue, personnel issue, inexperience, and former stars fading. Not one person or line is to blame right now. The Kings are who we all knew they were. Glad theyve been competitive and gave it their all this season and hope they get into the playoffs. But if they want to take the next step to play with top teams Blake has to make some tough decisions this offseason. That and Byfield has to look himself in the mirror and say to himself this is his team and do everything in his power to start a transformation to a leader both on and off the ice. Be the hardest working guy in the league and he has the tools to do it. Its up to him really.

We were right there
Sheesh even I didn't realize it was that bad going back to january
How the f*** this team manages to be competitive with sub 900 goaltending, bottom rung offense, and bottom rung special teams is f***ing insane, imagine what they could accomplish if Quick OR the Powerplay OR the penalty kill OR ANY OFFENSIVE PLAYER AT ALL went on an absolute heater...i'm actually a little more shocked taht none of the above has happened. On paper, they're almost a 2012-esque juggernaut waiting to happen, but they're out of time for that, and unfortunately some of the most important players, i.e. Kopitar, aren't on the way up.
Kings give up low shot totals but high danger chances. If they give up 2 goals in a game, but less than 20 shots, it's a sub-900 goaltending performance.

The plan to ease Cal
The plan for the year - to ease Cal into the starter role over JQ wasnt a bad plan... it was based on the assessment that Peterseive was a capable starting goalie worthy of a 5m x 3 package in line with a Kuemper. That assessment seems to be totally incorrect based on failure to asses or just bad luck. Sometimes goalies go to shit and no one knows why... e.g. Martin Jones. The sucker punch is that his new contract starts next year.. 10m in goalies for 22-23 that look to be way below what you should get for that money. Peterson looks to be a giant whiff on par with having a top 5 pick not work out.
Herby
How could Blake have known?
The issue is, if you bring in another goalie that is better than Cal he is likely going to be on a contract more expensive than Cal.
So there is minimum $10m for 2 goalies, plus $14m for declining Kopitar and Iafallo. That doesn't exactly give you a ton of cap flexibility.
And yeah, it always shocks me how much of the Kings fan base doesn't realize how old Cal is, he played 4 years at Notre Dame and was 23 when he made his pro debut. He is not a "kid" or "goalie of the future"

Because they are a pretty darn good club 5v5. Our special teams have single handedly cost us 10 plus points. If we were even middle of the road, we are challenging Calgary for 1st seed in the Pacific.
We are about where Colorado was 5 years ago, but without a Nate McKinnon.
I still think we get into the playoffs as 3rd seed....MAYBE take Oilers to 6 games.
Offseason is going to be the most important in a long, long time!!!!

Luc and Rob are a waste of time and money.
The Kings defense was their best area last season and this season up to the D being led in experience by Maata. Before that, Petersen and Quick have proven mostly serviceable and occasionally great.
So it isn’t a surprise to see the goal tending numbers go down. Next season, with a healthy D to start with, the current tandem should be ok. Whatever offseason moves are planned, bringing in a new starter is hard to fathom. But any hope of Cal leading this team on a deep run is gone for me.
So beyond next season, you’re left betting that Cal exceeds his contract value and you bring in an affordable backup, possibly Quick on a short deal. But if he doesn’t perform, then you’re really in a bad position with no clear #1 in the pipeline.
Unless Petersen sinks to an .800 goalie, a buy out is too large a loss of face to be possible. But if he continues to be around .900, then you’re stuck with the one of the most expensive backups in the league. Anything in between leaves the Kings looking for a starter who doesn’t chew up cap space, good luck. This at the same time the team is supposed to be more competitive than today, which means playoffs++.
Our friend Jesse Cohen has said that for him, the Kings rebuild officially started with the signing of Cal Petersen, not when Muzzin was traded. If that’s to be believed, it’s turned out to be a shaky bet for a team supposedly done with the rebuild before this season started.

Totally agree. Quickie/Peterson are our goalies next year. I do hope that Blake and CO realize and see that Cal is not the guy that will take us to that promise land when the time comes. I'd really love for them to go after Wallstedt, even if it costs us a Faber. I'd also try and get Dryden McKay from Minn ST to sign on as a College FA.

That's such a stupid argument I'm not even going to argue with you.

Blake Out of Hell III: Back in to Hell
The original point is that the Kings have been BTFO several times in a short time span which is not the hallmark of a good team.
Every team gets blown out once in awhile but its generally only the bad ones that have it happen frequently.

Luc and Rob are a waste of time and money.
Insult someone for making an argument supposedly for cherry picking.
Proceed to literally cherry pick events in support of your own counter argument.
Close with an insult.

Come on, everyone know that when you’re good at something in junior you absolutely should never even be allowed to try it in the nhl. Not even if you find yourself there once accidentally and do it with ease. Nope. Better leave the failing to the veterans since they’re so good at it.

so you did a half-assed job at making an argument and expect others to fill in your blanks?
6 major blowouts in 2 months being top 3 in a division whilst battling for a spot was my point
if you don't like this point, just freaking move on, i have no interest in a battle of wits with someone that escaped his ward
