Has anyone actually heard the entire interview to grasp complete context? Just curious...

Besides that, trying to understand from that specific quote, what's so bad about it that he should be fired over it, lol. Did he disparage women...or race classes...or homosexuals....anything like that?

Oh! he said exactly what we all witnessed!! I get it now, FIRE HIM.

You guys are hilarious...

TM gets blamed for of those days at the Office when Defense went out the door for both clubs

Mysteryman2 was 100% right there. .
One either tolerates shenanigans or they don't. Similar to terrorism after 9/11
You unfortunately think life is twitter and are only laser focused on canceling him for using the wrong pronouns.

It's clearly because you are soft on shenanigans and think that TM is somehow a victim. And that shenanigans are a right of passage vs a personal choice.
May God have mercy on your soul.

Lost in OT to one of the worst teams in the league two days prior, lost with one of the worst defensive showings in Franchise history only to lose the game in OT with the same exact strategy that lost the game as two days prior- what other context do you need? What- another loss where he doesnt call a time out and roll out 8-9-11 in OT again? How many more rakes need be stepped on before reaching official clown coach status? One thing to play devils advocate- another to ignore the obvious repeated blunders.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

more than 4 goals against in more than half their games about a third a way into the season and there is ZERO leadership or accountability for a rudderless ship

They're getting by on moxie/talent alone and the grace of the worst division in the league (despite that they can't win IN it) but the shit is absolutely hitting the fan over and over like once a week. How many games like Minnesota, Calgary, and last night does it take?

They've given up more goals than anyone but anaheim, very unserious franchise.

Indeed!! We aren't Wile E Coyote chasing a roadrunner.

Jesus f***ing Christ, how bad of a f***ing take is this?

Lost to Ottawa with 8-11-9, absolutely.....without question, took a flat out amazing pass...but they lost....

Lost to Seattle, on the PP after a stupid f***ing play by Moore.....but your f***ing hot take is...let's blame 8-11-9, because...what...all the cool kids are doing it?

Its like you watched what happenened, and went....f*** it, I gotta blame it on two people who weren't even on the f***ing ice....

And yet, it's the SAME defense as last year, minus Doughty, and Walker....so....are they the problem, did the addition of two good defenseman f*** everything up?

What do you think has changed from last year (one of the best defensive groups in the league, stat wise) to this year, where defense can't even be spelled.....

I rest my case without dont even need the flagrant overuse of the asterisk to do as much.

 

[kings11]

A quarter of the season gone and this team is still trying to find its identity, well I think it’s time they begin the search for a new coach.

And it isn’t all on Todd but he’ll be the first to go, this team is bad defensively and some of our forwards have regressed. Our goaltending is bad(a league wide issue) and we need to find some toughness as we’re as soft as wet toilet paper!!

WTF does that have to do with the price of tea in China

THATS not what lost them the game, have you never seen two players f***ing collide before??

Jesus Christ....its like you pointing out a picture of an ostrich, and blaming that for the pigeon shit on you window

 

[KingsHockey24]

Kopitar is our 2nd highest scorer so please lets stop pointing blame at our 40 year old captain as he's doing everything you want your 40 year old star to do.

Let's look at the real problem. Terrible D, terrible goaltending, and most of our youth sucks ass.

I am pretty sure he is pointing to the OT squad running into each and collapsing on the ice, which started the whole confusion before the too many men on the ice call

This guy demands $10 mill per year and is the captain.

If he is not responsible to calm a game down and lead by example, who is?

There was no confusion, tweedle dee and tweedle dum ran into each other, Kempe picked up the loose puck, the bobsey twins went and changed......Kempe got the puck to whomever was on the far boards just inside the blue line and went to Change, that guy who had the puck, went to make a cross ice pass to the other guy who changed.....and as that was happening, Moore jumped on early for Kempe....AND took the pass that wasn't meant for him....

Tell me...what in the f*** does that have to do with 8-11-9 starting the OT?

Here’s what is funny to me (more like f***ing stupid but I’m trying to be nice)…this is the same coach that arguably could have been considered for coach of the year JUST SIX MONTHS AGO.

All of us knew the defense was suspect coming into the season…all of us knew that Cal Petersen was a question mark coming into the season. Now reality sets in, our fears are accurate and instead we blame the coach for everything that is wrong with the team?

We all bitched and moaned about needing more offense, team needs to score more goals….that’s actually happening and we don’t give TM any credit for that?

We are 25 games into the season, nowhere near a point where anyone would consider the season lost, unless you guys have something to say about it. Ridiculous and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for being so f***ing dramatic. Grow some balls.

I think number one task for Kings now is to find and to trade for young goalie capable to steal games.

Number two task is rebuilding LA D with physicality, IQ and speed as main points.

Number three is very critical of not trading away the most valuable prospects team has.

I believe the following assets should be available for serious hockey trades:

• Kempe, Arvidsson, Iafallo, Moore, Kupari, Lizotte and Grandstrom
• Durzi, Roy, Walker
• Fagemo, JAD, Dudas and Grans
• 1st round pick for 2024 and 2nd round pick in 2023.

P.S. Edler should be waived immediately.

 

[lumbergh]

The entire team has a serious case of Durzitis. It has even infected the Danault line.

Might want to get a new prescription on the ol' bifocals there...

 

[Fat Elvis]

I'm not a fan of Durzi. Really like the defensemen be able to play defense. Sure he provides some offense, but he also provides offense for the other team. He may be a wonderful person and a team guy, but he just can't play defense. Maybe convert him to a winger, but definitely remove him from defense. Hopefully another team really wants him and he's moved.

Kopitar is top 30 in center scoring, top 15 in ice-time, and is the 2nd best face-off guy in the league this year only behind Bergeron.

What more do you want from one of the oldest players on the team who's literally led the Kings in scoring basically every year since entering the league.

You're an idiot. Where are the "young and talented" guys at that were suppose to be his replacement? Oh yeah, the AHL.

I would include Thomas, and an asterik for Turcotte......meaning that the return has to be extremely well fitted....

I'm sure teams are salivating at the thought of adding injury prone Turcotte, Thomas now out for the rest of the year too.

Shit even QB has the lowest value he's ever had and it's only getting worse. A move should've been made a year ago.

 

[kinghock]

The entire team has a serious case of Durzitis. It has even infected the Danault line.

That is why Durzi virus should be taken care ASAP.

 

[Statto]

You can only give him some credit if you give him some accountability for the screw ups also, which you didn’t want to do. You can’t have it both ways.

I have been very patient with things and cannot be accused of knee jerk reactions but there is a significant issue here. It’s a mix of roster (Blake), players and coach - nobody gets all the blame nor do any of them get a pass. Blake is ultimately accountable so needs to address the other two areas. In my mind this isn’t a problem that can be fixed by one or two trades, it goes too deep. So it needs both a roster shakeup and a coaching change because there must be accountability, even if it would be harsh. In some respects it would be because TM has done some good things but the issues are too ingrained and widespread and I don’t see tinkering at the edges fixing anything. I’d be happy to be wrong though as I like the guy.

 

[mysterman2]

Tell me...what in the f*** does that have to do with 8-11-9 starting the OT?

does this ring a F***** bell?

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Oh f***ing christ, you keep hitting the same drum expecting different f***ing notes......

Tell me how starting 8-11-9 LAST NIGHT against SEATTLE.,.....lost them the game......go on....

Honestly, I think the roster construction is fine, it's the execution that his very very hit and miss.....I think the systems....are fine....(except for that putride 1-1-2 PK system, still can't get over that) but the exectuion is shit....

So in your spectrum, how much of the exectuion is on the players vs the coach?
