Ingram was a very high pedigree goalie at one point, he's just been shuttled around because of reported 'not a good pro' issues. So not surprised he can flash brilliance.
 
Quick made a lot of good saves most of what he let in wasn't his fault at all he was solid in ot and shoot out bottom line a win is a win. He can build on this for a better result next time after all its been a while since he's played
 
Last night wasnt his fault but he looks shaky out there. Like everyone in the building puckers up whenever there is a shot on goal and he knows it and feels it also. Hope he has one last run in him though.

LOL I get that....he doesn't really inspire the confidence he once did...but the jackals here are so quick (see what I did there) to blame him when they don't understand what they are watching, it's comedy gold

The only run he needs is to an elderly home. Kings continue to bleed goals with him in net.

He sucks big time. There’s a reason why is numbers are terrible it’s because he is lol

Was at the game and can confirm- Quick just does not look comfortable at all and the old swagger/body language is gone. Everyone in our section held their breath with every Coyote shot on net and huge sigh of relief with every puck that missed the net.
 
Either acquire a legit starter or don't get another goaltender at all.

Copley is fine as our guy till the end of the season and it'll let Jonathan Quick play out his last few games as a King. It's not like we're contending for the Cup this year against a team like Boston/Carolina/etc.
 
Again, I don’t see why everyone loses their mind about Quick. He’s clearly done and will retire a legend at the end of the year.

The obstacle between the Kings and a Stanley Cup in 2023 is not Jonathan Quick. We are not contenders this year even with league average goaltending.

That last part is off the mark, but I don't think any of us expected this season to play out like this.

If they had one more win they'd be leading the western conference. They beat Boston in their barn, and were a handful for Carolina when we went there. They aren't a juggernaut, but I think they have as good as chance as anyone to come out of the west. That has little to do with Quick directly, but if they had a legit #1 right now they might even be the favorite to make it to the final.
 
If they are serious about the playoffs this year, then the FO needs to have a talk with Quick and his injury status. He's not regaining anything. If we were still tanking, then he'd be perfect and you'd let him play things out on the retirement last hooray trip. But we're past that phase now. It's time...it's over.
Try Cal as the backup for 1-2 games to see if he can be decent as the backup option and not lose games by himself-- if he fails, then make a trade for a solid backup to finish out the year.
Maybe wash Quick's uniform and equipment in a "Hossa-special" detergent.

The Kings would be the best team in the conference if Quick was simply playing as well as Cal did last year. It isn't even league average goaltending required. If Copley has a Mike Smith like meltdown during the playoffs, it is an easy win for the Kings' opponent.
 
That's fair. But they've also had games (Seattle, among others) this season where it just didn't matter how much they scored, and I'm not saying that's all on the goaltending, especially at that time.
Quick's definitely done. I just don't get the piling on. They won both games. 4pts in a back to back is good. They blow leads. They've done it with Copley too. I'm not sure why people think he's immune to this.

Pump the brakes, champ. The Kings would likely win the Pacific with above average goaltending, but they’re nowhere close to the best team in the conference.

When healthy Colorado is definitely the favorite, but they've been decimated by injuries all season. Outside of them you have Vegas, Dallas, Seattle, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and LA, feel like any of one of them could take it if Colorado doesn't get back to 100%,
 
Love it when actual facts don't f***ing matter......LA is nowhere near the best team in the conference...cuz I feel......that....

Meanwhile, they are 1 point behind Dallas/Vegas for the Conference lead.......

"But they Kings suck!!!! cuz they've sucked for so long, they will never win, I feel that......" f***ing imbeciles around here......

There's not a goddamn team in the league.....with probably the sole exception being Boston or Tampa, that doesn't have holes.....but let's ignore the facts...cuz of feelings....

If Durzi holds the puck opening night, the Kings are tied for first in the conference. Better goaltending improves the team more than that.

Why not though? They aren't favorites but with better defense or goaltending they could make the WCF at least.

They may have a few statement wins and a good record in a bad division but I do not buy their chances in series format

LOL feelings....not facts.....

Are they as good as teams in the East....nope....no team in the West is....not even COL this year, but....sure, let's count out the team that without Doughty, Arvidsson, and Fiala, took EDM to 7 games.....makes sense.
 
I don’t necessarily blame Quick for last night, although I do think he’s pretty much done. I blame the mental fragility of the team. Theres a reason posters were joking about the coyotes coming back and that isn’t necessarily simply because Quick was in net but because weve seen this team come up short in the mental game all throughout the season. I will say they’ve been doing a better job of putting teams away lately, but they haven’t been facing too many good teams.
