Blame Fiala for not playing d but blame Kopitar for generating dick offense with those two making magical passes. Kopitar needs to be the 3 c and they need a center who can play between these two speedy all offense wingers.

Yes. Despite that had Quick made 1 or 2 more saves, the Kings win this or at least take it to OT! Defensive mistakes or not, you still need your goalie to step up. Quick was just flat out bad tonight. He has only had one good game and that was the 4-2 win against the Bolts.
Put him on a different line for f***s sake.

Well, the only positive to take away from this game is that Villardi should be on the first line from now on.

His presser tonight was hard to watch. He talks like "these guys want to run and gun be my guest, best of luck guys!" Not good.

If you decide one or the other or neither pass it on to the coach because
Despite several years here he's apparently not the coaching leader of this team
Based on that interview either he's incompetent or the players have tuned him out, either way, it's f***ed.
What is this dave roberts bullshit, who is the Kings' friedman

Isn’t it perplexing? You’d think he was a fan in the stands or just a random spectator. But he sure “coaches” like one.

Also, like f***ing clockwork:
*team signs one-dimensional scoring forward*
*player doesn't check appropriately*
*gets demoted and stops scoring*
*but still can't check*

11:00 at even strength, which makes sense since he's consistently been our best player at even strength.Vilardi with bottom 6 minutes

He's just gotta earn it.

Ya Ive been saying that we need a bridge 1 or 2C until QB is ready... I would try Vilardi at 1C as a short term experiment move Anzus to 3C - it will never happen but would be worth a try. At minimum get Fiala off that line and put in Vilardi, arvidson or moore... vilardi being my choice

They look like a poorly coached team, with bad roster construction.
I'm not a Todd hater. I have my criticisms of him, but overall I think he's just an average coach.
That said, the Kings are showing symptoms of a poorly coached team; lack of structure, undisciplined, sloppy, terrible special teams ect.
They should be able to clean a lot of this up, so I'm somewhat optimistic, but the goaltending issues aren't going away, and there's not much that can be done about it.

I'm done with this team until they can give up less than 5 goals/game. I'll see you guy next year!!!

Next game I want to see a top 6 of:
Kempe-Kopitar-Vilardi
Moore-Danault-Fiala
And I want to see it all game and I want to see Vilardi get a significantly larger share of minutes than Fiala.
If I dont see that then I have to conclude Todd is too stupid for this level. It shouldnt have taken this long.

All drama aside the Kings are actually a very talented team. The fact this team has no direction is purely a coaching issue. Todd needs to go. There’s no other way.

I just hope Blake doesn't go full Dave Taylor in a last ditch attempt to save TM from himself.
In the meantime, let it f***ing burn.

To be fair, the kings had to kill off 5 penalties and the 4th line got caught out on the ice longer than needed. The 3rd line was pretty even with TOI .

The Kings are still playing for Todd. They haven't tuned him out. I still see guys hustling and trying.
They just need to tighten up and get more systematic.
The schedule makers haven't really done the Kings any favors here early in the season. Very minimal time in between games to work on this stuff.

Goalie out of position.
They are talented & should be able to win a game without having to outscore their mistakes. Just frustrating.

I mean the problem is that he did even tho he didn't look that good. Can't just expect saves when you give up so many chances based off braindead hockey
Best excuse is he has amnesia and forgot he's actually the coach

I …. am…. The LA Kings!
Dude Blake should hire me to come in and roast these guys and see if it lights a fire.
Drew Doughty on the road is the perfect storm trooper dressed in all white and can’t shoot within a country mile of what he’s aiming at.
Don’t play Cal… don’t play Cal … don’t play Cal.
Quickie you said you wanted to play next year… did you mean in North America ?
Kopitar blends in on the boards during a powerplay like a deer hunter in a tree stand.
Fiala is apparently Swiss for “takes dumb f***ing penalties.”
If Durzi made even 2 more dumb mistakes a game in the offensive e zone his last name would be Arvidson.
Todd taking responsibility after a shitty game is like trying to find out who farted in the elevator.
Should I keep going ?
