Too much passing. Shoot, play for rebound, since neither of these jokers can setup a play. I’m on fire Todd crew if Kings get swept.
 
Last time management called the team contenders, they got swept by VGK.

And we can expect more reactionary crap from Blake to “get us over the hump” just like in the summer of 2018. Hell, we’ve already seen it this past deadline.

He is such an awful general manager. He has no clue how to build a contending team. When he’s finally fired without the Kings winning a single playoff series under his watch, maybe people will finally be able to see beyond “well the Danault signing was nice.”

Somebody needs to let a herd of cats into the locker room. Then say geez we didn’t need more p***yes in the room.

if Byfield doesn't become a 1C they'll be rebuilding soon enough anyway.
 
In bed ready to sleep, turned off the tv when that idiot IaFailo did his thing. Hope that he is gone before next season. Btw is there a thread about 23/24?

Hope QB continues to do some plays and build from there. We will need him next season.
 
If they have to lose, I wish they‘d show a pulse. Not a single scoring chance that I can remember. Tempted to switch to the other game.
 
Just get the pucks to front of the net, crash the net and make Skinner uncomfortable. At this point in the season you just have to grind it out, no time for pretty plays. Create 2nd and 3rd chance opportunities.

Something else that is very noticeable. The Oilers are attacking the middle of net with force with barely any Kings resistance. Kings attack up the middle is 0! They are playing way too much on the perimeter. Oilers/Skinner will take that style of play against them all series.

The real black pill here is that Blake is allowed to rebuild AGAIN despite so egregiously f***ing up the development of his prospects this first go around.

If that happens, if Blake is just given another blank check, man…I’ve lived through some tough times with this franchise but that would really test me. Lombardi was unceremoniously shitcanned and refused a second chance despite winning multiple Cups. If Blake is given more rope, that means the organization is rotten all the way up to ownership, and there’s quite literally no hope until Beckerman himself is gone, or the Kings are sold.

They are passing better and finishing every hit physical and possession dominance. Complete ass f***ing!
 
The way the Kings are playing, getting a goal before they get swept might be they're best goal.
