I guess theres one thing we'll never be privy to - Gabes relationship with the org and his teammates and if it was a net positive getting him out of the lockerroom. No talks for an extension from either camps before the trade and he's been quite the vocal ex-King since he left

it's more than just one, it's been 3 games straight of collapses and uncharacteristic play

given this board does overreact but it's starting to be valid

You still got one heck of a hockey team. Even top teams go through cold patches throughout an 82 game season. Try to remember that haha.

All Vilardi said was Lizotte injuring him was a dumb play. Which it was.

I hope this is the worst of it. Glad they’re back on the road for the next game. I also really hope it won’t be like this while Gavy is out.

Whining about PLD is perfectly valid considering he was the big off-season acquisition and huge haul was given up to bring him in, and then signed to a massive deal which should have made him a huge part of the core going forward, instead he's been the biggest disappointment thus far

PLD can still deliver offensively for this team, but the $8.5 million per year was dumb of Blake. PLD hadn't proven to be a fit yet, but got the big contract anyway.

Vilardi is a nobody as far as I'm concerned. Too injury prone and won't last with the Jets. If you are not durable in the NHL, then you won't last that long.

The issue is that when the Kings do lose (and obviously you can't win every game), they lose in the way that exposes all of their underlying weaknesses that is the result of decisions made by management.

People who have been watching this team for the last 20 years can clearly see them going into this season, and it has largely been papered over because the Kings can score goals.

For example, if you would have told me that they lost today was because of injuries to key players that they can't address because they have no cap space, I would have believe it on day 1 of the season, because that is exactly what I, and people who agree with me, said would happen. It's not a surprise.

I agree it was dumb.. but he also said he has a history of it.. not sure thats true. And so thats going too far with the complaining esp an ex teammate. One thing if he doesnt know the guy or didnt spend 4 yrs w him. Seems like sour grapes.
 
TMac is the wrong coach to fix PLD. If have a coach who lacks strength in line/player match-ups, then how can anyone expect PLD to be given the right line mates. Best we can hope for are the Kings to get knocked out of the playoffs early again and TMac gets fired.

Lizotte actually gets targeted all the time because he's small player. Vilardi just twisting spewing nonsense.

Vilardi will be in the NHL long after PLD is done.

Bro I get what you’re saying but it’s not like we gave up the devil for an angel. PLD is a notorious douche and a quitter. The saying goes, better the devil you know vs the devil you don’t. If Vilardi, who was showing all the signs of popping off and immense skill but had attitude problems, why on earth trade him for PLD?
