The good I saw was Kaliyev, Dubois and Laffy may have had best games of the season.

Yes Kaliyev made a great move in the high slot to shed a guy and get a shot off - never seen him that agile.. he looked fast all game. My big critique of him is the way he gets his shot off.. he does the back and forth before the release, like Pee Wee player who doesnt ahve the strength to snap it.

Yeah, but I feel bad for the guy. I would rather him get injured in the NHL where he can collect a proper paycheck. I know injuries do occur at the NHL level, but I think he’d be much safer up here.

Hindsight is always 20-20 but maybe he should have stayed in College 2 more years and gotten stronger and more mature before tackling the Pro game at the AHL level with goons still running rampant...you are right it is safer at the NHL level

Has no one any insider info to what happened to Copley in that practice that resulted in a significant injury? I bring this up because that 1st bad goal on Rittich was something you see Beer League hockey goalies give up! That softy changed the whole momentum of the game, along with the noneffective PP.

yeah it's close enough, i feel like danault is a little hard done by that negative defense but he seems like a guy who needs to learn his linemates

If only our playbook was as tightly kept a secret and as hard to navigate as our injury info

I wish.

But at the very least I wish they would freeze the organizations assets so Blake can't do anything stupid on his way out. Last thing we need is the desperation trade right now. It's not a personnel issue, trades won't save this shit. He's already done enough damage.

This continues to be a big concern of mine.

We have seen this happen before to this franchise.

The 2005-06 season the Kings brought in veteran players in the offseason and foolishly thought they were contenders, and ended up trading young players for veterans at the deadline. Luckily Tambellini and Grebeshkov both ended up beinbg underwhelming.

Same thing happened with Dean post second cup and we weren't so lucky with what we gave up, we saw a desperate GM throwing **** against the wall which resulted in the ridiculous Bishop/Cernak trade.

Desperate managers who know their jobs are on the line can damage the team for years down the road on their way out.

I've said it elsewhere but I FULLY expect Blake's plan is a Spence/Turcotte/1st trade for something at the deadline that will walk in the offseason. He's gonna empty the cupboards thinking this is their last chance.

But to me this isn't a personnel issue. This is systematic rot.

This will be interesting for the next game vs the Caps. Chucky Sideburns, who stonewalled the Kings in that 2-1 loss game is out with an injury, so former Kings goalie Darcy Kuemper will most likely start against the Kings. Former Kings goalies are 2-0 vs the Kings this season(Quick, Jones). Will it be 3-0 or did I just break the curse?!

That Kings effort in OT was one of the worst I've ever seen from a team that ended-up going to the shootout.

This team continues to struggle in 1 goal games. They have no backbone in tightly contested games, and these are the type of games you have to prevail in, in the playoffs.
