Disappointing loss tonight. The Kings seam to have a mental struggle against the Oilers. The team has plenty of offense(maybe needs to regain their sandpaper scoring again), D is mostly solid, but to do some damage in the playoffs they really need a #1 goalie. Talbot/Rittich have done a better than expected job, but they shouldn't be the goalies carrying the team into the playoffs.

No Kempe, no Arvidsson, No Anderson and no legit goalie but Blake will go all in for sure at the TDL. We can get a Kings ransom for Roy this TDL, but we'll hold on to him for the playoffs that we'll miss and he'll walk for nothing this summer lol

Are u referring to JAD over Turcotte? I see Turcotte can make plays that JAD has no ability to...He would be an asset to 80 and 55 vs a boat anchor. To me that is actually our first line.

It's two left-shot players that are being put in scoring role and the two options as the third option appear to be two left shot players who can't score at the NHL level. Byfield has taken big strides this season and PLD has been a solid 2nd line producer most of his career, but these guys aren't going to be able to produce as a line with either one of those guys in that role. I'd like to see them give another look to Fagemo, he is a right hand shot and also is a better natural finisher than either of the other two.

I'd put Fagemo in for JAD and Old-Yeller Lewis and put Turcotte into his role, that lets everyone play to their strengths.

OK sure give Fagemo a shot he's never really gotten one. I guess the bottom line is none of the lines are clicking .. thats actually almost impossible to achieve.

The Kings are mid.

They don't suck, but they're not good either. Just mediocre. BORING.

They are still a good enough playoff team, but they should be upgrading their goaltending. You can't keep scraping by with Talbot/Rittich. Has the team not learned anything from when they had Quick?! Quick was a huge part of the reason they won 2 Cups! Obviously, you are not gonna find a Prime Quick type goalie, but they can certainly acquire a better goalie(you have to give to get!). And I'm not talking about an upgrade quick fix. They need to trade for a long term #1 goalie.

Death, taxes, kings blowing a lead vs the oilers by playing prevent defense and losing special teams. Yawn. This could be the same thread from 2020 till now

Doughty Gavrikov just doesn’t work. Kings are going to have to figure something out with key players dropping like flies. If kempe is out now too…

Re Kempe..
looks to me he slammed down on his elbow, which can be an elbow sprain or can f up your shoulder by shooting the arm bone into the shoulder socket

I've said it a million times but I just never understood the hype around this guy. He's done nothing of note at any point in his career to warrant his return and contract.

The biggest things of note about PLD:
1)Wanting to be traded multiple times.
2)Having the laziest shift of all time.

Those are the two things he's literally most known for.

You'd think those would be red flags, but the Kings seem to love him. They've wanted him for years. Going all the way back to his CBJ days.
