That was a criticism not a compliment.

The point was they SHOULD have had those extra 4 points.

I think the point should be that they didn't because this team isn't very good.
At least not with Byfield, Danault, Moore, Fiala, etc playing like crap, and Doughty out.
To be honest, they should have a worse record with the way they are playing.

I also said last night that it may be time to accept the harsh truth that the team isn't as good as it was last year...

Jesse, next time you see Rob, can you tell him that Lt Dan is not happy?

 

[Johnny Utah]

I like this team way better than last years, they actually have some balls finally, but Spence and Byfield seem to have regressed.

Do the Kings really miss Grundstrom, Lizotte, PLD, and Talbot? No.

Do they miss Matt Roy. Probably...

Arvidsson was oft injured.

Danault, Moore and Fiala have ALL been terrible.

Akil Thomas doesn't look good either. Same with Turcotte.

I shouldn't be mad because I've been rooting for them to lose all season. It sucks to be in this position as a fan, but this type of game really is the best thing for the franchise.

We need them to suck so they don't buy at the TDL. Hopefully they're bad enough to be forced and into a rebuild and get management fired.

I don't think Doughty finishes his career as a King.

I don't think the plan here is the same though. There have been multiple "teaching moments" along the way, combined with Doughty's absence, that have seen a more forward-thinking approach than in the past few hell-bent-for-the-playoffs years.

I am not upset with what is happening here at all. Not only is it on par with where they realistically should be, but its also validated so many of the concerns that were brushed away by so many over the last few seasons while they bought their way into a first round drubbing.

This year HAD to happen, its just a shame it didn't happen three years ago.

After a night of rest I can say Blake did a good job putting emotion back in the game for me over the last 12 hours

instead of completely disconnected

I am infuriated

Thanks!

Next step is madness I’ve been here for 2 years…. the waters warm.

This is the worst I have ever seen Danault play. I am wondering if he is injured

I have no idea what’s going on with him but I see him gliding so often and not skating. Don’t know if he’s checked out or injured.

hopefully the media decides to really commit to writing about the Kings downfall with real honesty. And if anyone has balls to really talk about the failure of the rebuild.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Blake will be allowed to do something monumentally stupid to guarantee next year will be like last year.

I see. I guess I was confused because I’ve never heard you criticize the team before. First time for everything I guess.
