[RayMartyniukTotems]

Is it too late to trade Foegele back to the Oilers for Arvidsson

Id love to have Berube here

Was hoping they would get him but nah the kept Hiller. Mr. 11-7!!! Brutal.

 

[kilowatt]

hey how does john tavares end up alone in front of the goalie

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

The Kings thought the game was tomorrow cause most didn't show up tonight better Luck next time I guess

 

[kilowatt]

such an embarrassing game team

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings have only given up 14 goals in the last two games. I’m sure everything will be fine.

 

[kingsboy11]

should've switch to the dodgers when it was a 5 goal lead

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

That was painful and a complete waste of time

 

[RocketKing]

Horrendous

 

[fsanford]

Well let's see what happened to Byfield.

Kings still on road another week. And locker rooms not touched.

What f'd up planning

 

[KingPuckChoo]

strong loss, on to the next one!

 

[kingsholygrail]

First of many regulation losses.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Hiller needs to put Byfield back with Kopi and Kempe he's lost and thinks linemates are just that he's not the Show yet and put Fiala back with Danault and Moore at least load up the top 6...

 

[Telos]

Well... We're no longer playing the 1-3-1... Let's be honest, we all know this was Turcotte's fault. Why he hasn't been banished to the AHL is beyond me...

 

[johnjm22]

Keep stacking these early season losses before management has time to waste assets trying to prop the team up.

 

[Herby]

It sure seems like they miss Doughty a lot more now than they did when he went out three seasons ago.

I think the biggest difference is that Kopitar and Danault were both elite defensive centers that season, and three years later (while still good) they are both no longer at that level.

I also think that Durzi, for all his faults filled in much of Doughty's offense and physicality, and perhaps more importantly his swagger. And as mentioned before a lot of the defensive mistakes were minimized with those he was playing with.

I think one positive is the Kings have the makings of an excellent 4th line with Turcotte and Lee. I'd prefer to see Thomas, but even with Lewis it's been good on both sides of the rink.

 

[johnjm22]

The Kings have become what the Ottawa Senators were in recent years.

Some highly touted young players with some well regarded vets, but no real direction overall. Combined with bad coaching and some bad trades they have to try and save face on (Debrincat, Chychrun, PLD).

We even hired their coach.

This man2man defensive play is not gonna work with this depleted lineup! I saw that type of play when Laviolette was coaching the Caps. Kings need to switch to some zone coverage, while the Center stays responsible of the middle.

With Turcotte's skill set, he should not be playing 4th line.
