We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

it was a while back... i just had it in my mind he was an FA and looked it up and happened to have it right.. forgot about tobias rieder trade, and it reminded me what a useless player he was
God damn that was excruciating
It's so Kings to go out and dominate a good team (lol Shervaughn magically missing and not defending PLD the other night huh) and then go out and shit the bed against a league worst team on a back to back with their backup goalie in and missing their allstar dman
There are two ways to beat the Kings
1. Be edmonton
2. do that
(3. let Hiller coach like it's early 2024-2025)
Preds were trying hard to just not play hockey and pray for a bounce for a LOT of the game, top teams won't be doing that so I'm not worried. Chicago, on the other hand...
I'm just glad I had tickets for the other night and tossed them early on for tonight...Preds on a Saturday at 5pm? That had shitshow written all over it from the start. Just burn the tapes, no one learns anything here, and we go the needed result from a team who was defending the slot like fort knox. Seriously, that reminded me of when the basically AHL Canucks beat the Kings 1-0 on like 13 shots by doing just that...playing to not lose.
I didn't because Toby Reider f***ed up that series
He was so comically bad on that faceoff...still makes me angry
Zero margin for error for either team and he just f***s off and doesn't cover anyone haha, like he was running a go route

lol.So what I am reading here is that are saying that it's time to bring back "Serious Hockey"
Dammit no pics
Here's the joke
If you were to ask me what I see with this team right now is purely winning by the grace of Kuemper which is a red flag.
1. No goalie is stopping McDavid thats that.
2. Kings are playing some of the worst offense consistently. They go through too many periods where they barely register more than 5 shots. That is very scary. Imagine being so defense oriented against a team like the Oilers that have historically without a doubt been the hot knife to our butter. They are gonna cut this team up and the Kings show no ability to attack.
3. Hope gameplay right now. Byfield has 6 in 6, while awesome, its a rare thing for him and no one should hang their hang exclusively on Byfield and Kuemper. It's scary how unable the Kings are to transition from cute plays and barely attacking to high volume shooting. It just doesnt happen. That is very concerning. Coach has shown no ability to change the attack in-game.
Kings are playing unsustainable hockey and they will be swept in 3 if they decide to play this type of game again. They barely got a point against the Canucks recently while not attacking for the 1st and 2nd period. And they did the same thing today. Only turned it on slightly in the 3rd.
You cant take periods off.
It wasnt the Kings not attacking tonight it was Nashville. They just about stuck 5 guys in their own slot with no desire to break out for a good rush or even have enough speed to forecheck hard with support after a dump in.
Kings were trying to be too cute the first couple periods and set up a perfect play that wasnt there. In the third they decided to take what space they were given at the point and tried to get some shots through.
The Kings were also flat tonight. Much slower and less crisp than theyve been.
Nonsense. It’s always symbiotic. Part of coaching is not giving him the responsibility too early, plus making it ok if he fails (something TMac was horrible with). It’s entirely possible that Hiller could have given him the responsibility sooner, but it may have been too early also. Maybe he was waiting for QB to show him something specific first.. we don’t know. However it’s nonsense to suggest either party will achieve despite the other.
Dude. You are trying too hard to find negatives. You don’t need to, there’s plenty of legit complaints.
