#52 Kings = suck @ Ducks = unstoppable = 2-1 loss AGAIN !

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
  • Kopitar is slowly transforming into the next Michal Handzus.

  • This team has not a single ounce of creativity. Everybody who has the puck on their stick goes in a straight line, you will rarely see a cross ice pass connecting tape to tape.

  • The powerplay has been predictable for so many years, dating back to the Terry Murray/Jamie Kompon era. Stand still in a regular formation, pass around the outside, try to get a point shot through and hope for the best.

  • Unlike the Kings, other teams actually work the puck from down low, below the circles. Watching the Isles/Pens game, they setup from behind the net and find passes to the hashmarks and middle of the ice. The Kings never even attempt this.
  • The players are all tailor made to play a slow, sluggish, grinding hockey game. They aren't going to win games by outscoring opponents, their only method of winning is by shutting down opponents.

  • Dean Lombardi needs to wake the **** up and address this team's weaknesses. They aren't going to magically flip a switch and figure things out. They need a player who isn't afraid to shoot the puck and they need front of the net presence. How often have we seen the Kings just float shots on net with no traffic, no second or third chances? Where is the hunger and desire to create havoc in front of the net? I am not seeing that from this group.
 
Replacing Payne with Nichols might work wonders for the offense,the power play immediately turned it around when they brought him in 2 years ago. I wish we would've just hired him then.
 
Some of your fans came over with some nice words for our team so ill return the favor. For all the complaints you guys have about the way the Kings are playing I'm still more afraid of LA than I am of Chicago or St. Louis. The way the whole team defends and takes away quality chances is truly frustrating to watch. I have no doubt that LA is a team that will likely do damage in the postseason again. Cheers. Enjoy Saturday.
 
I am so glad that I have to go to a wedding this Saturday and miss out the Stadium Game...And I hate going to wedding.

Can someone tell what was the point of bringing up Toffoli if Sutter isn't even going to play him?

The same as when Vey and Pearson were called up, when Sutter feels like someone isn't cutting it he'll go in. Then when he doesn't score 5 goals, he'll be back in the pressbox.:shakehead

Thanks. Regardless of how the Kings play I'm excited for Saturday. Should be an incredible event.

You people don't read at all do you ? There is a specific reason Toffoli is scratched.

And Toffoli is not going to save this team.

I doubted that they will fire any coach this season...unless we miss this year playoff.

If you score 2 on us, you have nothing to worry about. We can't put it in the ocean right now, no offensive creativity at all.

Trying to compare Richards numbers to other 2nd line centers and he's close to the ones I've researched.

Richards is 33rd in points among what NHL.com considers centers. The problem is that he is paid to be better than that, and needs to be better defensively. Why Richards is getting singled out when everyone not named Carter, King, and Quick are disappointing, I'll never know
 
I'm glad others are starting to talk about how truly boring this team is. I really began to question my fandom when I started to say the same a couple weeks ago. It's depressing. I wasn't even this bored during the Murray regime.

Idk man. This team just has so many issues. It's just a bummer.

I've been on the trade Brown bandwagon since 2011, with a brief respite in the summer of 2012. I'm not quite there with Richards, but I'm close.

Honestly, at this point they could trade anyone not named Kopitar, Carter, Doughty, and Quick and I would not be upset.

It's very, very clear this team needs a significant shakeup.
 
Why is Toffoli different than any of the other 21 or 22 year old kids in the NHL this year? Why is it so horrible if he doesn't play games for a couple of weeks? Plenty of other guys are going to be missing games.

It's just stupid to be as awful as we are offensively and not playing this guy while Cguys like Clifford play and Lewis plays with Kopitar.
 
It has been such a nice ride. A "playoff-team" ride. It's not there, here or anywhere anymore.

So many administrative mistakes the last little while. So many mistakes. A complete misjudgment in trying to be a pretty good team, even less a ****ing contender.

Basically the only attempt to shake things up were Carcillo.

Really? A pathetic attempt showing the true colors of being a pretender.

Not looking forward to Stanley Cup 2015...

The amount of blame he is getting is laughable. The entire offense is garbage.

I am not blaming Richards for anything , you people suggesting trades to shake up the room , with nothing grinders and role players doesn't accomplish anything .

The room would simply say "sucks for those guys" . Trade Richards and people ears perk up.

It truly is puzzling. His lack of performance is a reflection of what is wrong with the entire team. Even Kopitar's play looks completely off. It's as if they all ran a marathon in the first 20 minutes then are running on empty in the remaining 40 minutes. Even Doughty and Voynov have looked pedestrian of late.

I am quite bored. I will watch Saturday for the novelty but if they seem so unwilling to play to win I will probably change the channel.

I think a lot of the players are bored themselves.
