Any second they’re gonna hit the fans with the “Kings are cooking xDDDDD” and they’re going to say that seriously.

“We got second overall , yeah? but we were so close to getting first overall. I believe in this organization and next year we will take first overall”

Let's hope of it does come down to that we have a completely new front office , so we dont have to listen to him anymore.

Luc Robitaille is the best he has ever been.

Anyone missing the 131 yet?

Expecting success from Kings hockey over the last 8 years is akin to getting excited about scratching off lottery tickets that you already know are worthless.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Anyone missing the 131 yet?

Absolutely not

That being said, they SHOULD have it in their bag of tricks, just not full time

Damn. Terrible news. He hadn't posted in awhile.

Many scouts at tonight in MTL. Maybe Blake was working the phones after the last 2 games...
what the scouts at the game learned: Turcotte #5 OA 2019, was better than Dach #3 OA 2019 and Caufield #15 OA 2019... tonight. And Turcotte is an NHL center and not a fringe one.

Alex Turcotte has arrived. No more holding him back, no more jacked around, no more 6:20 TOI games ever again. He could have easily had 3 points tonight. Was good on boards, patient with puck, confident, making great plays in all 3 zones....and looking great with Laferriere. Foegele had a few chances and hope this gets him going.

First time it can be seen that all 3 top 10 King picks: 2019 Turcotte, 2020 Byfield and 2021 Clarke were all good picks. You cannot F up a top 10 pick and so happy to see the Kings didn't F one of those up.

Lots of scouts.

Very sad to hear this before the game started. Always appreciated his articles.

Can you imagine how excited the fanbase would be to support a young, aggressive team on the rise that included a stud like Faber and weapons like Vilardi and a properly handled Kaliyev attached to the sides of Byfield and Turcotte?

But "we're right there"....

" ..then the Rangers and Hawks somehow leaped over us in the draft and ruin our shot at Hughes"

Look at what they stole from us:

Kempe - Kopitar - Vilardi
Turcotte - Byfield - Kaliyev
Moore - Danault - Laferriere
Iafallo - Thomas - Kupari

Anderson - Faber
Gavrikov - Clarke
Bjornfot - Spence

Well yeah but then they wouldn’t have made the playoffs and been a coin flip away from hoisting the Cup 3 years in a row.

Why do you want to be the next Buffalo Sabres so bad?

Nobody wants to be the Buffalo Sabres.

But every contending team and cup winner built their core through the draft (with Vegas as an outlier, but LA won't get a roster construction opportunity).
