So when Blake signed our pp coach, the same guy who had the Ducks pp under 10 pct, he knew this could happen here right? What's the definition of insanity again?

1-21 and getting worse...

That's the consequences of having no one around in the media to call them on their bullshit.

Kings fans are essentially being deceived right now and told everything is fine and great.

The PP hasn't changed at all, and is dead last. It takes all of about 5 minutes of research to look into the PP coach's track record to see why it might be. But no one is around that will question it.

The Kings are a complete culture of yes men celebrating mediocrity and we fans are being expected to buy into it.

There was a farmer had a dog and BINGO was his name-o!

This is where we really miss Helene. Out "media " is too tied in with the team and afraid to speak bad and point out the obvious flaws

When we had a top power play (22-23) we had Vilardi, Arvidsson & Kaliyev adding in 23 power play goals. It’s more about personnel, not coaching.

If only they had another highly skilled offensive d-man that could run the power play... Oh well.

Would be interesting to do a forensic audit of Brisson and Luc finances

Have to imagine that if hes signed then one of Clarke or Spence is going to be dealt.
With this timing I wonder if Blake approached Gavrikov about wanting to stay a King or be dealt.

Beans on toast sucks arse. Baked Beans are just awful.

Marmite on the other hand….

Just a reminder, Vegemite and Marmiite aren't the same thing . Found out the hard way.

That PGP is gross. And the comments on this on the Kings' Facebook post on this are (literally) unanimously negative regarding the service itself.

I really wish the Kings would follow the Ducks' lead RE: the Victory Network setup (possible financial implications aside - which means that it almost certainly won't happen!)

Perhaps I shouldn't be discussing this but...

The Ducks didn't move to Victory+ out of altruism or dedication to their fans it was a clever "last resort" based on the shifting television and RSN markets and what they thought would be best for them based on guaranteed revenue etc.

The Kings receive payments from Fan Duel Sports Network and as long as those payments are sufficient I suspect they won't be experimenting with streaming.

Sorry.

EDIT: I mean "self produced" streaming like Victory+ obviously there are the options for FDSN

Its hard to even enjoy games lately with the state of the world rn, hockey is one of my last sanctuaries but its tough when the team looks like another 1st round exit and has a bleak future, how symbolic.

I started watching Winnipeg. I find their games much more enjoyable than our LA games and I get the bonus perk of watching Vilardi.

While I appreciate the background detail (and TBF, I did acknowledge the financial ramifications earlier), I'll just leave it at this: from a fan's viewing perspective, right now, I'd give the Ducks around a "B" and the Kings a "D-." Judging by the Facebook comments, I'm not alone; but if the finances > viewing experience, I guess we'll just have to take our medicine.
