Blake is out

The problem with this dragon, is that if you cut off one head it grows a new one.

And that new head might be worse than the one you just decapitated.

Today's news in no reason to celebrate IMO. It means we're not cleaning house.

My thoughts, too. Blake being fired with Luc, Bergevin, etc. sticking around is a worst outcome, especially if Blake was the only one pushing back on moves like PLD.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
 
Hiller may be next, but if I could only choose one person to be fired this year, it would be Robitaille - or at least kicked upstairs and locked in the attic where he isn't impacting hockey decisions anymore. (Let him go back to the community outreach and marketing stuff.) GMs and coaches are more easily and regularly replaced, but if he's still here we're all villagers living in the spooky shadow of Dracula's castle.

On the positive side, if the new GM is horrible, the rebuild will hit that much sooner.

But the rebuild will be run by a bad GM.
 
Luc Robitaille should not be involved in hockey decisions in any way. Point blank period.

Firing Blake is needed, but the dragon has three heads.
The smart move would have been to bring a hockey consultant who has experience building competitive playoff teams and have them evaluate and bring in new Gm, but Lucs ego would never allow that
 
Ray Ferraro come on down you are the next GM, Cammi can be Asst. GM.

In all seriousness, if they can Hiller, I hope they give Bylsma a chance.
 
I’m actually a bit pissed that he was allowed to rip off the C again (so to speak) and walk out on his own. I wanted a firing. I wanted humiliation. I wanted answers for all the stupid moves that were made during his tenure. Honestly, though, I wanted ALL of them fired at the same time. The fact that Luc is still here scares the hell out of me because I don’t know if the light at the end of the tunnel is daylight or a train.
 
Still not good enough. Luc needs to go too and Take Hiller with him. As longs as Luc is president, Kings will go nowhere. Now watch him put Bergivam as GM. Go from bad to worse.
this is my exact fear. Rumors Bergeron was being looked at by the Islanders last week. Hope that didn't put pressure on this org to try and retain him at all costs.

Blake was the devil we knew. Blake also had a great offseason and trade deadline with the exception of another horrible coaching pick. I was hoping that would continue.

Luc is just a blundering idiot. He went from being talked about as a Legend to a dark stain on this franchise. Not all hockey players should wear suits when finished, He had the qualifications to be a meet and greet guy, not a President.

Hiller is a great assistant coach. Smart, players seem to like him, great ideas, but as a head coach he has never gained my confidence. But the L.A Kings have never heard of me so I can yell at the clouds as loud as I want and no one is listening.

Ya know it's strange the older I get the less upset I am about 2001 and the more upset I am about 2008.
