We're past half-way through the season and Richards hasn't shown any sign that he's waking up. It's the same Richards. Time to cut the dingleberry loose.

Pretty sure he's telling people to stay loyal to the team and not be a bunch of bandwagonners.

Those who stay positive or "keep the faith", keep what you're doing. Just leave the people who are showing frustrations alone. Quit showing hostility because we sure aren't giving you **** for staying positive.

Please don't use the b-word. Criticism doesn't equal that.
At this point, I'm so meh it's ridiculous. I don't even focus on the games recently. I made some calls, did a bunch of paperwork, and had some beers during the entire game and I never even had interest in it. Just background noise behind music.

I agree, 11-12 mid-season was complete misery. It was one of the worst times I've had as a Kings fan, felt like every game needed a miracle to get two goals and the games themselves were sooo boring. And yet we still won the Cup. As bad as things are right now at least the games are watchable and the Kings usually score a couple of goals.
I still feel like the Kings are gonna make the playoffs, they're still only one win away from tying the Sharks in points per game, but as for how well they'll do once they're in I have no idea.

Its A Kingspiracy !
Yeah! Big nasty Regehr back!!!!
It really isn't the players fault at this point.... I mean what was Greene doing on the ice 3v3? Um that's asking Greene to do a whole lot of skating.... Same with Williams 4v4... small/slow don't work well when you have to cover lots of ice and win 1v1 battles....
Solid game.... Kings played well. Bring on the Guppies!!!!
Oh yeah Greener coming through on the first goal of the game for me!!!!!
I think the best SOG during the OT was by Greene 3 on 3.

Maybe that was just me then. Of course i expected them to be better but I still didn't realistically think we were going to win the Cup that year. Even before the Vancouver series.
Still, at least we knew what the problems were in 2012, a coaching move needed to be made and an elite scorer needed to be acquired. Both moves were made and the rest is history.
This season it hasn't been just that one thing, maybe the defense but everyone and everything have been bad at one time or another.

I agree. But there is still a team out there that will take Richards in a trade.

I meant the people who say "**** this team" without contributing to discussion (which I have done, but jokingly of course)
And I was just pointing out and clarifying what someone else was saying. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Folks....The Kings have to hope some team is willing to take that contract. Lombardi won't be buying out Richards.

Richards has basically been relegated by Sutter to a 4th line grinder, ala Nolan. He no longer sees any time on the pp or pk, which is really surprising because he's always been solid on the pk.
I think the best SOG during the OT was by Greene 3 on 3.
The problem isn't Greene's shot... the problem is his lack of high end speed... which right after the shot he took Greene was going all out trying not to get beat back to the defensive zone.... Just too much ice for Greene.

No worries. This team is frustrating, but I'm over it. They're like an annoying ass kid. Just let them do their thing and eventually they'll settle down.

Thats what I am saying. Its not worth it to buy him out and have his cap remain on the books for 10 years.
Even if it's for a reclamation project/low level prospect or draft pick or another contract with a lesser term, I still think a team will take Richards.

We were right there
This exact date in 2012 we lost to the Flames 2-1 in a Shootout
We had 56 points in 48 games. Right now we have 52 in 46. There were just as many teams scrapping for those spots. We've seen this movie before, folks.

I couldn't believe he didn't take advantage of it over the summer. The compliance buyout was a dream. I get that Richards really wanted to stay and I'm sure DL was Stanley Cup high, but damn did he really drop the ball on this one.
Which means he's taking up valuable cap space for a position he's not really excelling at. He shoulda been bought out. Now he's gotta be traded and the Kings may not get much at all in return. Maybe a decent pick, especially assuming the Kings don't retain some kind of salary.

I'd be fine getting a 2nd or 3rd back for Richards. The most valueble thing we'll get back is the cap space.

Been saying that for like a month + now.
The Switch needs to be flipped like a two weeks ago. 14 of 38.....It's hard to dress up those numbers.
Sutter is not getting fired either, so can't use that moto card.
