What's that noise on my TV?

They sound a horn for a goal? I had forgotten.

Lombardi is out of his mind if he is a buyer that or his hand is forced by ownership.

I think he gave up his hand last year when he got ownership to agree to re-up Sutter after 2 years of the team failing. To buy into the fairy tale that Sutter's system and the roster players on hand could still be a contender. THe fact he did nothing to improve the roster over the summer supports the fact he's still lost in the past. And he overmarinates his prospects. Mersch is turning 25 in Oct, he should have been up here last year, let alone this one. Most other teams have success in bringing up their prospects and letting them grow their game. Hell, the LEafs have 9 rookies and every one is contributing.
I think ownership realizes their mistake a year too late and that is why DL will be booted into a new office come June.
I don't think ownership, at this point, is putting any pressure on him, they are an average team, not a contender.

Mersch isn't up cause the guy can't skate regular NHL shift, and is now injured.

Mersch really does struggle to skate at NHL speed. Also look at all the youth in this lineup.

Keep hammering that myth of the Kings don't play younger guys.

The problem is, the Kings haven't drafted any guys other than Toffoli/Pearson(lately), that could play at age 20/21 in the NHL.

Kempe is probably the most skilled guy the Kings have in the AHL other than Brodzinski (a college guy). That's it, and Kempe looks like he can barely play NHL hockey at his age(probably needs to be sent down).
