Most of the chances are coming from guys like Brown/Clifford/Lewis. Top 2 lines are getting shut down and have anchors to drag around. It isn't working.

I know I agree, seriously it's pretty depressing to watch when Brown/Clifford/Lewis are our best forwards. :cry:

**** it... Full tank time! Call up Scuderi, shut down Quick for the year, heck trade for Pavelec while DL is at it... Wait, who the hell would the Kings get 1st overall? Damn it... :cry:
 
Carter had a kid. Kopitar had a kid. Brown had all the kids. Real life makes the Kings suck I guess.
 
At least Kesler didn't get his 500th point against us, can't stand the guy. My opinion of Bieksa went up, he's now just a lowlife instead of dog ****. He wasn't a spot picker against Clifford, squared up against him.

Our boys can't string two passes together, it almost seems like they lack confidence in the D or something.
 
Alec Martinez is not Erik Karlsson and he's not Brent Burns. Holy ****. Do you even watch this sport?

Top respond to your comment in the gdt, I most definitely do not hate speed and skill. I just think that the Kings play far too.neutered. Lots of teams in the league can play with speed, skill and an edge. The Kings do not play with an edge and I can only look to the coach as the cause.
 
Anyone else irked by Sutter blaming Budaj for that game? Man your team hasnt scored in 180 minutes and you blame the goalie...Im over him....hope he gets canned

From all indicators he doesn't discourage speed or skill or attacking the net.

The first thing he said was you don't win any games not scoring goals. No, wait that was the 2nd... First thing he said was he thought the Dowd line played good. He said he pulled Budaj because he wasn't making saves and it's true. He wasn't.

think that was a message to upper management to make a deal fast for a goalie

and also, i doubt Sutter gets fired this season, he'll get the Therrien treatment as the Kings' ****** season can easily be blamed on not having Quick in the lineup

that'll be his scapegoat
 
Our Top 6 looks horrid, nobody has been an offensive threat. Toffoli looks lost too often, Carter shot looks off and Kopitar is losing board battles more than he usually does. Everything is going wrong at once, oh well stay the course.
 
What was the quote?

Pretty upsetting if that's true.

On the decision to pull Peter Budaj:
He wasn’t very good. I mean, did you look at the shots and scoring chances? He wasn’t very good. That’s clear. I don’t pull goalies very often, but they’re expected to make some saves. When they scored with 15 seconds left in the first period, that’s deflating to our hockey club. Or whatever it was – less than that, maybe. I’d say the only good goal tonight was Kesler’s tap-in.


Dude has lost it if he thinks that Budaj was the reason we lost this game. He has had zero goal support over the last 8 periods he has played in. Hopefully Sutter gets termed sooner than later

You left out the part where he calls out his captains to start scoring more.

On an assertion from Anze Kopitar that the team needed more emotion and desperation:
I think when you get detail, when there’s two or three mistakes probably tonight, that when you’re not scoring, there’s probably guys that sag a little bit. That’s up to Kopi and Drew and … Jeff. That’s a positive – Jeff and Megan had a little boy. That’s why Jeff – he was up all night. That’s awesome.


He barely calls them out, no where near as much as he did Budaj

Yep. He wasn't happy with the late period goal and called him out for it along with the other goals he gave up. He also said there is no help coming from Ontario.


 
The goal at the end of the first was horrible.

Team does not have adequate goaltending. Period.

Embrace the suck. Join me.

On the bright side, Clifford was awesome. That's no cakewalk going with Boll and Bieksa in less than 20 minutes.
