GDT: Game #42: LA. WHY_BOTHERS @ ST. WILL_CRUSH_US - Thursday, 1/2/’13 @ 5:00 pm PST

No in this case, you go back to what worked for you so well in the first third of the season; put Carter and King back with Richards and Brown (or Toffoli) and Williams up with Kopitar. I don't care what you do with the other 6. This is the definition of crazy- doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Maybe he'll do so in the 3rd period. Then again, he might not put the exact line combo's together that people want, which will only enrage people more. I want Sutter to do something...but not that! Anything but that!

It really hasn't even been the particular lines at ES that are such a problem. The PP is sucking again, the Kings are taking too many penalties.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Can we call Vey back up already? **** it bring Pearson back as well.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Just a tough stretch right now. We've lost 5 games straight where the opponent has not outplayed us and we've had the puck 70% of the time.

Ah, ye olde "rope a dope" huh? Cause that's basically what's happened to the Kings.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

This team will go some where when we get black holes like Lewis, Fraser, Stoll, and Clifford off the team and replace them with guys that have some talent. And it's sad that it's that many people.

And Martinez should ask for a trade.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I sense a players only meeting soon.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Welp, 20 minutes to pull something out. Let's see who on the team wants it. Can't say they haven't had chances, with 5pp chances.

 

[SocialismFTW]

This has really become worst than I could of imagined. Kings are just not showing any poise not to say any desire to play. Is it fatigue, mental breakdown, or something bad going on in this team's drssing room. Major breakdown after such a great start.

If there is no comeback in this third period, important changes will have to happen very soon, e.g. Having somebody called up and a couple brought down.

This is bad bad bad and what is the worst nobody seems to grasp the seriousness of the matter on thos team.

The year they won the cup wasn't it the exact same situation going on right now?? Kind of where they looked good at the beginning, did poor in the mid season, then came strong late and dominated the playoffs?? I wouldn't be too worried just yet, the majority of the pieces you have, you know can and have gone all the way. Bad luck rest of this game and good luck rest of this season, I always liked your fan base seeing as you are one of three fan bases that knows the Blues pain. Well you knew it.

 

[kingsfan28]

Yeah, it's Barry. Enough said.

Exactly, consider the source.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I sense a players only meeting soon.

I hope so.

And if we're not going to win, I would rather lose 3-0 than 3-2.

 

[Winger23]

On another note I know some are hurt but I just don't see this blues team, like the ducks, getting past the second round again.

 

[Little Psycho]

Just a tough stretch right now. We've lost 5 games straight where the opponent has not outplayed us and we've had the puck 70% of the time.

I agree, but the Kings are in the fricken Pacific. Not easy climbing back into the standings

*waiting patiently for other teams to go into slumps...any day Anaheim*

Look at the bright side guys, KISS will be performing at the Stadium Series!

A coach was fired in the middle of all that

 

[kingsfan28]

For the team with the best faceoffs, the last two or even three games we've lost more than we;ve won. Not a good sign.

 

[kingsholygrail]

[Scottkmlps]

Amen.

No, no, no. The team sucks, Sutter is an idiot, Richards is drunk, Greene is a moron, blah, blah, blah.
Funny how 5 games ago the Kings could do no wrong around here. Hit a rough patch and they suck worse than the Oilers. Getting old pretty fast.

I haven't fact checked it but that feels right.

Like I said, when it rains, it pours.

If the Kings don't turn things around, KISS might be the highlight of that day....

So your saying what we are saying...we need to trade for another carter and either dump sutter or have him recover from whatever mental illness he is going through....

 

[kingsfan28]

Jim nicely danced around Sutter pulling Jones. Not too hard to see he felt it was the wrong move. The 3rd goal is all on Sutter as far as I'm concerned.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Well, the boldfaced are true regardless Sutter is acting...questionable. Not dumb, but I'm confused.

But yeah, overreactions to the normal ebbs and flows to a season. Sure, losing streak sucks, especially in our division, but I'd rather be doing this now than towards the end of the season. At least give us time to figure out what's wrong and correct it.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

6 goals in the past 5 games. You aren't going to win many games scoring at that pace.

 

[Scottkmlps]

I agree, but the Kings are in the fricken Pacific. Not easy climbing back into the standings

*waiting patiently for other teams to go into slumps...any day Anaheim*

And they will. The Sharks went into a slump after their hot start, the Kings are hitting their's now, and the Ducks will hit one as well.

A 5 game losing streak isn't insignificant. This isn't like when the Kings would lose one or two and everyone would just jump off a bridge.

And they're losing these games against competitive teams now, more so than when they "couldn't get it up" for Calgary and such.

And hey look... The Kings go right into the box 30 seconds into the period.
