And that top line has scored how many goals in the past 5 games? I'll be waiting for your excuses off the air.

They have the last 3 goals the team has scored, and they haven't been giving up nearly as much as say, the god awful 2nd line who continues to fish pucks out of their own goal.

Kopitar and Carter are the least of the Kings problems. The problem with this team is they have terrible and declining players in secondary scoring roles and a bottom six that has been an offensive black hole for years.

And yes it is a huge long term problem, the Kings can't address the needs of the team such as an overhaul of the 2nd line because they have horrific long term big money contracts to players who look like they are about to cruise down Ryan Smyth Blvd.

Do you disagree that the Kings have two top six forwards?

Can you think of a player on our roster that looks better in the position? That's all I'm saying. Keep him there ride it out and see how it goes. He's smart, creative, and looks to move pretty well with better players. He looks completely flat-footed playing with plugs.

Yes, I disagree. Brown and Williams are top 6 forwards that haven't been playing like it. In fact, up until their current struggles, Brown was the only one really struggling this season. Right through December, even Richards had good production. It's anyone's guess what the root of this is but see my post earlier, until January, this team won a cup with this personnel. Through last season and up until December this season, scoring wasn't a problem. You keep harping on Richards and the second line giving up goals. The kings are the top defensive team in the league. That is like pointing out a flaw on Jessica Alba's body (went to high school with her btw).


Has anyone else noticed how putrid Voynov has been? People are conveniently ignoring his bad play and turnovers. I'm not pointing that out because of goals against. He used to be a big part of the kings offense with his ability to skate the puck and breakout passes. That has been nonexistent for some time. Something worth paying attention while you aren't vilifying muzzzzzzin or Regher.
 
Wow seeing it from up top lol... I wonder what Lane Muzzin saw open with two Flyers standing in the lane lol. Not one but two Flyers and he passes haha
 
It's a shame because Muzzin had such a promising start to the season, it looked like he had turned a corner. Then after 30 games or something his game took a nosedive... it probably coincided with that LA Kings Insider article about how much more comfortable he is playing this season, he's been god awful ever since.
