vs. a historically bad PK, 5th most goals given up at this point.

Completely lifeless lackadaisical bull**** we've seen all season.

Knew that Rangers win was the worst possible thing that could happen. I let myself slip out of doom and gloom for a second and believe they'd be able to rally around it. nope. 3 PPs to 0 and getting doubled up in shots. Disgusting.





Disagree. Textbook interference. Folin knew he was losing that race, went for the player instead, player who never had the puck.


But this is the most exciting hockey team in the entire league. The Kings are so much fun to watch!

Blake must do SOMETHING....besides shuffle AHL players back and forth from the AHL to NHL to AHL.
Why is Pearson dressing? Bring up Luff and give him a shot...wish Rempal was a little bigger.
Has skills, but needs a year of AHL and add some bulk.

I didn't say the coach tells his team to turn the puck over. But when everyone is doing it, it's lack of preparation and communication.

This team is playing very poorly from top to bottom.

They even went through stretches in the good days with Sutter when the whole team couldn't do anything right. Couldn't make simple passes. They were never an overly talented team. It was all "puck possession" by throwing it at the net. If they weren't playing that system perfectly, they always looked like crap. They just had enough defensively to keep games 2-1 on those nights.

We used to say the Kings broke various teams. Well Vegas broke these guys. Going into the playoffs, the Kings may not have been great, but they had something to their game. They've had nothing since Game 1 last year. Not that they haven't been owned by good division teams for years now.

These are highly paid, supposedly professional adults. If they can't get themselves prepared to play a stupid hockey game, and communicate on the ice the way they have been since they were all 7 years old or whatever, blaming the coach is letting them off too easy. They can get their crap together themselves. They're not children. They don't have to wait.

AHL players are not going to solve this roster's problems. Let the Kids stay in the AHL and not ruin their development track.

The roster actually started to have problems down the stretch last season, not just game 1 vs Vegas. Down the stretch the middle six went production black hole and the defense started to creep into bad habits.

Are you saying Stevens is doing a good job and the entire team failing to execute is the player's fault?

226 days since Tanner Pearson scored a goal.

Impressive.

He is in serious need of a slump buster.
