I'm sure there's plenty of people who didn't think L.A. would do well this year, but there's no way they should be this bad.

Just totally lifeless.

I hate to admit it but Fantenberg has been good. For his role, of course. Nothing wild.

Seriously, what the **** is the matter with Kopitar? He's hardly moving, nevermind the fumbleitis

His play is one of the biggest problems this season. Way to follow up his best performance last season with his worst this season. His play has simply been putrid.

And how Dear God, here comes more Luc Robitaille spiel about winning the Stanley Cup. Your f***ing garbage team isn't even going to come close to sniffing the playoffs for the third time in five years. This team needs to be annihilated.
 
It's pretty clear this team isn't a cup contender. It begs the question, what are they playing for? What's the end game here? All that is left of the competitive remnants of 2014 are dead. This year should be clear, the Kings are now sellers.
 
This game is as disjointed as I've seen them in awhile. And that's saying something. Nothing about this game is good. This team has no identity right now and its as clear as day that this team has no idea what to do anymore.
 
If I'm going to go full silver-lining homer, I'm going to say "The kind of run it would take to make the playoffs at this point would scare the shit out of any opponent worse than 2012."

Instead I'm going to say blow it all up and let the Ontario Reign play here all year and let manchester play in ontario so we can get a number of first round picks in a good draft.

Guys like Carter and Brown, maybe Muzzin were previously untradeable but they're showing well, will have some value.

I'm only disappointed that the signs of life they showed the other night were just a last gasp sputter, no one on this roster can be assed to finish a check, never mind facewash anyone. Guys just skating into Campbell fearlessly, what shit. Call up MacDermid and Imama, at least the youngsters will be protected on our way to #1.
 
That black and white segment was amazing considering how they actually look worse now then with Stevens (not blaming the coach)

This coaching change was the final move they could make before having to admit that they're no longer contenders.

If they're still playing like crap a week or two from now management can't deny reality.

Worst game ever by Kopitar...looks like he is 45 years old. Somethings more than amiss. He has to be injured.

Florida won and Kings firmly #31.

Start dealing players tonight...and let Sturm take over the offense when he arrives Monday.

I look forward to seeing the team next year, with Vilardi, JAD and Kupari...possibly Clague and Brickley...and get Strand ready...oh, and HUGHES!!
 
It was pretty hilarious that the Black and White segment aired after one of the worst periods of Kings hockey in recent memory.

Probably not what the marketing department had in mind when they put the clip together.

Agreed. Squeeze some value out of our veterans that still have it and retool at the very least. Put youth out there to gain experience and try to find young talent that will be ready to play soon. It's the only way. If that shows no results, then sell the big 3 and look to new beginnings...

I liked the way Kopitar said something like we "weren't" performing, not we aren't

big trades need to be done. We're losing all the trades, they're all laughing at us. SAD!
 
I miss the days when Allison and deadmarsh would lose their shit and pound people. For some reasons stars are bunch of soft bitches.
