Probably gonna get shutout against the Rangers. They're overdue for a shutout. If any of you are at the game on Sunday be sure to boo the living hell out of them
 
Turns out Sutter was not the only problem.

I was naive enough to think this team would respond to the coaching change, turns out halfway through the season nothing has really changed.

At this point I’m not even thinking playoffs, there needs to be some major changes in the organization
 
The culture on this team sucks and has sucked for years. Everyone got their rings and their contracts and for the most part have been nothing but shells since.

The best teams reinvent themselves and change around their rosters.

Guys like Lewis, Martinez, Clifford should NEVER play this long for one team and on most other teams they funnel through role players to prevent exactly what has happened to this team. Before I am attacked for “blaming them for everything” it is just one of many glaring issues with how this team has been run and is still being run.
 
Careful with the negative talk guys. A thin skinned poster may get their feelings hurt and start whining about your negativity. No real talk in here. Let’s just focus on something that occurred four years ago, back when they won their last playoff series.

What's the use of playing Amadio if he only plays 10 shifts. He's not being put in a position to succeed after his hard work to get into the NHL. He's a scorer not a grinder.

Those that can't handle it need to take a break from HF. The team is in full suck mode and it's not just 1 or 2 guys. You can't be living in the past, what they did years ago may not be able to be repeated today, the game is changing constantly and the players are aging. It's not negative talk, it's realistic. There's not enough time to wait for the team to play better when everyone else in the division is playing their best. They need to get it rolling now.

It’s kind of like LGK with their groupthink. I believe the specific whiner we have in mind hails from there as well. Probably sits in section 304 with the rest of the insufferable mouth breathers.

The team is absolutely in full suck mode, as you put it, but full suck mode still isn't as bad as it it was good when they were in full kick ass mode. Need a couple more losses for that. Can they do it? Sure, but what's the point of letting it dominate everything you say and do though? Besides, the pissing and moaning about how much this franchise sucks from top to bottom, GM to waterboy doesn't stop even when the team is doing well.

It's one thing to have expectations, it's quite another to say "Everything and everyone is f***ing garbage" day in day out. The ones that can't see that are the ones that should take a break and step back, for their own health and sanity.

Swing and a miss, but don't let that stop you. Pretty hilarious considering how long I've been here.

You don't know where I've been Lou...

Sports are funny. Like we are so upset that people on a team can’t put a puck in a net. Like, WHAT.

So weird. When you stop thinking about it for awhile you realize how ridiculous you sound. But then the next game is on and it starts all over again. Sorry. I’m having a moment.

LOL right?

"If I was out there I would totally do so much better which is why I'm sitting behind a keyboard eating cheesy poofs and drinking diet coke. Armchair allstar, so easy, and I'm going to get SO mad about it!!!"
 
Seems to me that the rest of the league learned to adapt and how to play the Kings, specifically those within the division. Yet the Kings are still the same team they have been for however many years.

Although we saw changes made to the personnel off the ice, the ongoing struggles of this team is very telling in what the problem is. This team has no depth at center, on the wings, on the blueline, in net. They have to constantly depend on the same three players, and that over reliance on Kopitar, Doughty and Quick to carry this team through 82-games isn’t going to work.

It didn’t work in 2015, 2016, 2017, and it sure as hell isn’t going to work in 2018. Four consecutive years of failure. And it’s the same problems every year. Lack of offense, a horrendous PP, and a lack of depth throughout the lineup. Put that all together, and you have yourself an average-to-below average squad.

Do you feel better now? They have had a lousy record 2 years counting against division opponents, if you can't beat your damn rivals who gives a f*** when they are on a hot streak against eastern teams. The western teams have dissected the Kings team so it doesn't take much for them to close the door in their faces.

There's always gonna be a player or two to complain about even when they are playing well, I guarantee you we aren't the only franchise in the league that does it.
