Speculation: How long can this go on?

[The Butcher]

They have to miss the playoffs for anything to happen and sadly, that may take a few more seasons unless Calgary/Vancouver/Anaheim can push the Kings off the cliff next year.

The most likely scenario I see is Bergivin taking over, Hiller stays as coach, and the exact same thing happens next year and possibly the year after.

Warnings on shampoo bottles were designed for people like the mayor.

-veniza goalie didn't play like one in the playoffs.
-team was tire fire in their own zone in 3rd periods of game 3 and 4.
-clarke and young players did not step up. they showed up in the last game when there was the least pressure. they did however get experience.
- over reliant on AK line and DD, when they were getting their shit pushed in night in and night out.

I’ve always known he’s a complete moron but I at least thought he watched the games.

IMO there are a lot of parallels between LA and TB...will be interesting to see what direction each franchise goes and how much success they have in the next couple of years.

 

[shuchukfan]

And they also had Hiller.

Hoven must have already had his pre-production meeting with Robitaille and Blake and they have decided they are going to play the “it doesn’t make any sense” and “flukey” card.

Nope kings are much younger thank god. Also all their aging vets are signed long term with nmcs

1. Kuemper sure wasn't Vezina quality in the series and the defense sure didn't help.

2. Guess who had the 2nd best PP and guess who had the worst PK?

3. Only matters if your team shows ready to play for home games. The Kings did not for game 5.

4. Did they team try to win or did they just try not to lose?

5. Again, guess who had the best and which team had the worst defense?

6. Except Hiller benched them. All of them. Until game 6

7. I don't even know what this is trying to say.

8. Yep. They were the better team, and adjusted when needed.

It does make sense Hoven. You just can't see it from that deep in the echo chamber.

The comedic timing of this is pretty hilarious.

Yeah, I bet it was exciting for an Oilers fans, when you get to capitalize on a f***in' idiot of a coach just machine gunning his own dick every third period.

He definitely made some questionable calls
