Also blake's done some good but since it's been some time it's kind of tough to remember he's had some egregious missteps...sure they'd be forgivable if the team was in a better spot but in retrospect the whole Kovalchuk saga was a harbinger of things to come
let's go out and get a floaty superstore scorer to help our PP and office. Kind of a no-brainer, sure. Wait, this guy isn'ta good checker? Surprised pikachu. Now we are going to put him on the 4th line and the front of the net on PP2. Run him out of town, rinse, repeat with several other players, including Kaliyev.
Then covering up the whole Petersen saga and dumping assets and clearing cap space for...PLD.
Is anyone watching the kids eating the crayons?

Kings can't score
The Kings media is an absolute joke, that's what happens when half of them are on the teams payroll.

This one is absolute horse shit and she should lose her on-air job immediately.
The first one seemed like a personal frustrated reaction, which is unprofessional but at least understandable - but this one is a direct insult to the people that support this team and are sick and tired of this management groups ineptitude.
We don't want or need hugs. We see the problems they keep creating for themselves and want change.
The players don't cook, they are the ingredients.
Management are the cooks, and their recipe tastes like stale shit.

Its a goddam frat house, not an organization. They won't call a spade a spade, then decide to reprimand fans who are demanding answers.
Unbelievable. They are definitely feeling the pressure.

Between Fox’s antics on air last night, Cohen’s performance on Kings Talk, and Carrlyn’s state propaganda effort on Twitter, there does seem to be some internal tension boiling over with the team employees.
In you opinion , What are the odds that LA kings upgrades in net via trade despite the cap situation ?

Drew Doughty’s comments, bitching, and moaning is half the reason we’re in this mess.

Upgrading Talbot? No chance. Upgrading Rittich? Meh, slight chance I guess, but I don't think there's any desire unless he truly sucks. I don't think there's any trade to be had for us

I am sure Kaliyev and a first will be dangled to the first starter whose team is willing to retain.
Jon rosen overheard this on the team plane.
If somebody reported this stuff today, the reporter would wind up in siberia

Lol a group of twitter randos put up a couple of mildly critical posts and the team media apparatus all of a sudden needs a fainting bed. Imagine if these wussies worked in a big hockey market

Ill always remember JQ, JW, Richards, Carter, Stoll, Greene etc as winners/ heroes.. 10 years of DD and the team living off the past - I dont think of him the same... he smells a bit now... like my hockey bag

I don't blame Doughty for being upset, he is an unbelievable competitor and not a company man. He wants to play important games, but he didn't see the clear road map ahead of him when he signed his extension.

Every single one of them would be being raked right now. Every single one
Like you said the really shitty thing is these are random, pretty tame, non-targeted posts on twitter. However you feel about Russell, he didn't target ANYONE, he didn't say anything acidic, it was literally a factual observation about ice time. Was there an agenda? Absolutely. Bless him for saying anything. I bet anything they turf any access he had, though (not sure if he had any sort of media credential honestly).
This isn't some jerk on twitter going "hey carrlyn you suck ass" or even "god damn todd sucks", even those AT people should just go unresponded to, but those would make more sense. But attacking fans covering the team that aren't employed directly by the team is a REALLY shitty look given how state-controlled they like their media. Jim Fox does do one thing excellently and that's interact well with others on social media even those who angrily disagree with him--they could all take a page from that book (his on-air shenanigans last night nonwithstanding, gross).
Honestly, f*** them. I was mad about the hockey on-ice product, and peeved about the off-ice product, but that's crossing the line from merely quietly arrogant to outwardly unprofessional for a major organization, and clearly retaliatory in anger/frustration with their own situations. So much for being pros. I hope they ALL get canned.
Blake’s next press conference:
“We agree with Drew. He’s right to point that out. He’s right to say ‘HA’.”
“We agree with Drew. He’s right to point that out. He’s right to say ‘HA’.”

Reading the Maple Leaf PGT is making me feel a little bit better. Not much, but a little.

The guy who tweeted that has a fb page where it’s an echo chamber of I told you so geniuses and PLD and co whine fest. Like I get it but it comes off as them being super unknowledgeable about hockey in general. Having said that, super bad look with Drew responding. What Kings management and the media surrounding the team needs to realize is this. We’re passionate, we’ve been through the few good days and the many long nights with this franchise. We’ve earned the right to critique and criticize this team and the direction they’re headed.
I’m actually confident they’ll play their way out of this and be really good again, with or without Todd. I’d prefer the latter because I like playoff wins.They'll win one of the next two and be like 'see told you ;;;;;;;;;'

The Kings are going full blown politics here. Blaming the voters for losing instead of propping up a candidate that doesn’t churn your stomach.
