GDT: Los Angeles Kings at Florida Panthers - February 5, 2015 - 4:30 p.m. (PST)

[Ziggy Stardust]

Let's look at the positives.

McBain played well. Gaborik scored on the PP... and that's it.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

The writing, it's on the wall for this team/season at this point. Huge road trip to try and turn the season around and we go 0-3 so far with three total goals scored. Jamie ******* McBain was far and away the best King on the ice tonight and that is flat out embarrassing. Sell or pure hockey trades only at this point

DD not much of an effort when the guy chipped the puck past him. Just kind of waved his foot at it and missed! Tired? I say yes! Lost his focus and didn't play the man. Although never should have reached that point. TT bailing out of a pass right on his stick from RR. I think he heard footsteps from no one there. And the Bjugstad assisted by JM. Please don't let me hear anyone talk about Quicks save percentage. Hockey is a game of mistakes!

This roster is beyond blaming Quick, everyone here knows Quick is not a problem.

Forwards/D with lots of veteran players doing nothing...THAT's a problem.

You guys gotta give the Kings the benefit of the doubt - it's still too early to write them off. I'm just as frustrated as some of you, but this is far from over.

That was the season, right there.

(...)

Agree. If there was one game we had to win but even win with grit, heart and in a dominant way, it was tonite. The Panthers are crippled and are not going to make the playoffs in a conference where chances are higher than the West.

LAK are pathetic. Yes Muezzin blew it, but it is a team loss. We look bad but I mean BAD when we are on the offense. No set plays. No hitting, no forechecking.

These guys are already in their heads on the golf courses in April.

Sad, sad, sad.

This was the last game I watch live this year. I will be checking on the game summaries, but my own curiosity will be how did this team find a new way to loose.

 

[King RAZZ]

So how long before we see someone throw a Kings jersey on the ice?

Can we start with one already hanging from the rafters...one with a single digit on it???

 

[TheSentinel]

This team is absolutely pathetic. Even I have a breaking point, and these last two games, that did it for me. I have to distance myself from the team or I will tear my hair out at some point.

****. And I was looking forward to attending more home games. Just don't know if I can stomach them anymore. This is just awful.

I literally just told my Duck fan GF something similar about the game she got me for Christmas.

 

[damacles1156]

Kopitar/Carter....WTH are you two guys doing on the road ?

Jamie McBain came into this game with more fire , more passion , more poise, than you two....

I am speechless.

 

[Chain]

That's all on Muzzin. Gave them life after that goal.

Yup. It really is. Pee wee mistake.

I hope Dean trades him. Trade some of these guys and breath some new life into the team with guys who aren't going to sit on their ass 3/4ths of the season and play Russian roulette thinking they can "flip the switch" anytime they want.

 

[MollerManor]

Not sure if I am more mad at the Kings sucking or on myself being dumb enough to bet on them turning things around tonight.

 

[DocWest]

Kopitar will have a lot of balls to ask for Kane/Toews money after this abortion of a season. I dare him to ask for it.

 

[bob77]

Yeah, agreed. Time to move on from Williams and Stoll. Regehr too. It would be nice if Forbort was good, eh? We could use someone like that right now.

Lombardi will also regret that Martinez contract.

Forbort has been playing well Manchester, and probably deserves his shot! He's in the top 10 in the AHL in plus minus, and sure, he does not put up many points, but he seems to handle AHL play rather easily. Not saying it would translate, but some things reach their time, and it's probably time soon!

No, it's over. Just accept it already. I finally did after last game. This team is out of gas, emotionally, physically, and mentally. They've played a **** ton of games over the last 3 + seasons plus playoffs. The body & mind can only take so much.

 

[kingsfan28]

7 points back of Van if they win.

And **** Patrick, there are no positives to a loss like this or any of the other losses to bad teams.
FLA
BUF
EDM
TOR
ARZ
CAL [{snapping their 8 game losing streak}

 

[TonySCV]

Pgt.

Brass, Ohhh I don't want to be in Lombardi's office when that contract talk goes down.
