I hope I am proven wrong guys, but it just seems like a throw away season. The Kings are a great team, but it's tough to ask this team and staff to overcome all the negatives that have happened since A-Mart scored in OT to win the Stanley Cup.

- The Loss of Mitchell has been more massive than anyone could have possibly imagined, especially on the PK. Add in losing Voynov after a handful of games and that crippled the Kings season. Matt Greene looks like he is on the last legs of his NHL career, he just can't keep up.

- The average play of Justin Williams. He was the playoff MVP last year and the Kings needed every bit of him. He hasn't had a poor year but they need more. Brown can be throw into this group, the Kings need more from these guys.

- The continued collapse of Mike Richards and the restrictions his awful contract puts on DL when it comes to improving. The Kings really could have used him getting back to atleast a third line level but he is completely done, I wouldn't be shocked if he is out of hockey in a couple of years, by choice or not. I can't think of a player in Kings history who fell so far so fast without a catastrophic injury.

- Kopitar and Carter struggling to consistently play at an elite level. Carter was hot early but slowed down, Kopitar got off to a dreadful start, got really hot and is now kind of in between.

- The simultaneous injuries to Pearson and Toffoli. This may have been the final dagger. The Kings just didn't have the horses to handle these injuries.

I think you are being kind listing Williams and Brown's play this year as average

Sutter's idea of sending the team a message is to put Kyle Clifford and Jordan Nolan on the 6 on 4 lmaoooo I'm in tears

If Sutter's trying to send a message there by doing that then it's a really stupid decision on his part. Especially when he simultaneously pulled the goalie. Sometimes I think he's a really good coach that sometimes makes really stupid decisions.
 
I wish KK11 was still here so we could talk about how we need to blow the entire team up.
 
My favorite part of this game? The multiple times the Sharks missed the empty net.

ETA: wait, what? Automatic goal?
