GDT: Los Angeles Kings at Washington Capitals - February 3, 2015 - 4:00 p.m. (PST)

I actually think the Kings will beat the Panthers, it will be a full 60 minute effort.

The Kings are simply inconsistent. So they are due for a WTH was that game.

They're consistent in playing like crap.

It's almost got to the point before Murray was fired and it was, "Oh, there's a Kings game on tonight? I'll tune in if I have time.".

That has been lingering in the back of my mind for some time now.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Well that was embarrassing. Fun stuff. DL has his work cut out for him but I'm excited to see what sort of makeover this team gets. It's clear the 2012-2014 era cup team is just out of magic beans. And there's no shame in that. DL has overcome two MAJOR challenges so excited to see what comes next even of the rest of this season is full of fork-in-eye games like this.

At least it's early. Dinner time. Catch you guys later

When was the last back to back wins for the Kings, October?

I honestly can't remember. Other than the 6 game win streak, what was our second longest streak. It may have been 3.

 

[MynameisKing]

You know who was the one biggest contributor to our Cup runs in 12 & 14? Lombardi! Actually, the Kings don't win without Lombardi's moves. It's proven in the last 2 cup runs.

 

[DocWest]

Can somebody shop a Kings logo on this?

 

[Vamos Rafa]

So much for the Blackhawks win "waking up the sleeping giant."

 

[kingsfansince1967]

Patrick Brisebois on the post-game on TVA Sports buying in to the "fatigue thesis" (LAK team having played the most games, now they are tired blablabla) and all three commentators concluding that LAK will not make the playoffs.

So much for the Blackhawks win "waking up the giant."

It scared the rest of the league enough to make a jinx thread on the main board :/

 

[ElKingsFan92]

So much for the Blackhawks win "waking up the sleeping giant."

I knew that win wasn't going to mean **** based on how we had been playing previously.

Might have to start making moves to secure a winning team for the future. Many vets on the roster are getting worse and on the downside of their careers and there are a few too many plugs on this roster.

Bringing back the same group for four consecutive years may have been a hinderance in the sense that many guys have grown to be complacent.

I don't see the same drive, passion, intensity, hunger, desperation, perseverance, etc. These guys have been mailing in their performance in 2015.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

i hope we end up with a top 10 pick in the draft

who would the kings be eyeing? outside of the top 5 i'm kinda clueless...

True, but our defense was sound, not making any of the consistent errors we've seen all season. Remember "protect home plate", now its "where's home plate" followed by a goal.

 

[damacles1156]

Well not much to say really, outplayed.

On to Florida.

Herby's Green Jacket Award update:
Brown -10
Muzzin -9
Kopitar -7
King -7

And more than anything else, it was That 70s line carrying the team on their back...

 

[Little Psycho]

So much for the Blackhawks win "waking up the sleeping giant."

It was a good win, not a lot of positives this season.

 

[Scottkmlps]

I want to hear about a closed door players meeting after this **** show.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

I knew that win wasn't going to mean **** based on how we had been playing previously.

Yep. Wasn't there a St. Louis game this season which was supposed to mean that the Kings had turned the corner?

 

[Reclamation Project]

I want to hear about a closed door players meeting after this **** show.

Go the Wild route - one after every game.

 

[MynameisKing]

True, but our defense was sound, not making any of the consistent errors we've seen all season. Remember "protect home plate", now its "where's home plate" followed by a goal.

I remember "protecting home plate", too. But I think that was a TM thing. Sutter's was "Attack them before they attack you!". We are not doing that, either! Defense? Lombardi's move. I don't know what can be done, but he has to get someone he can play now!

 

[Kings Eat Fart]

Thomas Hickey, Derek Forbort and Colten Teubert. HERE WE COME!

Hope we can dig for Daigle

 

[kingsfan28]

By nights end, Minn and Dallas will have passed us.

 

[Chain]

The good news is that the moment I start losing hope is traditionally the moment this team turns it on.

Now would be a good time for that.

 

[damacles1156]

Dustin Brown with some honesty, "We are not going to win any hockey games, with no emotion on the ice".

 

[Scottkmlps]

Go the Wild route - one after every game.

At least it would show that the leadership gives two ****s about the way the team is playing.
It's embarrassing when looking at the road stats of the Kings top players. Jordan Nolan is the only King to score a goal in 6 periods. Jordan ****ing Nolan. That's brutal.
