Kings Video: Luc Robitaille Press Conference

[Ziggy Stardust]

Link to the livestream of Luc Robitaille’s press conference, which is scheduled for 2:00pm PST.

Prediction of what he will say. A bunch of nonsense and empty words.

“I don’t know”

“That’s up to the new GM”

“Tough series, Edmonton is a good team”

“Didn’t want to see Blakey go, tough day”

“We’ve got good quality candidates in mind”

“We’re working through the process”

“I have not talked to Hiller yet”

“I don’t know”

Just a bunch of nothing.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Going to be hilarious when someone asks him an actual hockey question and his brain short circuits.

 

[BigKing]

Integrity hahaha

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Sounds like everyone else on staff is saying from what Luc said. "Everybody is under contract."

 

[King'sPawn]

Not going to close any doors about whether or not he's looking for a first-time NHL GM.

 

[King'sPawn]

Keeps insisting "we were there" in context of winning a Stanley Cup. Ugh.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

"We're going to look to what we can add to win the Stanley Cup."

 

[BaileyFan]

2024 Luc: We were right there
2025 Luc: We’re there

That’s progress I guess?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Luc praising Bergevin. Uh oh.

 

[fivehole32]

Just say no to the Burgervan.

 

[King'sPawn]

Robitaille asked about how he initial said "Hiller et al are under contract," insinuating they're staying. But then said it's up to the GM. Someone from the press called him on that. He said "The GM has to be free to make decisions."

So it sounds like he'd be willing to leave it up to the GM. But I doubt he'd hire someone who will clean house.

 

[Sam]

Still delusional. Lombardi was right keeping him away from hockey decisions.

Sad. He was one of my favorite players. Now I see his name and the first word that comes to mind is dumbass.

It’s Bergevin.

 

[King'sPawn]

"We have a superstar player in his prime named Adrian Kempe."

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

So I guess they'll be opening up their pocketbooks for Mitch Marner.

 

[King'sPawn]

Regarding PLD "You learn from your mistakes."

 

[Telos]

It drives me nuts that AEG is leaving him in there. Get Luc out of there... I love him, but get him the hell out of there. He has no f***ing clue what he is doing.

 

[Shellz]

Is that guy crying

 

[King'sPawn]

lol when called out about saying "we were right there" and then "we were there".

"Did I say that today?"

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Finally someone called him out about the Kings being "right there."

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Quoting DL lol

 

[Telos]

Not the "right there" jokes...

 

[Sol]

Any thoughts on the post Kopitar world “no” lmfaoooo

 

[King'sPawn]

"Any conversations with Kopitar about him potentially retiring after next season or a post-Kopitar world?"
"No."
