Dear Dean, out with the old in with the new.

Do not re- sign Greene or Mitchell.
Trade block - Williams, Voynov, and Clifford

Need - a young #2 Dman, a # shutdown # 4 and this thing called a left winger

 

[BigBrown]

Matt Greene on ice for all three SJ goals? Love ya Matt but call up Campbell.

 

[Reclamation Project]

So many question marks going into the summer. Dean needs to get to work.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

The sharks defense has been very good, they keep up with our forwards. It's really hard to be a King's forward right now.

 

[kingsfan28]

Tell me why the pass by Marleau wasn't icing the place before? Missed everybody and it got waved off.

 

[ru4reals]

Not gonna win when freakin third and fourth line guys are beating you. Richards, Brown, Gaborik, Williams, no shows again.

 

[kovacro]

Our team has been mentally beaten by a tough fourth line. To bad its too late to bring Andy A to center Clifford and Nolan and let them bang

Problem is Clifford an Nolan don't bang. They are soft.

The Kings are gifting San Jose goals with Greene on the ice.

 

[Muzzfan]

**** the Sharks. That's how you play defense. Someone needs to run Niemi this game.

"We aren't going to beat San Jose scoring 4 goals." - Sutter, yesterday.

Guess I can head to bed.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Okay this **** from Sutter is starting to piss me off. Greene has been a disaster this period and now this constant line shifting isn't helping at all. But let's still not go back to the lines that were working.

 

[damacles1156]

Well safe too say Greene won't be in for game three.

 

[Little Psycho]

Dean needs to fix the team in the offseason. Cap space is gonna be a problem but this team needs a facelift.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This game is far from over, but holy crap did the Kings just let up in the 2nd period. Haven't had a single good shot on Niemi the entire 2nd. They just sat back and allowed the Sharks' 4th line to walk all over them. A disgraceful effort, much like the first 40 minutes in Game 1. This type of performance disgusts me, but as long time Kings fans, most of us are used to this type of play from the team. It's in their rich history.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

This has deteriorated fast. I don't blame Quick at all. He has received almost no support the past 2 games.

 

[Live in the Now]

The biggest problem is that the Sharks are playing like we did in 2012. Not just team speed, but quickness of mind. They're getting the puck and moving it without taking time to think.

 

[kingsfansince1967]

All these line juggling around isn't helping at all.

 

[funky]

Clifford has been useless for years but Nolan's suspension seemed to neuter him. I think there is more to extract from Nolan and think we should not give up on him yet.

 

[Herby]

I think this is going to be a valuable learning lesson for Dean. He can't just assume that everyone is going to maintain their prior levels from one year to the next as they get older. To stay on top teams have to evolve, all the time. Some of his marriages and loyalties to certain players are going to be put to an end two months from now.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

This is not the 2012 Kings, no one is "flipping switches" or "saving it for the playoffs" . The 2012 Matt Greene, Willie Mitchell, Justin Williams and Mike Richards are gone and never coming back, probably the same with Brown. It's time to move on. The more management and fans keep clinging to 2012 the harder it's going to be to have another playoff run like 2012.

"We aren't going to beat San Jose scoring 4 goals." - Sutter, yesterday.

You have too admit, Sutter is talking about the lack of Defense the Team is showing.

And he is right. it's burying the Kings.

 

[kingsfansince1967]

The biggest problem is that the Sharks are playing like we did in 2012. Not just team speed, but quickness of mind. They're getting the puck and moving it without taking time to think.

And also forechecking with LAK is not doing here.

 

[FPotvin39]

Wonderful

 

[ibleedkings]

Brown is an embarrassment

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

And there's a momentum turning shift by Dustin Brown, in favor of the Sharks. Good going captain.

 

[Muzzfan]

Obvious penalty Brown. They are frustrated.
