Confirmed with Link: Todd Mclellan named head coach

[Ziggy Stardust]

Must be McLellan’s fault if the Sharks get bounced from the first round.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

i wonder if this means that Raffi Torres will get a multi year deal from Blake

would be cool if Thornton signed with LA this summer as well

 

[KingPuckChoo]

I don’t know why exactly, but I like this hire.

it tugs at your memory of knowing that McLellan has often done well during the season

but your mind stops there, which explains your likeness of the deal

But in fairness they were robbed.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Can't say that I'm not indifferent to it. Not because it's TM, but because this roster no longer has any benefit of the doubt. They're 0-5 at home in the playoffs since Jazz Hands, and just finished 30th. They could just as easily tune TM out before the first game. Can't even trust that they'll have that effort. Who the particular coach is right now doesn't matter. TM might be fighting uphill. Especially because I'm not sure how different the roster is going to be come Oct.

Have you seen DBs twitter pic? That says it all

Can't say that I have no.

 

[Bandit]

Funny since Mayor and DB have been 90% right the last two or so years.

Yeah, 90% right, give or take 80%.

Thank you wise one

Why does he need to look like he will hit you? Why so angry? Why so coy? Why so tough? Why so sweet?

His twitter backdrop image is a shot of him appearing on NHL Network, and it appears he took the pic from his phone, while his TV appearance was on. He must feel really important.

He also made some claims about a bunch Kings being traded that never happened, and Friedman had McLellan linked to the Kings for a long while.

He's also turned into the snarky reporter covering the Kings, taking over for Helen, Helan, Hellene Elliott. His "Dear Rob Blake comments" trying to be cute are just lame and pissy.

 

[deaderhead28]

Yeah, 90% right, give or take 80%.

Gotta link cause knowing Fridman he just throws out a bunch of names hoping something sticks.Context is everything and how its worded.
I dont see anyone giving Friedman the credit.

Again no credit to Friedman.

we are in 30th place out of 31 teams. I don't care who gets credit for news we would have heard anyway

Bingo.

This core group is notorious for going through spells and playing unmotivated hockey. Unless the core changes, I don’t expect anything to be any different.

That moment when you realize "Todd McLellan" and "Terry Murray" are both "TM"

I love Adam Deadmarsh just FYI.

 

[kingsfan28]

Bummer, I am really going to miss this guys pearls of wisdom.

" I;m gonna try a new approach in OT, roll 4 lines and save the top pair for the next overtime"

 

[deaderhead28]

I love Adam Deadmarsh just FYI.

I met him in Colorado around 2012 while he was doing a local Porsche dealership promotion.It was pouring down rain and no one showed up but me my wife my 2 year old and her gold crown Kings sweater.He was blown away that Kings fans showed up and wanted to take pictures and talk a lil hockey.

Again, that doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that Friedman had the two linked a long time ago. He said so a month ago, and was reporting before that as well.

Like I figured,his 31 is nothing but throwing crap at the wall.But I appreciate the link.

And Bernstein doesn’t do that? What happened to all the trades that were supposed to happen involving the Kings? And are you his biggest fan?

He seemed like a great guy, so sad how fast he deteriorated, that's a great story.
