After coming back from 0-3, you guys have absolutely no faith ? Heck, this game is not even over let alone the series.

That was an effort issue. This is a skill, speed, and talent issue. The Kings have held a forecheck in 40 minutes of this series, in a lost cause game where the Kings scored no goals.

This team can't move the puck, can't defend when 3 of the 6 defensemen are on the ice, and haven't gotten any pressure at all. They don't hit, can't score, and can't stop the Ducks from continuing to push forward. This thing is D-O-N-E.
 
I wouldn't shed a tear if any or all of Greene Richards Clifford nolan Lewis brown king are gone ever the summer. Err wait yes I would, tears of happiness.
 
Sad to see how far Matt Greene has fallen, and Shultz has tried admirably as well but is miscast with Voynov. If this series isn't an example of our necessity to be more mobile, I don't know what is

And I agree that for a big team we are playing soft.

I don't mind losing as much as some but I do mind the way we are doing it. We are our own worst enemies. Need a spark plug like andreoff or someone else hungry next year. I'm frustrated with how...not gonna say heartless...but utterly emotionless/drained these guys look. Their expressions say it l. Just numb.
 
Regher and Mitchell has really been missed! Cannot win any series with the likes of Voynov, Muffins, Shultz, etc killin penalties!

No, I was hoping for the team to win that cup to at least show 75% effort. We've played nothing like that cup team, in years.

No cup winning team has played like our cup winning team in years before and after. :laugh: If you expect to see a team like that every playoffs, good luck cause you won't see it again. Champions, WCF, and going to G6 at home in our own barn in the WCSF. If that's mediocre, you need to lower your standards.
 
They keep building a stable of big defensemen in the system: Forbort, Gravel, McNabb,
which is all good and fine, but they must start drafting highly skilled defensemen that can skate and move the puck. Hopefully, Ebert keeps excelling and is one of those...and the #1 need is now to get a #2 center. Thought with Kopitar and Richards, that was a lock for several years.
Oh well. Not sure if Vey can be that guy. Maybe put Carter there for good.

Exactly, that's what I hate. It's really throwing me off the lack of effort.

Kings need to get rid of many players outside of the core. The core is good. But everyone around it has lost it. Richards, Greene, Lewis, Clifford, RR, Mitchell always injured. Kings need a huge retooling this off-season.
 
I'm with Tonellisghost. Sack this ****ing coach.

When losing, better make sure you're not gonna lose easily. This sissy contest has nothing to do with competition. There is a reason why the Ducks, lead by Selanne and Koivu and a bunch of sissies really, are physically beating us up. 23 (starting 1990) years of nothing is worth more than a few games of mierda like this.

Adios, Los Angelitos. Las P-tas son sus Reyes.

I say put in Brayden McNabb for Greene in game 6. Possibly put in Andreoff as well.

I really don't believe Greene will be an NHL regular next season, he may catch on somewhere but I think that team will figure out what we have, that he just doesn't have the footspeed to be an NHL defenseman.

It's amazing to see the total collapse of those key guys from 2012. Greene from an elite third pairing defender to AHL caliber, Brown from a Conn Smythe contender to whatever he is, Richards from a key 2nd line center to just a bad player, period.

Depressing.

Then people should stop bringing up the Cup, because that play is long gone. And the WCF was lucky. Outplayed every series, and the teams we played weren't good, got to the very first good team, and we got shafted. Maybe you didn't see last year's playoffs. Effort wasn't there.
