GDT: Welcome to the Black Parade: WCQF game 3, (1)Vegas Golden Knights vs (WC1)LA Kings @7:30

[Dopee]

Can we talk about the Kings total lack of offense?

 

[Bandit]

Who is this "Dopee" you speak of?

You.

 

[KINGS17]

If they don't make the playoffs next season or get swept in the first round you can bet he will be gone.

If Doughty doesn't sign over this summer, I wouldn't screw around just trade him.

You.

Have to. Trade value goes down every day he gets closer to July 1, 2019.

 

[bouncesonly]

who do you see beating vegas? nashville?

vegas is playing on another level that I have not seen in a long time. they play such swarming defense, they are all over the puck carrier instantly - it's a small (big?) victory when the Kings can just reach the redline. as jimmy would say, they are taking up the "time and space."

this is ugly.

Vegas can do that cause Kings have nothing in the offensive zone. No drive to the net. All shots straight at MAF. So why not play risky cause what are the Kings gonna do, score?

Lmao the bandwagon is legit. Let's see if they can name all 23 on the roster

They're mostly spurned Ducks fans.

Man Quick had a good 1st round eh.

 

[KingsFan7824]

The reality is all this team has done is shift around fringe players the last several years, some major pieces need to be moved otherwise it's more missing the playoffs or early exits with no light at the end of the tunnel.

There's not necessarily a light if they make major moves. They could easily get lost in the wilderness for a decade no matter what they choose to do with the roster. Building a winner isn't a thing every team does all the time.

 

[kingsholygrail]

They definitely need to tank at some point and get some elite young talent.

 

[Reclamation Project]

They're mostly spurned Ducks fans.

Rather be on the VGK bandwagon than ever support that f***ing clown show in Anaheim.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Can't believe they have 3 goals on a defense led by Brayden McNabb.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Just remember... The Blues went to the Stanley Cup Final in their first two years as a team.

 

[Dopee]

LA crowd vs Vegas crowd was pretty pathetic. For LA, that is.

 

[KINGS17]

Look guys, the reality is this team is not a contender, not even close. If you want to keep making the playoffs and lose in the first or second round every year like the Kings did in the late 90's and early 00's while cheering on players that were a part of the glory years that is fine, I respect and understand that. But if we want to win championships again in the Doughty, Kopitar era you need to move on from a lot of players you may enjoy cheering for.

I can respect it, I don't understand it.

 

[kingsfan28]

All it took was 21 second to lose the game. What a wasted effort, especially for what a strong 3rd period team this is.

 

[SlimCharles]

Dopee you’re a f**king loser bro.

 

[Herby]

I have said it enough times around here, but it's time to thank everyone involved in the 2011-12 through 2013-14 run and move on.

Truer words have never been spoken on this board.

No doubt, but you have to do something. This is four years in a row, including getting the coach and GM fired, that's more than enough. It's LONG past time to stop ignoring the wings

 

[Dopee]

LA crowd had 0 energy vs Vegas crowd which may have had an effect.

Oh, well I guess that settles it then...

 

[DryIslandBartender]

I never thought Robitaille should have been placed in his current position. Luc is a good time guy. I don't particularly like Rob Blake, but I am willing to give him a chance.

Now can we trade Carter, Muzzin, Martinez, etc. to get younger and better eventually? I have said it enough times around here, but it's time to thank everyone involved in the 2011-12 through 2013-14 run and move on. It's fine to hang onto selected leaders if management believes they will be a good influence on the youth they must bring in, but the rest gotta go to get the rebuild started.

Management lacks vision and this team still has an identity crisis. It’s more obvious when the core (save quick) isn’t playing up to par. Dustin Brown has been nonexistent in this series, he used to be an animal in our cup runs. He’s just a shell of what he was, and his value will never be higher than it is now.
