    I don’t even trust Rob to navigate the trade deadline efficiently. The peak of his tenure was taking EDM to 7 games. And I’m not convinced the ownership gives two shits about hockey. This rebuild is going to last another decade.

    Why the heck didn’t they pull rittick out of net after like four? Why didn’t they put Talbot in

  3. Kings seem determined to play some playoff golf.

    Hot take: Kopi should be in the press box Thursday.

    And not just for tonight, his performance has been awful for a while. His AAV for the next couple years is looking pretty damn rough right now.

  5. ZiggyPalffyLA

    The Kings are 4-18 in their last 22 games in Buffalo. The Sabres have been a bad team for a large part of that stretch. What’s the reason we always struggle here?

  6. MajorPucks

    That new Coach Bump promise was not very promising… hrmph

  7. Terrible-Option505

    What the heck happened?!? Missed this game and omfg I’m in shock

  8. Dependent_Weight2274

    I will let this pass because we beat Edmonton, but god damn boys.

  9. Expendable_0

    Buffalo had perfect shots vs sketchy D, can’t blame the goal tenders much.

    I hate to say it but we should really consider moving Kopi to the 3rd line. I think we are seeing how much of an impact he had on our game. Englund seemed to kill momentum any time he touched the puck.

    On the bright side, PLD is finally waking up now that everyone else is asleep. Turcotte looked great as well.

    Looks like Kongs hockey is back on the menu, boys.

    Rams’ defense did a great job holding the Bills to a single touchdown tonight…

    …oh you mean to tell me this was a hockey game? Shit

    Missed tonight’s game, Looks like a real ugly outing?

    This was difficult to watch, the team was a mess on both ends tonight, however I don’t want to discount Luukkonen. Glad to see Doughty called out by Fox as well as Kopitar (I don’t think he is injured, just old). I truly believe he will be our 3rd-4th line Center in the coming weeks. Dubois has woken up and obviously coaching is and approach is a big thing to him. I would like to see

    1st Lafferiere, Dubois, Fiala
    2nd Moore, Danault, Arvidsson
    3rd Turcotte, Byfield, Kempe
    4th Lewis, Kopitar, Kaliev (Grundstrom)
    Could give us balanced scoring

    Welp, guess we’re back…

    The players looked absolutely pathetic out there. Did certain members of the squad not get invited to AI’s??

    Is it time for a new Captain? -6 eh Kopi? Mr. Selke?

    You know I read something the other day, and it basically said the 2012 team was like 100% together, chemistry wise, buddy wise, it was a unit. The Kings the way they’re built now are like little “mini groups” … Didn’t sit well with me. I’m starting to wonder that it’s really time for new players to take leadership roles on the team.

    OR… it’s time for what I’ve been saying all along, get Kopi off the top line!!!! Put someone with legs at that 1C spot! Reduce doughtys minutes as well and let Clarke play EVERY NIGHT! How hard is it to see that it’s time to reduce ROLES of dudes that are pushing 40!?

    Edit: Oh yeah, we have garbage d men. Don’t even @ me.. they can’t play defense. I don’t want to hear it. Gavi is ok, Anderson ok. Doughty needs minutes dropped bad. They don’t block shots, they don’t do jack squat. I’m tired of it. Get Clarke in there ASAP, dudes a Ferrari and he’s sitting around trying to go and we won’t let him go. Pathetic. Spence and Englund are an embarrassment defensively. Roy is too half the time. Don’t even get me started with Roy, endless amounts of unearned credit going that dudes way as of late.

    omg what the hell happened tonight?! I couldn’t watch the game and I’m so shocked to see we lost 0-7 ! WTF 😫

  16. Jaded-Reward-8506

    this sub is so reactionary and weird. we lose 10 games, fire the coach! ok they do, kings win one game, we are SO back right?! kings lose 0-7 next game, let’s blame every single player except the one making 8.5 mil to look hungover and disinterested most nights. make it make sense? oh wait

  17. motionblur00

    Is anyone really surprised at the result? 3-18 over the last 21 games against the Sabers. I bet Kopitar and Doughty have only seen 4-5 wins over their careers.

  18. AdrianKempee

    It’s the Sabres. Get demolished by them every year so ill give them an exception. If we can win every 3/4 games until playoffs, I’ll take that as a success for Hiller taking over. Im glad Hiller at least tried to change things up last night to experiment. Mikey and Drew turnovers were inexcusable and they really need to start letting the kids play on the d side too. This team needs Clarke to take on more minutes. I get it’s his first professional season but the guy has played against men before, is mature, and always puts in 110% effort
