Seriously, the Kings started the season on fire, then fell apart. They have made trades and free agent moves to be more competitive than they currently are. McLellan’s seat got very hot.

Kings suck. Bunch of babies.

Kings suck. They’re a mediocre team that is just good enough to make the playoffs but will flounder.
The org had to make a move, albeit this wont solve their long term issues.

Although not gonna lie I saw this as I was waking up and I’m like…I didn’t know Jonas Hiller was coaching why else would this be in our subreddit?

The right move would be to replace Blake,he traded for the cancer that is dubous, seriously if they didn’t make that one move this team is a first place division contender

I’m paraphrasing, but Drew Doughty last week pretty much said certain people on the team need to get over themselves. Until those people do it doesn’t matter who coaches the team- it’s going to continue downhill. The ducks lost their rhythm after, what, 6 games? The Kings lost theirs after a nearly glorious road winning streak and a pretty good home record.

Honestly don’t really care because this is one of the year when I feel very confident that they’re not making it out of the Pacific in the playoffs

lol Chicklets were just saying this week they’d be absolutely batshit to fire him

Doughty called out his teammates for being more concerned about personal stats than winning. Perhaps McLellan wasn’t able to get the players on that same page, so he’s gone.

Fuck the Kings, but this is the dumbest move. None of this shit is on the coach. He’s the best coach they’ve had since Sutter. This is Blake trying to save his own job. This wouldn’t have been as bad if he had brought in someone like Berube or Sutter who will hold guys accountable, but he brings in Jim Hiller. Fucking terrible honestly.

Dubois has been a bust. Gave up a lot of good players for him.

They’re trying to get over that first round exit hump. Expectations were high and they seemed to be meeting them and then they fell off a cliff last month. Feels like it’s more on Blake than it is the coach, but the coach is usually the first drastic step in situations like this. It worked for Edmonton I guess.
TL;DR: loooool fraud team who haven’t won a playoff series in a decade

Jonas is that you?

PLD ruined the locker room idk

This implosion is hilarious! Perfect example of how NOT to do a ‘rebuild’. We dodged a bullet years ago when Bob couldn’t pull off the PLD trade and he went to the Jets. amazing that the kings extended him 8 years LOL!!!
