this is fkin tragic dude

The turnovers are just egregious.

said to my wife earlier we are the turnover masters

This might be the game, Todd.

can only hope so. if it's every player being terrible what else can you do

Do Blake and Todd even realize that their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines have been committing mental miscues with disturbing regularity for the past several games? 'Cause this is so mind-numbingly unreal it's insane that they somehow want to look past their errors and continue to use them as if they still trust them enough to keep them in the roster. At least put the under-performing players in the doghouse to let them know who's boss.

Kempe walking around Pat Brisson’s kid on D. Nepo Hockey League is real.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Great, yet another Kings penalty. They really are playing with fire in this game.

 

[VCRW]

And now… what else can they screw up?

 

[Liz4LA]

The decision-making by this team in January is incredibly bad.

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Kings lethargic...no excuses, we're being out-worked...again

 

[DRice]

And now… what else can they screw up?

Don't ask questions you don't want the answer too.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Kings kill their 3rd penalty. Some little hope I guess.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Kings are fortunate the Sabres PP is so bad.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

And now the 2nd is done. Seriously, Todd and company are back to going to a defensive shell after taking the lead and letting the other team take over. They just couldn't learn from their past mistakes and it's just inexcusable. My goodness, can you not take your foot off the gas and keep it going so that you can run up the score? The earthquake from earlier must have been a bad omen for the Kings to come.

 

[hornman]

This sucks.

You are telling me…I came to the game.

Either I get to see the Kings win, or witness Todd’s last game coaching the Kings. This is inexcusable.

 

[orpheus]

We need another earthquake before the third.

 

[Clif]

Kings give bad teams the exhilarating feeling of coming from behind. They start feeling it, believing in themselves, and rally together for a feel good win.

 

[Statue4Deano]

This is so frustrating because we’re getting a top tier effort out of the 1st line. Kopi looks like Kopi again for the first time in over month. But they’re getting next to no help from the rest of the other lines.

 

[VCRW]

One encouraging stat: Kopitar is 14 for 20 in the faceoff circle.

 

[KHenry14]

This is some ridiculous playing from this team. Time and again making the same mistakes is the road to oblivion

He looks fantastic out there tonight. Strong, fast(ish) and decisive.

LA's mistakes are the result of coaching/management issues. The constants are Blake and Todd, who just couldn't get a clue on the consistent miscues their players keep committing as the games have gone by.

At this point, Kopi's night is going to be wasted by this inexcusable performance of the other 3 lines (2nd, 3rd, and 4th).

 

[symbology]

He’s the type of player who can’t play all 82 even if healthy.

Kaliyev was better than him after he sat a few games. Why he is sitting over the way Grundstrom has been playing is baffling.

Todd gave him an earful after that play. That is the first I have seen that. Todd should have been doing that back in October when he was doing the same stupid stuff. Seeing Todd do that now, he must be feeling the pressure to get this team winning, or someone else will have his job.
