Kempe injury update

So it’s probably going to be PLD on the wing with Kopi and Byfield, and throw Laferriere to the wolves with Kaliyev and Turcotte. Going to burn everyone out before we get to Vancouver, and we’re gonna get run over in that game.
 
Ooof. This team has now turned into a MASH unit. Losing Kempe, Mikey and Arvy will create opportunities for others but does not bode well for the team longer term.
 
I think he broke his wrist or fractured something in his hand, the fact that he covered it with a towel speaks volumes.
 
Blake is somewhere smiling on the inside.
He now has an excuse to why the team underperformed this season.

Blake: It's not my poor choices in coaching. It's not my poor choices in acquisitions of players.

.........It's all those injuries, and there is nothing a GM can do about it....so see you all next season as we start over yet again.

Upper mgmt can't be that gullible. He has no more runway, injuries or not.
Blake simply must go.

That was my concern as well. He's suddenly got an out. Hopefully those above him i.e. ownership, saw the ship sinking before the injuries.

Yep. Blake has to go.

I had been a very vocal supporter of Blake for years, but its's time for him to hit the bricks. I'm reminded of a conversation I had four years ago with another Kings fan...

...I was waiting in line at the AAA in Montrose and of course I was wearing my Kings jersey. The guy behind me in line also had a Kings jersey on and we struck up a conversation, which became rather animated. He hated Blake and I told him to be patient and give Blake a chance, but he wanted him gone back then. It was his opinion that Blake was not good making personnel decisions, and once again I suggested we give him some time for his sélections to pan out.

Well, Blake's had more than enough time and the PLD trade was the final straw for me. I wasn't thrilled with the way he handled the Quick trade, but I wasn't that angry about it...but this PLD fiasco is on another level.

I hate the thought of starting yet another rebuild, but Blake has to go. Point blank.

I'm more entertained that you go run routine errands in a jersey...and meet up with other guys doing the same in a jersey.

Been a fan since I was a small child, but I've never rocked the full look shopping at Stater Bros.

You need to find that guy and apologize.

LOL

I'm not sure I've ever walked out the front door without Kings or Rams gear on in the past 35 years, unless it was work or a business meeting.,.,.but even then I probably had a Kings hat or Rams hat on my head. It all started after my first wife got me this for Christmas in 1985, then after the Gretzky trade it was pretty much 24/7 Kings for many years. There aren't a lot of photographs of me in the past three decades...my daughter is constantly amused by the fact there are so few photos of me...I think I found like ten pictures of me since the 80's...her and her sisters take like 20 selfies a day....but whatever pics there are of me, I'm usually wearing this:
