I’m pretty sure Mallot was considered a lock once Perry went down.

I just clicked the link the kings posted and it led me there.

Could well be a blessing in disguise...double boon along with the fact that Kings fans won't have to watch Perry's face for quite a while lol.
Having an additional proven-enough-for-Hiller bottom 9 body ready come playoff time would be huge.

I didn't really notice until last year that they seem to play the same songs at the same time every game. I remember living in LA we decidedly stopped going because of how annoying the place became (but would still cruise down to Honda center for LAK games because we preferred the venue).

Trouba should wear a ski mask for the 8 million dollars he is taking from Anaheim and playing like duck p*ss.
You guys aren't kidding about the same songs being in the same spots during the game. Would rather have Dieter play organ music the entire game.

The music at Staples is incredibly rigid and scripted and has been for at least 15 years. There’s a rotation of about 15-20 songs that must be played at every game. It’s to the point that I’m wondering if someone in management is forcing the music template on whoever is responsible for “in-house presentation”.
It’s amazing how dated, boring and paint by numbers everything about game day is. It’s all just an extension of how stuck in the mud the organization is. Extremely mediocre product top to bottom.

Our son and his wife live in Newport Beach. If we go to see the Kings together this year it will be in Anaheim…. definitely not a Crypto.

It's sad to say, but if I moved to California/LA today and had no ties to either team, I would hands down choose to support the Ducks. Their Organization, at least outwardly, seems to care more (reducing costs to fans, making games accessible to all, on ice experience, building a winning team, building excitement about the sport, and overall hockey culture).
I really hope the Kings Org can get it together because both the players and fans are worth doing so.

....all true, and yet the shame of being a ducks fan would be too much to bear. (I kid, I kid) Despite Luc's/aeg's/ et al.'s best attempts, our collective fandom/masochism endures...GKG!

Kings fan since about ‘96. Been attending games at Staples since 00/01. Season ticket holder at staples from 06’ through 2013. The whole production became so utterly unbearable that I’ve not been back to see a game in person since regular season 2016. I made the drive down to see the Kings play in Anaheim several times, and as others have noted, it is, unfortunately, a superior experience. I was always a little bit jealous because it wasn’t a nonstop barrage of bullshit pop music, and they had much better food vendors, at least at the time. I’m not sure what the culinary choices are like at Crypto these days, but I hope it’s better than it was during the early 2000’s. Atrocious.

The best food I have had at Crypto/Staples, other than the the food in the suites, is still way back when they had McDonald's. Sad that McDonald's set the standard of excellence in that place.
Trust me, it's only gotten worse since 2016.
That said, I did go to a Sparks game this season and the bathrooms have been significantly upgraded so maybe there is more to follow. Food seemed a little better too.
