***LA Kings @ Anaheim Ducks GDT 1/17/26 7:00pm on FanDuel***

[orpheus]

Listening to the post game media excuses again.

Ugh. Maybe, I'll follow the Rams/Bears tomorrow. At least it's something different from this team.

 

[Liz4LA]

"But at least we got a point!" LOLOLO

 

[Hockey53]

yay
2 in a row

No third in the Pacific Divsion,and still out of a playoff spot

 

[Sevenhole]

The only reason I want to watch this team for the rest of the year is if I want to be angry at all mgmt, coaching and player development. Other than that great work in ticket sales sobs

And if the refs wouldn’t have felt sorry for the Kings and given them a 5 on 3 PP for about a minute and 54 seconds,this game most likely would’ve been over in Regulation with the Ducks winning 1-0 or 2-0 with an EN.

I have never ever cheered against this team… until tonight. I wanted that OT loss badly. Surely he’s fired now.

I'd like to see the ratio of missed shot attempts to SOG's. Everything was high or wide or into a defender all night. So ugly.

We just got home from an actual evening out. I checked the score and laughed out loud.

This team needs an intervention.

 

[Ice Rhino]

I find it highly doubtful that Hiller is getting fired while the Kings still have the possibility of making the playoffs. Everyone asking if he's gone yet are going to need to wait until we're eliminated, the post season, or after a poor playoff performance.

That they could've jumped to 3rd with 2 pts tonight seems completely ridiculous..that they lost two in a row to what had been until recently a Ducks team in free fall seems about right.

 

[VCRW]

Just watched the Kempe snipe. Hey Coach! Why isn't Juice in that faceoff circle all the time? Hiller has totally hamstrung the PP effort by putting him on a point.

And I see from the TOI stats that the man-crush on Fiala and Byfield remains in force. How is that working out for you, Jim?

Seems like they had more power plays than shots on goal.

Fox pointing out that Kempe is more effective when he's not stuck at the point. Yep

yeah, duh.......

I only had the Ducks feed here in Sweden (that was BAD) and I think they said that after two periods Kings had a whopping THREE shots on goal while playing 5 on 5 hockey…

Pathetic!!

Fox pointing out that Kempe is more effective when he's not stuck at the point. Yep

I have been bitching about this all year. Many folks on this board were ok with Kempe wasting away at the point.

Hiller started this bit of idiocy last season with the 5-forward strategy. I don’t think anyone has been okay with it, especially Juice.

 

[Kurisu]

As much as we're rightfully bitching about our shortcomings, that Sennecke backcheck, pocket-pick and pass that led to the Granlund goal was absolutely filthy. That kid is fun to watch. I just wish we had someone that young and exciting.
