***LA Kings @ Chicago Blackhawks GDT 3/3/25 5:30pm on FanDuel***

Well, Clarke got scratched again and look what happens; the Kings are struggling without him. And to a lowly Hawks team, no less. That's on Hiller and Blake for scratching him out.

Burroughs should not be playing in this Kings team. He adds almost nothing to this roster. Why Blake/Hiller decided to activate him in Clarke's place is something only they can answer.
 
And the road trip from Hell continues.
This may be the ugliest week of hockey I've seen from this Kings team in a couple years. We're making the Hawks look like the '93 Montreal Canadiens.
 
Wonder what’s going on behind the scenes with this team. Starting with the loss to Anaheim, each succeeding game, this team has played worse hockey. 1 line team again. Byfield’s line is just frustration on ice. Danault’s line is all perimeter except for 1 Foegele chance. And the less said about Jeannot and Lewis, the better.
 
2nd period ends. The Hawks score two more goals and LA is playing down to their level as I feared. I'm not sure if the Kings have the heart to even come back in the 3rd after 40 minutes of this lackadaisical performance. It's as if they want to lose these games. Well, maybe let them because at least we don't have to go through the suffering of seeing them bounced out of the first round for a fourth consecutive time. The Kings are losing face and I wish Brown hadn't retired. Even then, he won't provide much improvement for this current iteration of the Kings.

Wonder how many of these guys are nervous about the trade deadline? They are playing with a lot of frantic energy, but little purpose.
 
4-1 Chicago. Yeah. Yet another 3rd period breakdown for the third time in a row. Just utterly pathetic. And yet another ex-King scores a goal: Athanasiou. The Kings really seem to attract ex-Kings scoring goals against them.
