Just a new GM and a replacement for Luc and a puckmoving defenseman and better third pairing defensemen and a goal scorer and a first line center and a second line center and some promising prospects!
So I would say that the future is looking pretty good!!

I know there's no real Kings media. It's all podcasters & team employees. But someone's got to ask 2 questions. What's wrong with QB & should he move to the wing? That's 1. 2nd is how long should Hiller keep his job? We can say all we want here & on twitter or elsewhere. But until those guys & management get asked those questions, where's the pressure?
This was a stunning collapse. From a sure win to a loss in 5 minutes. And aren't we supposed to be known for our defense? I can't say the 4th line was the best because Malotte & Helenius only played 7 minutes & Perry played 11. But they were most effective when they were in. Byfield needs to learn from these guys. Don't get cute, just put it on net. Instead he gets knocked off the puck or doesn't get a shot off. Actually his line is 19:01 toi, 0 pts, -1, 0 shots, 1 attempt blocked, 4 missed, 1 giveaway, 0 takeaways, 3/11 faceoff wins. Not good at all.

A rather inauspicious start to the new year..

Did you forget the collapse in the playoffs last year? This team is the best at playing "the collapse".

The media is what kills me
We'll have Carrlyn in the past game framing it like the Kings outplayed the opposition by cherry picking stats. The Mayor will smugly claim that fans are overreacting for being in horror with this sh*t show. And nobody besides possibly Dennis Bernstein will ask an actual hockey question. Like why the hell is Q losing faceoffs left and right. And if he is, then why not put someone else out for critical draws.
The media in this town is disappointing. Kind of like the team.
It's been crap ever since Helene retired. Wonder if she posted on X about this game? She sometimes posts. (EDIT - yup, she posted)

I’m one of Byfield’s biggest defenders here and I haven’t given up on him yet although I would be stupid not to admit he’s been horse sh*t the last 10 games.
But this is spot on. How can he be allowed to take those faceoffs? To me that’s a bigger problem than QB sucking at the dot, that our
for coach doesn’t change this when it’s so obvious for anyone with even half a brain that right now it isn’t working…
