Not a chance. They already have their flunkies in the web media crafting "We got screwed" as the excuse/mantra for the offseason.
Even with the quality of our media sycophants, it’s going to be tough to defend a 4-1 series loss.

The Refs really blew this game but the reality is the Kings are not built to compete for the Cup. The big guns are shooting blanks. Fiala hasn't done a thing but take stupid penalties, Dubois, all he does is go for a lazy skate when on the ice. Kempe is the only one that has done anything. I think Beckman needs to clean house at the top. The Luc era needs to end, he hasn't done a thing to make this team competitive and Blake is even worse. If Beckman can do this then he needs to go also.

Skinner sucks. They should be able to get back in this and put the pressure on Edmonton.
Yes, Skinner aint a good goalie, but the Kings don't know how to generate offense and come from behind. If your team is only designed to needing to score first and then hold leads, with not even an average threat from the PP, then you don't deserve to win any playoffs games other than luck!

Gave up a ton of assets to get Gavrikov, spent a lot of money to make space to sign Gavrikov, only for Gavrikov to spread his legs faster than a 2000s sorority girl relentlessly

What I see going into the offseason is a team that isn't super skilled, yet they aren't physically imposing or fast enough to force their opponents to play their game. Couple that with a lack of goaltending and that isn't a recipe for ever getting out of the first round. The organization has to find a GM who can commit to giving the team an identity. Some of the deals this GM makes may be lopsided against us on paper but crucial in terms of establishing that identity. Without that we're not going anywhere.

Ive heard Fialas name only twice this series. When he scored that floater from the boards and when he took a diving penalty.
Hes a bigger no show than Dubois this series

Then the same for player lacks desire and the quality we gave up for net loss Fiala Blake is worse than McMaster

They’re getting outnumbered attacks and the kings aren’t even being dangerous
