The Kings are only 12 games over .500 after 52 games. I'm no longer impressed about what a great start this team has had. They are in 6th place and 3 points away from 8th.
This is a team that SHOULD be challenging for a division title, period. Suggesting a major shake-up like firing the coach is absolutely warranted and shouldn't be void of discussion.
Fire the guy who got you a cup two years ago, conference finals last season, and in the playoff hunt this season. Yeah, I don't see DL pulling that trigger.
This losing streak is frustrating because LA could have won the majority of those games. Mainly due to an ineffective PP, a few costly mishaps, and lack of finish. We are not getting killed or horrifically out played. We are a defensive team and have been for some time. I don't get all the chest thumping dramatics that have been going on lately. We are not going to become Gretzky's Oilers any time soon. Any losing streak by any team is scary this year becasue the division and conference is so difficult. Yes we need to get off this slide but it won't come by gutting the roster.
Not to you specifically but show some loyalty. Sweeping changes and "this team has no heart" arguments are so reactionary at this point. LA is still in the heat of a race. I think management knows what's up and will make a move when they can. As fans all you can do sometimes is ride it out. All I 'd like to see from some is a little more even keel.
