There's too many teams within striking distance. Don't f*** this up, just keep on tanking.

 

[LAKings88]

Just lose.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

That bottom picture of Kupari looks like a little kid wearing his big brother's gear

 

[kingsholygrail]

90s night will feature the glow puck.

 

[kovacro]

Yeah, Carl Hagelin is back!

Another regulation loss, please and thank you.

 

[Esteban Tornado]

Who the hell is Jake Middleton??

 

[Reaper45]

Who the hell is Jake Middleton??

Former Kings draft pick who plays in the SJ organization. Why?

 

[Sol]

God whenever these dumb f*** injured vets keep coming back my heart drops more and more. Get the f*** off this team.

Hagelin, Carter, forbort, Kopitar, Quick, bearjew, Get losttt

 

[kingsboy11]

Former Kings draft pick who plays in the SJ organization. Why?

Middleton is making his debut for the Sharks today

I thought this was sarcasm, apparently this is happening.

 

[Esteban Tornado]

Saw a tweet he making his NHL debut tonight from Rosen wasn’t sure he was in our system or somebody else’s. Thanks.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

The Oilers wings are awful

 

[kovacro]

90s night will feature the glow puck.

Are they going to bring back the robot graphics after a goal is scored too?

You know, I wasn’t going to watch this one since I’ll be out, but I may have to watch the recording just for this.

Stoked Hagelin is back.

 

[Bandit]

Stoked Hagelin is back.

Yeah, super cool that WD now has another option to take ice time away from the only players playing worth a shit: the kids.

 

[kilowatt]

Yeah, super cool that WD now has another option to take ice time away from the only players playing worth a ****: the kids.

Players under 25 in the lineup tonight: Leipsic, Wagner, Kempe, Walker

Players over 30 in the lineup tonight: Brown, Carter, Hagelin, Kopitar, Kovalchuk, Thompson, Phaneuf, Quick

 

[DoktorJeep]

I’m taking my nephews to there first hockey / nhl game tonight. With the Kings being terrible I got a good value on some center ice seats in row 4, so I’m hoping it’s a fun game. The boys are 10 and 8 years old and love their hometown teams, the Bears and Bulls. So I’d love for them to be Kings fans, but if they end up rooting for the Hawks, that’s just fine too.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I agree it's a bit of a catch 22. Sucks ass though to trade Pearson only to have Hagelin get murdered immediately. Same with Trevor Lewis, who people seem to have forgotten.

Frankly not that we deserve a better fate and age has a bit to do with it but man games lost is just yet another piece of this nightmare year. There's plenty more to complain about, but for a team that had no margin for error anyway, just about everyone on the roster being beat up didn't help:

 

[kovacro]

Sticking with the 90’s theme, I might crank up the old Sega and get in a few games of NHL 94’ before the start of this one.

 

[The Tikkanen]

Sticking with the 90’s theme, I might crank up the old Sega and get in a few games of NHL 94’ before the start of this one.

That was back when I thought to myself "It would be awesome to have Roenick on the Kings".

 

[KingsFan7824]

Any point moves the Kings ahead of the Senalanche. A loss in 60 minutes keeps them in 31st, but #1 in our hearts.
