From the guy who is convinced amadio played with kovy and Carter and he is bad because he didn't produce

Lol ok

He's 100% spot on with his YouTube comment.

Possibly, don't know what it means, don't care but you would think someone who has the balls to call someone out would at least be correct in his assertation. He was dead wrong, and just didn't like being called out on it

No different than you choosing to ignore stats when you've been called on your bullshit too. But then again you'll just deflect and move on since it doesnt fit your agenda. Seriously, just go find another board to post in and leave the rest of us beneath you in peace.

Lol except I don't comment on crap I don't see, he clearly didn't watch the game and claimed amadio is garbage because he didn't score playing with Carter and kovy.

But I guess that fits the narrative all players are garbage cuz my team didn't go 82-0

 

[damacles1156]

You got to watch Casey Cisikas the best bottom six player in the entire league shred the Kings. Like watching prime Jarret Stoll dominate face-offs.

 

[Dooney]

Is it time for the lotto draw yet? Mega not draft lol

 

[damacles1156]

So far, the players got the Coach they deserve in John Stevens.

Lombardi "Once the players start picking the coach, you're in trouble".

The team looks lifeless and not interested in playing any form of Hockey, even pond hockey. The Islander bottom six just crushed the Kings full lock stop and barrel.

 

[Sol]

I strongly disagree with anyone saying it is only the roster or only the coaching.

Just like it's not only the drafting or only the development.

I do think there are differing degrees of causality. I think development's a lot more lackluster than the drafting. I think it's 50/50 between coaching and the roster.

The organization needs an overhaul in several aspects.

100% would like if I could.


Though I think the staff is a more pressing issue than the players

I agree the infrastructure of coaching and development are much bigger priorities. Without the right infrastructure, it doesn't matter who the players are.

Considering the Reign are underwhelming as well, it seems widespread.

I think the Kings felt like they owed it to Stevens after all the other coaching gigs he turned down to remain with the team.

Well it didnt workout in Philly and it didnt workout in LA.Stevens needs to be fired or step back to assist coach where he exceeds on the defensive side of the puck.

God I hope that’s not the case. That’s no way to run a business out of obligation or sense of. If so, then seriously time to cut your losses.

 

[LAKings88]

I appreciate GoldenbearHockey’s take and optimism.

I don’t think the Kings are as bad as these handful of games.

I do think there is cause for concern.

Stevens needs to figure it out quickly or he will be out sooner than later.

I'd be happy if Pearson put in 1/4 of the effort Matt Martin played with.

 

[fsanford]

They have played 3 playoff teams, lost to them all, and 4 lottery teams won 2.
November the schedule is 15 games in 30 days. They better figure this out, cuz if they play like this during that schedule it could quickly result in a 5-10 mark, and the season will be done.

 

[Reaper45]

What exactly do you want to know, 35 years playing, 25 years coaching, 30 years officiating, all from CA to PA, to Toronto, and places in between.....everything from single A to triple A to juniors, and single A pro (think the old WCHL days, etc)

Man I loved the WCHL. My dad and I had Ice Dogs seasons seats. Those were great times.

Believe it or not my favorite quote in this entire thread is

"And that is why Thompson plays so much"

Love when a terrible player does something that isn't terrible and it has to be posted on the board to re-enforce a view. Reminds me of MR circa 2014.

God help us if Thompson ever scores a goal, someone might make the board crash.

 

[Legionnaire]

Good luck with all that man. Gooooooooooooooooood luck.

What makes it even better is that Thompson wasnt even on the ice at the time....

 

[Herby]

Thompson is just like almost every other fourth line player the Kings have had the last now five seasons, if he were to be waived tomorrow no one would claim him and he'd end up in the AHL and then probably in Europe next season. I realize it's not the biggest problem with the Kings, but it should be the easiest to fix, but the Kings just continue to trot out garbage players on the fourth line year after year after year.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I definitely think much of the issues with the Kings is in their heads. I just don't know how you fix that.
