Kings are done.

[SLarmer28*]

Stoll, Williams, Richards and Brown need to go. They're dragging the team down.

The Los Angeles Kings are stuck with the Brown and Richards contracts.

I'll enjoy listening to AM 1040 when you guys go down in Flames in the 1st round.

Always entertaining to listen to Canucks' post game talk when they make an early exit.

... so do I ... LOL.

 

[KingClipper]

I love knowing that we have two Cups in three years while haters on a message board try really hard to look for any excuse why they don't matter.

They could try to pull a Clarkson trade to get rid of one of the two. Flyers have Pronger on the LTIR.

Love all these experts...where you guys when the they won the second in three years

This is a big reason the Kings are missing the playoffs this season. Team has played so much hockey the least 3 years, and wear you down marathon grinding hockey at that.

I was cheering for them.

No two teams are exactly alike. Context is always different. The Rangers have played a bunch of games, but they didn't win. The Hawks didn't win the Cup twice in 3 years, or go to 3 consecutive conference finals either.

Who can say for sure how much fatigue plays a role, if any at all. You can go through a list of things that might have been the reason why the Kings missed the playoffs. All excuses, all reasons.

The Kings lost two home games in OT after having leads in the 3rd period to the Flames. Had the Kings won those games in regulation, it could be a different outcome right now, who knows.

Is it so hard to admit that for once, they messed up ? The Voynov suspension was ill timed, but I'm not getting into that. There are a few issues to be addressed before next year.

Sorry... Props brah.... Saying it to others

 

[KingsCourt]

First team to miss the playoffs the next season after winning the cup since the Hurricanes in 2007. Ohhhhhhh boyyyyyyy.

New low... Being chirped by leaf fans.. Now I'm embarrassed

Been right here, waiting for this moment.

Don't feel embarrassed. The Leafs were the first Stanley Cup champion to miss the post season the following year...and they've never been back.

I'll hit you with my favourite. Stop living in the past.

And I'm eagerly awaiting how Boudreau chokes the season away this time.

I'm not saying they're perfect and don't have warts. The roster is a bit bloated, and they're not getting enough bang for their buck in every case. I'm just saying no two teams can be put in the same mold. Different circumstances all around.

Kopitar didn't get enough done. Career low in goals in a non-lockout year, and around 100 fewer shots than his career average.

Not sure ill timed is the right phrase for Voynov. I get what you mean, but I think unforeseen would be the way to go.

 

[ElKingsFan92]

Yeah, remember that time the Kings beat the Ducks at the Ponda en route to win their second Cup? Yeah, I remember that quite well.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

... so do I ... LOL.

...what are you going to do with your user name when mb is a king?

The Los Angeles Kings are stuck with the Brown and Richards contracts.

richards contract will be dealt with. Im in the minority but Brown will bounce back; we ALWAYS knew his contract would be a little much.

Certainly. eVEry team is flawed.

At least Anaheim got a ticket to the dance.

How will Richards contract be dealt with?

I'd rather have a chance at winning the draft lottery than choke in the first round, personally.

ohh what good memories you conjure up.... kings fans outside looking in at us once again, glorious.

 

[Omni Owl]

Called us missing the playoffs way back before January after we lost against the Oilers, and was BLASTED for it. I was just being realistic, and really do wish I was ****ing wrong. This year was a ****ing nightmare to watch as a fan. There was nothing fun or fulfilling while watching these guys trudge around out there.

 

[KingClipper]

Two Cups in three years and McDavid in a Kings sweater... glorious.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Buyout, trade, or salary retained. I'm not sure how, frankly. But we're not 'stuck' with it.

Sour grapes

Really banking on that 1-2% chance, huh?
