Kings are done.

[SLarmer28*]

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

Yup!

The excuses are starting to pile up.

Im a Jets fan. Kings are a great team. Lots of adversity. Lots to be proud of. They will be back.

Don't tell me the odds!

Yup!

The excuses are starting to pile up.

How is that an excuse exactly?

Don't tell me the odds!

I personally think it would be hilarious.

The truth hurts.

One of the general themes within this thread.

Well that ought to shut up their twitter account for awhile.

They just don't score when they need to. They could probably use a long off-season to recharge. I'm guessing they'd like to move out a boat anchor contract or two but it'll be tough.

 

[SLarmer28*]

I personally think it would be hilarious.

It would be more hilarious if the Pittsburgh Penguins missed the playoffs and the Edmonton Oilers won the lottery with the Pittsburgh Penguins pick.

Oh lord, I was joking about the odds, don't be a robot.

"injuries" is an excuse. "fatigue" is an excuse. "Now we get McDavid" is only an excuse if you're reaching.

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. As much as it pains me to admit, the Flames & Jets absolutely deserved to make the playoffs this year over us.

The lackadaisical play in extra time cost us dearly, as did our inability to close out teams like Edmonton & Leafs early in the season.

No excuses, just bad play. This wasn't a case of arrogance. It was a case of other teams wanting it more.

In the meantime, we'll be in the corner, licking our wounds, but we'll be back next year! I can handle a cup every other year

To all those reveling in our loss, just know that karma can be a real b. Good luck. The real battle starts now.

 

[Frank Drebin]

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

LOL. Lets just say Anaheim has a much better chance of advancing past the first round than LA does winning the lottery.

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

And then you woke up.

 

[jax00]

Road to the Cup for everyone gets easier. Hallelujah!

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Sour grapes

Why are you sitting here trolling Kings fans after their team just missed the chance to compete for another cup? I as a Hawks fan have more respect for the Kings than any other team in the league. Our matchups have been some of the best hockey in years. It will be weird without them in the playoffs, but I think it helps our chances to advance to a SCF.

We'll see. Their goaltending is questionable.

Ah, it sucks getting kicked while you are down but what do you expect? When you are the champs there is a target on your back.

Off topic, does this now make the West a weaker conference? Ya I went there.

I'm guessing he's one of the loud majority of obnoxious bandwagon Blackhawks "fans." I'm sure his excuse will be that he was boycotting Dollar Bill's ownership, just like what all the other bandwagoners say.

Injuries? The Chicago Blackhawks have endured their fair of injuries this season: van Riemsdyk, Sharp, Crawford, Versteeg, Kane.

Fatigue? Don't tell me about fatigue when the Chicago Blackhawks have played a hell of a lot more playoff games than the Los Angeles Kings since the 2008-09 NHL Season.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Oh it is for sure, its just that LA's odds are 1% to win the lottery.

I'll take the 1% over a first-round exit any day of the week.

Alright alright. I wasn't trying to bring fanbases into the conversation. On a hockey level, its mutual respect to the max. That's all I wanted to say and I think that goes for almost every Hawks fan out there.

 

[Omni Owl]

Not that anyone mentioned this here in this thread, but I don't want to hear about how fans in LA aren't passionate about hockey. Tell that to my broken guitar after tonight's loss....

 

[E D]

Really happy that we are getting a Van - Clg matchup

LA played hard, and as much as I don't like them, that's mainly because they've been a force over the last few years. They played their guts out but couldnt get anything done.

Props to the kings and their fans, you'll make an extremely quick turnaround next year I'm sure.

But seriously...... don't win the draft lottery, just do that one thing for me please

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Voynov would of helped them a lot.
