Their passing is horrible. Better than last game. But horrible! They do the same set up every time in the OZ. They need to practice more plays or something. It’s pathetic, they count on puck luck 70% of the time by throwing shit on net and praying it goes in. It feels like such an outdated hockey strategy.
Every time I see Patrick Kane I kinda wanna beat a cab driver over 20 cents and idk why 😔
As always, abolish the shootout.
Incomplete game dooms us again. Dubois and Kempe looked good. Kaliyev and Spence were good. Not all bad, but hard to see that after another blown lead. First goal was super flukey and Kempe’s penalty was super unlucky, but man that fuckin’ sucked considering the slump going on right now. They were asking to get scored on in OT as well…
The +1 is truly a loser’s point tonight. Fuck. GKG
Bad 2nd Period -> Lose in the shootout, seems to be the theme right now. Don’t love it.
We played a great first and I think there’s a lot to build on (especially with that Laf/Dubois/Kempe line.) But clearly struggling to win games that we should be winning outright.
This really feels like a regression that they might not be able to right. We’ve got so far from the early season team play that the climb back is going to be huge. Really hope I’m wrong
Todd needs to learn that it’s ok to hold players more accountable for being dumbasses. We know what our team is capable of, we know that each player has great potential, but he’s just letting them get away with the shittiest of things right now
Gotta question the leadership of this team. Not the captain. That’s ridiculous. But guys need to be accountable for every shift, from 1st line down to the 4th. Everyone needs to step up and hold the other guy accountable.
The last 2 years, Todd changed this team’s direction in December and they finished strong. The opposite appears to be happening this year. Really odd.
I just wanna see the boys dance 😢
Super disappointing game. Offense is still struggling to score. Overall I think LA had the better of the play but it really doesn’t matter because you just know they aren’t scoring.
On a positive not, the Kempe-Dubois-Laf line looked really good. Laf is continuing to play his best hockey this season, Dubois is showing his talent finally and Kempe looks like the missing piece for them.
The Fiala-Danault-Grundstrom/Kaliyev line looked pretty bad. Grundstrom does nothing, no real chances being created. Kaliyev did look decent in his return though, thought he looked better than Grundstrom there. Danault has been almost invisible for many games.
First line was not great. Powerplay sucks. Fourth line is what it is, but it would be nice if they got some momentum going for this team eventually.
Overtime was a garbage fest with some ridiculously bad passes (Doughty passing to our bench as their changing and turning it over was insane). Shootouts are complete garbage like usual. I just don’t know what to say.
Overall I liked the way they played for the most part but they blew yet another 2-0 lead. Team is not functioning properly, this coming road trip is going to have some heavy implications for the rest of the year.
shootout is stupid, laf-PLD-kempe line is not stupid
I thought the kings looked good until overtime. This loss was different.
BUT
kopitar looked uncharacteristically bad tonight.
Too many bad changes in overtime and in recent games
Terrible passing decisions at times
BUT
hopefully PLD shut up the haters
Laffy is looking good
Goaltending looked solid for the most part

Had this conversation with about 4 minutes left in the 1st period when the Kings were up 2-0. I really need to start betting in games involving the Kings because this team is so predictable.
Where’s the guys that were downplaying our slump right now? I want to see you guys come out and defend our last 10 games because it is *not* good.
The season ebbs and flows boys.
Byfield and Dubois are the guys for OT from now on.
No more danualt, no more Kopi.
Who’s ready to go fucking undefeated on the road??!! Get these guys out of LA and off their couches.
Got tickets to the sabers game for Kopi appreciation night. Now I’m starting to dread what lead we’ll fuck up there
we gotta stop blowing first period leads man
I dislike anyone with Kane on their jersey. I was happy to take the point, but man losing in SO is way more demoralizing than OT.
The good:
* Great discounts on home games coming soon
* Longest away stretch to get back on track
* Loved Pierre Juice
Oh, and Vancouver/Vegas losing as well.
It’s so painful to watch.
Don’t know if it’s a mental thing or a coaching thing but something needs to change.
Detroit or Chicago, fuck Patrick Kane
Here come all of the doomers and gloomers. Yes, the result was a little frustrating and the Kings need to be more consistent but I’m not worried though. The new lines all looked pretty good. I think it is enviable that the Kings will string together a 3 or 4 game winning streak on this upcoming road trip.
Kopi is looking old out there. I really want him to hoist the cup again. But I’m not sure in what capacity that will happen. I am sad.
Yeah, this team is kind of shit. Where the fuck is Arvidsson already?
Kongs in full form
Fuck it, I think It’s Clarke time. Now’s the point in the season where you really scratch your head over the one year TMac extension.
The PP no bueno
At least Vegas is regressing too 3-7-0 in their last 10. 4–4-2 for us. Not sure what’s going on in the pacific now
Please Blake. Make the change this team needs to kick into a higher gear. Todd ain’t the guy. This season is similar to the Terry years
The horrible overtime and shootouts record continues, surprise surprise
Why the balls can’t the homies hold a lead? Someone needs to give em the ol’ Remember the Titans « Blitz All Night » taking-to.
An aside: I hate the shootout. For religious reasons.
If we’re gonna bench Arthur for bad play, is it time we bench Carl?
I’m ready to see Fagemo called up
Idk what’s up with this team. Just zero urgency and really sloppy play. So many good opportunities and passes just for the players in shooting position to fumble the puck
We were on pace to score like 25 goals and then the offense just disappeared
Maybe we just had a hot start and now we’re regressing to the average of where we should be. I feel like the heart of the team is Kopitar, but the brain is Fiala… Great at times, but so many eff ups and lack of discipline that you’re not sure what team is gonna show up any given period.
the little issues like passing and puck control, to effort seemingly falling off. This is a coaching issue. Never been a Todd fan, and seeing this creep out more and more shows my gut was right.
Not on Todd, it’s on the team. He’s been a great coach. Let’s look at the one highlight of the game. The second line of Kempe PLD and laffy, he makes a big line change like moving kempe down a line and it works wonders. Yes I agree this 4 game losing streak is BAD with what we want to do and we should be winning these. The team just needs to put a full 60 minutes in (as cliché as it sounds….) our last like 8 games we play great in the first, shit the bed in the second, and fight our way back in the third. This cold streak will end. We’re a great team just gotta get back into it.
Brutal man, started out so promising then blah. Gotta figure it out
I didn’t realize the Kings had signed Mark Sanchez for special teams! So many turnovers in OT. Unacceptable.
Not as freaked out as the rest of you. This sucks yes, but mid season slumps are like the most classic Kings thing I can remember.
PLD/Kempe success shows that it was never “oh PLD so bad” or “Kempe slump” it’s just a matter of finding the right line fits and getting Arvy back.
Surely Clarke plays and provides a spark soon as well, though it’s a weird situation because Roy and Spence have both been playing well
