Right now, the Kings are not a playoff team. It is hard watch a playoff-worthy team play so poorly. Losing to 12-32 San Jose? Dubois has been a noticeable bust. Looks like he's following the same dismal patterns he showed in Columbus and Winnipeg. I hope Dubois regains his productive form. Otherwise he is just another terrible drag on the team with his huge cap hit.
When a game goes to OT or shootout, I resign myself to another loss. The Kings' objective during a shootout seems to be hit center mass. I've been a Kings' fan since 1969. I've seen it all, but it is still frustrating to watch this season' team play way below its potential.
Todd might take the fall for the last month or so, but I don't feel like he's the problem. The Kings have been completely unable to finish since late December, and that's not on the coach. Unless TM sitting in practice saying "Do all the hard work, but whatever you do, don't hit the freaking net!". Again, I think he might end up being caught in the switches, but it's crazy to think that he's the issue.
All you can do after all else is failing with a high paid underperforming player such as PLD has been this far..is put him as first line center. Don’t change lines continually on account of things. Dubois is going to tread water being center stage..sinks like a stone being moved to third and fourth lines.

Time to go Todd

Pretty Large Disappointment (PLD) so far
Time to find a #1 goalie

How long does the organization allow this leadership to continue? The team is basically 2-11 in the last 13.
