The fact that Blake has to address this just a year after signing the deal isn’t a good look for our front office. I really hope we change our system from the 1-3-1 as well as give him some more consistent and skilled line mates. I’m skeptical PLD will ever choose to consistently play his hardest but this team didn’t do him any favors aside from overpaying him.

I love this team but the franchise is a joke its just another boys club. Zero accountability through and through. Theres nothing to be excited for now. Literally the status quo remains the same. And now we have one of the worst contracts in modern hockey to look forward to. Just great stuff guys really top tier.

If PLDs season is an enough of an embarrassment to Blake to get us outta the 131 and defensive first at all times hockey then the 8.5 mil he got paid this year was well worth it.

Blake wasn’t going to be removed once he put in Hiller. It’s hard to fire a GM when they don’t have a head coach for the last 30 games. They are still a playoff team, but the team needs to go to the next step.
Lots of decisions with contracts this summer. It should be interesting.

Everyone deserves a second chance, maybe if they implement a new system he will be better but until then, we will see.

Anyone who thought this was a possibility is an idiot. Full stop.

What a shame. PLD was useless for what he is being paid

Nepotism is king in LA sports. Rob is making me lose what little hair I have left.

I thought the team looked pretty good under Hiller. I think we saw a glimpse of what type of system he would like to implement during the playoffs. He likes a high aggressive forecheck with TONS of hits. Personally I like that a lot. I also think he’s a great communicator with his players, And he seems to bring good energy. I would like to see if he can figure out how to get players settled in the lineup, and that he figures out how to get all 4 lines to contribute to their potential. I’m totally fine with keeping the front office and Hiller. There will be some changes to the roster I think, I am convinced at least number 3 is out, Possibly 33 as well. Either way, Let’s see what they can come up with over the summer

Then it’s time for him to be fired.

Is this the same lack of interest they had for firing maclelland?

We will be relegated to mediocrity as long as PLD is not this team. It will be a borderline playoff team and get bounced 4 or 5 games. PLD has always been about the promise of more but at this point people need to accept he is who he is, a guy who will disappear and disappoint for stretches of the season and largely in the playoffs. Dean Lombardi had said there’s a difference between a 30 goal scorer on a non playoff team and a 30 goal scorer on a real contender and he was absolutely right and PL has shown who he is. PLD my get 30 but if we get bounced in the first or don’t make the playoffs who gives a fuck. Watching Blake do this job is like watching a car crash in slow motion.

Blake stays, Luc stays….PLD stays. Hmmm, promising.
