Fire Blake!
I like your commentary most of the time I think our current team if they don't get the performances we hope the young guys we've been waiting for like Byfield stepped up I don't see the King's doing much this season they let too many good players leave and not really fill those holes maybe improved the goaltending but that's it I don't have any confidence in this coach especially if he doesn't change the system we didn't change it when it stopped working and we paid the price a lot plus lack of offense and effort in the playoffs could have won that serious if they had tried more also tired of losing good players to other teams with lousy trades like Dubois we have up great players for that lazy slob why you think his old teams fans were laughing at us I would have taken even one of our guys we have up over him why our team doesn't learn from our mistakes just keep repeating them King's always need a discipline coach we have winning seasons when we do because these guys are lazy maybe because they live at the beach not sure but you ever notice our explayers always play better after they leave the King's
Promote the GM in Ontario or Greenville to take over for Blake
Fire Rob Blake, He’s ruined this club.
Get a new song, this fanbase is beyond toxic.
Us Kings fans are bipolar at the best of times when certain subjects come up…and especially Rob Blake… There are still a lot of us who believe him to be the second coming of Benedict Arnold…and didn't need to come back a second time as a player…let alone having that jersey retired and becoming GM…
Is Michel Petit chopped liver??? He was once a King (also played for nine other teams)…
Go Kings!! 🍻🇨🇦
I think part of the reason that listener believes you are being negative is due to the Fire Blake chants being brought up as often as they are on the show due to so many Kings fans being unhappy with him.
I'm of the belief that this is the case though because of this being the off season, there really isn't that much to talk about at this point.
That being said, I can't imagine Luc will make the same mistake Blake did (when he renewed Todd's contract) and re-up Blake for another season (or longer?) only for the Kings to not meet expectations and then let him go after the fact as well but who knows with this organization anymore?
Gretzky trade or not, nhl would have expanded anyway. All about money and profits.
Keep it real, you are wonderful
Some fans are just too optimistic as well it's clear this isn't a winning team it's a mid range maybe debatable if they are middle upper or middle lower league quality
For my kings mount Rushmore.
It would include
Marcel Dionne
Anne Kopitar
Drew Daughty
J . Quick
Dave Taylor.
No Gretzky for me either.
I know the trade was great for the nhl.
Easy to acknowledge that.
But he came from in my opinion the biggest bunch of arrogant jerks I ever seen assembled on a nhl team, with Gretzky being at the top of the list with Sather, Anderson et al.
I watch a lot of different sports mostly as a los angeles fan.
And I can honestly say the one and only team that I truly can't stand even now is the oilers.
I wanted the kings to beat the oilers, not essentially join them.
Good show keep up the good work.

Seems like to me the swift change in direction of the kings came shortly after Bergeron came on board
This is nothing. That's why I left the lakingsinsider because of the comments and persistent whining
Nobody should let McClellan off the hook for screwing over the team chemistry and lack of leadership and discipline.
Blake built a team that will wind up ranked about 12-18 in total points after 82 games. The team on paper has a 66 % chance to make the playoffs. It has a 20% chance to advance to round two.
Blake has built a mediocre team and a soft team that can’t really dominate on the game control. The team at times is too discombobulated on the ice.
Thank You – I Thank All of you here and Eddie too. I am, by training a Data Analyst. Think Data is Gold now. Data (Psychoanalyst) Analyst (for business organizations and processes). I was writing to support Eddie and the newsfeed kept popping up on Tuesday and Wednesday. All of you, and Eddie have seen the train wreck signs and now we can't ignore them anymore. Blake doesn't believe in Luc's organization plan to be a data-driven organization in the correct and functional larger business organization. Luc only has a couple days to fire them or 3 people. I had the pleasure of seeing a snapshot of the glaring business organizational function of friends, family, and trust. I got to put on my professional hat. It has taken Blake a long time to where Luc. We now have Old School hockey. When Luc should have been telling Rob, he has it is WRONG. WHY it kills the TRUST in the WHOLE business organization!!! This was the owner's gamble on putting 2 friends and organization. You tell a LIE or falsehood and his belief to someone and a trusted and close to top it off. As all factors in the assumption reach 100% of the model and can be as little as 4 lies or personal beliefs. This is from the latest paper I just read 1-3 months ago. Ironically smart people who believe data, don't believe even data professionals.
