Yes i love Vlad bring him back!
Go, Panthers !!!!!!! Hopefully, the finals will be more interesting than the conference finals.
The wheels have fallen off Doughty.
Hiller lost the series for us, it's crazy when you think about it
ABSOLUTELY bring him back. He seriously excels at KIngs' style defence and along with that, he also has the best stick in the NHL and is extremely durable. Almost never injured. The Kings would be insane not to sign him. And Karo sounds exactly like me. I have been playing hockey since I was 4 and im 49 now and still playing. I have NEVER stopped watching hockey but I too, couldn't watch any hockey for a week. My heart was just gone from it for a while. Devastated and worse, disgusted about that coaching display
Yeah the week off from hockey was a must… 😢
I like our team, I think if they were coached differently we’d still be playing.. We certainly played the oil better than Vegas and Dallas..
What would you consider a breakout season for Byfield?
Look at the Oilers now. They are in the Stanley Cup finals! The kick start of their run was the idiotic coaching challenge in the 3rd period of game 3! If the Oilers win the Cup, they should put Jim Hiller's name on the Cup for helping the Oilers!
Just look at playoffs vs regular season how has Edmonton done at home in the playoffs 🤔
Hiller probably had the strategy to fall back into the neutral zone trap in playoffs that's probably what his plan was all season to switch it back it seems like it now especially since he didn't accept any accountability
No one is running 3 lines in the playoffs! Keeping Hiller is a disappointing start to the off season!
Fan Feedback Friday question: if the kings sign their projected second-line right winger in free agency, whether it's Marner, Boeser, or someone else, what will happen to laffy in the lineup. I dont believe he goes down to the third line where trevor moore and warren already are. Does he become a 4th line player in a line probably consisting of turcotte, helenius, and laffy.if we have wingers signed for the long haul what does it mean for prospects like greentree who will be ready within the next year or two?
Thank you Eddie
California politics, mandatory masks, one of the worst states with the lockdowns , Karen bass dragging her feet with the fire victims homes, Gavin NEWSOME government.. high taxes. All of this matters to potential players ..
Great episode Eddie !
Sounds like kings losing all their soon to be free agents
Need Gav and hopefully resign Jeanot for toughness
Eddie and Karo to be honest I like Hiller as a person but as long as He is the Kings coach we are going nowhere specially in the playoffs and simply put Hiller with some of the coaching staff directly lost games 3 and 4 along with the series! HILLER NEEDS TO GO NOW!!! After game 4 Hiller's arrogant pregame media comments completely solidified that he is a bad coach and will never take or admit any blame!
