New Year’s Day kings choke in the last minutes , the very next game against the wild they choke in the last minutes , and now tonight choke in the last minutes . 3 outa 4 games this year they have CHOKED in the final minutes ! No excuses , they are G A R B A G E
These guy stink and can’t play 60 minutes
Also the sharks were %100 on the pk and pp and the kings were %0 on the pk and pp .i thought kings were supposed to be the veteran team and the sharks the noobs , so why are the kings the worst pp and pk team in history!? Who’s getting fired
They should trade Byfield. Not surprised He missed a chance to win it in O.T. I thought Trevor Moore was out to illness?
Saw Jim Hiller mention He’s out due to an upper body injury now.
If they wanna chance at making the playoffs.
They need to make changes asap and not wait til later down the towards the end of the trade deadline
Where is Trevor Moore? Same thing happened before Denault got traded for nothing. No one wants to play for Hiller. He is a total #ucking a$$ clown. Holland should have fired him immediately. This team is going to be trash for the next several seasons. Luc Holland and Hiller ALL need to be fired. The decisions made by owners managers and coaches make the team and our team SUCKS because of it. This season is over for us and the clown show will continue for years to come.
The Kings literally went %0 on special teams and the sharks literally went %100 on special team . That’s beyond pathetic
Aside from the awful special teams performance, Kempe simply cannot be that slack in overtime. Not just the giveaway but making the wrong choice on the 2-on-1 then just compounds the mistake. Not good enough from one of our veteran players.
Definitely some sort of pass for what they were missing. However, one issue I see is Drew, while still a good defender, isn't elite and doesn't warrant the minutes he's getting. He wasn't as overused as he typically is but he was -2 last night. It's hard not to see that Brandt is doing what the team treats Drew like he's doing.
I hate the Sharks, but Celebrini is a special player. Byfield had an opportunity in ot and couldn't do anything.
Byfield is supposed to be out future but dude is non existent. We gotta get rid of this guy immediately and anyone who thinks he needs to stay is clueless
We lost a big 1 EDDIE
Good morning Eddie I 🎧 to my LA KINGS games on the NHL APP
Keep up the good work my brother
I remember the last show you mentioned about replay , I agree 💯
I thought Taylor Ward was traded to Baltimore?
Despite the call and being shorthanded a few players, we still blew the lead with 2 minutes! Every team gets bad calls and goes through injuries, no pass!
Byfield is not a scoring center. Hes a 4th line winger/AHL’er.
Not one player on that line up screen posted puts fear into anyone! What a bunch of 3rd and 4th liners this team is made up of!
I like the compete of the forwards last night, however the Brian Dumoulin- Cody Ceci experiment is proving to be an epic fail. They are terrible.
Does any player on the Kings team have more turnovers than Fiala? Yes, he can score, but he turns the puck over way too many times for someone with his skill.
If the NHL wants to grow the game in non traditional markets they should have teams play a game or two in states without an NHL team, but cities that have an ECHL or other small market team. Boise, Portland, Fort Wayne, Coralville, etc.
Byfield is dog shit
7:39 great dialogue on the replay. What a shame we didn’t get that goal
