The Official 2018-2019 Los Angeles Kings Thread

[Angel Oracle]

I just want to see the rebuild gain momentum, with somehow getting the #1 pick and drafting Hughes and then making nine other solid picks in the draft.

With a younger team, maybe Queneville isn't the answer?    A coach who works well with young talent would be good.

Staples center was dead last night. Never seen it that empty.

No lol but not at all what’s it’s been the last 7 years 

[Tank]

how many straight sell outs did the kings have? that was one crazy incredible streak.

[Angel Oracle]

They're still selling out, but with lots of no shows.

Like angel games 

38k sold and announced...15k in the stadium

Kings go up 3-0; Hawks tie it up, and the Kings score three more to win it.

idiots.

[Angel Oracle]

Hawks were playing much better hockey over the past month.

@Thomas

its 2005 empty tonight 

I’m enjoying the elbow room

[Angel Oracle]

Still 2nd worst record in the NHL, only Ottawa is worse.

+/- has almost caught up to the Dorks as the worst one in the NHL.

we were there thursday night. my buddy is from st. louis and sprung for tickets for us. sat dead center ice in the PR level. great seats!

kings looked very meh. Not sure what to fix because I'm not really sure what's wrong outside of not enough scoring.

Still don't understand how they went from the best defensive team a year ago to what they are now, and with essentially the same group of defensive players.

[Tank]

my buddy made an astute observation . . . the kings have stopped hitting. during their cup run, they were beating the crap out of teams up and down the ice, hitting whenever and whomever they could. They no longer do this. Why? What changed? It might very well be part of the reason for their demise as teams don't seem to fear them very much any more.

I was also there on Thursday vs STL. It might have been more empty

You can't hit what you can't catch.

We won the muzzin trade 

lol

Ottawa is now just two points behind the Kings.

Positioning well for the lottery draw....We want Hughes!  We want Hughes!  We want Hughes!

[arch stanton]

Just seems like something that is destined. The Ottawa pick is bound to be #4

Ron Burgundy to share the booth with Fox and Faust tonight during the second period.

Stay classy, NHL!

[Angel Oracle]

Ottawa has pretty much clinched the highest odds for the lottery.   The Kings and NJ will battle for the second highest odds.  

[arch stanton]

Thanks to the Kings from Avs fans for not only putting some distance between themselves and Ottawa but also practically eliminating Arizona

[Angel Oracle]

Which one will have the better NHL career?    Hughes or Kakko?   Some services have the two closer together than months back.
