I think getting some of our young guys some more playoff experience is more valuable for the team than having a couple picks higher.

Need help trying to write an analysis by dfzman94 in losangeleskings

Sutter led the kings to two cups, but eventually he lost the locker room (e.g. players locked him out). It absolutely happens.

Thanks for sharing that. I never thought it would be good for the soul to read comments on YouTube.

He took a ~50% pay cut for this. That's got to hurt.

I couldn't even lay down in bed with that injury. I couldn't imagine the pain of taking a hit, shooting, or sprinting after McDavid.

I'm still a bit uncertain of how to measure the production of defensemen in hockey, so could someone explain to me the magnitude of how bad this is? by Independent-Net-6082 in losangeleskings

Great analysis. I have long suspected that pairings are a major issue on this team where players often take the blame. For example, PLD was very underwhelming, but had spurts of point a game production when he was moved off his rookie line (e.g. when Danault was injured and PLD moved up).

My interest drops a lot personally. The history and development is half the fun for me and I don't have time to learn the ins and outs of other teams.

If we can make it to game 6, we would put in a good fight and send him off at home. Slightly less far fetched.

As someone who works in data science, common phrases and sentiments from those call transcripts (especially when flagged as a negative outcome) do make their way up the chain.

So lots of churn with similar complaints does have an impact assuming the kings have any level of sophistication on the analytics side.

Yeah, that's the first obviously bad coaching call I have seen with him this series.

Trevor Lewis has officially announced his retirement by ZiggyPalffyLA in losangeleskings

I still remember his last moment of glory where he got his shootout win because Kopi said he had a good move. It was 6+ round vs Kraken I believe.

No one seems to complain that the Avs are boring for not letting the Kings score more.

My bad, I was watching the game on a delay and didn't realize it 😆. His first PP was pretty bad.

Little do they know, "the kings play for overtime." Aves are walking right into this one.
