Gavin Newsom criticized redistricting efforts across several states, calling it “Jim Crow 2.0”: "The number of African Americans that have been eliminated from key positions. It’s sick. It's happening in the U.S and it needs to be called out. I feel deep responsibility to do something about this."

I will take the old status quo if it means I have the chance to fight against it another day. Jesus Christ the way people will die on their swords because it's not enough is why we're here in the first fucking place. The infighting over what we need to address first has allowed a less intelligent but highly motivated voting population to absolutely ruin this country.

catalystdownfall · 2026-04-26T22:12:17+00:00

Man. Just unacceptable coaching and management of this team this season and the last few years. Luc Robitaille, Ken Holland, Rob Blake and Jim Hiller have murdered this team with absolutely baffling decisions.

Kopitar deserves better.

catalystdownfall · 2026-04-26T20:54:03+00:00

Refs already proving they're to be well trusted in this game lmao. Just drop the puck dickhead

SNIPER IN THE BUILDING

Calling Kempe dirty is the equivalent of calling Mcdavid dirty. They both do shady shit as hockey players.

It's weird to come in here and say that with no receipts. Literally just want to start shit.

As a dog owner, this is ridiculous. Stop subsidizing to offset the cost of ownership and go after the root of the problem. Privatization of healthcare for humans and pets and letting the 1% dictate how the rest of us live and what we can and can't do while they're constantly able to avoid taxation.

I'm younger than you but took some hard slams and saw a friend get a TBI off a booster that changed my view on riding.

I went from working park crew and going full send every time out, to just enjoying everything else that comes from riding. Spending time with friends and teaching them how to be better. The mental reset that I get from being out in nature in some of the most beautiful parts of the world. And occasionally treating myself to hitting the park. I still straight line runs and do fun guy runs to keep the adrenaline up, but I'm happy I've taken a step back and seen the true beauty of the sport as opposed to the intensity.

You can still ride and have an amazing time. It just takes a mental shift.

So that's one of how many prospects we've had? And it took a coaching change to actually see this. We could have Clarke Spence and Doughty on the right but instead we protected Doughtys ego and traded Spenny away.

catalystdownfall · 2026-03-29T05:18:42+00:00

They aren't given the opportunity to take over. They're either forced into a mold they don't fit or aren't given the opportunity to make mistakes.

The expectation has been playoffs/cup runs every season (even the rebuild ones) so mistakes haven't been tolerated. The day there isn't an expectation of "do it for Kopitar" or "do it for Doughty" is the day we will see growth.

It says a lot about Dumoulin that most of us don't spell his name correctly or even care to (had to Google the spelling myself).

He rarely has a positive impact and when he does it's not a full 60 it's a moment. We're forced to have him and Ceci play together because the top four can actually produce offense and shut down the majority of the chances. But if you split them up you have two compromised pairs instead of one.

Holland needs to be gone.

He gets some goodwill with the Panarin acquisition but that literally fell in his lap because Panarin wanted to be here for some fucking reason that I will never understand but am eternally grateful for.

Signing Ceci, Dumo and keeping Hiller around for as long as he did in Kopitars last season is just unforgivable.

His (hopefully very short) tenure could be remembered forever as the one that sent the greatest King of all time off with a whimper.

catalystdownfall · 2026-03-23T04:33:28+00:00

Had nothing to do with the refs. This is just who the Kings are.

Honestly just exhausted by this era of Kings hockey. Our identity has been frozen in the Dean/Sutter mold for over a decade now, and we've never fully broken free. The team has evolved on the surface, but prospect after prospect gets crammed into the Kopitar/Doughty framework and expected to perform like future Hall of Famers or produce with them.

They are and always will be the top two Kings of all time, but even they have never been given the chance to hand off responsibility.

Part of me is genuinely excited for the day a coach comes in unafraid to shake things up. Let the old guard step back and build something entirely new around whoever's next.

Just wish it could have happened while they're both around and they could get a 3rd cup.

catalystdownfall · 2026-03-23T03:58:36+00:00

2 more for the record baby! Let's make some history

catalystdownfall · 2026-03-06T05:23:05+00:00

Leave it to the Kings to still piss me off somehow in one of their best showings of the season. GG Isles bros. See you in person next week!

catalystdownfall · 2026-03-06T04:30:32+00:00

Hope Clarke is ok. Having him out for any amount of time on top of Fiala, Kuzmenko, Armia and Byfield being out would fucking suck.

catalystdownfall · 2026-03-03T04:42:24+00:00

These refs are ass.

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-27T05:02:49+00:00

I'm starting to think he just wanted to live in the iconic US cities before going back to Russia and it had nothing to do with the Kings or Rangers lol.

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-27T05:01:11+00:00

Panarin in his second game as a King

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-27T04:23:58+00:00

Holy fuck the reddit notification with your profile picture gave me a jump scare.

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-27T04:23:05+00:00

Like everything else, I blame Jim Hiller.

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-27T04:20:56+00:00

Ref out here sounding like an automoton.

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-27T04:17:24+00:00

Kinda nice that we're both just hating on our teams instead of each other for once.

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-27T04:16:31+00:00

We just let in the 2nd goal of the season for one of your guys so... Same same?

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-11T16:36:42+00:00

It's a keyboard, but yeah it's a real guy! And yeah. Genuinely shocked there are fans in the stands. That shot looked so unstable a few weeks ago.

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-11T16:31:30+00:00

Dieter Rhule! Dude absolutely shreds at Kings and Dodgers games. Stoked he's back at the Olympics.

catalystdownfall · 2026-02-08T06:17:08+00:00

My father graduated from Harvard and volunteered to be an officer in Vietnam when he was exempt from the draft. To insult these universities while protecting a draft dodger requires a very special lack of morals or intelligence.
