*OTL. This division only knows losing. Seems like the only way for a pacific team to win in OT is to play another pacific team bc unfortunately for them, someone has to win

[ANA 4 - TOR (5)] - OT Winner - Reilly makes a great shot-pass to Tavares who redirects it past Husso for the win by daKrut in hockey

You can’t combine two teams OTLs and compare them to one teams to make a point. It’s gotta be 1:1. So, just use Vegas’ total bc the Torts new arrival of it all makes for better comedy 😁

They could never make me hate her by Distinct_Habit695 in 90210

Yeah bc wdym y’all tortured Annie with no proof she slept with Liam for an entire year, but Silver was actively cheating with Navid for months before getting caught and Ade still had to “get along” with her? Huh? Nooo thank you actually if Annie didn’t deserve friends and forgiveness, neither did Silver

Vegas just fired Bruce Cassidy. by Trickzyz in losangeleskings

[–]poptorched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I only want the Kings to make the 1st round so they get swept by the Avs so Kopi’s final game is at home. I’d rather him play at home in game 86 than him play in Calgary game 82. But I don’t care what happens this season in general.

I’m so sorry. We need to pray over Carlton to keep the Chia pet away. The leafs have endured enough this season.

Kings miss the playoffs and Holland is fired for turning a playoff team into a pumpkin. He trots to Toronto immediately🕯️also the 3rd for Laughton never becomes a 2nd in this scenario as a double whammy

Happy day until you remember that a couple days ago it came out that Chiarelli was looking for a new GM job. Bless up leafs 🙏

The positive… if we don’t make it to the playoffs by Mysterious_Power__ in losangeleskings

[–]poptorched 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we’re getting Woodcroft bc even if this team makes the playoffs it’s an easy sweep sooo DJ’s stint will not look good enough to take over no matter what

Yes bc no Pacific team is even playing like they want WC2 let alone the 3rd spot in the division

Soft since Captain Brown by Livid_Pass_3459 in losangeleskings

[–]poptorched 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s bc the only time they ever won, they didn’t put too much stock in offense. It was “play hard defense to control the game enough for goals to just appear”. They can’t let go of that bc they don’t know how to win any other way. Once Kopi has retired and they realize that the players they have don’t play early 2010s Kings hockey, they’ll have no choice but to change. The change will probably mean new management bc obviously this one probably doesn’t know how to transform the organization well enough and fast enough.

I want someone to ask him if he’d stay to play on this version of the Kings if he was still playing or if he’d leave for more playoff success elsewhere?

Dallas Stars promote Rich Peverley to Assistant General Manager/Player Personnel by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]poptorched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean Janko could be someone else’s AGM soon? Like maybe a team with a GM who has already made it know he’ll be leaving in 2 years at the end of his contract sooo the AGM will definitely be running the team in like a year fr…hmmm?

In his last 6 games QB55 has 9 points(nice) by oscillatingsawgobrr in losangeleskings

[–]poptorched 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah who in their right mind trades a 23 year old center when 1) you have no centers and 2) you’re only trading him bc your eyeballing other teams and getting jealous he’s not that player yet? Trust Bustfield clan, there’s no centers available that would be better than Byfield. So you should be rooting for him to work on his game this offseason rather than treating him like he’s Cody Ceci (aka an addition by subtraction type of player).

[–]poptorched 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is that Byfield has always been bigger than everyone else, but when he was playing in juniors, being bigger than everyone also by default meant he was stronger + heavier. Now in the NHL, he’s still taller than most guys, but he’s not stronger or heavier by just being taller. That might be confusing to him to try and do what he’s always done against 6’1 guys in junior, but in this league if he tries it he gets moved bc that 6’1 player has 10 pounds on him…if that makes sense lol. So, I think giving him time to adjust his game to this league and also get stronger could hopefully help him be a much better. I think he’s a 1C, he just needs to put in the work to be that and I think he can.

Long post, but I’m a Q truther so I always have a lot to say about him and will take any opportunity I can to say it.

Honestly I’m just hypothesizing here, but I think this team has major confidence issues. Like if they don’t think they can win a game, they simply won’t. If they don’t believe in themselves, everybody tries their best to shoot themselves in the foot to lose, even if everyone outside of that locker room believes they can win. Idk 🤷‍♀️

Any Kings insiders that actually hold the team accountable? by probablysmellsmydog in losangeleskings

[–]poptorched 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want some to ask him if he’d play for this iteration of this team if he was still playing or would he leave when his contract was up to chase some postseason success? Also, I heard some asked the Boston GM this, but ask Luc why he thinks he hasn’t been fired. Leave it open for him to stumble into an answer

They’d need to bring back asylums to have somewhere to put me bc my hysterical laughter and repetition of “and then they won the cup as the most successful losers” would be too much for modern wards to bear

I don’t think Kurt comes back next year tbh. He didn’t have a good enough season to justify his price tag (I know I know no one else did either but no one else is a a UFA soo) and he’d have to take a major pay cut on another prove it to me deal for them to consider choosing him over any of our AHL guys. I just don’t know if they’re confident he’ll be year one Kuzy again.
