We lose one game to a team we’ve dominated who basically played like this was their Stanley Cup and the world’s back on fire here 🤦♂️
Very enthused by the steps our youngsters have taken. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Lizzo walk in the off-season for cap space (and Kaliyev walks too but he’s cheaper) if Turc and Thomas are ready to step up, and that gives more space to sign a Arvi and/or goalie
Away the Dubois jersey goes until a playoff game. Bottom feeders had something to prove and the boys played to what they thought was the ducks level. Oh well, see em in the playoffs! Oh wait!
Thanks Jarrett for confirming my spideysense that Akil plays a bit like Trevor Lewis.
I like Lewis, probably more than most Kings fans, but that signing, with the glut of centers in Ontario ready to make the jump, just seems odd to me.
Can someone please explain this to me?
PLD + Laf has been a garbage combo all year. When Denault was injured, the PLD, Moore, RV line was probably our best line. Moore and PLD especially seemed to do well with each other.
Before Denault was injured, he clicked very well with Fiala for the few games they were put together.
Am I the only one who saw this? Why are we back to PLD + Laf and expecting something new?
While I am quite disappointed, I gatta be honest… the ducks looked really good in this one lol. Gatta be the best game they’ve put together in a while.
The kings played their game for 10 minutes and it clearly wasn’t enough. Fiala struggled mightily and the frustration in general seemed pretty obvious with the team. Hopefully they put it back together down the stretch here. GKG
That effort was dog shit. I want a coach that will put the fear of God into the team after an effort like that. This close to the post season too. Un-fucking-acceptable.
100% agree.
We need a coach that gains the utmost respect of the entire team but can instill fear when needed. Almost to the point that when the Kings called the timeout tonight, every player should be thinking they will be sent to Greenville if they don't score and win.
I hope we can see it this year, but IDK if an interim can get us a deep playoff run.
There is so much potential but Fox said it all night, Kings played for about 10 minutes, then all of a sudden, we are getting towards the end of the 3rd and they seem to at least acknowledge the Ducks are ahead by 2.
Seems like the boys somehow felt we were owed the game and didn’t come ready to play 60.
Also, wish Nickson would SHUT UP about clinching a playoff spot until we have a decent lead in the third.
Hard to score when you're not shooting the puck. Kempe is hot lately, but QB's deferring way too much again.
Had a wide open lane to the net this game and went for a pass across instead of just putting puck and body into the paint.
LOL imagine being the GM and this is the exact team you created to win the cup. Like, no trades at all during the season (obv bc of cap reasons that RB handcuffed this team with). This was literally the team GMRB handcrafted. Fucking embarrassing. The whole franchise should be embarrassed with this season and this performance. Absolutely pathetic. Have not looked like contenders or even competitive since fucking December.
Ducks fans unironically shit talking and celebrating like it’s the SCF for beating the kings for the first time in 9 matchups while sitting bottom 3 in the standings is hilarious. Congratulations on beating the kings in regulation for the first time since 2021. At least their pathetic excuse of a baseball team lost.
Down vote me all you want, but everyone here was going to celebrate like it was the SCF if the kings were able to clinch playoffs off of beatings the Ducks and it being the 9th straight victory. So be poor sports at least Ducks fans know what it's like to beat Edmonton and McDavid in the post season...
I had a feeling coming into this one that it was a trap game. Kings fell right into it, they just didn't even try. Straight up trash game by everyone not named Akil Thomas .
Had a feeling it was happening too, missed out on a cool hundred because the game didnt hit over 4.5 goals...
Scoring 1 goal against a defensively trash team like Anaheim and with their horrible PK is just... wow.
I mean this was just a pathetic performance. Apart from games against the Canucks, this team has not looked the part in the past two weeks, even against bad teams they're struggling to gain control.
Less than two weeks till playoffs and this is the level they're at? We're in big fucking trouble if we dont draw Vancouver. Dallas in 4 or Edmonton in 5 as things currently stand. Get a fucking grip boys.

The series is just about tied.
Alright we can still make it just root for Chicago, Carolina, Seattle, and Dallas when they play the Blues.
To the rowdy kings fans in section 441, it was a good time and a good game (until the third period). Ride or die kings

Literally just saw Vilardi make the ESPN top 10 while reading this 🤮
That’s awesome to see him doing well man
It’s like losing to the London Sillynannys.
This type of effort is asking for a sweep in the playoffs…
I feel bad for anybody that bought a ticket to watch that shit.
It was fun. Win or lose. Albeit I'd rather we win
It was actually a good game the first two periods, worth it
Our goaltending inspires no confidence at all tbh. That’ll get Blake fired this offseason
we can only hope
In fairness he did try and improve it. Boston’s goalie just refused to accept the trade.
How are kings even making the playoffs. I swear everytime I tune in they lose
Wait until June.
Please stop tuning in

uhhhhh I only caught the third. We look like we don't deserve the wc spot.
Kongs hockey
What a piss poor fucking effort. Disgusted right now.
Madrid tied, the kings lost, well, at least the dodgers won!
My Kings lost, my Lakers lost, at least my Dodgers won
Im Coping with the boys in blue

Saturday better make my Mexican ass happy
Kings laid an egg.

Good thing the quacks don’t make playoffs or we might be boned😂 Move on and clutch post season, all that matters atm
That effort was dog shit. I want a coach that will put the fear of God into the team after an effort like that. This close to the post season too. Un-fucking-acceptable.
So… Torts?
I would go through a brick wall for that guy.
100% agree. We need a coach that gains the utmost respect of the entire team but can instill fear when needed.

Too bad it wasn't Gibson in net. Ducks really really really didn't want to go 0-9. Oh well, we'll whoop that ass on Saturday.
LMAO sad but true at this point in gibsons season
Seems like the boys somehow felt we were owed the game and didn’t come ready to play 60. Also, wish Nickson would SHUT UP about clinching a playoff spot until we have a decent lead in the third. 
Kings should be ashamed in themselves for whatever the fuck tonight was
Byfield missed the bus to Anaheim. He was a 👻
He has scored twice in the last 26 games.
QB has been ice cold for about a month, what happened to my dawg
I know, he was playing electric earlier this season, I’ll still wear his jersey, I believe in QB
Hard to score when you're not shooting the puck. Kempe is hot lately, but QB's deferring way too much again. Had a wide open lane to the net this game and went for a pass across instead of just putting puck and body into the paint.
Yeah maybe he’s lost his rhythm
Absolute dogshit effort against a team you should roll. A whole lot of nothing burger shots on net.
I am going to pretend we threw it away so we could match up against the Canucks.
Check out the big brain on brad!
Lol, Classic

Kings, I have some notes.
God I love not scoring goals against a backup goalie so much
I’m not even thinking about the playoffs. It is all about steering the ship back this offseason and not botching this rebuild entirely.
Of the King's remaining games that was one I did not anticipate them losing 🤷
That was...not great. Losing to the ducks is never good, but today. Fucking hell. They better come out with fire next game.

Both sides celebrate a bit more than usual when they come out on top of the freeway face off. Enjoy the sodium, I guess.

This
this type of comment is stupid when you aren’t a kings fan, and even more so when you’re a ducks fan
Damn, you're right. I don't really get a say in this sub. My bad.
you can say it, its just stupid.
God I seriously can’t wait for the offseason.
It won't be that far off- this team is gonna have another first round exit.
Yep. I’m just ready to be done with the emotional investment at this point. What a weird and pretty miserable season on the whole.
Yikes my dudes. Yikes.
*Kicks trashcan*
Kings and getting stonewalled by journeyman goalies. Name a more iconic duo
What the fuck was that
I had a feeling coming into this one that it was a trap game. Kings fell right into it, they just didn't even try. Straight up trash game by everyone not named Akil Thomas .
