In a sadistic way, I hope it is along those lines. Just so the Kings can rid him & contract via "Player Conduct" clause.....if he takes another Offensive Zone penalty, I'm going to explode! Just feel prior management regime would not have traded for him....

Pretty sure some of the others picked up his slack in the PIM department last night with him scratched starting with Buster. The penalties are just stupid, seems worse than ever.

And I agree, I don't think he is a guy Dumbo looks at were he still at the wheel. I'm not even sure why the Kings made the trade to be honest, and to get fleeced on top of that is icing on the cake. Don't get me wrong, he is a good player and arguably the most creative, offensive player the Kings have but there simply was not a need for him at the time.

What a pathetic effort put in by the Kings. I missed a good part of the game coming home late and flipping between Doyers and Kings. From what I saw, there is no heart with this team at all. I thought with the additions they made during the offseason they would at least be hard to play against. If they werent going to be the most skilled team but at least play heavy with a chip on their shoulder. I havent seen much of that at all.
They arent really good at anything. Way to many penalties and the ones they do take are lazy ones.
On offense there is no creativity and they are weak along the boards. Their D seems to leave players open in the most danagerous areas and the puck typically finds a way to get to them. I am finding it very difficullt to watch them without getting frustrated.

Spot on. This is a half ass, half hearted team. We are 10 games in and their play is nothing like what was preached in the off season as well as with the acquisitions. Makes you wonder if Jill has lost the room already, or if they were on board to begin with.
