Danault on his season in LA: “I felt like I had no purpose and that I couldn’t bring anything to the team with what I had. I felt helpless and not important. That’s how I felt at the end”

This season has firmly placed me in the “fire hiller” camp
This organisation has made mistake after mistake after mistake. It’s time to right the ship. It’s time to fire Luc, time to fire Hiller and whatever assistants need to go to, Newell Brown needs to be fired in to the sun probably. This club needs to heal, it needs to build back up. It needed to happen end of last season, but now is almost as good a time.
That’s BS. He gave more than anyone on that team. Say what you want, or downvote, I don’t care. He was an important part of our team and the Kings just threw it away like all the other bone head moves they make.
How could they do this to my boy.
Jim Hiller hockey makes players question the point of hockey
His new team just scored 6 goals and he contributed to none of them.
The organization needs a total culture reset at this point. The on ice product is stale. The front office is stale. Holland has only been on the job 6-7 months, but he was nothing but an uninspired recycled NHL old boys club hire to me. Maybe I’m being too hard on him but that was such a bland hire to me. Luc needs to go as well. You need innovative young new blood capable of operating within the current professional sports landscape instead of old recycled dinosaurs with an outdated approach and inability to adapt to today’s league.
They haven’t won a playoff series in over 11 years. Outside of the 2012-14 outlier years, this has been the story of almost 60 years of Kings hockey. They either suck, or they make the playoffs and get put out in the first round while having no serious chance at making any noise. Maybe if we get lucky, once a decade they’ll pull off an upset like beating Detroit in 2001. Hell they even managed to squander 7.5 seasons of Gretzky with some of those still being his prime years.
It really fucking sucks to hear this especially coming from an assistant captain. How could management let it get to this point?
Nobody wants to play for this team. We are just lucky Kempe likes the beach. Only the Kings could find themselves to be unattractive in a city where superstars beg to come to
Poor guy. Sounds miserable. Hopefully, he rediscovers his joy and love for the game
They look very disorganized period. Not a look I would want for Anze’s last season.
He encapsulated how I feel watching this fucking team play games.
Fire everyone who made him feel unimportant. I’m starting to love/hate this team. I need phone numbers and emails. I’m tried of complaining to Reddit. I want to complain directly.
It’s not you Phil, it’s this stagnant ass team
Danault, you were always respected and valued in the eyes of the kings. You put up good numbers in previous years with us and always gave your all. It’s not your fault you didn’t thrive under current management – it seems that nobody is thriving under this current management.
All the best,
A Kings fan
This is really telling of the current FO and Hiller. Phillip was destined to be the next captain of the team.
Sorry Phil, you deserved better. Fuck Hiller!
No no it’s not true Phil:( love you man
Life and playing careers are short. Good for him.
Colise de tabarnak!
This is just sad. When are we going to be free from a toilet bowl front office like this. Players and Fans deserve way better.
Boycott the Kings and force AEG’s hands to makes drastic changes.
The only people that should feel “safe” would be Bill Ranford and Mark Yannetti. Otherwise everyone is on the hotseat.
Man what a fucking joke. This team better not make playoffs and blow this shit right up man just a fucking joke of an organization all around. At what point does AEG step in and correct their investment.
