  1. I know Clarke binned the second goal with the missed shot block, but Eddy was six feet away covering the ref so we’re just completely fucked

  6. If we win this it’ll be entirely down to the bottom 6. They’re playing like a playoff game. Pretty much is

  7. And to make matters worse.. I got here too late for the Kopi shades and the kid behind me is kicking my seat. 🤡🤡

  8. Jeez Lakers getting worked on one channel and the Kings getting worked on the other

  9. Where has this physicality been all season!!! Let’s get back to this style of play!!!

  10. This team is dog shit. Just pull the bandaid off this season already so I can get my blood pressure back down.

    I don’t know if its the concussion or what happened but clearly we can NOT win a game with Kuemper in net anymore.

  11. As a leafs fan please Kings, please we really need you guy to make the playoffs. Hopefully get revenge on Edmonton too

  12. Dude what is wrong with me why do I keep watching this dumpster fire team. Kuemper is obviously not in a good place, give him a break! Bring up portillo 

  13. Yeah no. This team is not it. Every ‘big game’ they fall so flat. I’m ready for next season.

    Also 4th line should have never been broken up. I believe the 4th line last year suffered when Jeannot went down. I called in to Kings Talk with Jesse and he poo pop’d my fascination with the 4th line but after seeing how the coaching staff refused to play that line, I believe it was crucial to the playoff loss

  14. Man I love Laughton. Holland better try to re-sign him. Sad when a guy who has played for this team for 1 month has to be the one with the pride and grit to step up and try to turn this game around. 

  16. This is one of the most must win games this season. They should have come out playing playoff hockey, with urgency, but they get scored on 3 times (high stick should have counted) in like the first 3 minutes. This team does not deserve to make the playoffs and if they do make it, it will be the biggest waste of time to watch all 4 of their games.

  17. I was gonna tune in… I think I’ll just play some video games tonight lol

  21. Can’t believe the predators look like a top tier team against these guys Jesus

  22. Rantanen ruined our season and the guys did nothing to back their goalie up. Such a pathetic display 

  26. I just want to send out my heart-felt sympathies who anyone who actually got in the car, fought the traffic driving to Crypto, paid for parking. Probably dinner, snacks and beer, hiked up (or down) to your seats, and now you’re subjected to watching this shit irl. My heart goes out to you.

  29. Kuemper isn’t playing with the same confidence he had last year at all. Maybe his injury from before is still nagging him, I don’t know.
