  4. End of the day, no one on this team seems to have the it factor anymore.

    Post the meme raymond

  5. 0-8 in the shootout with the season winding down and valuable points on the line…

    This team really knows how to rip our hearts out. Why did I get my hopes up after we tied it. Why did I bother watching after it went to OT.

  7. Fitting that we set the NHL record for OTLs on this night. To get a point out of this one after that first period though, is unexpected.

  14. Number 1 star for both teams should be the posts and cross bars. Thag being said considering where this game started. Got be happy with a point

  16. The LA Kings are the worst shootout team in NHL history. They literally can’t score a single goal

  21. Not bad for back to back OT against a well rested team. Still hurts, but I am glad they gave Kopi something after that dumpster fire of a start. My heart hasn’t beated like that all season.

  22. Any other time of the year, that would be a nice Hiller point and all that jazz, but that’s a tough one to swallow. Darcy let in the worst goal of his life, 4 posts including the shootout, QB not able to finish after beating Saros. They did look very good for the final 30 minutes of the game, but just another 2026 Kings game.

    Losing 19 in OT/SO for the year is honestly embarrassing.

  24. How in the world will the Kings ever be even mediocre when they have to play a stiff like Ceci? He’s the worst of all the team’s defensemen (at —10), offers zero offense and literally can’t advance the puck (just 8 points all season). Three more years with this guy? God help us.

  26. This team really is like a toxic relationship, they punch you in the face and then go wait no we can be better and then another OTL. I’m not mad! Just disappointed to get another pity 1 point. Giving props to Kuemper where it counts in shoutouts. 

    Sending everyone to mandatory shooting lessons in the summer!!!
