The Los Angeles Kings are facing significant changes in their front office and coaching staff after a third consecutive season of regression. Fans and analysts are questioning the team's performance and the need for a new playstyle. Major changes are expected for the Kings this summer, with discussions on the capability of Rob Blake to implement them.
Last night's elimination read: It's time for the @LAKings to look hard at making major changes. #GoKingsGo https://t.co/hYy0brQRu2
The status quo can't be the solution... can it? There are going to be tough conversations for the Kings this summer, writes @icemancometh. Are major changes necessary? And is Rob Blake up to the task to carry them out? https://t.co/UzyOHs1YKl https://t.co/Hr4gjme9xY
Kings game morning hangover recap - Results are what we all should’ve expected going into the series. - No adjustments on the PK, but it wouldn’t have mattered. - Same for the PP. - What depth? - New regime, new playstyle, new everything, Kings fans deserve it. #GoKingsGo
small picture: Kings got the bounces, definitely not the calls in Game 4/5 to get bounced by Oilers again in playoffs. Medium picture: Team has plateaued. 3 straight playoffs but 3rd time was not the charm. BIG picture: Change is coming to LAK....the question is HOW MUCH?
The culling should begin in LA. The Kings should have an almost entirely new front office soon, and a largely new coaching staff. Regressing for the 3rd straight season is simply unacceptable when you've traded a 1st in back-to-back drafts and are now in cap hell.
