well another hockey season is coming to a close and being a kings fan just sucks cause it looks like they are gonna miss the playoffs again now being a fan as long as i have i have seen the kings when they are really good and really shitty and well this team isnt shitty they arent moving in the right direction yet still alot of issues to be resolved first off the offense now this use to be a strong point but now its a weakness they dont score enough timely goals and when they do they seem to have a defensive lapse in the next few mins and give that goal back but they have made strides in the goaltending dept gone are the days of the 7 to 6 games that kelly hrudey played in or for that matter mario lessard daniel berthiume and grant fuhr days atleast felix potvin was pretty good but a few things i have noticed about this team is the fact that dustin brown has too many goaless streaks anze kopitar doesnt score enough alexander frolov cant play hard in every game drew doughty cant shoot the puck on net during the power play denis gauthier cant stop taking dumb ass penalties like hooking calls because he cant keep his stick on the ice ted purcell needs to skate better and play better in the corners well hell everyone on the team needs better corner play except frolov jaret stoll needs to stay on his skates especially in the corners again its these small battles along the boards that wins hockey games the kings seem to do this one game but not consistently enough to be a great team the only three players who have been consistent all season wayne simmonds michal handzus and kyle calder i know i am being a hard ass about this but i am tired of being a fan of a losing franchise one that had the greatest player in hockey history and only went to one stanley cup final and lost in the second round each other time they got to the playoffs and when they had the greatest season in team history lost in the first round yes marty mcsorley i will never forgive you hey dean lombardi the clock is ticking
