Hey a Mackinnon-Drouin draft would be awesome for columbus! but mostly i came over to see why the defending champs are starting so poorly, the loss of JJ that much of an effect or is it just lack of prep time with only about a week between when the lockout ended and when the seson started?

Combination: unprepared/out of shape/timing issues, some really bad breaks on posts and bounces, teams getting up against us, and a really godawful PP.

We won the Cup without Jack. Our team is stronger without him.

Not here to give crap proposals, just wondering.
No he isn't. The risk of trading him and then having Quick go down is too much to think about. As good as Quick is, I wouldn't worry if Bernier was between the pipes.

Yes, that game was extremely frustrating and no I'm not worried. The power play is a passing clinic. SHOOT THE PUCK!!! Crash the net, do some back door moves, and use something different.

I'm not going to do your research for you. Check out our record after the trade, even without the playoffs.
How did you guys fare after?
Glad he's working out for you and glad he's found his place, but if your appearance in this thread is a thinly-veiled attempt at trolling us over Jack Johnson, it's a massive failure.
As someone already said, this is essentially training camp. No reason to get too high or too low after three sloppy games into the season.
How is JJ working out for you? Did he help you guys get to the playoffs last season? It's three games, plus coming from a team that's only made the playoffs once in their entire history, you shouldn't be so quick to throw stones.
Hint: CBS has the Kings' draft pick this next year because of the Carter/JJ trade -- they want us to stink up the ice this year -- that's what he meant.
Were only 3 games into the season and have made improvements in each of the games. Were 3 games into the season and I'm reading people wanting to fire this, and trade that, and wave this. REALLY? Well I'm glad DL is in charge at this point and not some of you.
Some of the players aren't performing as we would like but you need to see the real picture here. Training camp is 2 weeks old, and we've never been good out of the gate in that short of a time anyway. Guys can be a little sore still, timing's are off a little, it takes time for the chemistry to build back up. They're on the road and don't have the time they need to work on those little things, so they need to work on them during games. I'm not ready to panic yet, not in the least. As long as I see a steady stream of improvements, I'm happy.
Lets see more improvement Saturday then talk. Were only 3 points out of a playoff spot!!
hmmm...
well, I guess last night they did hold a 1-goal (what else?) lead until much later in the 3rd period. I like where this is going!
and several other teams seem to already have "good timing and chemistry"

I don't know who Mackinnon-Drouin is but good luck with that.
Jack Johnson is irrelevant to the Kings. And btw, Jeff Carter scored some of the most important goals in Kings history last year. I was fan of Jack's too.
Check out the Kings record without Willie Mitchell in the line up since he signed with the Kings. It isn't very impressive. He isn't be all, end all but they are definitely missing him on defense and the top two lines have been playing poorly.

Most of us don't give a ****. We saw something happen last June that I thought I'd never see in my life time. There are still 45 games left in the season and quite frankly, this is a season that I didn't think we'd have so I'm just happy to be watching hockey.

Yes, I know. My point is I don't give a **** about Jack Johnson or the first rounder the Kings gave up.

Get rid of Richards???? ROFLMFAO!!! You guys are so funny sometimes! Look what he's done in the playoffs. He was as big of a part of winning the Stanley Cup as damn near Kopi, Brown, or Quick. Yes, he most likely cost us the game in Oil country for a few reasons, (was his back door PK which scored the game winner, he did have the puck and failed to hit the empty net on a hurried shot, and he left the ice slow for that penalty in OT) but i think he's earned some credit with his "fans" for services rendered.

He missed the EN because Schultz deflected it. I'm not worried about him going slow off the ice either. I don't think abyone can question his heart.
