Yep. He knows the team sucks right now, he's not playing up to his standards, and he's trying too hard to fix it.

is it goon-it-up time yet?

Dean needed to add offense last year and he did, I think he knows he has to do it again this year if this team is going to sneak into the playoffs.

Defense man, The Hawks are exposing this D BIG TIME.

We really need to get blown out hopefully this wakes us up next game.

We don't do that thankfully, so no.

Edit: Wow the replay on that SH chance, Lewis is a great PK'er, but that just shows his lack of vision. Stoll essentially has a one on one from between the circles if Lewis makes that pass.

Lewis is brutal, he is to one dimensional

[Ziggy Stardust]

Look at that great communication by Kings teammates.

[Rafa Nadal]

Why don't they just announce that Mitchell will miss the rest of the season?

[Sydor25]

Best defensive play by Kopitar all game. Too bad it was against Muzzin.

At least we won't have to hear that the kings cup win was a fluke.

[123slam]

Well, looks like we're a one and done team. New rebuild DL! I'm ready.

Even if it was 16-7 Kings, we'd be looking at the same score.

[DaAnimal]

Don't give up boys. Still plenty of time left.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Andrew Shaw is 5'10" 180, and he just out muscled Muzzin behind and in front of the Kings net. This passive aggressive hockey isn't going to cut it.

I really don't see them in contention to even make the playoffs this year. I think they'd be lucky to be 10th in west with the way the rest of the conference is playing. They need Willie Mitchell, a massive win streak and a miracle to salvage any pride this season.

Muzzin is not an NHL Defensive player, been saying that since he left Manchester.

Yep, at this point it's getting frustrating.. Not sure why they wouldn't announce it honestly.

[Ziggy Stardust]

Is that pic of Dustin Brown sleeping taken from today's game?

Well the Kings have injuries, nothing you can do when you lose the kings of guys we have lost. Forwards are totally healthy and totally ineffective.

Mitchell, Martinez and Greene will eventually return, I don't know if Mike Richards offensive game ever will.

Dean needs to do something, the Kings offense is non-existent.

Almost every Stanley Cup winning team is one and done. There is too much parity in the league, especially since the cap came into things. The Hawks look amazing right now, just like they did in 2010 when they won the whole thing, but they struggled in the playoffs the year after they won. Same goes for Boston.

I don't care if Muzzin is a rookie. He sucks and should be nowhere near NHL ice.

Yep. Definitely know his character and you know he's beating himself up right now.

That being said, he looks like the old, out-of-control quick instead of composed...remember when he used to be athletic and slide all over the place just because he could? That's how he looked on that third goal (even though he got pulled out of the net a bit).

[lumbergh]

What the hell is Penner doing there? Just wave your stick around. That'll help.
