Ok so this is the start of a new blog to talk about the Hockey team Los Angeles Kings. This is strictly opinion based and has no ties to the team at all, but is a way for me and occasionally friends of mine to vent and or discuss issues dealing with the LA Kings. Also this is a very amateur blog so please do not post hate about it, it is hear for fun so lets try and have some even while we struggle through a very bad time in this teams season.
So here goes, I do not understand what the coaches and management of this team is thinking we continue to ask players to play outside their positions. Tonights lineup will include 6 centers and only 2 left wingers. They ask these natural centers to play a wing spot that they are not acustom to and then don't understand why the consistence is not where they want it. For example yesterday the team moved loki over to ontario so if they needed to recall him he would be closer. The team must have know they would need a player as they recalled him today to the big club. I like loki but the team knew it would need him if one of their wingers could not play. I wish they had thought about it a bit more and recalled an actual left winger, perhaps a guy named Holloway who happens to be one of the scoring leaders in Manchester and is a natural left wing, the spot the kings have actually looked to fill all season. I understand Holloway has no NHL experience but he plays the position we need and is showing the touch to put points on the board. Why not give him a look and see if he is ready, if not at least he will know what to work on to be a long term solution. This is just a example of the little things about this team that don't seem to add up. We have a ton of talent and are certainly better than 12th in our conference, but that is where we sit. My hope for tonight is for loki to fit in as best he can and hopefully we can play for 60 minutes and get the points we need tonight. Lets make tonight the turning point and make a run to get a playoff spot back and carry some momentum into the playoffs. If this team can't start a playoff push soon they will be sellers come trade deadline and us fans will once again say " Hey next year is gonna be our year"
