I dont know what to do with my hands

@FriedgeHNIC those poor goalies

The New York Islanders have hired Peter DeBoer as head coach

@NHLRussell gotta feel for kuemper after that snooze fest of a shootout

Kings lose in a shootout because of course. What a stupid hockey game.

@NHLRussell he’s just so lost

I don’t even care that he saved the penalty shot, Forsberg has to be in net to start the second period.

@NHLRussell it’s 6pm on a wednesday,i feel like this always happens

The arena looks like it’s 25% full for this game, yikes.

@JFreshHockey Ovechkin is a generational player. I think it’s pretty safe to say there was plenty of years of Ovi not being the best player in the world while still being generational.

ppl get too caught up on the generational label in my eyes, to be generational, Celebrini has to become the best player in the world, simple as that. that's the bar. it's a ridiculously high bar, and he can have an all time great career even without clearing it - plenty have

@GoldenKnights huh????

The Vegas Golden Knights have relieved Bruce Cassidy of his duties as head coach. John Tortorella has been named head coach. #VegasBorn vgk.io/NE89y

@NHLRussell now why the hell did they do that

Yo what?!

@GUCCIBELLUM @RYGRAAL This is a weird take. He’s one dude and has never put up superstar numbers and is like 38 years old. What exactly were you expecting him to do with a roster that consist of ceci edmundson and dumoulin? He consistently has done his job for 15+ years,front office did not.

@RYGRAAL I feel this szn perfectly encapsulates the last decade of Kopitar being captain of this team. This is the Kings leadership he created. He could've changed the direction of this szn, of the last decade, but he didn't. He was perfectly fine with mediocrity & placation towards fans.

was last night the night we got eliminated? at this point i am hoping so

@royal_rant @TopCheddar69 Ridiculous take on multiple levels. If QB is the reason why the kings are here, then they were doomed to begin with. dont put all these expectations on a dude whos clearly shown he CANT carry a full workload yet.With that being said, 6 points in his last 3 is deserving of praise.

Housekeeping: 1. Stop giving stick taps to Quinton Byfield. He was AWOL for huge stretches of the season and is a reason why the Kings find themselves in this situation. 2. After signing his deal, Kempe has had a very mediocre season and probably won't even crack 30 goals.

The final on-ice embrace between Jonathan Quick and Anze Kopitar 🥹 Kopi also had a final salute to Madison Square Garden 💙

@MikeFromWoburn lmfao only a retard could try to string a sentence like that. Bergeron “carried” above average teams? you clearly don’t know what carried means,buddy won 1 cup in 20 years of above average teams. stop huffing paint you’ll have better takes

@QuickApologist LOL Bergeron carried above average teams and Kopitar couldn't. It seems pretty clear.

Patrice Bergeron carried teams into the post season winning rounds and making finals multiple times over the course of his 19 year career. Anze Kopitar, only made it out of the 1st round three times in his 20 seasons, in one three year period, and not once since 2014.

@MikeFromWoburn lol he had a career high 90 points in 2017-18 with us sitting near the bottom of the division So again,what’s bergerons excuse? Had DECADES of good teams around him and only brought home one cup? Kings had like a 3-4 year window maximum for our cup run and we got 2. Embarassing

@QuickApologist It just makes it clear that Kopitar only competed when he had a wagon of a team built around him. Were they asking him to tank for draft position in those other seasons? Clear now why Dustin Brown was the captain.

@MikeFromWoburn i don’t know how you’re still missing this but more cups in like 60 less playoff games is more impressive. If anything bergeron is clearly a choke artist of a captain. Kopitar led our team to 2 cups, bergeron had 170 playoff games and only brought one? bruuuutal

@QuickApologist Having the best regular season team built around Bergeron at the end of his career is a feather in cap. Him getting hurt right before the playoffs was unlucky, as was running into a team that would make 3 straight finals, winning two. Kopitar is already booking April tee times.

@MikeFromWoburn I would absolutely argue winning one cup in 2011 and then not doing SHIT else despite having very consistent playoff berths and THE best regular season teams of all time lose in round 1 is MUCH more embarrassing. Atleast the kings know their mid,you guys act legit & get exposed

@QuickApologist Hmmm. Seems to me not ever being able to make the playoffs or ever win a series in over a decade is a unique level of choking specific only to Kopitar.

@kurri_jari I know you constantly have dinosaur takes but this is an impressively bad one

The Blob. JS Giguere was an example of the decline of the game. Huge pads. Never moved to make a save. 2003 Conn Smythe. 2007 Cup winner. Good for him. But I'll take a Bill Ranford, Kelly Hrudey, Grant Fuhr, Mike Vernon over The Blob any day of the week. Hockey used to be beautiful. Thank you.

@MikeFromWoburn Imagine making the finals 3 times and only getting ur captain one cup out of it in his 19 year career 😂😂😂Could never be kopitar Fact of the matter is boston has consistently choked when it matters most. Kopitar could never!

@QuickApologist Imagine not winning ten playoff games total over ten years? Couldn't be Bergeron.

@HagensBetter You missed the point so hard it’s not even funny lmfao

Bergeron literally won the selke in his final season

@TheNotoriousHRT pulling up plus minus to make a hockey point is like pulling out a bible to explain science but good try!

woah he has less points? in fewer games?? Bergeron was better. sit down.

@gregnog4073 I think your reaction to how many people universally agree it’s a lot closer than you think says a lot about your hockey knowledge or rather lack of it lmao

“Kopitar is better than Bergeron” is such a contrarian take it’s hilarious, baby’s first hot take. “ermm the beatles are actually overrated” of hockey takes

We need to ban Californians from talking hockey until we can figure out what’s going on over there
