The Royal Rant

@JTDutch True.

@royal_rant Byfield wasn't AWOL, you guys just overrated him Hope this helps

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.

@tamiklockau We can, but let's agree that he needs to do this much more consistently.

@royal_rant So what? We can’t boost him up? He has been a different player under a new coach. That says everything. He has had multiple point games now and is been good on faceoffs

@Papa_P38 @9Trapper My dudes. Let's stop beefing. I'm just frustrated with this team because I care.

@9Trapper @royal_rant I normally enjoy RR’s posts so I won’t hold it against them too much. But yeah, I absolutely hate that take. I agree with points 2 and 3 though 😂

@Papa_P38 @9Trapper Dude, let's stop beefing. We are just frustrated with this team because we care.

@9Trapper @Papa_P38 We will try to manage.

@Papa_P38 @royal_rant That was such a bad take, I unfollowed him

@Papa_P38 He has been playing well but he has never put together a full season and that's a problem.

@royal_rant So Byfield doesn’t deserve praise when he’s playing well because (like basically everyone else on the team) he struggled much of the year? I don’t understand.

@diamonddangles4 Exactly.

Nah where was Byfield the entire year? I don’t get it?

@DooleyLAK @ByfieldForHart @LAKings Must be nice to get accolades for six weeks of good hockey a year.

Quinton Byfield has been on the ice for all three @LAKings goals tonight. Hit a post too. That makes 12 of the last 15 LAK goals that 5⃣5⃣ has been out there for. Think we're seeing his best hockey of the season right now and it's very fun to watch.

3. If you are still wasting pixels defending the Cody Ceci deal, you are NOT credible.

That being said, they merely need to win all of their remaining games in regulation to make the playoffs.

18 regulation wins as of March 25th is also pathetic.

These guys are just beyond cheeks. Time to start a post-Kopi rebuild.

@DooleyLAK @KINGS_Tucker @LAKings Do they though? They seem to always give up the first goal and are constantly chasing.

The @LAKings continue to play their way into just about every game on the schedule, yet they also continue to find ways to lose those games. Previewing tonight's game in Utah, with eyes on getting over that hump 👇 lakingsinsider.com/2026/03/22/3-2…

@JWPatarino What about when you need old, lumbering pylons with no offensive upside? Keep your slick skating puck movers to yourself, good Sir!

@DailyLak @JuanRapido32 Appalling.

The Kings have lost 42 of 70 games played this season. #GoKingsGo

@Jackweber_ Excellent question.

How do the Kings play so much 3 on 3 and remain so bad at it

@tbvuer @NHLRussell I'll never understand why.

@NHLRussell They’re so fucking lucky Panarin wanted to come to this trash team

Loser points are good I guess, but the Kings have missed too many chances lately. Can this stupid season end already?

@Neeebski Scouting needs a complete tear down.

@royal_rant Now hoping for a good draft number and a change in their draft analysis team.

These don't belong anywhere near a playoff series and we all know it.

@Kopitar4HOF I feel bad for Kopi but he has had a stellar career and has no reason to hang his head.

The sad part in all of this is they're having Kopi possibly going out sad. #GoKingsGo
