@DennisTFP Finally getting back that first rounder we traded to Buffalo.

Some #GoKingsGo news: As expected, Phil Housley will join Peter Laviolette in LA as an assistant coach.

@TripleCrownLAK They are only allowing him to bring in one assistant.

This is good. Now give Newell Brown the boot and bring in someone else for special teams.

@RandoCommando24 @JWPatarino @NHLRussell @Hockey_Royalty @YouTube We need one puck mover on all three pairings. Getting a top 4 doesn’t address the issue.

Kings desperately need a puck mover on the left side. Will Holland be able to pull a move off this summer? @NHLRussell @JWPatarino @Hockey_Royalty youtu.be/qWMmppxWFmQ?si… via @YouTube

@OldBaileyFan @kurri_jari Considering what they had, they probably should have. But giving that long of term for a guy who was already 30 could reasonably make you take pause. But now we have to give up assets to get him back? Oy.

@triplecrownline @kurri_jari I think that’s what it was too. Lord knows why. I would have.

One of the things that stands out to me during Jim Hiller's tenure in Los Angeles - players wanting out. Granted Vladislav Gavrikov was an UFA - but he bolted to New York despite a very competitive offer by LA. Jordan Spence got a healthy scratch in the 2025 playoffs. Asked out of LA and began playing Top 4 minutes in Ottawa. Veteran Phil Danault - in Year 5 of a 6 Year deal. Wanted out. Warren Foegele, who excelled in his first season in LA, wanted out. Seems like more than coincidence.

@MarcelAndRogie Good because we only have a few pounds to give.

Good fit and the #GoKingsGo shouldn't have to give up a ton for him.

@OldBaileyFan @kurri_jari I think the Kings weren’t giving him the term he wanted.

@triplecrownline @kurri_jari But then why did he? For Panarin? The money was pretty much the same. Then let’s get him back.

@JoJoFromJerz Dude, we aren’t paying Iran.

How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?

@krassenstein I could be wrong, but I think he was only talking about nuclear energy, not missiles.

BREAKING: Leaked video shows Obama, on the day he signed the JCPOA Iran Nuclear deal, disgustingly saying: “If other countries have ballistic missiles, it’s a little bit unfair for Iran to have none.” What the hell was wrong with him? Sounds like something a traitor would say. Oops… nevermind. That was Trump yesterday .

@LeafsPapi_ Enjoy!😂

LA Kings in 175 games under Jim Hiller: Goals Against/Game - 2.60 (1st in NHL) 5v5 Goals Against - 273 (1st in NHL) 5v5 Goals For% - 55.39 (3rd in NHL) He led the Kings to a franchise best 105 points in his first full season. Kempe was their leading scorer with 73 points

@evans_nj You’ll see when you throw up that food you used for thought.

Jim Hiller, in his first full season with the Kings, led the team to a franchise best 48-25-9 (105 points). This was with having a 70 point scorer as their top player. Food for thought.

@BigMouthBarry @mayorNHL Yet now he’s won 4 Stanley Cups

Kompon suuuuuuuuucked as a Kings asst coach - Sutter jettisoned him AFTER THEY WON THE CUP - if he was so great, why didn’t Sutter keep him? A quick check… 2009-10 Goals for - 11th 2010-11 Goals for - 25th 2011-12 (cup winning year) Goals for - TWENTY NINTH!!!!!! He got WORSE!!!

ICYMI -- Update on LA Kings Assistant Coaches Under Peter Laviolette mayorsmanor.com/2026/06/update…

@BigMouthBarry @mayorNHL You hated Kompon too. How many more cups has he won now?

@mayorNHL I didn't miss it at all and I reiterate... LOUDLY this time... As much as YOU hate/despise Darnell Nurse for being a dirty player... I LOATHE AND DESPISE NEWELL BROWN FOR BEING A SHITTY COACH.

@YouKnoImHim From what I’ve read before today, it’s 24 billion at the most.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Trump isn’t sending $300 Bilion to Iran. You’re welcome

@jtbourne @Sportsnet He likes to rely on “unmeasurables.” Not very analytiky. His coaching blew the series against the Oilers.

New for @Sportsnet: My initial reaction to the news of Jim Hiller re-joining the Leafs as head coach: sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/in…

@TalkeyHockey My condolences. You’ll soon find out he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Wait until he starts talking about “unmeasurables.”

LA's best players were old (Kopitar, Doughty) their stars were barely capable of snagging 60-80 points (Kempe, Fiala, Byfield) and you're telling me that HILLER was the problem? Leafs suspected top 6: Mckenna Matthews Nylander Knies Tavares Cowan I think he's gonna do great

@PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @HagarChemali She can’t talk over you. Your sound is so much louder than hers.

"You can keep talking over me as much as you like, but I WILL have the last word on this..." Piers Morgan refers to the 14-point memorandum for the US-Iran Deal in tonight's debate. Watch more 👇 📺 youtu.be/PpasdJrxad4 @piersmorgan | @HagarChemali

@OldBaileyFan @kurri_jari Gavrikov said he never wanted to leave.

@kurri_jari Spenny was shocked he got traded. Vlady I bet is true. I know Phil wanted out. Good riddance scumbag. Not sure about Foegele. I think he wanted to stay.

@Mattymar89 He was not an offensive minded coach. He led the Kings to a 105 point season, but his penchant for sitting on leads in the playoffs with disastrous results was frustrating. That and his poor judgement in refusing to give the 4th line reasonable minutes was just flat out dumb.

Jim Hiller was an offensive minded player, has coached the powerplay as an assistant coach To say that he's a "defensive minded coach because he had them play a 1-3-1 in Los Angeles" Lazy analysis He coached the roster he had, which was one that had a lot of holes offensively

@KingsFirstCup @plannermyron11 @Covers_josh He relied on analytics such at height and weight.

@plannermyron11 @Covers_josh Well this is just more proof that analytics are useless if this is the guy you’re using in your argument

What are the Leafs in for Kings fans? Another recycled NHL coach... .surprise!

@TDOTResporter @Covers_josh An assistant coach is a very different role.

@Covers_josh Um, weird to ask LA fans when he was an assistant here for four years, well respected, rounded, has solid relationships with Matthews/Nylander and never had a chance in LA with a not good team. It’s fine.
