Congratulations Eddie! - I started listening to podcasts because of you. I started your second day. Thanks for the Kings entertainment.
Hey Eddie, long time Puck Podcast listener and e-mailer here who stopped listening to all podcasts for a couple years, but now I've returned. And now to boot, finding you here to hear all things Kings is a wonderful discovery.
You're doing a great job and I have a lot of Locked On Kings videos to catch up on. Let's hope for the best next season and I'm pleased the Oilers did not win the Cup, though I think it's imminent. GKG!
Awesome...Happy 2 year Anniversary Eddie!!! Thanks for the great job you do running the channel
Congratulations Eddie!
Happy anniversary Eddie and boy time sure flies when we’re having fun!
Happy anniversary good sir! New listener, 32 year fan and glad I found you on TH-cam.
Congratulation on your two year anniversary.
Happy Anniversary Eddie!! As for the Matt Roy - PLD comments, let's give Matt Roy 2 years to see how much of a difference with PLD makes.
Happy Anniversary Eddie! Martin Frk is now with the Calgary Flames Organization
Love Rob Blake. Let's Go Ducks!!!!
Happy anniversary Eddie! Here’s to many more years. GKG!
Happy anniversary Eddie! To touch on fagemo.. hopefully he gets more than 10 games like we've seen when Todd was running things. Such a bummer to see guys get a call up and see them play 10 games or less. Hopefully Hiller has that patience and hindsight to let them roll like Laffy last season.
Thanks for always keeping me informed and up to date! Congratulations on 2 years GKG
Doubt we'll ever find out but I don't doubt part of the McLellan hiring issue with the Jackets isn't just about the money but that their GM promptly flipped him to a division rival of ours and Quick actually made a difference their stretch run and made the Kings look like even bigger fools for the whole way that fiasco played out.
It really just tells you what state the Kings front office is in these days. They can save some money on Todd's contract at this time but they refuse to do so here and the Jackets play in the Eastern Conference so there is no advantage gained by him coaching for them.
Their biggest problem was over paying for Kopitar and Doughty! It's hamstrung them for years and still will for the next few! Had those 2 taken more team friendly contracts the Kings would have been able to add better players and maybe things would be different. While Kopi's $ amount has lessened, Doughboy's $11 million a year is way to much at this point!
It's bizarre to me that Rob Blake was talking about being ahead of schedule when Kings made the playoffs, to only practically trading the players who got them there in the first place. I don't think as a GM, you don't want to go out and buy players, you want them raised here so they stay hungry to continue living in southern California (California weather can't be beat). Perhaps Blakecwas getting impatient or probably jumped the gun with Talbot and definitely PLD, who potentially had. Lot of upswing and didn't meet those expectations. Try QB at center and see what happens. Give these young guys a chance to play and see what they're made of.
Matt Roy was on John Scott's podcast. Roy is this really unassuming guy and a bit dull. It was a good interview, though. Scott asked him tough questions, and he asked him about PLD and he said all that stuff about good teammate and all but he added a small nugget in information when he said, "maybe he wanted a bigger role". That's exactly it. PLD came here believing he would be the face of the franchise, and he would be hanging out with Lady Gaga, and his face would be on billboards. However, that didn't happen, so he sulked and moped and skated around like a spoiled kid who didn't get ice cream. Kopi is the #1 guy here and there aren't many out there who could supplant him in that role. Daneult is defensively responsible and every coach likes that so he played. Dubois is not at that level and he is not defensively responsible so he was moved down the pecking order. Instead of working hard to be the top guy, he wanted it handed to him. That's his personality and why he should not have been brought to LA.
Faber was a 2nd round pick not a 1st though definitely 1st round talent, Walker didn't have a spot on the roster, and he wasn't traded for a 1st, PHI got a 1st to take Johanson's contract and Walker, and Grans is starting to look Europe bound, Blake cleared $5mil in bad cap for two 2nds and a player they couldn't use, overall a win, on Fagemo he got a shot with another team, he was claimed off waivers by NSH at the start of the season, came back on waivers when no one else would give him an NHL job, Blake hasn't done as bad a job as made out, he really has made 3 mistakes as a GM and I can in part defend 2 of them, the Cal Peterson contract had merit, though it was a small sample size, the #'s were fantastic, it just didn't work out, and while I cant defend the trade for nor contract of Dubios at least you could see why they swung for the fences, it was a fantastical miss but Blake corrected exceedingly well in a 1 for 1, all that being said I can't defend not re-signing Roy, I don't care about Clarke's offense, he can't defend to save his life, and Edmunson will not replace the loss of Roy's defensive prowess and it's made worse when the contract difference is as small as it is but I'm not on team fire Blake... yet
My man, they have regressed every season. How can anyone say someone has done a good job when their job performance has an arrow on a graph steadily pointing south?
@@Vdoom777 how do you figure 3 seasons ago they were expected to be a lottery team, they've made the playoffs 3 years in a row posting literally the 3 best consecutive seasons in club history averaging over 100pts per season(99,104,99 avg approx 101.6) they've lost to EDM 3 times in a row in the playoffs, I'll remind you the Oilers have lost to the cup Champs 3 seasons in a row, it sucks but the opponent sure ain't no pushover, I don't like the downgrade from Roy to Edmunson, especially at that contract, as I said Blake's biggest mistake from my perspective, but it is time to let the kids play (they're finally healthy), and I don't think the fowards group is as big a downgrade Jeanotte was necessary and Foegle does have a solid history and if they get progression from Akil, Turc, Laferriere, and QB as i expect it could potentially be a big upgrade just need the D to hold up
@@rickyhazel1030 you make a decent point in that they went from a lotto team to a playoff team but Blake spent much in cap money and draft capital to build a team and then there was the emergence of Kempe which had nothing to do with Blake so he was a bit lucky but when a guy comes to you and shows you a graph of how much he spent and the jagged red arrow is tumbling downward steadily back to it's origins then you would look at him and say: no, sorry. We will go with another candidate.
LOL!!!
Faber was incredibly hard to see go, especially for a one dimensional albeit dynamic offensive talent like Fiala.
Having Faber for the next 10-15 years patrolling the blue line could have been dynamic.
5.5 mil for tmac? This is just another reminder of what a disaster Blake and his cronies are. Happy 2 year anniversary.
The handwriting is on the wall that Luc and Blake will be jettison because there are smarter people than them in building up a championship contender, and these two have had way too many free easy passes in ineffective decisions and wasting cash.
It doesn’t make sense for ownership to employ former Kings because the relationship is too cozy and biased.
The Kings reputation with the Canadian and East Coast hockey media writers and analysts is very poor. The Kings are frequently trashed on NHL radio. The trash talk always centers on lousy ownership and Blake and Luc.
