Lost Angeles, Ca
What in the hell happened to the Los Angeles Kings over at Staples Center on Tuesday night?
What an embarrassment to all of the "good people" of Los Angeles to ACTUALLY had to witness one of the biggest "meltdowns" in NHL Playoff HISTORY.

Don't get me started. I love the Kings, but tonight's performance was totally UNACCEPTABLE. Kind of like the Clippers for the past 25 years...but WORSE!
Basically the LA Kings turned a four goal lead into a 6-5 loss to the Sharks.
Speechless. Just watch these TWO "low light" clips from the LA Kings "PR" Department and then go out a body check the nearest person sitting next to you, even if they are now sound asleep.
WTH?
The most truthful quote of the night came from LA Kings Head Coach Terry Murray after the collapse of this NEW CENTURY in all of professional hockey.
“That’s as bad as it gets in the second period for sure. They scored a power-play goal. They are a very good team on the power play. They have been all year long and I know they’ve been spending time on their couple of days off here working on it and they executed it and got a power-play goal there in the second period. But outside of that we did this to ourselves with our puck management and whatever you want to call it. Turnovers, not getting it in when you’re supposed to get it in deep, and trying to do way too much we get caught out for extended shifts. There are guys out there in the second period for two and a half minutes where we couldn’t get a line change especially with our defensemen. So you’re exhausted, you’re getting rattled, you start doing things that are very odd characteristic obviously and now they’re playing the game they want.”
