Luc-ifer: dark lord with white hair

[KINGS17]

It's like some Scooby Doo shit. Now we know who the real villain is!

He would got away with it too, if it wasn't for fans like us.

 

[apadilla]

This is cued up to the part where Luc talks straight out of his ass. This actually could be used to commit him - its that delusional

Tragic. I started watching, and was immediately put into a trance listening to Rob and Luc. When I finally snapped out of it, it was over. Did anyone ask Rob that if he had to do it over, would he still of made the 1st and Faber for PLD trade? Wait, Rob probably would of just said "well, I'll have to get back to you on that." So, nevermind.

 

[apadilla]

More insanity from the source

Tragic. This means as I suspected, management is okay with the Kings being continuously pushed around, and there will be no trade made for a bigly body (aka Kostin) to crash the net, or at least stand if front (of the other team's) net, and sometimes getting mad, and punching an opponent in the face when liberties are taken.

 

[Choralone]

Until he shows he can do anything else of value, that should be PLD's role: stand in front of the net, take all the physical abuse, get hit by pucks, and wave his stick around until the goalie goes nuts.

 

[Bandit]

Stop going to games. All season ticket holders cancel.

This is the only thing that the fans can do.

 

[LeftKinger]

f*** this

I’ll be very happy if PLD takes endless amounts of abuse next year.

Saying the team is making progress is a bold position to take when they just barely squeaked into the playoffs due to a very unexpected win streak in the first few weeks of the season and won fewer playoff games than the last two seasons.

And a fired coach. And a strapped cap limit. And a 5 game exit to the same fn team.

 

[YP44]

Remember when he made the team come out of a castle?

I did not mind that. Remember when the oilers skated out from an oil rig? haha

By Luc's theory, you could say that they were "right there" in getting swept. One game won in OT -- lucky to have won that game (almost seemed like Edm wasn't fully into that game and was expecting to cruise with less effort).

Or even "right there" in missing the playoffs and being a Lottery team.

Exactly

The delusion is real

This was the Kings front office an hour before each playoff game

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Luc Robitaille is absolutely the main villain and anyone paying attention to his palace coup in 2017 saw as much.

You either die a hero, or live long enough to be the villain. Luc Robitaille's time with the Kings should have been over long ago.

I’d expect more insight of them from acid — maybe a crack pipe instead?

I think the poster child for hallucinogens' and the warped of the world that they give somebody was John Lennon

Listen to the song Imagine


Then read up about what kind of person Lennon REALLY was

You Don't Have to 'Imagine' John Lennon Was Abusive

To celebrate the anniversary of the Beatle’s beloved album "Imagine," we recount some of the terrible things the famous asshole did during his life.

www.vice.com

Starting with his first marriage, to Cynthia Powell, whom he impregnated while she was renting his childhood bedroom in Liverpool during the Beatles' Hamburg years, Lennon did many things that can only be classified as classically bad. According to the Lennons' housekeeper, Dorothy Jartlett, in a recently discovered letter written 50 years ago, the years following the birth of their son, Julian, saw Lennon as an absent father who would criticize and even smack the sensitive Julian for things like having bad table manners. (Actually, Jartlett said, "Julian's table manners were, if anything, better than average.") Throughout the marriage, Lennon slept with other women and would leave drugs "lying around the house." Things came to a head when he drunkenly told Cynthia about his affair with the Japanese artist Yoko Ono. Soon after Ono revealed she was pregnant, Lennon's divorce was finalized at the end of 1968.

He admits to hitting women—"any woman"—and explains, "That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace."

Although Ono was mocked and despised for supposedly destroying the Beatles' floppy-haired camaraderie, it was Lennon who would make her accompany him to both band practices and the bathroom

Sure the great philosopher, Rick James, was correct in saying that "Cocaine is a hell of a drug" but hallucinogens can really paint a uptopia that isn't there and no one else can see. Look no further than the Kings front office

To summate:

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

I wonder if the Oilers bloggers are like “you know….that one win didn’t make difference in the series so I’m gonna call it a one-loss sweep!”

Playoffs are scored like boxing. Every stinking round might be decided by a razor thin edge, but if you lost all 12 rounds, no, your ass got blown out.

Edmonton routed the Kings.

[Nasti]

Yes, there was progress. For Edmonton.

 

[johnjm22]

Blake and Luc are like politicians trying to get re-elected and they have to sell you on how good the economy was under them.

The only progress that happened this season was Byfield. I don't see progression anywhere else.

Record was worse.
Lost in 5 games in the playoffs.
Coach got fired.
Special teams were even worse in the playoffs this year.
The big move (PLD) was a disaster.

 

[All The Kings Men]

Lost in ... the playoffs

That's the only "progress" that really matters.

The Kings fired a coach in 2012 and had a high profile acquisition be a total non-factor for more than an entire season (but scored a pivotal goal)
The Kings had a bunch of players put up record seasons in 2017-18 but got swept

You can hunt and peck through every season for positives and negatives

This is why I keep harping on Goodhart's Law

You don't win playoff series through measuring the categories you progressed in

You win playoff series by winning playoff games

 

[DoktorJeep]

if you’re measuring progress at this point, you’re wandering in the desert of moral victories. It’s funny how all the talk of confidence got chucked as soon as the season ended. Why isn’t Rob talking about confidence as the next summer project for whomever he saddles with the coaching gig?

Now that the players couldn’t find their confidence, the fans are told to focus on progress. We’re just skipping right past the need for the fans to be more confident. This new trope of the retooled system is what we’ll be fed for the most part over the next several months.

And for the sliver of fans who know the names of the kids, they’ll get thrown some bones. Now the QB has shown the Kings don’t 100% suck at drafting and developing, the media mouthpieces are given the ok to fluff kids for spots on the big club. So that’s part two of the hopium / copium koolaid we’re about to guzzle.

It wasnt acid it was Loco Ono.. he admitted it was her writings that gave him the idea for the song..utopian / marxist idealism... his song Revolution was a much better message to me

 

[bland]

Honest to God, I would rather listen to The Monkees than The Beatles
