Spring Cleaning – Los Angeles KingsThe Los Angeles Kings reached the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs as the second Western Conference Wild Card but were quickly swept by the Colorado Avalanche in the opening round. While making the postseason appeared to be a positive step, a closer examination revealed a team with significant flaws that barely survived the regular season. Neil Smith and Vic Morren discuss the coaching turmoil, declining offensive production, and major rebuilding challenge now facing General Manager Ken Holland as he attempts to return one of the NHL's marquee franchises to true contender status.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Kings qualify for the playoffs as the second Wild Card before being swept by Colorado in four games. Neil and Vic discuss the expectations entering the season after Ken Holland's veteran-heavy offseason additions, including Corey Perry, Joel Armia, Cody Ceci, and Brian Dumoulin, raised questions about the age and direction of the roster.[00:01:00] Neil reflects on Ken Holland's third NHL general manager position, explaining why Los Angeles represents the greatest challenge of his career after successful runs in Detroit and Edmonton. Unlike those situations, Holland inherits a roster with significant holes rather than an established championship core.[00:01:45] The discussion turns to the coaching carousel. Jim Hiller begins the season under heavy scrutiny after questionable playoff decisions the previous year before being dismissed on March 1. Interim coach D.J. Smith finishes the season, but Neil believes Holland will likely hire his own permanent bench boss this offseason.[00:03:00] Despite losing Kevin Fiala for the season after the Olympics and changing coaches late in the year, the Kings somehow rally to earn a playoff berth. Neil and Vic describe the finish as "smoke and mirrors," helped as much by Nashville and San Jose fading as by Los Angeles improving its own play.[00:04:00] The panel examines some alarming team statistics. The Kings finish with one of the NHL's worst home winning percentages, rank near the bottom of the league on both the power play and penalty kill, score the fourth-fewest goals in the NHL, and struggle mightily in overtime and shootout games.[00:05:00] Offensive regression becomes another major concern. Adrian Kempe remains productive, but Quinton Byfield, Andrei Kuzmenko, Alex Turcotte, and Alex Laferrière all fail to provide the secondary scoring needed to support the club's top players throughout the season.[00:06:00] Neil suggests the Kings may have actually benefited more from missing the playoffs than being swept in the opening round, as a higher draft position could have accelerated the rebuilding process. Instead, Los Angeles exits early without significantly improving its long-term outlook.[00:06:30] The retirement of longtime captain Anže Kopitar creates another major offseason challenge. Neil and Vic discuss potential successors, including Drew Doughty and Adrian Kempe, while emphasizing the enormous leadership void left by one of the greatest players in franchise history.[00:07:00] Looking ahead, the Kings enter the 2026 NHL Draft with nine selections, including two second-round picks and two sixth-round picks. The organization also projects to have approximately $3.6 million in salary cap space before the league's July cap increase.[00:07:45] Los Angeles' unrestricted free agents include Andrei Kuzmenko, Scott Laughton, Mathieu Joseph, Jeff Malott, Jacob Moverare, and goaltender Phoenix Copley. Neil believes Scott Laughton is the veteran most likely to return because of the style of game Ken Holland values.[00:08:15] Restricted free agent Brandt Clarke headlines the organization's contract negotiations. Neil questions whether the young defenseman will command more money than the Kings are willing to pay and suggests Holland could consider moving him if the right trade package becomes available.[00:09:00] The episode concludes with the enormous task awaiting Ken Holland. Between hiring a permanent head coach, replacing Kopitar's leadership, improving special teams, increasing offensive production, and reshaping the roster, the Kings face one of the busiest and most important offseasons in the NHL.
The LA Kings have a number of decisions to make in the offseason of 2026. A number of players need new contracts and pivotal positions need to be addressed including that of Head Coach. Zach Dooley and Jesse Cohen sit down for a look at the most pressing issues facing the Kings and the driving forces that will direct their upcoming decisions.

1 Hour and 15 Minutes With David Nasternak and Alex Drain This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1 Enjoy your retirement, Anže Kopitar. Kopitar was one of the most consistent and underrated players of his era. The Avs swept the Kings but lets recap some closer NHL matchups (NOT Sabres vs Bruins). The Oilers are underperforming with their star power, there are some fundamental issues within the program. Anyways, who's back for Michigan? Is Hage the favorite for the Hobey Baker award? There will be so much talent and you hope everyone can find their own niche because there's only one puck. Perron's still on the spreadsheet until he isn't. Garrett Schiftsky is going to be a dude going into next year. Slot Cole McKinney in as your 4th line center. Jack Nesbitt and Cameron Reid are coming in from the OHL. Expect JP Hurlbert to come in from the WHL. All four lines have depth and competition opportunities. Segment 2 Projecting the 2026-2027 defensive roster. Need Henry Mews to take on a huge role, but can he be an elite defenseman? Ben Robertson, Asher Barnett, Dakoda Rheaume-Mullen, and Drew Schock will give the team an unusually high amount of depth. Michigan might add one or two more players on defense to round out the roster. Expect Jack Ivankovic to remain the starter at goalie but Stephen Peck has at least earned some starts. This team should be stacked going into next season, but this time with more maturity. MUSIC NHL on ESPN Theme "We'll Meet Again" -- Vera Lynn Ice Hockey (NES) theme

A controversial finish in Anaheim headlines the episode, as the Ducks’ apparent OT winner crossed the goal line but lacked definitive video proof, reigniting calls for puck-tracking technology. However, Edmonton’s inability to hold leads and close out games remains the bigger issue, with concerns also mounting about Connor McDavid’s health and usage. Tampa Bay evened its series with Montreal behind two third-period goals from Brandon Hagel in a physical, back-and-forth matchup that feels destined for seven. The Colorado Avalanche swept Los Angeles to mark the official end of Anze Kopitar’s storied career, leaving the Kings facing key roster questions despite some core pieces in place. Carolina’s sweep of Ottawa was tighter than it looked, with four one-goal games and strong contributions from inexperienced Sens defenders amid injuries, reinforcing optimism about their future. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh staved off elimination after making a goaltending switch to Artūrs Šilovs, but offensive struggles continue and Philadelphia faces a major decision with young star Matvei Michkov likely sitting out Game 5.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Later (26:10), the guys look back on how the Raptors evened their series with the Cavaliers and debate how far this team can go in the playoffs. They discuss Toronto's ability to win without major offensive contributions from their stars, the keys for Game 5, James Harden's rough series so far, and LeBron James continuing to defy father time.

Predsednica republike Nataša Pirc Musar je ob dnevu upora proti okupatorju dopoldne položila venec k spomeniku Osvobodilne fronte v Rožni dolini v Ljubljani in ob tem opomnila, da svoboda in demokracija nikoli nista samoumevni. Ob prazniku sta državljane nagovorila tudi predsednik vlade in predsednik Državnega zbora. Čas je, da interese ljudi postavimo pred politiko, je v poslanici zapisal Zoran Stevanović, premier Robert Golob pa je v svoji poslanici pozval h krepitvi zaupanja, potrpljenja, spoštovanja in povezovanja. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Iran še naprej nezainteresiran za pogajanja o jedrskem programu - Evropska unija podaljšala sankcije proti Mjanmaru zaradi kršitev človekovih pravic - Hokejist Anže Kopitar v Los Angelesu končal bogato kariero
0:00 - The Avs won in LA last night and they now lead the series 3-0. Josh Manson left with an apparent injury, but aside from that, it was an awesome night all around. What can we expect in Game 4? LA knows the series is all but done. Are they gonna go down swinging and try to beat the heck out of the Avs? Especially since it could be Kopitar's last-ever game in a Kings sweater. 14:10 - In his postgame presser yesterday, our old friend Jaden McDaniels said just seeing the Nuggets motivates them. They see the name on the front of the jersey and they want to beat those guys. What motivates the Nuggets?31:40 - Man, do we need it today. It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

The boys are back for a fifth season! Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee catch up before kicking off the new year with the biggest storyline heading into the season: Connor McDavid's uncertain future with the Edmonton Oilers. They discuss what the superstar needs to see to stay, whether the goaltenders in Edmonton play a role in his decision, and whether the Oilers will consider a trade at any point this season. Then, they get into Kirill Kaprizov turning down an NHL-record contract, Anže Kopitar's final season, the chances McDavid is thinking Toronto in 26-27, and why a Sidney Crosby trade makes sense for both Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
