Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Mac is in the dumps and will be plumbing new depths of radio apathy. A few more days left to go until he leaves, possibly forever, and his last love has gone down the toilet. His emotional swings during this Kings series and playoffs as a whole point to him being insufferable today. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong....I hope I'm wrong. He's got nothing left and is watching the clock...................................put two and two together, folks.

WHO CARES.

i couldnt believe the amount of angst i heard in the 8am hour this morning from meatball listerners.... blaming oduya, leddy, crawford etc.... maybe it's because i am a bandwagon fan, but i was disapointed but accepting that they lost to a good team. It was still an enjoyable series to watch and I dont see any reason why this core can't be a contender next year.

As soon as Zawaski starts second guessing Q, which will probably be right away, I'm out. He has been brutal on twitter lately, especially after the Hawks lose.

Q should be criticized for some of the moves he made throughout the series. He kept Handzus with Kane early in the series and he played bollig and versteeg even though he would play them for 2 minutes a game where they contributed nothing. Still, he played Bollig and Versteeg yesterday 3 minutes and Handzus 8, rolled 3 lines throughout the 3rd period just like game 6 (fine it worked), but in OT after an icing, he throws out Handzus and Versteeg? What? Zus loses the faceoff, Kings go down the ice and score. The national media questioned it as well. They should.

Zus looked very much like the old man he is this series. Caught lighting in a bottle last year, but I think he is very likely done.

Should be an interesting show today. Not sure if the weather will ruin the outing or not.

There is nothing wrong with second guessing a coach, especially after a tough series loss, but all Jay wants to do is pound Q, and it gets old. This isn't Wanny, Bevington, or Vinny, this is a HOF coach.

What's wrong with saying the Hawks fell a bit short to a tremendous team?

You're right. They blew 3 leads in a game 7 on home ice, can't knock the coach on that.

It just feels gross calling the Kings a tremendous team after they dogged the regular season even worse than the Hawks did and lost nine playoff games. The Hawks weren't great this year, but still very good, and they could have won that series with tighter defense, better puck control, and yes, goaltending. The Gaborik and Martinez goals were embarrassments on the level of the two Boedker winners from 2012.

Jay is not a good speaker. He sounds terrible.

The Kings were trying to win, too. Sometimes your best isn't enough. What is it about this town, where the finger always gets pointed at the coach first?

If Quick is elite, so is Crawford. I didn't see an elite goalie this series, or last series against Anaheim, or against San Jose. I guess he takes the playoffs off while all their scorers take the regular season off; Team Tremendous couldn't crack 200 goals on the year.

Its not this town. Its this country and planet.
