The LA Kings Wanted To Get Off To A Fast Start This Season, They Haven't

from Curtis Zupke of the LA Times,

Jonathan Quick fished the puck out of his net and sent it down the ice with a fling that showed his disdain.

This was only after the Kings gave up their third goal. Then came a fourth goal, and a fifth and a sixth. In a game they could have used to get back to their defensive identity, not only did the Kings fail spectacularly Thursday, they drifted into disinterest.

“First of all, it’s embarrassing,” Alec Martinez said after a 7-2 loss to the New York Islanders at Staples Center.

“I think we have some soul-searching to do. I think what happened there at the end was unacceptable. It’s not about a guy in particular, it’s all of us. We’ve got to figure some things out.”

The Kings are 2-4-1 this season.

Below, watch the game highlights and John Stevens after the game.
