In Los Angeles, it seems that the Kings have finally had enough — at least, on the management front.
On his way out is head coach John Stevens, who stood at the helm as the team entered what looked upsettingly (for them, at least) like a free-fall to start the 2018-19 NHL season. It took them a month to win four games — and while it took the Arizona Coyotes much longer last year, the difference was in the optics. Arizona looked like they had a fighting chance in nearly every game they played last October; this Kings lineup looked like they gave a small fraction of a shit at the very best.
