Dean Lombardi and Darryl Sutter go out for the same reason they came in.
They arrived to fix the Kings. They did that, the GM first, then the coach.
Then the Kings missed the playoffs twice in three years.. Their last playoff series win came when Alec Martinez jumped on a rebound that glanced like a pumpkin off Henrik Lundqvist’s pads, and soon all Kings’ gloves we)e off, and a second parade in 24 months was rolling downtown.
Never mind that the Kings won one playoff series from 1993 until 2012, from Wayne Gretzky until Jarret Stoll.
