The Curious Case of Tyler Toffoli

One of big issues for a fan base dealing with the Los Angeles Kings is one of narrative.

Mostly this is because the mass of media covering the Kings isn’t overly critical. They tend not to pick players apart every day. Patience is preached in tough times. The ole Brooklyn Dodgers’ “Wait till next year!” motto has been frequently invoked.

The honeymoon has largely been in effect since that magical playoff run in 2012. It’s lasted through two coaching changes, a captain’s change, two seasons of missing the playoffs, two others where only one victory combined was produced, overuse of rental players, and an inability to score goals.
