The Royal Rant

Tell the F-ing Truth

In this episode of The Royal Rant, Ryan and Tim dive deep into the current state of the Los Angeles Kings, reflecting on the team's struggles and the disappointing season thus far. They discuss the lack of offensive production, with the Kings sitting at the bottom of the league in goals scored, and the challenges faced by key players like Adrian Kempe and Quinton Byfield. The hosts express their frustration with the coaching decisions and the overall direction of the franchise, questioning the team's strategy and the apparent lack of accountability from management. They also highlight a few positives, such as the emergence of young players like Brandt Clarke and the contributions of veterans like Corey Perry, but ultimately convey a sense of disillusionment with the team's performance and future prospects.
