For those that tuned into Kings Talk last night, Nick Nickson made a comment in response to the last caller's question in which he said,
Quote:

"Right now, with the position they're in, I think (The Kings) have to stay the course, keep the picks. But, next year's gotta be a turnaround year. Next year's gotta be a better year. Otherwise, I really think you have to re-assess what you're doing..."

One can argue what exactly he meant and who he was referring to when he said "you have to" but those are very frank comments made by a usually positive and optimistic Nick Nickson.
It's good to hear a show nowadays that's pretty frank and truthful in comparison with previous years where we'd hear the same "blue" answers to the same questions. (If you need an example look no further than last year's, "Cloutier's played....okay... for the past.....3 or 4 games.") It's nice to know we're not the only ones frustrated at the current state of the franchise.
Now, yes...I agree that The Kings should be better next year. Playoff, better? Or should The Kings take a run at John Tavares? Might as well, if we're not going to be in contention, right?
Also, If you listen to Kings Talk, listen out for Matt's (CBGB) call and listen to him cry about Blake. (JK, Matt)
But it was humorous to hear Nick and Daryl's lame efforts at trying to defend Blake's quotes.
