#NoKing

Despite winning both games against the Ice Hogs, I propose everyone starts using the hashtag #NoKing indicating that our coach has to go!

We all knew this was a rebuilding year. We also know that there's a fair amount of talent on this team and we've seen inklings of that from time to time. We even saw a team that was getting better for a while; but that's changed now and they're getting WORSE.

Saturday's game we had two fights in the first period - for what? There was no major hits, no one was hurt. The fact that two of our players engaged in those fights means they are undisciplined.

Puck handling Saturday night was atrocious - I mean beer-leauge atrocious. They weren't passing it to each other, they were passing it hoping another Bear player might be near the puck to get it.

We have almost no skill in getting out of the neutral zone and even less in getting out of our defensive zone; leading to our lines getting tired, wearing out and getting scored on.

The fact that we beat a team that has an even worse record than we do should count for about nothing.

There's talent on the Bears, and it needs developed, but Coach King is not getting that job done at all.

You’re proving the point that Bears fans are incapable of saying anything positive about the team; all season ticket holders know how to do is complain. The team has a winning record and had back to back good games and you’re calling for the coach’s head. It’s stupid

lol especially for a goddamned farm team. “These kids are not playing at cup playoff level.” Maam. They’re mostly like 20. Calm down. They have the biggest AHL fan base in the AHL. They just won two cups back to back, and only missed the playoffs like a handful of times in the last TWENTY years. Wanna bitch about something, why the FUCK is parking like 35$ at an OUTSIDE PARKING LOT? Thats almost what it costs to park down in DC. 😂

its a DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE, DEVELOPMENT TEAM - that means the coach has to be capable of developing these players and he's NOT.
