CROW LOOKS TO MAKE KINGS EAT CROW

Tonight will be Marc Crawford’s first game coached against the last team to pink slip him.

Crow was let go after two seasons of mostly disappointing results - the Kings missed the playoffs both years. They never could figure out their goaltending issues and Crawford, to his credit, admitted he tried to change too many aspects of the Kings structure both on and off the ice. It wasn’t pretty.

For the record, LA missed the playoffs again last year and hasn’t been in the postseason since 2002 – four head coaches ago.
