Summary
The Los Angeles Kings, stuck in a five-year playoff drought, suffered a humiliating first-round sweep by the Colorado Avalanche. The teams struggles since their 2012 and 2014 Stanley Cup wins have been marked by losses to top teams and a lack of offensive punch. Analysts and fans alike call for a full teardown, with the loss of cornerstone Anze Kopitar this summer sealing the deal. The Kings must embrace the tank and rebuild for the long haul.
