## Resource

The Los Angeles Kings suffered a disappointing first-round exit in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, getting swept by the Colorado Avalanche. Despite a promising start to the season, the Kings struggled with inconsistency, leading to head coach Jim Hillers dismissal. General manager Ken Holland remains undeterred by criticism of his trades, particularly the acquisitions of Cody Ceci and Brian Dumoulin. This marks five consecutive first-round exits for the Kings, raising questions about the teams future and Hollands strategic decisions.
