On Sunday, General Manager Rob Blake
relieved both Head Coach John Stevens and Assistant Coach Don Nachbaur of their coaching duties with the LA Kings.
Yesterday, the Kings took to the ice for the first time with the Interim Head Coach Willie Desjardins and then met with the media to answer questions regarding the changes behind the bench.
The players were not shy at acknowledging the part they played in these changes.
"We're certainly responsible for it. We didn't play up to our potential and we know it and he lost the job because of it. We're talking about the reset button, that's the last resort and the last chance really for us to get it going and really not fall behind too deep,"
Kings Captain Anze Kopitar
said.
