  • Out of Touch

    These guys spend more time talking about themselves than they do the Kings. They have the most archaic,obnoxious and unoriginal opening theme song/old man screaming ever! Early last season one of the men in this podcast said “Akil Thomas would never be an NHL’er.” If you’re looking for a good Kings Podcast, go to All The Kings Men. Don’t waste your time with these fools.
