The idea of trading Spence is legit *crazy*. #LAKings were able to trade Faber, Walker, Grans, Durzi because they had Clarke & Spence. If Rob Blake strips it down to just Clarke this is no longer on RB but those above him that allow his incompetence to continue #GoKingsGo

So much to like about this goal from Kopitars shot to Byfields tip pass. But while Jordan Spence doesnt get an assist it happens because of him. Maintains possession, creates time & space, pass to Anderson rather than just going off the glass. #GoKingsGo โ€ฏโ€ฏโ€ฏ #LetsGoOilers
