Episode Notes
Jim Hiller, head coach of the LA Kings, joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on 100% Hockey on a rare day off during a packed stretch of games. Hiller gives a detailed look at the Kings’ surprising split between their strong road play and their struggles at home — the complete inverse of last season — and explains why finding balance has been such a challenge early on.
He touches on the mix of young players and veterans in the lineup, what the group does to reset on off days, and how the ultra-tight Pacific Division has elevated expectations and intensity on a nightly basis. Hiller provides a clear, inside look at the Kings’ day-to-day operations and what he believes will help the team turn the corner at home.
