Pre-Game Talk: 2014-2015 Opening Night Game 1 Sharks @ Kings - NBCSN

huh? Anyone who takes sports results personally needs psychiatric evaluation. My point was a parable about the future, not the past. But if it does bother you that the LA Bball teams lost, I have a number you can call.

You just made the same implication, that we are somehow supposed to be bothered by the results of baseball on this of all days.

Not hardly; I implied that people's utter conviction that they (their team of course) are the best and destined to win is foolish and usually disappointed.

 

[Bandit]

So are the sharks waiting for the outcome of this game to name their captain?

Well no crap, that's the nature of sports, 30:1. But here's a novel idea, it's our board, we can say what we want. Only the slightest level of objectivity is needed here for us. Call someone on this on the main board, and you might get somewhere.

Shark fans in our GDT? Ah, the regular season is finally here!

Put yourself in his shoes. If you rooted for SJ you would have to keep telling yourself that too....

It is, indeed... on!

(I've been waiting for months to use this one!)

Jake Muzzin is questionable for tonight, per hockey ops.

Was that Long Duk Dong in the video whaling a way with the bat?

Let's Do This!!

 

[scryan]

Watch out guys, I think he's distracting us..

Also, I hope the boys use the last banner night as motivation to get the 2 pts. I know it's as early as early can get in the season, but let's win on banner night please!

Dude we are playing the sharks for the first game of the season.
I hate to say it... but it WILL be a loss, because the sharks WILL win their first 8 games, then immediately return to .500 because that is just what they do.
On to the next cup

Un-official and I I wasn't a fan of it.

What is "hockey ops" ?

I've noticed Rosen saying "according to "hockey ops" in the last few weeks. I don't recall seeing that before.

They're not even revealing their starting goalie. Kings will be surprised for sure!

Banner raising usually results in flat play. SJ won't be happy after last season. Don't be upset if we earn an ball tapping.

Kings did that in 2013. won't be doing it this time around.

I get that but what does it mean and why does it seem to be new this year for his morning skate reports?

Do the kings have a new "hockey ops" department that feeds official info to reporters? Who makes it up?

If I didn't know how the book ended this would be a sad story for kings fans

Hey everyone, just wanted to briefly introduce myself. I'm a new hockey fan, as I'd never seen a game until the Winter Olympics a few months ago. I enjoyed watching Quick play and felt that he was the only player to show up for USA in the final two games. Loved his compete level. I decided to root for whichever NHL team Quick was on. That decision turned out pretty well

Anyways, banner raising game tonight against the sharks? Nice troll job NHL! I'm excited to watch a full season of hockey and have no idea how I've lived without it for so long. Go Kings!
