NorCal is always LA's enemy. You couldn't pay me to be on the same side as those ****heads.

San Jose has missed too many chances at this point. Vegas is gonna really have to f*** this up in the 3rd for them to have a chance. Flurry seems to have his confidence too. Not a good combo for SJ.

Looking no bueno for the Sharks after 40.

I got to work tomorrow so I’m gonna risk it and say I’m not gonna miss much and head to bed.

Looking forward to Canes/Caps tomorrow.
 
Really depressing to see how Boston was able to reload around their Cup team and the Kings immediately fell off a ****ing cliff.

Since their Cup in 2011, this is their playoff results:
Lost:
1st
Finals
2nd
missed
missed
1st
2nd

They also drafted well including having 5 firsts in 2 years, [thanks to our stupid GM's poor decisions trading ours] . One thing they didn't do was throw picks around like business cards at a convention trying to win. They got a second wave of guys coming up, we did not. Still, not making past the second round isn't something I'd be bragging about.

And the Kings young guys flopped (Toffoli and Pearson). Those two guys should've been 50 combined goals on the Kings 2nd line the last few years.

God I hate both teams. I have a small soft spot for the sharks since I used to work for them, but I just really don't want them to win. But man the Knights are annoying as ****. My fear is that who ever comes out on top of this series will go back to the finals.
 
Trading for Lucic was not taking a risk. Holding on to Mike Richards was not a risk. Re-signing Gaborik to a seeetheart retirement deal was not taking a risk. Signing a 35 year old Kovalchuk to a retirement contract was not a risk. This was poor management through and through. It’s amazing how incapable you are of just admitting the Kings have been poorly managed since 2014.

The Bruins won a championship, retooled correctly, and went right back to contention. The Kings won two championships, did not retool correctly, and just had their worst record in a decade.

Why is any of this controversial to you? You’re really criticizing me for wishing the Lombardi regime had properly retooled after 2014?

Yes I am criticizing you for hoping that Dean Lombardi blew up a team that literally just won a f***ing Stanley Cup. That is just hindsight bullshit, but if you think the Kings will be shit anyways for a long time, why not just follow the Bruins who retooled correctly into a couple of first round series wins for a while? Probably be better than complaining about shit that has already happened.
