I forgot which NHL player I read about who went to the KHL. He said they got paid in trash bags of cash every week. He said he was afraid to put the money in a bank so he peeled back the top of a closet door and hid the money in the void of the door. He said it was sketchy on so many levels he decided after one year to just come back to the US.

1000% disagree Kids should never be garrenteed a spot on the team period , Also Lewis is not coming back as Bernstien has stated Now my argument for signing Clifford let the leafs have there chance to resign it only resign if he don with the leafs. Clifford playsa honest shift and never coasts something that cant be said of carter brown quick hell sometimes kopitar. This is why he is needed to help show kids no matter what do your job
I’ve been researching the KHL for a project. The bags of money with “the taxes already take out” is just the tip of the iceberg.

If Petersen isn't ready to be an NHL starter by the 2021-22 season then the Kings have much bigger problems than wether or not Quick is available to be his mentor/tandem partner.

Its A Kingspiracy !
There will be better options for Seattle . Some good , younger goalies will be available. Hell, the rangers may let Hank go.

As far as I know, Matt Millar is still under contract as the Reign goaltending coach.
Had a buddy who played in the KHL, this article is tame compared to some of his stories.

We were right there
Man, we really did wreck the Sharks' lives for a few years there. No wonder they chest thump so hard about 2011 and 2016. Nothing else at all to hang on to.

And those 2 series victories by the Sharks mean absolutely nothing to me because they failed to cash in and make them count. The Kings made the Sharks historical footnotes in the worst way for them on the way to a second Cup. Lots of hockey folks remember the reverse sweep because it's etched in Stanley Cup lore. Do you know who remembers or cares about the Sharks 2011 and 2016 series wins vs the Kings outside of the respective fanbases? Wikipedia. Yep, those 2011 and 2016 victories are weighted equally in franchise history as the 2013 and 2014 Kings series victories, alright.

The only noteworthy thing about the Sharks beating us in 2011 was Thornton being a dick and sliding across the ice like he just won the cup

Blake Out of Hell III: Back in to Hell
To be fair, the 2013 series doesn't mean anything either except for bragging rights between the two fan bases: just like 2011 and '16.
At the end of the day, nothing remotely comes close to 2014 and nothing will for quite a long time: maybe ever. Not only do they have the embarrassment of choking the 3-0 lead, but they allowed the Kings to escape and eventually win a 2nd Cup.

F*** your ice cream!
I have personally never experienced that
In my experience they try to bring up the Sf Giants and more recently the GS Warriors

Hell, I wasn't even going to mention 2013 because the Kings didn't repeat. I only did because of the mentions of both 2011 and 2016 on the Sharks ledger. Even then, 2013 at least planted seeds for the crushing 2014 defeat.

So much good about 2014. Winning the 7th games against San Jose and Anaheim were the foundation.

That’s great news, it will get him on the ice and he continues to develop whilst we wait for NA season to start.

F*** your ice cream!
Beating Chicago and the Rangers were just as big for me.
Every round f***ing awesome

For sure, the Chicago series in the WCF might be the best playoff series played in the NHL in the last 20 years. The 2014 WCF was for the Stanley Cup, and everyone knows it. I had seats in a PR section for Game 5 against the Rangers in the end where every goal in that game was scored. Awesome, never will be forgotten experience.
It's nice to have the 2014 playoffs to mention whenever you run into San Jose and Anaheim fans. Shuts them down in a hurry.

Being at the 2014 Kings game 7 in Anaheim, I almost felt bad for ducks fans the last 2 periods. It was like the neighborhood bully coming into their house on their birthday with all their friends/family around and he takes their birthday gifts right out of their hands and walks right out the door laughing.
