Did you type those last 2 sentences with a straight face?
That was the easiest part of the post.
See, here's the thing - everyone who criticizes on these boards, whether it's the team, player, or management, wants the Kings to do well.
People have different ideas to accomplish that. Such as integrating youth better, organizational direction decision, and hiring better advisors. Others like to lick boots and pretend they're smarter than the critics even though they don't have an original thought on anything substantial on the topic.
If you wanted to do research, my concerns about needing to fix the development and infrastructure stems back to the Lombardi era, when Kings17 and bland were big champions of trading Kopitar, Carter, etc.
I disagreed with them heavily, and sometimes still give them shit, but they know I respect the hell out of them, because they put themselves out there with an original thought with a genuine desire to make the team better.
So you can keep pretending you're a better fan because you don't have concerns. I hope the Kings do well. If they continue to succeed in spite of my concerns, I look forward to learning from it and evaluating at a new angle. Or, maybe they'll succeed and later on they'll address organizational shortcomings.
Either way, it's Kings hockey. I'll enjoy it, whether things go well or poorly. I am more prospect-focused anyway, and no matter how poorly the Kings do in the season, I look forward to the draft.
You defaulting to thinking I or others are not fans or "hoping the Kings lose" just shows how little you know. Instead of just enjoying the win, you went out of your way to start shit with others to try to ruin their enjoyment. Talk about douchey.
