Dwight King Appreciation Thread

[Raccoon Jesus]

Thank you for the memories. All the trollfaces, tractor rides with the Cup, setting the team WCF goal scoring record, and all the hard work.

Cheers.

Thanks for killing St. Louis. And the smile was creepy as **** but you helped change the culture here and for that I appreciate you, but your time here was up. Happy trails cowboy King.

Dwight King is going to skate his way to Montreal. He is expected to arrive there by 2045.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Thanks for being so good.

Thanks for sitting on Lundqvist during the finals and scoring a goal.

I can't remember against which team it was, but thanks for that time for deflecting a goal off your ass. It was great.

Easy whipping boy because it was frustrating to see him roam up and down the ice and not use the body. When he decided to do so (playoffs), he was an extremely effective player. Unbelievable 2012 WCF.

The thing I liked about him the most was that the puck didn't seem to go in to the Kings net very often when he was on the ice. Didn't necessarily go in the other team's net often either, but he was/is a very responsible player.

Everyone who was a part of the championships will always be special: especially those that were part of the first one. I hope he does well in Montreal and gets himself a nice paycheck moving forward.

Gonna miss you ;,(

Thanks for everything DK. Best era the Kings have ever known.

He stepped up and fought Ryan Reeves, nobody expected that, it took guts to do it. He add size and puck control to the team. The Stoll, Lewis, King line dominated St.Louis during the the Kings playoff run.

so no Budaj appreciation thread but this?

Hate seeing guys from the two Cup teams moving on, but that's life.

Thanks Dwight, you'll always be part of that Kings group that means a lot for bringing us something (twice) that many of us wondered if we'd ever see in our lifetime.

Where is the Tom Gilbert appreciation thread?

This is a joke, right?

I've railed on King numerous times but, c'mon now, this is a pretty ridiculous statement.

Budaj helped to keep the Kings in a playoff race.

King helped the Kings win two Cups.

If you don't like the guy, steer clear of the appreciation thread. If you think Budaj deserved one, then start it.

Thank you King for the memories and the Two Cups you helped bring to LA.Good luck

It's been a slice. Au revoir big fella.

classics!

anyone have the gif / jpg of him riding in that farm wagon thing with the cup in back? lol

 

[Fishhead]

Enjoy the payday, Dwight!

The impact he and Nolan had in 2012 was significant, they were one of the things that got the ball rolling. Always got honest play from him, can't ask for much more than that.

Feel free to start it instead of moaning in here.

Gonna use that as my avatar thru the end of the year

Dwight King is an honest, hard-working big guy who would go into the corners and has good hands.

His name is on the Stanley Cup twice and he contributed to the Kings victories. He and Jordan Nolan were the fresh players up from Manchester who gave us the boost we needed to win the Kings' first Stanley Cup.

May he be blessed with good health as well as continued and increased success in Montreal.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Hot Damn! Never noticed it was pulled by 2 horses...crazy ****
Darryl should be in the back seat...and Chris Sutter, probably.

 

[LAKings88]

Thanks for being a good soldier. Best of luck DK.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Happy trails Dwight. You got more flak than you deserved.

 

[AlphaBravo]

I was shocked when I heard on the radio that King got traded. It was a deal that had to be made since we were going to resign him, and its time to get away from players like him. But still a shock nonetheless. Good luck King!
