GDT: Game #67 : KINGS vs. MAPLE LEAFS - Thursday, 3/13/’14 @ 7:30 pm PDT

[Raccoon Jesus]

Looking at Phil Kessel you'd never think the guy was a world class athlete. He looks like some random dude you'd drink beers with at the local pub.

Kessel looks like the guy who kicks everyone's ass at foosball to the point no one wants to play him and he just sits there all day going "Come on guys!"

agreed

 

[Alternate Jersey]

That's what makes his so awesome. Dude looks like he rolls out of bed, sprays on some axe and pounds a bowl of Fruit Loops. Then he gets a hat trick and goes home to his Xbox.

love this, particularly the fruit loops part.

Dunno how I missed this. Gold.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Anyone else still have nightmares about the nearly 2 years of "Schenn for Bozak and a 2nd" trade proposals on the main board?

CooOOooOOooOOookie Crisp!

God I love having Phil, he's very fun to cheer for.

Oh god, that's exactly it

Yeah, the 2 years of [insert Toronto assets-Luke Schenn] for Brayden Schenn...Torment.

 

[Bandit]

You know what's a trip? Fast forward 25 years...

"Dustin Brown Legends Night"
"Anze Kopitar Legends Night"
"Jonathan Quick Legends Night"

I hope I live to see it.

Except those will be Jersey retirement ceremonies.

 

[johnjm22]

Less noteworthy, but I hear we're also going for a 100th consecutive sellout.

Interesting.

It's also the 20th anniversary of Gretzky scoring 802.

I don't think I've ever seen a Kings game with such a strange confluence of events.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I don't think Jim is gonna have dry eyes for the whole night.

And this game is against the franchise that we beat to get to our first SCF.

?????

 

[DocWest]

?????

1992-93

 

[Reclamation Project]

1992-93

Derp, I read that as "the franchise that we beat to get our first SC." Ignore more brain fart.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Oh thank God, the ceremony is done by Bob and not by Dave Joseph.

 

[Nefarious]

Oh thank God, the ceremony is done by Bob and not by Dave Joseph.

Indeed.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Damn, Jim. What could've been. Probably top 5 in goals in Kings history, barring a trade.

 

[kingsholygrail]

He was a what .8PPG player? Not bad at all.

Didn't know he started Tip-A-King.

He reminds me of Jay Cutler who plays quarterback for the Bears. You look at both and don't see world class pros, you see guys who look like they would be kegmasters at their frat parties.

 

[Legionnaire]

Gotta love Jim Fox.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Best speech from all the legends night. Loved it.

 

[kingsfan28]

Greene Pearson scratched. I guess when you play your best game as a pro you take a seat the following game.

Fox was outstanding during the celebration. Well done!

 

[BigBrown]

Nice job, Jim
