I get that people want the team to be good. I have been watching the team since '76. I hate losing. I just know that nobody will give a damn about a win against the Ducks even a month from now. They will remember the season as a whole being miserable and the only victory at this point is having the best odds in this stupid draft and the lower we finish, the more we improve the chances even if it is by small percentage points and also, the less far they can fall if they go the other direction.

Wonderful, they can have a parade with floats for being one of the worst 5 teams in the NHL. Of course they want to win. I understand that. It's professional sports. They don't care about the draft pick as players but we as fans do so that is why the win means nothing. I think of this as a business at this point and the business side of this wants the best draft odds.

I'm completely indifferent to them trying in these games, or winning any games, but I'm not getting annoyed if they do. They'll finish where they finish, and then fate is in the hands of the lottery balls. They started the day in 30th, and end the day in 30th.

I agree, I am looking at is as a business at this point and we treaded water today so it is what it is.
 
sidenote: macdermid saw ONE shift after carter's goal - a goal created by macdermid's poke check in the neutral zone

that goal, mind you, was in the 2nd period

Dude, we f***ing get it. I'm pretty sure that everyone understands the concept of the lottery system and how wins will affect that, it's not exactly a complicated matter. What do you want from the fans on here if the Kings happen to win? To throw a fit? Write the GM? They played a couple of rivals and won a couple of games, the other tanking teams happen to win games sometimes too. Just let people enjoy themselves if they want to.

No player anywhere cares about fans. Not professional players anyway. Nor should they. And we don't care about players, or else we would give a damn about all the dog stuff, or whatever the reason is that Teddy Purcell is still hanging around. Players can stay if they're winning, and if not, we want to see their guaranteed contracts go away. If we could, we would get rid of guaranteed contracts as a concept. All business, no family. A lesson DL didn't learn.

Only problem for the players is they need paying customers to survive. We don't need to watch poorly played hockey to survive.

The players would be wise to care about the fans.
