Kings Article: Kings To Hold News Conference Thursday At 4 p.m.

[KopitarFAN]

I speak full Sutter now, can understand him completely

Me too.

Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but at least i'm not the only one.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Surprised Jim Hill didn't ask any of them about the Lakers' struggles this season. "You guys struggled in the regular season last year. What advice would you give the Lakers?"

 

[Shootmaster_44]

I'm going to put this out there now, if anyone has an extra replica banner and replica ring, I'd love them. Of course, nobody on here will part with these, but if you find some at the game nobody wants I would be forever grateful. Also, I'd love a program from opening night. If anyone can hook me up, let me know.

 

[topliner967]

Was that Hammond? Does he still cover hockey?

 

[TwzKing]

Rich hammond sighting

 

[bobafettish*]

its great they are giving money to charity but did it really need a press conference.

 

[Fishhead]

I'm hoping Matt Greene asks a question

 

[topliner967]

Face time.

 

[etherialone]

P.U.

THAT was a presser worth missing.

25 players at training camp.

No time for tryouts.

5 lines and 4 sets of D for camp.

(all DL quotes)

Oh, DS is one of my favorite press conference coaches of all time. I did a spit take when the NPR girls question was answered. DS has the best facial reaction to press questions.

 

[TwzKing]

Whats with dean grilling Patrick O'Neil... not that im complaining

 

[Telos]

Well that was forgettable, but it was good to see them all again, know that Dean still has the company checkbook, and I loved that opening video with Bob's call at the end. Can't wait for that to hit Kings Vision or Youtube.

 

[damacles1156]

Best news is AEG still has the check book open.

Same here.

Yeah, the press is the whole point of it...

 

[Scottkmlps]

Same here.

Same here as well.

 

[bobafettish*]

i never really understood the need to make announcements about giving money to charity, it comes off a little cheesey to me.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

When is the Ucks press conference, if they'll have one? I know it's Anaheim, but I'm just curious what the hell they will say. Maybe they'll make some Kings reference...

Press conference over after regrouping.

I hope it means he will be back for the LAKingsInsider... Not that Bob, Jim, Nick, and Daryl dont do a good job, but its just not the same.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Nope, he's still as the O.C. Register.

[Quattro]

got to feel bad for Rich. Went from covering the Kings epic Cup run to maybe the worst season in USC history - lol. Not that I care, I hate USC, but I feel sorry for Rich anyway...

 

[Randart]

Missed You Guys Alot!

Agree with Quattro, and the Ducks all in a row thing was great Ron!
Go Kings... wonder how many peats we will get to? hoping at least a 3 peat!

It would be interesting to know how much they give away annually in non-lockout years. I think the presser was all spin. I won't be happy with anything but a heavy discount on something like Centre Ice or Gamecentre as well as no blackouts for the season, not charity giveaways, not discounts to little kids but something for the people who actually pay for everything.

I saw what some of the other teams were giving away, the Sabres are giving 50% off stuff in their store. Well that's great and all but it still means the fans have to pay for it. Give us something tangible.

The Kings are pretty good about giving stuff to their fans. I've bought all kinds of stuff during their yearly sales at huge discounts. The Kings really took care of their STH's last year, at least from a playoff ticket price standpoint. My seats for the cup final were $50. They could have made a killing off of us, when most of us would have gladly paid more, but they didn't. And while there was a substantial ticket cost increase this year, my seats have only went up a couple hundred dollars since the move into staples. As fans, we always want more perks, but I can't really complain about the Kings over the years.
