Most painful win of the season. LA 8 EDM 2

I get that, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that none of those kids on the ice for Edmonton tonight were even born back then. Just an ugly, ugly thing to have to witness.

True but teams have histories and those things carry on throughout time. I mean it is part of my experience of being a fan of the Kings among many others. To me it is an example of what comes around going around. We sucked for so long and especially back then that it has become ingrained in my memory and what I think about whenever we play the Oilers. Sure none of those kids from tonight were around for those games but guess who was? Craig MacT and Kevin the toolbag Lowe and a few other former Oilers as well. It all is part of the experience.

Seeing this image makes me LOL every time... I guess Edmonton fans don't feel the same.

Because that's the face they have as well watching that crap.
 
I hope the guys being classy in victory means Edmonton doesn't come out wanting to kick the **** out of us when we play them up there :laugh:

Glad we played hard and respectfully through the end of the game, props to Edmonton for still going hard, they could easily have shelled up and just played passive D but they stuck to their system as messed up as it is. Feel bad for a lot of those kids, but you can see some of the latent talent, it just has ZERO mentorship.

Yakupov cutting to the net like a god damn torpedo tells me a lot about his character.

They should hulk out on Calgary.

Yakupov has had the same problem since Jr hockey. The guy doesn't understand how to play a team game, he is on the wrong side of the puck every single shift.

Someone like yakupov needs a Terry Murray coach early, it's too late now, Yak has all the bad habits.
 
Felt for Bunz after Gaborik's second

Would have liked to save the 8 goal beat down for Vancouver/Calgary/San Jose, but I'll take the offensive explosion and hope this gets the monkey off a few guys backs.
 
What Tyler Bunz is to the Oilers, Adam Hauser was to the Kings.



I came here to post that exact same video.

As I was watching Bunz tonight I couldn't help but think of Hauser. That 10-1 game turned out to be Adam's first and last NHL game. The same will probably be true of Bunz.

Ironically, both Hauser and Bunz have the exact same NHL save percentage (.750).
 
Doughty apparently lost his tooth in the Chicago game, to go along with Matt Greene's second black eye. Sheesh, they really kicked us in, no wonder we were dead at the end of the trip

That Sabres team was stacked in 2005-06, and the Kings, not so much. They ended up losing in the Conference Finals in 7 games to the eventual Cup Champs, the Hurricanes.

The box score for that 10-1 drubbing is quite comical,

Seven Sabres had a multi-point game, and that lineup was pretty stacked.

Hell, compare the 2006 Kings to the 2012 Oilers, it is a miracle that the Kings didn't finish dead last that season (they ended up with the 11th pick and that turned out to be the last season for Dave Taylor/Andy Murray).
