Long live the Kings!
Great game! I really enjoyed it. I have to admit I was a little pessimistic about the Kings playing the Hawks, but I'm glad I was wrong. The Kings offense is finally scoring again, I love the way they were shooting more and attacking the slot rather than just passing . I wish they would play like that more often. Quick's play is still weak, hopefully he will find his game, until Quick does l think Bernier deserves to start more. Let's get a win streak going!!! GO KINGS!!

I love how winning a championship puts some people's expectations so high that they can't get excited over beating the best team in the league. Let's take this for what it is, a great win over a great team.

This is how I feel it goes with your favorite team. You want to win a championship. You win a championship you want to become a dynasty. You become a dynasty you want to become legends. You become legends you want to become the greatest team of all time. You become the GOAT and you expect to never lose a game ever again.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever get to the point when we are totally satisfied

How could Blake have known?
LOL, this coming from the guy who championed Ryan Smyth as Anze Kopitar's two-way mentor. The next time Ryan Smyth backchecks will be the first time.
And getting back to last nights game, I DVR'ed the Chicago broadcast and watched the game today, Pat Foley had some nice things to say about Colin Fraser. Fraser played 70 games for the Hawks in 09-10 and then became a healthy scratch in the playoffs, Foley praised Fraser for never making a peep and working just as hard in practice even though he knew he wasn't going to play, he called him a true pro.
Happy to see we have guys like this on the roster, and not guys like you know, Fraser was traded for.

You should have heard the radio interview Fraser did right after winning the cup in LA.
He said he didn't care if he had to go to Manchester, he wanted to work hard and reward the Kings for taking him injured and all.
Said Lombardi could have cut him loose and not played him at all last year.
I lost all respect for crybaby Smyth, I don't buy that for my family crud.
Guys like Fraser are willing to do what it takes to be in the lineup.
Fraser even told his wife "We may have to go to the minors again"

That description reminds me a lot of
In allot of ways yes.
My favorite memory of Luc's rookie year was right after his 20th goal an Edm reporter called him "a garbage man" for only picking up the garbage left in front of the net. That Luc wouldn't make it anywhere else but in L.A.
Both of them (LR and TT) knew/know where to find the seems for certain. If TT ends up as half the player that Luc was (is at least during pickup games) we are going to be a very happy team.

Who the f*** is Trevor Moore?
We are the best team in the league. I think this is the difference between me and the others here. After we got Carter, after the playoffs and this season as well, I have seen enough to justify my belief in this. Chicago just got a hot start because the season is weird. Now they've been beat by Anaheim and LA, which by itself proves nothing but when added to everything else, it's yet another fact that fits with the overall idea. The Kings are better.
We're not flawless though, we still have issues we have to work though with all of the players hurt.
And I don't think having high expectations of a team that won the Cup in the most dominant run in the history of the Cap era, brings back the entire roster and continues to play at a high level is a bad thing. Sometimes I feel like the fans, not all but a lot, still act like when the Kings beat a successful team, it's like cheering for a mentally handicapped kid who makes a basket.
I believe in this team. I have ever since they closed out Vancouver last year and I thoroughly predicted on HF that they would sweep St. Louis. This isn't the purple era anymore.

Insane release, scored a similar goal in the AHL this season. It was harder and almost from the blueline. I'm still not sold on his lateral movement. Going north and south is okay.

Yes he is a true 4th liner.
Hey I love Fraser but don't make him out to be something more than what 99.9% 4th line guys are willing to do to stay in the NHL.You can plug a Fraser on your team anytime without missing a beat.

Ethan and Trent Hunter say hi. Nether guy was willing to put in an effort in Manchester....
So I just named two , bet I can find more.

How could Blake have known?
The guy Fraser was traded for wasn't willing to play a 4th line role and made up some excuse about his kids so he could play a larger role on a garbage team, thus guaranteeing a bigger contract.
There are plenty of grade A ***holes and unprofessional players in the NHL.

Really? I kinda feel the opposite. We won last year, and now anything else is gravy. Would I like them to become a dynasty? Sure, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Trent Hunter is not a good example as he did go down to Manchester - also he was a 15 to 20 goal scorer for 5 years in the NHL and not considered a 4th line guy. As for Ethan Moreau what do you expect he was a 16 year NHL veteran so father time was ticking and the last thing he wanted to do is go back to the minors. I would say most people with that many years would rather retire then go to pasture. Next?

Well Sutter and Lombardi seem to like Fraser just fine. So both of our opinions don't mean anything.
Sutter continues to put him in the lineup.

People forget that. They think you can just plug anyone in and it works.
Plenty of people thought Penner was going to be a 35 goal scorer with Kopitar....
Richards remain a 70 point player...Quick to have the exact same season he had last year. ETC ETC.

For sure.
Let's be real; you're never going to have a superstar centering the 4th line. But that doesn't mean that all 4th-liners are the same. Fraser works hard, is solid defensively, and has enough vision to make plays happen. I don't think it is an accident that his line mates have been having great years, and there have been many times this season when I've noticed our 4th line having great shifts against the other team's top 6.
