Impeach the mayor.
But I think that he will finally be right on Williams. A broken clock is right twice a day.
We'll be back next year. Flames win 3 - 1

Impeach the mayor.

Someone asked what the Kings plan was and Sutter brought up the home closer and how they have to prepare to get a win against San Jose at home and Rosen more or less asked the same question. Sutter basically snapped at him and told him not to ask the same question.
Dustin Brown's play/contract worries me. This team went from having guys on amazing contracts (Brown, Williams, Stoll, Martinez, Muzzin) to having some pretty bad contracts in Brown, Richards and Greene.
I hope the long off-season helps Brown but wow this was a bad season for him. Hope he's not going to be in a downfall like Mike Richards. Also curious to know what Lombardi has to say about all of this.

Negative juju really went against the Kings this year....everyone wanted the Kings to miss it and I've seen a lot of concerned posts about Kings landing McDavid. Karma works in funny ways....it might just happen.
Holy Smokes! Wouldn't that be something! I don't care if it's 2% it would be worth not makin the playoffs.

We were right there
Yeah, and it's like that for many teams. It's sometimes just hard to see past the present! We'll be seeing some sort of random roster surprise pop up here and there too, I'm sure, someone like Mersch just showing up and wrecking shop.
He looked way faster this year but he just couldn't score. He still hit the same and was still decent defensively, but he just couldn't score. It's the weirdest thing.

Wow, Sutter giving it to Jon Rosen. Jeez, sad to see him frustrated like that and taking it out on the reporters. Maybe take out that frustration on your ****ing captain, or on yourself for putting Stoll and Richards in the lineup all the time when they don't deserve it.

It was a great run, but you could just sense after the VV thing that things were always a little dysfunctional. We all watched it all year. And in this day and age, it doesn't take much to miss the playoffs with the parity. It's a very fine line, no different than being down 0-3 to the Sharks last year was a fine line. To me, there are a lot of very goods teams each year in the NHL, and a lot of very good players do not win the Cup nor do a lot of very good teams. To take 2 of 3 these days is really something!!! Gone are the days where in about a 15 year period only 3 teams won the cup!! Don't quote my research. But you get the point! It's a cap era, teams stick to cores because they really have no other choice, and you hope like hell the wheels don't come off and you can ride some big time wave! The Kings will need to reinvent themselves, say goodbye to some great players, not rush anymore now to trade away the future, and we as fans can enjoy the climb of the next group!! Do hold on very much longer would be a big mistake, and we already have too many signings that had the feeling of everybody thinking it will last forever! Signing guys like Greene, Muzzin, Martinez, renting Sekera, are questionable, but I don't blame them. Also, it's a very, very, defensive minded system, and to me it's not so much the system, but when you reach the point of feeling like very talented offensive players can't play the system, well to me, you're reaching the point of having your blinders on! But DL, with the help of TM, pulled it off, not once, but twice, which was amazing! The question I pose is this? Do the Kings continue to stick with what I believe is the concept of having big guys that may or may not skate well that play defense extremely well but are somewhat limited offensively, or do they budge a little bit the other way and become a little more balanced, and have a few more little guys that skate well that might not play defense all that well but are extremely gifted offensively? Hockey is a specialized game, and you need out of your 20 you suit up each night a little bit of everything. To me, the Kings had too many forwards that are there to sit on a one goal lead, and with no one else, um,um the D pairings at times, not ever make any mistakes, because as Fs, we are here to shut down but not evr score, so we can't ever be behind! But as we saw this year, well we get behind! The Kings would have been a bear for some teams to play in the playoffs, but I think several would finally match up rather well.

That's the thing that sucks I guess. If you're going to miss the playoffs, at least miss them big enough to get a high draft pick. Barely missing is the worst in the short and long term unless you can find a gem in the draft. Luckily, our scouts are good so that's possible.
I am rootin' for ya'll.
A)TROLLPOSO is my homeboy.
B) You guys have earned a nice long run and a cup.

All Kings fans should be proud. You had great players on a solid team clawing their way to a Stanley Cup victory.
My team has not done that in 30 years; other teams have done worse. Kings fans may be disappointed in no playoff games this year. But seriously - two Cups in three years...

That's the NHL. Lombardi will have to make some magic this off-season. Kopitar contract, Sekera, finding a way to get rid of Voynov/Richards and having the balls to say goodbye to Stoll & Williams. That's what scares me more than anything, Lombardi not being able to let go and saying goodbye to Stoll & Williams this off-season, the way he should've with Richards and Greene.

Loyalty can only run so deep. Everybody is adults here. Dean should release him and Stoll knows what a cutthroat business the NHL is. I mean, Stoll's play all year spoke for itself. If Dean can't get rid of him after this season, we're ****ed.
